Retreat dates: December 8-11, 2026
New York City, NY
••••••••••
A crisp breeze carries the scent of roasted chestnuts and coffee through the streets of Manhattan. The city hums with energy—leaves swirling down wide avenues, lights flickering on in shop windows as the sun dips behind skyscrapers. You wrap your scarf a little tighter and smile—because you’re not here to check off tourist stops. You’re here to experience New York City through the eyes of someone who loves it deeply.
This is your invitation to slow down and savor. To wander, wonder, and be wholly present in a city that never stops moving. With us, you’ll discover a different side of NYC—one that’s quietly magical and sparkling with nostalgia in the weeks leading up to Christmas, and pulsing with the creative spirit of a city giving its very best.
For four days, we’ll trace our favorite paths through this city—meandering from cozy cafés to independent bookstores, from tucked-away parks to iconic avenues. We’ll visit vibrant neighborhoods both gritty and polished, quiet corners that most pass by, and spaces that have inspired artists, writers, and dreamers for generations.
Each morning begins in a beautiful boutique hotel nestled in NoMad. From there, we set out—not in a rush, but with open eyes and hearts, chasing beauty in all its forms. We’ll share meals that linger and stories that stick. You’ll feel more like a local than a visitor, this is our favorite city in the U.S., and we would love to share it with you.
This is a deep breath in your year. It’s an experience of connection, creativity, and wonder that will leave you renewed and inspired long after you return home.
We’d love to save you a seat at our NYC table. Come chase beauty with us in our favorite city in the U.S.
You will be energized and inspired as only you can be in NYC.
