New York’s narrows, the strip of water in New York Bay that separates Brooklyn from Staten Island, serves as both the inlet to New York’s harbors and the outlet for the Hudson River. Until 1964 and the construction of the 13,700-foot Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, residents had to use ferries to cross the strait. Today, several hotels offer accommodations near this historic and scenic region of New York City.
The Best Western Gregory Hotel is located one mile from the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. Other attractions within five miles include Brooklyn College, Brooklyn Institute of Music, Fort Hamilton Army Base, Maimonides Medical Center and Brooklyn Center of the Performing Arts.
