Stratford Manor B&B

I am planning on staying at Stratford Manor in Brooklyn. Has anyone stayed there? How much will a taxi cost from LGA?

Taxi will probably cost about $30 from LGA depending

on what time of day. I live in Brooklyn and had

never heard of this place but more and more are

popping up every day. If you are committed to this

place call the Innkeeper and ask her for a recommendation for a car service (limo) it might end up

being cheaper in case you are caught in traffic near

LGA.Trips from LGA to Brooklyn are on the meter as

opposed to Manhattan where it is a flat fee.

The location is ok but not really near anything.

I think there is a subway stop not too far and you

will probably want to check that out to find things

to do.

10th street at 4th avenue is not really what I

would call a happening place but again not a bad

neighborhood.

If you don%26#39;t know anything about Brooklyn just

stay off the forum. In reading all your responses

it looks like you get paid to send people to the

NYC forum. Brooklyn is part of NYC but some people

will start here first. Just answer their questions.

Thank you, we chose the location as we are visting our daughter who lives on 4th ave and she said we can take the R Train from 9th-10th st to her place at 67th. I could not find anything in the Bayridge area.

And thanks for helping and giving suggestions. I thought I had done something wrong by posting in the Brooklyn forum.

Not at all. Brooklyn if it were a stand alone city

would be the 6th largest in the US in terms of area.

That person who put a note to look at the NYC forum

has been doing that for a long time and I don%26#39;t

know why. By posting on the Brooklyn site you will

get much more focused responses. There are some in

Manhattan that probably have never been to Brooklyn.

Anyway, now that I know about your daughter, your

plan makes sense and you already know about the R

line. Just learn the subway and bus system and get

an unlimited card for the time you are here and

you will be fine.

I%26#39;ll keep an eye out on this forum and if I can

answer any questions for you I will. Enjoy Brooklyn.

I suggested you also post your question on the NYC forum because it covers all 5 boroughs and is much more widely read than the forums for the individual boroughs. You will get more responses if you post there, that%26#39;s all.

Incidentally, bilmin09, Brooklyn would be the fourth-largest city in the US, not the sixth.

I stand corrected and you probably are right but with

all your knowledge if someone is going to come on

the Brooklyn Forum and you are taking the time to

redirect them as I have seen you do so many times why

not also just answer the question and then suggest

they come on the NYC forum.

Thanks, One of the places we really enjoy in Brooklyn is the Botanical Gardens. Looks like we can catch the F train from rth ave and get close to Prospect park. Is that a good way to get to the BG or can you suggest a better way.

Yes- take the R at 9th street heading towards Manhattan two stops to Atlantic Avenue-- switch to the

2 train heading away from Manhattan to Brooklyn Museum-

which is right at the Entrance to the BBG.. total

travel time about 15 minutes--

Ps: my daughter was married at the BBG- we love it

too.

At your first subway stop get a transit map and

use the maps on the wall at each station.. they will

prove invaluable.
