Marcia has a very nice place here in a fun little neighborhood. We used it as a base of operations to do some things in lower Manhattan and to explore Brooklyn itself. It is really close to the East River Ferry, which was a nice alternative to 'all subway all the time.' Junior's Cheesecake is about a mile away, Grimaldi's is even closer, and the Sunday we were there a little street market opened up on the next block with lots of trinkets, antiques, and other vendors. The place itself is really unique and open with much of the art created by Marcia herself. You do need to know that it is, exactly as the location describes, under the Manhattan Bridge overpass. The train passes regularly, which at first seemed too loud, but I quickly got used to it and it blended into the background.
