Registry
Your presence is the greatest gift! While we have all the things we could possibly need after living together for over 6 years, we've compiled a list of home and honeymoon items that would help make our love nest even cozier. We also encourage you to make donations at the charities we chose in lieu of gifts.
Travel
Getting In
For those flying, any NYC airport is reachable - with Laguardia and JFK being closer to Brooklyn than EWR.
It's about a 30-45 min uber from LGA/JFK to most parts of Brooklyn, or you can take public transportation (subway / train / bus) for less - about 1hr15m.
HOTELS
We have done our very best D&D travel research on hotel deals, and unfortunately, NYC hotel prices simply continue to drop the closer you get to the date of booking. Hotels right now will show reasonable prices for this coming weekend, but very high prices for the date of our event.
For this reason, we recommend waiting until 1-2 weeks prior to the event to book at an affordable rate (with the best prices coming in the days directly prior). We understand that is not everyone's style, but rest assured, there will ALWAYS be rooms in NYC.
For those hotel searching: PARK SLOPE, DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN, and LOWER EAST SIDE are all good areas (with anywhere in Lower Manhattan or Brooklyn being convenient!)

Things to do in NYC
Vintage shopping (Beacon's Closet on 5th Ave is Damaris's fav!)
Stroll Dekalb Ave (between Vanderbilt and Ashland) for a lively, shop-lined Brooklyn strip! (Fort Greene Park will have a farmers market on Saturday).
Prospect Park Farmers Market (Saturday) - our go-to every weekend!
Grab a slice at Joe's Pizza (any of their 5 locations in Brooklyn or Manhattan)
Roller skating in Prospect Park - Brooklyn's backyard and (in our opinion) cooler than Central!
