Travel & Stay

Recommendations

NYC is quite large and is split into 5 boroughs. We recommend staying in one of three: Queens, Manhattan, or Brooklyn. Any of the three are anywhere from 5-25 minutes from either the ceremony or venue.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the city, please see some practical advice below:

If you choose to stay in our beloved Queens

…know that you are closest to the ceremony and can choose to use ride share services, or take the 7 train to the Vernon Blvd-Jackson Av stop. We also live here and are 5-10 minutes from any hotel we’ve listed.

If you choose to stay in busy Manhattan

…you may also use ride share services to get to Queens. Bear in mind that it is free but longer for cars to take Queensboro bridge. A shorter, but tolled route is the midtown tunnel. To use public transportation, we recommend staying somewhere along the 7 line. Major stops in Manhattan are: Grand Central 42nd Street, 5th Avenue Bryant Park, and Hudson Yards.

If staying in bohemian Brooklyn

…staying in Greenpoint puts you closer to the ceremony. Staying in Williamsburg makes you equidistant to both the ceremony and venue, and staying in DUMBO puts you closer to the venue.

RULES OF THUMB
1.) Expect to pay approximately $1.00/minute for Ubers/Lyfts starting at $9.00
2.) Download the CURB app if you don’t want to get ripped off by taxi drivers
3.) Subway fares are currently $2.90/person. Allow for a 15 minute buffer to account for delays
