The New York City Marathon is one of the great events to take place in New York City every year. This year’s marathon is on November 4th and as always travels through all 5 boroughs. As a runner, a spectator or an event organizer it is important to book an accommodation in New York for this event as early as possible, but New York Habitat has new availabilities cropping up every day as our owners schedules change.
The housing options:
The marathon’s length enables it to travel throughout the cities five boroughs (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx and Staten Island), which means that choosing an accommodation anywhere along the route can be convenient. As of today there are still limited choices available for rental during the marathon week. Apartment choices include:
· A Studio in apartment in the East Village (NY-4062) one subway stop from mile 12
· A Studio in Battery Park (NY-9990) a short walk from the Staten Island ferry which takes runners to the starting line
