The perfect summer day trip in NYC ☀️

There’s nothing I love more than Summer in NYC. Just walking around the city gives you dopamine, and everyone just has good vibes. Whenever I have visitors, here’s exactly where I take them:

- Coffee Mug Coffee: my favorite seasonal flavored coffee, it’s strong, and there’s seating or you can do a grab-n-goCopper Mug Coffee

- Walk the High Line: there’s nothing better than walking 20+ blocks without having to dodge cars/traffic on a sunny day. Then, end off your walk at Chelsea Market The High Line Chelsea Market

- LES: Dinner at NAKS — hands down the best Filipino food in NYC. Then, end off the night bar hopping in the Lower East Side. There is no other district in the city that does this better! Naks Lower East Side
