About Brooklyn/Metrotech

A lot has changed in Brooklyn in the past few years, so you might not recognize it anymore if you haven’t visited in a while.  Metrotech is very accessible by taxi and subway.  We do not recommend that you rent a car, as parking is difficult and you won’t need a car here.

Taxi and Ride Share

Taxis have become much more plentiful in the past couple of years in Brooklyn due to the introduction of the green taxis.  You can take a green taxi or a yellow taxi from Brooklyn to anywhere in NYC.  Its especially easy to pickup a taxi on Flatbush Ave northbound side, just a 2 min walk away, as many cabs use that street to return to Manhattan.
