Stay
Hyatt Place Chelsea
Motto Chelsea
I use Kindred to help me rent an apartment and live like a New Yorker. It’s a home swapping app so you have to be open to listing your place for someone to stay too, but the more people you host, the more credits you get. It’s high stakes because we all care about our homes but makes traveling so much more affordable. Check Kindred out with the code IVE.MOR (my mom lol).
I don’t really shop while I’m here but I love walking around SoHo and West Village window shopping. Also definitely stop by Pickle to rent a fabulous outfit if you’re trying to pack light. Use my code Kayla20 for $20 off your first rental here!
PSA: I don’t make money off these codes but I do get some small benefits

A little sneak peak of my city uniform too!
I hope you enjoy your time in one of my fave cities, see you soon NYC!
Thanks for reading!
Talk soon,
Kayla
