Recommended Hotel: EVEN Hotel Brooklyn
Why: Competitive Rates, Focus on health and wellness, Free WiFi
There are many hotels in the Downtown Brooklyn area. The major hotel chains like Marriott and Hilton are present and on par with what you’d expect from those brands. However, we recommend the EVEN Hotel Brooklyn. The EVEN brand focuses on health and wellness and guests seem to like the extra spa-like amenities. The fitness center is open 24/7. Breakfast is available for purchase each morning in the Cork and Kale Market and Bar, though there is not a full restaurant. Mineral water and water infused with flavors like cucumber and pomegranate are available all day for free. Guests like that there is also basic workout equipment and workout videos in each room. We recommend the Even Hotel Brooklyn to health conscious travelers who want to enjoy their trip without getting off track from a fitness routine.
About Downtown Brooklyn
Who is Best for this Location?
Downtown Brooklyn is a great area for people who want to enjoy the best of both Manhattan and Brooklyn as the public transit is excellent and you can easily hop between neighborhoods from downtown.
Neighborhood Vibe: Downtown is the commercial heart of Brooklyn and is quickly becoming a popular residential area as well. However, after five and on weekends it’s still a quiet neighborhood. Downtown Brooklyn is a great area for people who want to enjoy the best of both Manhattan and Brooklyn as the public transit is excellent and you can easily hop between neighborhoods from downtown.
Getting Around: It takes about half an hour to reach Times Square on the Subway, which is the best method of transportation in Brooklyn.
What to Eat: Downtown Brooklyn is home to the original Junior’s, which is famous for their New York style cheesecakes. There are plenty of places to get a great quick lunch in downtown like Fulton Hot Dog King or Halalish. Chef’s Table at Brooklyn Fare is an excellent place to celebrate a special occasion.
Things to Do: The top sight in Downtown Brooklyn is the New York Transit Museum. At this popular museum you get to see and explore vintage trains while learning the history of mass transit in NYC.
