Went on our first date

As everyone knows – We love Astoria!

Radegast Wedding!
TBD!!
GETTING TO RADEGAST HALL AND BIERGARTEN
By Subway

More often than not, the train is the fastest way to get about NYC. We suggest that you use Google or Apple maps to help plan your trip. Radegast is a 7 minute walk from the Bedford Avenue L stop. Please let us know if you need a hand figuring it out!

By Car

There is a parking garage on Berry Street between N 3rd and N 4th, half a block away from the venue. Long Island folks - you will presumably be coming off of the BQE expressway to arrive at the venue. Take exit 32B for Metropolitan avenue and continue straight down Metropolitan. There are parking lots on both N 3rd Street and Metropolitan Ave (between Wythe and Berry), just up the block from Radegast!

By Ferry

A personal favorite of ours! You can take the East River Route ferry line and get off at the North Williamsburg stop; Radegast is only a 10 minute walk from the ferry station. You can board this line at any of the following ferry stations: Hunter's Point South, East 34th Street, Greenpoint, South Williamsburg, Dumbo, and Wall Street. *There is a bar on the boat

HOTELS AND ACCOMMODATIONS
The Penny (Close by & fancy...but a little pricey)
