»Getting Here Music Hall of Williamsburg 66 North 6th Street Between Kent and Wythe Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY 11211 Need directions? No problem. Check below for a variety of different ways to get yourself to the Festival! Since a parking spot is hard to come by, we recommend taking public transportation. For door-to-door directions using trains, buses, or your own two feet, check out HopStop.com. If you're coming by public transportation from outside the city, you can get directions from the major transit hubs (Grand Central Station, Penn Station, Port Authority Bus Terminal etc.) to the Festival venue, your hotel, or anywhere you'd want to go during your trip to the Big Apple. If you'd like advice from a seasoned New Yorker, please visit our Forum and inquire there! From Brooklyn: Take the G train to the Metropolitan/Lorimer stop, transfer to the L train in the direction of Manhattan. Go one stop to Bedford Avenue. Once out of the subway, you'll be on Bedford Ave. and North 7th Street. Walk one block to North 6th Street, make a right and walk two and a half blocks down to #66. We're between Wythe Avenue and Kent Avenue. From Manhattan by Subway & Bus: Take the L train (catch it along 14th Street in the City) to Bedford Ave (first stop in Brooklyn).

At North 6th Street, make a left and we're two and a half blocks down, on the left at #66. We're between Wythe Avenue and Kent Avenue.

At those lights, take a sharp right onto North 6th Street. We're six blocks down at #66, between Wythe Avenue and Kent Avenue on the left. From the BQE (East): Take the Metropolitan Avenue exit.

Therefore, to help those of you who plan to stay in our fair city, we have compiled a list of hotels and hostels that you may want to check out for accomodations. If you want to stay in a hostel, it's important to book ahead. We recommend you use Hostels.com to make a secure reservation. It's also cheaper to book online, as sometimes the prices go up if you book in person. You should also make sure you bring ID with you, such as a Passport or Driver's License as all hostels require identification. Be advised that some hostels are cash only! The NYCWRF and its planning committee does not officially endorse any of the below lodgings. This is merely a list to help you find a place to stay.
