If you'd like to greet us as we leave City Hall, we recommend gathering at Manhattan City Hall at 10:45 am. Michael, Rachael, and their parents are arriving at 10:45, the ceremony time is 11:15, and lasts 2 minutes. We could be taken early, we could be taken late. It's hard to predict the exact timing, so we recommend folks arrive early for the best chance of catching us as we exit the famous City Hall doors. (Be prepared for a little waiting around. We will reward you with pizza!) We will begin our bridge walk at noon. Please meet at : New York City Marriage Bureau 141 Worth St New York, NY 10007
We've booked Finback Brewery for pizza and beers from 2pm - 5pm. (Please note, the brewery won't be open before 2pm.) If you'd prefer to go straight to the brewery, please head to: Finback Brewery Brooklyn 545 President St Brooklyn, NY 11215
The walk is about 2 miles, and takes roughly 45 minutes of straight walking. There will be lots of tourists, so we won't be able to cross in one large group. We will try our best to stick together but if you get separated we recommend continuing the walk and heading to the brewery.
Walk : It's a 45 minute walk from the end of the bridge to the brewery. Subway : Head to the High St-Brooklyn Bridge Subway Station, take the A train to Jay St-MetroTech. Transfer at Jay St to the R train. Get off at Union St. Walk 2 minutes. Uber / Lyft : We recommend this option for folks who are less comfortable navigating the subway system.
Wear whatever makes you feel your best! Some folks will be getting dressed up, others will be more casual. The choice is yours! If you plan on walking the bridge, we highly recommend comfortable shoes. The average temperature on a June day in New York is around 70 degrees F / 21 degrees C.
There is a parking garage around the corner from the brewery. The garage is called Impark and is located at 30230 2nd St, Brooklyn, NY 11215. You can also try your luck with street parking in the neighborhood.
