Accommodations are not included in the ticket price. The Tie has reserved a limited number of hotel room blocks in the North Fork. Hotel availability on the North Fork is extremely limited during the summer. We highly recommend that you book accommodations immediately as availability will drop and prices can rise. To ensure you don’t get closed out of accommodations, we recommend that you book your stay ASAP.

We will be offering transportation between the following hotels and the venue:

If you are interested in other options we recommend checking out the following hotels. Note that we will not have buses operating between these hotels and the venue so we recommend organizing a car rental or driver, as Uber and Taxi availability is limited.

Please Note: If guests need to cancel their reservation, please reach out to The Tie team (daryl@thetie.io) first so we can reassign your room, otherwise the room will be released back to the general inventory.

Coming from NYC

If you choose to take a bus, you should board the Riverhead line at one of the Jitney's pickup locations in Manhattan, such as 61st Street & 3rd Avenue or LIRR Station at 42nd Street. Once on board, the bus will take you directly to Riverhead, where you'll need to take a Uber/Lyft for a short drive (about 10-15 minutes) to your hotel.


If you choose to take the LIRR, board the Ronkonkoma Branch at Penn Station. Take the train towards Ronkonkoma and disembark at the Riverhead Station. Once you are at Riverhead you'll need to take a Uber/Lyft for a short drive (about 10-15 minutes) to your hotel.

Check the LIRR website for train times and options.
