Question
What should I wear?
Answer
Attire is garden cocktail chic—think garden party meets the streets of Soho. For men, wear a suit or blazer but ties are optional. Ladies, break out your finest springtime cocktail, midi, or maxi length dresses, perfect for a night of dancing under the stars. We encourage you to embrace pastel colors, floral prints, and to show off that one outfit you’ve been saving for just the right occasion. Have fun with it and dress to impress! Guests will have to walk through the park to get to our venue, so please reconsider stilettos and instead opt for a thicker heel. May can be unpredictable, so having a light layer on hand is a good call in case we get a little New York spring chill! For more ideas, check out this mood board: https://pin.it/7JbWJmHe1

Question
Where should I fly into?
Answer
If you are staying in Brooklyn we recommend flying into LGA or JFK. The easiest way to get from the airport to your hotel is taking a taxi from one of the taxi lines, or by calling an Uber or Lyft. Expect to pay around $50-80 for the trip. Another option for those flying into JFK is to take the Airtram to the Subway. A one-way trip is about $13.
Question
How do I get around the city?
Answer
Hop on the MTA like a real New Yorker! All buses and trains are "tap to pay" with your phone or card, so no need to buy a metro card. We recommend using Google Maps to point you to the nearest public transportation. If you would prefer to travel by car, Uber and Lyft are easiest- or channel your inner Carrie Bradshaw and try hailing a cab! If you are flying in, we don't recommend renting a car. If you are driving, budget extra travel time to find parking. There are several parking garages within walking distance of our hotel blocks.
