Other Hotels in the Area

We made a conscious choice to book our block at a union hotel. But if you choose to stay somewhere other than the New York Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge, we urge you to check fairhotel.org first to at least ensure there isn't a union boycott called for against a property you're staying at.

Tipping Guide + Daily Housekeeping

Please visit https://fairhotel.org/plan-events/tipping-guide to ensure you're tipping all the workers who attend to you in the hotel a fair amount. On a related note, please ask for daily housekeeping upon arrival at the hotel. According to UNITE HERE, research shows that ending daily housekeeping would slash jobs and make housekeepers’ workloads even more painful, because rooms are much dirtier after days without cleaning and sanitizing.

How to Take the Subway to the Wedding

We love public transit; take the subway to the wedding! For out of towners, we highly recommend using either CityMapper or Google Maps to help guide you as a back-up. FROM ANYWHERE: Take the B, Q, or Franklin Av S to Prospect Park and exit via the Lincoln Road exit. The park will be visible on your right; security will be at the Ocean Ave/Lincoln Road park entrance ready to direct you to the Boathouse. FROM THE NEW YORK MARRIOTT AT THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE: Walk ~10 mins to the Dekalb Ave Q stop. Take the Q toward Coney Island/Stillwell Ave and get off at Prospect Park. Exit via the Lincoln Road exit. The park will be visible on your right; security will be at the Ocean Ave/Lincoln Road park entrance ready to direct you to the Boathouse.
