3-Day NYC Itinerary

Experience New York City like an editor—not a tourist. This 3-day itinerary is designed for the modern traveler who values beauty, intentionality, and cultural depth. Whether it’s your first visit or your fifth, this guide takes you beyond the basics with a perfectly paced blend of iconic moments and insider gems. Think rooftop cocktails in Williamsburg, gallery strolls in Chelsea, vintage browsing in SoHo, and dinner reservations that feel like secrets.

Each day is thoughtfully planned around walkable neighborhoods, stylish meals, and chic experiences—making the most of your time while still allowing for spontaneous magic. From morning coffees at design-forward cafés to golden-hour walks on the High Line and Broadway nights wrapped in velvet and martinis, this is New York curated with elegance.

Expect detailed recommendations for where to stay (across every budget), where to shop, what to see, and how to feel like you belong here—even if it’s just for 72 hours.
