Arlin & Tim

We recommend staying somewhere in Lower Manhattan—anywhere between Tribeca, the Financial District, and the East Village will keep you close to the celebration.

We’ve grouped a few options to help make things easier depending on your vibe and budget.

If you want to be as close as possible to the reception, Tribeca is the move—beautiful, classic New York, and very convenient (but typically a bit pricier).

If you’re making a full weekend out of it and want to stay where we actually hang out, look at the East Village / Lower East Side—it’s lively, full of great food and bars, and has a little more personality (and chaos, in a good way).

And if you’re trying to keep things more budget-friendly, we’ve included options across the city that are still an easy subway ride or quick Uber away—NYC is very accessible, so you won’t miss out by staying a bit farther out.

Get home easily after the party is over!
