Cheers for this recommendation, Avana. We ended up going with this place. Very cheap, and you don't even have to pay until you arrive on their doorstep, which my bank balance is eternally grateful for.

FYI, this is the case with most US hotels, so long as you're not using travel sites to make the booking. I never use them to book hotels, for this reason.

Cool! I live near that neighborhood actually. There are some really cool places around that area (Morgantown) these days - I'm sure you'll find that out pretty quickly, but if you need any more recommendations, let me know.

Roberta's (pizza place that hosts a lot of parties, incl. a disco party every other sunday)
Life Cafe (healthy and hearty food, free delivery, $10 minimum)
The Morgan (new swanky restaurant that hosts some parties)
The Narrows (swankier bar)
Brooklyn Fireproof (bar with outdoor courtyard)
Guacuco (arepas)
Momo Sushi Shack
Pine Box Rock Shop (vegan cafe/bar, ex-coffin factory)
Wreck Room (big dive bar, with weird food menu, basically pseudo gourmet rice balls)
