City advice

Getting around

Subways are the fastest and most efficient way to get around

3 and 4 subway lines are just around the corner: make a right when you leave the house, then a left at the street corner. You also have the L line 10 blocks away towards the East if you want to go to Williamsburg (hippy Brooklyn neighborhood) .
