Se déplacer dans les environs
Subways are the fastest and cheapest way to get around.
You are a 10-14 mn walk to the A/C (Utica Ave & Fulton), C (Ralph Ave & Fulton), J/Z (Gates Ave & Broadway). The A and Z trains run express. The bus stop for the B62 bus is at the end of the block (Halsey & Ralph Ave), which will take you to downtown Brooklyn. If you plan on riding a lot, buy a 7-day unlimited metro card from any machine in the subway station. You can also pay as you go from your phone - just hold your phone up to the reader at the subway turnstile or on the bus.
