Traveler advice
Getting around
Subways are the fastest way to get around
Closest stop is the Classon Av G train at Classon & Lafayette 2 min away. To get to Manhattan, take the G to Metropolitan Av and transfer to a Manhattan bound L train. Also, don’t be afraid to take the buses! The apartment is centrally located in 10-15 different bus routes that can take you to Downtown Brooklyn, Park Slope, Prospect Park, Bushwick, and more.
Don't miss
The Fort Greene farmer’s market is a must
Every Saturday, Fort Greene hosts a huge farmer’s market right on the South side of the park. Really great fresh produce, baked goods, and people watching.
