Travel Note
We do not have a hotel block set up. Hotels near the airport (Hampton Inn, Hilton, Fairfield Inn, Courtyard Marriott, etc.) and Airbnb's on street numbers higher than 90 would be best. Much below that street number is not as nice of an area, so make sure you're not staying away from the beach in Arverne or anywhere in Far Rockaway. If you're looking for the true New York experience, downtown hotels are also a great option! Note that Bungalow Bar is about 45 minutes from downtown by train.
Travel Note
It would be easiest to fly into JFK. If you're staying in a hotel near the airport, your best option is to catch a taxi or Uber/Lyft. If you're traveling to a destination further away, the Airtrain toward Howard Beach ($5, pay when you exit) is likely what you need to take to get into the train system.
