Flight
NYC has several airports to choose from, but LaGuardia is the easiest and only a 15 minute drive to Astoria.
Flight
JFK is a bit further than LaGuardia, but you can get to Astoria either by car or subway in 45-60 minutes.
Hotel
Ana and I are staying at the Courtyard Marriott in LIC Friday and Saturday nights. There isn't a reserved block so feel free to stay wherever you like - there are a number of hotels in Long Island City! This area is a 10 minute drive or 15 minute subway ride from the reception venue.
