NYC Girls Getaway

Written By Kayla Chance

There are so many travel guides out there on the best ways to experience New York City from a local’s perspective. While I may not be a local, I’ve seen 15+ hotels, know my way around the subway, and have curated my personal list of go-to places over the years. This would be my perfect NYC itinerary for a long girls’ weekend.
