Hotel
We have secured a room block for our guests at the Hilton Garden Inn by Queensboro Plaza. The hotel is about a 10-minute walk to the reception venue and a 30-minute walk to Gantry Plaza state park (public transit options to the park are also available). The Hilton Garden Inn is near the Queenboro Plaza subway stop, offering easy transport options to Manhattan if you want to do any other sightseeing. The following discounted nightly rates are available. Note that an additional 14.75% tax will be applied! 1 king bed- $269.00, for up to 2 adults 1 Queen bed with a Sofa bed- $279.00, for up to 3 adults Double beds - $309.00, for up to 4 adults Breakfast is not included in the above room rates.

If you'd prefer to make your reservations by phone, please call the hotel’s reservations department at 718-786-6001 (be sure to mention Hamilton & Seay Wedding to get the discounted rate!). If you wish to extend your stay, the hotel has agreed to honor the discounted rate from August 30th - September 6th (subject to availability). If you want to book an extended stay, call the hotel's reservation department directly.
House Or Rental
Airbnb (or similar) is another good option - you can find something in Long Island City or elsewhere in NYC, depending on what else you might want to do during your visit. LIC is easy to get to from most parts of Manhattan, neighborhoods in Queens along the 7 or N/W trains, and neighborhoods in Brooklyn along the G line. It's still doable, but expect longer travel times if you're commuting from deeper in Brooklyn or far uptown in Manhattan.
Flight
We recommend flying into either LaGuardia or JFK. From either airport, you can catch a cab or take public transit to get to Long Island City (or wherever you decide to stay).
Train
Amtrak is a great option - you can easily transfer to public transit from Moynihan Train Hall. The E train at Penn Station will bring you right to LIC.
Travel Note
If you plan to drive, you will either need to pay for parking during the course of your visit or secure street parking. If you would like to explore New York during your stay, plan to use public transit or ride share.
