'25 NYC Holiday Retreat

Retreat dates: December 9-12, 2025

New York City, NY

••••••••••

We invite you into wonder, meander, marinate, and delight in inspiration in every aspect. Sounds, smells, architecture, art, delicious food, beauty-filled spaces and places.

New York City is magical at Christmas. Iconic, nostalgic, heart-warming, energizing, buzzing with Christmas spirit…..everyone is pouring out their best in this season. Regardless of your callings, gifts, and passions—-NYC will infuse you with creative inspiration, and spur you on in your purpose after spending a few days there.

Join us as we share some of our favorite spots of inspiration; which will include shops, parks, cafes, restaurants, and special experiences that aren’t on the list of tourist attractions. We’ll meander some of our favorite neighborhoods, the gritty and the shiny, the busy and the quiet. It will be an honor to share this special city with you through our eyes, it holds a near and dear place in our hearts. We’ve curated four days of beauty chasing, in hopes to give you a taste of the city that you’ve not experienced, even if you’ve visited before—-and infuse you with holiday spirit!

Housed in a beautiful boutique hotel in NoMad we will awake each morning to take off on a new adventure in a different area. Whether gathering under the Rockefeller tree, meandering down streets and in shops, or savoring great food and atmospheres at incredible restaurants…you will be filled to overflowing with the gems this magnificent city has to offer.

On The Cottage Table Experience NYC Holiday Retreat you are not a tourist; as you will experience NYC as the locals do. We seek to be beauty chasers and intentionally savor meals, moments, and people wherever we find ourselves. Will you join us at the table in NYC?

Come with us to be energized and inspired as only you can be in NYC.
