From Manhattan by public transportation: Take the L train to the
Myrtle / Wyckoff Avenues Station, then take the Q55 bus (outbound, east)
for approximately 2 miles to the studio.
From Manhattan by car: Take Williamsburg Bridge onto Broadway. Turn left
onto Myrtle Avenue and go to 65th Street. You can also take the
Brooklyn Bridge onto Flatbush Avenue, then turn left onto Myrtle Avenue
and go to 65th Street. Local street parking may be difficult but one
solution is to park in the huge parking lot of the supermarket located at
the corner of Myrtle Avenue and 65th Street/Cypress Hills Street.
The supermarket is open until midnight, so you are probably safe until
then. I have heard that in several years no one has ever gotten a
ticket or towed for parking there but, of course, you do so at your own
risk.
