Pod Brooklyn Hotel Shuttles

An ultra minimal choice at the heart of Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood, Pod Brooklyn Hotel offers just enough space to get work done and sleep. Cool desk spaces are available throughout the hotel, including an atrium-lit meeting space, slide-out chairs along mounted desks and lofty sofas. A rooftop garden and patio lounge also makes work breaks easy, as does a warehouse-themed sports bar and attached bar. Complimentary perks include Wi-Fi throughout social spaces and guided walking tours of the city, not to mention close access to the Bedford Avenue Subway Station. Take the train to Manhattan in a flash or leave the city altogether with a mind to explore modest mainland gems in Jersey. Other forms of transportation include meet-and-greet services like taxis, local personal drivers and stretched limousines, each ideal for getting to busy flights at LaGuardia and big-time events at the nearby Brooklyn EXPO Center.

Get to know what’s close when the day starts, relaxed nearby green spaces including McCarren Park’s vast swimming pool and connected access to the taste testing rooms of Museum of Food and Drink Lab (MOFAD). Move beyond the urban greenery of McCarren for waterside lookouts at the just-as-close East River State Park, a dramatic site for picnics due to windy views of the departing (or arriving) North Williamsburg Ferry and its idyllic Saturday food markets dubbed Smorgasburg. For something less ambitious, walk down the hotel’s adjacent Metropolitan Avenue for casual landmarks that include The City Reliquary Museum’s fast history of NYC and a touch of country at the honky tonk bar vibes of Skinny Dennis. Meals can easily be had at Fette Sau, a great chaser for honky tonk due to flavorful barbecue and old saloon decor, while the even closer New England recipes of Extra Fancy whiff nice scents to passerby.
