You've likely been to Manhattan, but have you spent any time in Brooklyn?
We highly recommend staying in Brooklyn, which is where the venue is located. There are amazing things to do, places to eat, and places to stay. See the Things to Do tab for more suggestions!
There are tons of hotels in NYC, but some of our favorites (in order of closest to furthest from the venue) are listed below.
There are some AirBnBs in the city, but VERY few. Additionally, there are some more affordable hotels in Long Island City including a Hilton Garden Inn, Aloft, Wyndham, etc.
The best airports are LGA and JFK, but EWR in New Jersey is also not too far. LGA is by far our favorite and the easiest.
