ACCOMODATIONS


1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge

This is the closest hotel to the venue, just a short 3 minute walk from The River Cafe. It’s located on Brooklyn Bridge Park and has a beautiful view of the Manhattan skyline. We will be staying here! Unfortunately they don’t offer room blocks, so we recommend booking sooner than later.

New York Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge

Another wonderful option at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge, and about a 10 minute drive from the venue. We have some room blocks here. Book your stay before April 26th using the link below to receive a discounted rate!

Fink Collins Wedding Marriott

Ace Hotel Brooklyn

A cool vibe about a 13 minute drive from the venue. Laura stayed here for several days after packing up her Fort Greene apartment and had a great experience. It’s beautiful and the food and coffee at the restaurant inside were healthy and delicious!

RESTAURANTS WE LOVE

There are only a million options! These are our absolute favorites, and we recommend checking to see if they require reservations about a month in advance. Ippudo and Via Carota are walk-in only but often have a long wait time (sometimes 1-2 hrs), so go with time to spare!

LITTLE NY’ERS

If you plan on bringing your kids for the weekend, that’s cool! But we have absolutely no idea what to recommend. Do they enjoy fine dining??? Lucky for you the website Mommy Poppins exists and we suggest you defer to them for ideas.
