Directions from Nu Hotel to Montauk Club

Most folks are staying at the Nu Hotel. These directions and options will help you get from there to the Montauk Club, the wedding venue.

Option 1) Take a "car service". It is difficult to hail a yellow cab in Brooklyn. Most of the time they will not stop for you or are wanting to head back into Manhattan, therefore they are doing something technically illegal, though unenforceable for all intents and purposes, and you are SOL. Therefore, you call a "car service" which will pick you up at a location and take you to another. Most of the time it is a Lincoln Town Car in decent shape, though this can vary.

Arecibo Car Service 718-783-6465 (This is our preferred car service. Very prompt, typically the best priced.)
Cobble Hill 718-643-1113 (Used only once. Near hotel.)
Promenade Car Service 718-858-6666
Cadman Express River Car & Limo Service 718-858-7771

You will call the number, they'll pick up and say something indecipherable. You should reply, "Hello, I'm needing a car at 85 Smith Street and I'm going to 25 8th Ave in Park Slope, Brooklyn." They'll likely reply "Between?" which means what corner. So you reply "Smith and Atlantic" for the Nu Hotel and "8th Ave. between St. John's Place and Lincoln Place" for the Montauk Club. Then they'll mumble "5 mins." and promptly hang up. After a few mins., go outside and wait for a black Lincoln Towncar (most likely) to pull up. Then tell him again where you're going and ask the price. The car will cost $7-10, likely.

You could also ask the desk clerk to call you a car. That could work too and maybe there's someone else they'd recommend.

The car should know the way. It should only be a 5-10 min trip, depending on traffic. Here are car directions in case you want them.

Option 2) The Subway. Take the 2 or 3 Train at the Hoyt St. stop (at Fulton St.) to the Grand Army Plaza Stop. (Do not go to the Hoyt-Schermerhorn stop, those trains won't get you there.) Exit the subway and you will find yourself at a large arch and an entrance to a park. The Montauk Club is northwest of the park at the corner of 8th Ave and Lincoln Place. If this is your first time in NY, the subway at Hoyt St. could be hard to find. I don't even know that I've been to that subway stop. If you're set on taking the subway to the Montauk Club, perhaps ask the hotel's desk person how to get to the subway stop and tell her/him you're needing either the 2 train, the 3 train, or the B or Q train. That will put you within one to two blocks of the Montauk Club.

Option 3) Walk. If it's nice weather and you're adventurous, walk. It's about 1.5 miles and if you walk through Boerum Hill and Park Slope, you'll have a decent idea of our neighborhood. Above is a nice little walking route. If it's warm, however, I wouldn't walk.

And remember, the ceremony begins shortly after 5 pm.
