Soho is one of Manhattan's cutest neighborhoods, and even for a local,
it's hard to resist a few hours of shopping.

Go: Where to go in New York City

My office is near one of my favorite spots in the city: Gramercy Square
Park. You have to have a key to get inside, but the little park is full of trees
and sculptures, and it’s surrounded by some of the city's most charming
apartment buildings. It doesn't hurt that it's easy to grab a drink or
coffee at the Gramercy Park Hotel on the corner, too.

Do: Activities around the city

New York City is full of fun things to do. On weekends when I have the
time, I'm a fan of planning a staycation. I pack a bag and spend the
night at a local hotel.

I like to play tourist and discover new shops as I stroll with a snack
(and camera) in hand.

Eat: Restaurants, cafes & bars

One of my favorite activities is grabbing a bite and taking coffee to go as
I walk through Nolita and the Lower East Side. My go-to order at Australian
Cafe Bluestone Lane is an oat milk cappuccino.

The 1 Hotel in Dumbo and the Bowery Hotel are two of my favorite
local getaways.
