It's totally up to you! Driving is more comfortable for some people, but public transportation is very easy to navigate. Please see our "travel" tab for more details.
We have blocked rooms at The Williamsburg Hotel (2-night minimum for lowest price) and the Courtyard Marriott-Long Island City (Queens). If you have a different favorite hotel in the city, by all means, stay there! You might also be interested in renting a room or an apartment using AirBnB. Besides the Williamsburg Hotel, here are some other hotels that are walking distance to our venue: The Wythe Hotel, The Williamvale ($$$$), The Hoxton, and The McCarren Park Hotel.
