Getting There
We’re very happy to have found a way to get married right in Brooklyn, so close to home for us and for so many of our guests. Even those of you outside of the city limits will find The Montauk Club easy to get to, with plenty of parking nearby.
The Club is at 25 Eighth Avenue, which is at the northeast corner of Park Slope, next to Grand Army Plaza. For reference (and for creating your own driving directions), use this Google Maps link. Drivers will find most instructions bringing you to the Manhattan Bridge, which spills out onto Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn. Continue down Flatbush about a mile and a half until you come to the large, one-way traffic circle of Grand Army Plaza and Plaza Street. If you take the first right out of the circle onto Lincoln Place, that grand old building on your right is The Montauk Club.
PARKING: There are several garages surrounding The Montauk Club, and the most convenient is at 906 Union Street (Google Maps link), which is two blocks south of Lincoln Place. The garage is between Plaza Street and Eighth Avenue, on the north side of the street. There’s another parking garage farther down Union, between Sixth and Seventh Avenues. You might also notice a garage on Flatbush Avenue as well, shortly before the Plaza, but it’s a bit of a nightmare to get in and out of, due to traffic and one-way streets. (You can also try and park on the street, but in Park Slope, that can be more frustrating than it’s worth!)
SUBWAYS: We’re especially pleased that The Montauk Club is right outside of the working man’s limousine — the subway. Take the 2/3 to Grand Army Plaza and come out of one of the station’s “SE of Flatbush Ave” exits, and you can see the back of The Montauk Club from the top of the stairs. There’s also a B/D station a few blocks farther up Flatbush Avenue, if that’s a better train for you to take.
CAR SERVICES: For those of you disinterested in hoofing it through the subway at evening’s end, we’ll have a set of car service phone numbers for your use near the Club’s coat check. There are also generally plenty of empty cabs speeding up Eighth Avenue to head back into the city at all hours of the day, so you can just go outside and stick out an arm if you’d like!
If you have any questions or specific needs regarding getting to and from the big event, send us a note at botchick@gmail.com, and we’ll do everything we can to make sure you have all the information and tips you need.
