Getting to BKLYN!

Hi family and friends!

People have been asking about airports, subways and the like...so here are some tips...

The airport that we typically use is JFK because it is so close to the A subway line, which makes an easy commute to our neighborhood. Here's what we usually do:

• Take the Airtrain in JFK to the Howard Beach station, pay $7 to enter the A subway line
• Take a Manhattan bound A train to Jay Street Borough Hall
• Go up the stairs and down to the other side to catch a Coney Island bound F train (do not go across the platform, otherwise you will be taking a Manhattan/Queens bound F train)
• Go one stop to Bergen Street, exit the station at the front of the train (Smith Street and Warren)
• Walk out of the subway and go right on Smith street (toward the Rite Aid) and walk a few blocks (pass Baltic, Butler, and Douglass) to Degraw street and take a right
• The building will be on your left, 336 apt #1

You can also take taxi from the airport, it typically costs $35-$40. La Guardia is a bit further, and not as accessible by public transportation. A taxi from La Guardia will be $45-$50.
