The neighborhood's location along the East River with direct access to Williamsburg Bridge and BQE makes it an ideal starting point for trips throughout the region. Choose from trendy cafés and restaurants while you wait for your car.

Williamsburg Bridge leads directly to Manhattan's Lower East Side, just 3 km away and a 10-minute drive. Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (BQE) can be reached in 5 minutes and provides quick access north toward Queens and LaGuardia Airport (15 km, approximately 20 minutes). Bushwick is 2 km south and Greenpoint is 3 km north.
