Anthony's spot is literally right at the base of the Williamsburg Bridge, so it is centrally located and there are loads of great restaurants and bars around. Check out Post Office right next door and thier sister bar, OTB, is amazing as well. Also, I was in and out of Manhattan and other parts of Brooklyn very easily by bicycle and the occasional Lyft ride.
I recommend this spot to travelers that are looking for a good value and want to experience street-level New York. Lastly, if you travel with a lot of luggage or plan to have a bike, this place is perfect because it is right at ground level, so no need to climb a bunch of stairs. I enjoyed that aspect of the place for sure.
