NEWS FLASH: New “Nu Hotel” Beats the Marriott! July 16, 2008

STOP THE PRESSES!  We’ve just learned that there is a new hotel, actually named the “Nu Hotel”, right here in Brooklyn that seems to have better rates than the Marriott.  You can click here to read a local blog’s fairly favorable review of the hotel, or you can click here to go right to their website (www.nuhotelbrooklyn.com). It’s a smaller hotel and may fill up faster, so if you’re interested, probably best to book it soon.  If anyone has any luck or trouble finding deals at either hotel, please feel free to comment on this post to help others out with their lodging search.  Thanks!

While we’re at it, this just in from the same reliable source who brought us news of the Nu Hotel:

a woman I know has a great VRBO on Fort Greene place, right south of Fulton, #99 i believe. Her name is Margot Lewis. If anyone wants  it, i can vouch for having visited it and being duly impressed– very  clean and nicely furnished. In fact, she has multiple apts in the same bldg, so you may just want to tell a given group of characters about it and have them take over the whole bldg (minus Margot’s apt)

The VRBO our source describes here can be seen and booked by clicking here.

Leave Your Kids and High Heels at Home July 16, 2008

Just a practical note encouraging our guests to leave two things behind when they come to our wedding:

1)  KIDS.  Newborns can get a pass to stay with Mommy, but if your kid is bigger than a bread basket, and bipedal, it’s probably best to find a sitter (preferably an all-night sitter).  For one, we won’t have enough food for kiddies.  As well, their bedtimes will likely come right in the middle of all the fun and shuttling them home and returning to the Queens Farm will be an unthinkable odyssey.  We just don’t want parents to have to leave early and run the risk of not making it back.

2)  HIGH HEELS.  The wedding location is a working farm, need I say more?  The barn and tent will have actual “floors”, but everywhere else, it’s pastureland.  Wedges may be your best bet.

Thanks for understanding!
