Hotel
We recommend guests stay at the Box House Hotel. The hotel is the venue for the wedding and reception. It is also walking distance from the welcome event on Friday. The hotel is located in Greenpoint, a safe, walkable Brooklyn neighborhood with exciting restaurants, bars, and shops, plus a waterfront with stunning views. Our original room block has filled, but we have obtained an additional block at a 20% discount from the prices listed on the Box House website. It is necessary to call the hotel and mention our new block code, 536872, to get the discounted rate. You may also find even lower rates with limited supply at third party sites like Priceline and booking.com; the hotel has agreed to match these rates if you call them. Rates on third party travel sites are often non-refundable, but the hotel will honor their own standard cancellation policy, which allows cancellation free of charge at least 30 days before the stay. Reach out to us if you have any questions or issues, especially if the Box House does not honor what we have stated here.

Travel Note
We recommend taking a car (Uber/Lyft or taxi) to the Box House from your airport of choice. If you stay at a different hotel, a car will probably still be the best option, though there are exceptions (the transit feature on Google Maps is the best way to see public transportation options). Airports: LaGuardia is the airport closest to the Box House. JFK is the second closest, followed by Newark.
Travel Note
For those who are not staying at the Box House, we will make discount codes available to ease travel back to your accomodation.
Hotel
If the Box House is not a good fit, we can also recommend the Freehand New York, located in the Flatiron neighborhood of Manhattan. The rates ($335 per night after taxes and fees at the time of this writing) are among the most reasonable to be found in the core of the city. Keep in mind that the lower rates at the Freehand may be offset by transportation costs to and from the welcome event and wedding. The Freehand is 30-40 minutes by Uber or subway from the wedding event venues.
