Hotel
The Freehand is centrally located in NYC so we figured it would be convenient for anyone visiting. It has multiple bars (including one on the roof), a restaurant, and a coffee shop with to-go food. It's also a 5 minute cab from the Midtown Tunnel and a 10/15 minute walk from the L train in order to get to Brooklyn Saturday evening. Book through this specific link by May 6th in order to get the rate of $259/night plus tax. (Rate is available for the nights of June 6, 7, and 8th).
Travel Note
Obviously it's New York so there are a plethora of other places to stay. We don't mind at all if you stay at another hotel or get an Airbnb in groups. We just wanted to provide a reasonable (for NYC) and convenient option at the Freehand.
Travel Note
Bogart House is in East Williamsburg and is easily accessible via the L train to Grand Street. It is about a 5 minute walk from the train. You can also take Uber/Lyft, or if you take a cab, tell them Bogart & Ten Eyck Street in Williamsburg.
