I’m officially back from attending my 2nd New York Fashion Week and reality is a harsh wake up call! I had such an amazing time, learned SO much more than last year, and have a few different blog posts planned to share my complete experience with you! I’m starting out today’s blog post with a New York City Guide: where to stay, the best places to eat, and the ideal shopping!

WHERE TO STAY
I’ve now been to New York City a handful of times, and from my experience, I LOVED where I stayed this year the best: Nomo Soho! It was centrally located in Manhattan to everywhere I needed to be, wasn’t filled with tourists, and was beautiful. A few other recommendations of great hotels that I’ve heard amazing things about are:
- The Standard, High Line
- The Ludlow
- Waldorf Astoria
- Dream Hotel
- Omni Berkshire
- The Beekman (stayed here during my NYC trip with Propel)
WHERE TO SHOP
- This trip I shopped in the Soho area which is so charming with little cobblestone streets. There are a lot of designer shops in this year but also some more affordable ones too!
- Last time I shopped around 5th Avenue and it was SO crowded, touristy, and overwhelming. There are lots of stores like H&M, GAP, Zara, etc.
Have you been to New York City before?! It’s such a crazy and exhilarating city and is such a great place to visit 🙂 What’s your favorite thing to do, see, or place to eat in NYC?! Stay tuned for more NYFW (New York Fashion Wee) posts coming…
