Getting Around
Most people will take the F train from the Smith and 9th Street stop, but from where you are it's always easier to take the overpass and walk over to the Carroll St stop. It's a more pleasant walk and takes about the same time to get there. Plus you could stop over Maglia Rosa and grab a a cup of coffee—the best in the neighborhood.
