Where to stay:

We've reserved a block of rooms at Le Parker Meridien Hotel, located on 58th Street between 6th Avenue and Broadway, just south of Central Park. Just a block from Carnegie Hall and right between the Theater District and the shopping of Fifth Avenue, the Parker Meridien is one of the city's finest hotels. Superior double / king rooms are $199 per night, a junior suite is $255 per night, and park view suites are $375 per night (plus tax).

Be careful about area and quality. Email us if you have questions.

On the big day:

A shuttle from Le Parker Meridien to the Lighthouse at Chelsea Piers will be provided on Saturday for the wedding. Please be in the lobby by 11 am and ask for the shuttle to the Shaw/Bergstrom wedding. The shuttle can also bring you back after the wedding.

During the rest of your stay in NYC, taxis are easy to find—just look for a cab with the roof light illuminated, indicating it's for hire. Plenty of information on using NY subways can be found online. (Don't miss the "how to ride" section!)
