There are so many ways to get around in NYC! You can use the Lyft or Uber app on your phones, or hop in a yellow cab from the cab dispatcher station at the airport. Just an FYI...there is a new "Car App" dispatcher pick-up location at both airports. Follow the signs for "Car-App Pickups."
New Yorkers love walking! The venue is a short 5 minute walk from the hotels listed on our website. If that isn't doable, take a car! Public transit is not necessary for this short commute.
All of the destinations in our recommendations page are walking distance from the hotels. The longest distance is a 15 minute walk. You probably will not have to take the subway.
Google Maps is going to be your best friend on this trip! You can even download a map of Brooklyn so you have access even when you are not connected to WiFi. We suggest to add "favorites" to your map (click the 'heart' icon) so they are easy to find when walking around.
Yes! Just like any big city, be alert and smart. If something doesn't feel comfortable, trust your gut. Downtown Brooklyn is always busy and full of beautifully diverse people, so you will probably never be the only one out and about.
Absolutely! Send us a message for Manhattan adventure suggestions:) [Diane 440.488.8739/Max 703.785.8812]
