The Old Stone house is a historic replica of the original built in the late 1600s. It is a museum and cultural center - many many performances take place upstairs throughout the year. Washington park is on the site where the Battle of Long Island was fought, the first battle of the American Revolution in New York after the Declaration of Independence.

Cheap ways to travel from JFK Airport

If you're traveling solo or +1 and don't have heavy bags, and want to save some money, here are two travel options: SUBWAY: Take the AirTrain (Cost: $5) to Howard Beach subway stop, and then take the A train ( $2.75) to Jay-Street-Metrotech station, change for R train (direction: 95th St.), take that 3 stops to Union Street station. You'll be an 8-minute walk from our apartment. LONG ISLAND RR: Take AirTrain to Jamaica station ($5), then walk to LIRR. Buy a ticket to Atlantic Terminal station ($7.25 off-peak). At Atlantic Terminal, change for R train ($2.75) to Union St station.

Cheap car service from JFK and LaGuardia

We have a reliable, inexpensive car service here in Park Slope that gets you to and from both airports much cheaper than a regular taxi or car share. It's called "Eastern." To/from JFK it costs $35 (cash), $40 (credit card); To/from LaGuardia it costs $30 (cash), $35 (credit card). Tips appreciated. You can reserve ahead of time by calling (718) 499-6227, or by downloading their app. We are also happy to do it for you, but we would need your flight information.
