Lyon Porter and Jersey Banks opened the Urban Cowboy Brooklyn in 2014. What started as a passion project became a much-needed antidote to the mind-numbing pace of Manhattan. Soon their home became a staple of Brooklyn culture. A place where big ideas went to grow and life-long friends were made. "The Cowboy" evolved into a community of travelers and artists, coming from all over the world, responding to the rumors of such a magical place.

Gatherings

As the leaves start to change (in our minds at least), we look forward to cozy nights in, holiday parties and ending the year on a strong note with our teams. You’re (hopefully) planning your company’s holiday party in Brooklyn for that unmistakable cool factor of exposed brick, industrial flair and that old-meets-new je ne sais quoi that can only be found in this distinct borough of NYC. Come along as we explore industrial warehouses from a bygone era, the hippest hotels with the coolest spaces, intimate and glowing restaurants, and everything in between – all party perfect for your company this holiday season. A word of caution: these venues will go fast, so keep this list locked away in a private Slack channel and book yours ASAP.

With the best street art, pizza parlors, artisan shops, rooftops, brunch spots and local music scene, it’s easy to see why *some* people think Brooklyn is the best (nay, the only) borough. While we won’t duke it out over which pizza shop has the best grandma slice or which neighborhood has changed the most in the last decade (fighting back opinions here, y'all), what we can tell you is that there’s a ton to do and see in Williamsburg alone, not to mention the rest of Brooklyn.
If you’re coming here with a group of friends and looking to stay at a towering townhouse in Williamsburg or a cushy hotel in Dumbo, we got you. Trying to find a brunch spot that stands out from the rest? We’ve got that too. Come along as we explore a little slice of Brooklyn in the summertime.

Travel

Saddle up, swarthy adventure seekers and dust off your boots! When you arrive at this diamond in the wilds of Williamsburg, you will discover a veritable love letter to the old West as told by the most ruggedly posh of urban cowboys. By day, owner Lyon Porter, is the Director of Sales for a Manhattan-based real estate company, and by night a self-confessed innkeeper “cowboy.” Porter bought this property a little over a year ago with the intention of renovating and turning it into a series of apartments. Yet, something happened on a surf trip to Nicaragua. It changed him in a way that only travel can and in lieu of the big paycheck, he followed his east coast heart on the dusty trail west, while keeping his spurs firmly planted in the Big Apple.
He speaks lovingly of the Williamsburg of yore, yes much like the Old West when trains didn’t run on schedule, shootouts were common and ahem, ladies of the night set up shop on every corner. While there are plenty of developments in progress nowadays as well as extremely lovely and posh boutique hotels setting up shop, there is nothing quite like living the Cowboy Way at Urban Cowboy, a Brooklyn Bed & Breakfast.
HOW WILL MY GUESTS GET HERE? Out-of-towners can fly into either La Guardia or JFK and take a bus or subway, local city dwellers can take the L-train.
