Great value for a stay in Brooklyn. It is only about a three-minute walk to the NYC Ferry where you can take a beautiful ferry ride to the city (Wall Street precisely) for only $2.75 per adult! Can't beat that! The street is super quiet, especially at night. If you have a kid there is an awesome park just a bit down the street. For an amazing lobster roll definitely hit up Red Hook Lobster Pound which is only two blocks away. Brooklyn Crab has a cool ambiance and view but the food isn't nearly as good. you can see the Statue of Liberty from the Waterfront, which is cool. As far as traveling to other spots in Brooklyn, we took Ubers but that's what we do in any neighborhood we stay in!
