Brooklyn is a big borough with very different corners: brownstone streets in Park Slope where a coach will never fit, waterfront warehouses in Williamsburg and Red Hook that host half the city’s weddings, and long residential avenues in Bay Ridge and Sheepshead Bay that are a straight run to JFK along the Belt Parkway. We plan each booking around which Brooklyn it is.

Airports from Brooklyn
For most of Brooklyn, JFK is the closest major airport, a run east along the Belt Parkway. North Brooklyn and Downtown are often closer to LaGuardia via the BQE. Newark is reachable through Manhattan or across Staten Island and the Verrazzano, and from Bay Ridge the Verrazzano route is usually the better one.
Brownstone streets and coaches: many Brooklyn side streets are too narrow, or too tightly parked, for a full-size coach to stop. For group pick-ups in brownstone neighbourhoods we usually suggest a nearby avenue for the coach, or our 28-seat mini bus or a Sprinter, which fit where a coach cannot.

Brooklyn questions
How long does it take from Brooklyn to JFK?
From southeast Brooklyn, often 20 to 40 minutes. From Williamsburg or Downtown, 35 to 60, depending on the Belt Parkway and the BQE. We plan the timing when you book.
Can you take us to the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal?
Yes, from anywhere in the city or from the airports. Tell us your sailing time and we will plan the pick-up so you arrive within the cruise line’s check-in window.
Can a coach pick up on my street?
Send us the address and we will check. Many brownstone streets cannot take a full-size coach; we will suggest the nearest workable spot or a smaller vehicle.
