Whether you were thinking of moving to NYC, planning a visit or just curious about what it's like for a family of 4 to live in NYC, I have loved getting to connect with you through the Coming to NYC podcast and Instagram page!

But now it's time to meet IRL in the city we all love.

The Coming to NYC Girls' Trip is officially happening and I want you to come! Join me October 8-12, 2026 for an incredible weekend filled with "off the beaten path" NYC adventures, new friends, great food and tons of laughs.

What To Expect

Great People

Spend time with Katie and other podcast listeners who, like you, are fascinated by NYC.

Great Adventures

Explore parts of NYC that may not have been on your itinerary during previous visits.

Great Food

One of the best ways to experience NYC is through food, so we have some awesome spots lined up.

Great Travel

We've taken care of all the details so you don't have to worry or stress at all during this fun-filled weekend!

Where We're Staying

We love a hotel that combines history, charm & comfort so we're staying at the fabulous Box House Hotel in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. The Box House Hotel was originally a 19th century manufacturing warehouse before being meticulously restored into a boutique hotel. Its conversion preserves Greenpoint’s industrial history, maintaining elements like thick brick walls, refinished factory hardwood floors, and exposed architectural bones.

What We're Doing

Each day will bring a good mix of action & leisure. We'll be visiting neighborhoods like Astoria, Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Seaport and even meeting a few of our favorite podcast guests along the way. There will be a good amount of walking involved but there will also be plenty of time for casual shopping, cool photo ops, relaxed meals and "choose your own adventure" moments. Plus, the weather in October should be great so we'll enjoy plenty of outdoor time.

A Note From Your Host:

I am really looking forward to girls' weekend and sincerely hope you can join us! I can't wait to show you some of my favorite places (including my neighborhood in Brooklyn) and introduce you to some of my favorite people (including some former podcast guests). Whether you're traveling with someone you already know or you're coming by yourself, we are all part of the CTNYC family and will have such a great time exploring this incredible city together. Plus, it will be October in NYC which means the vibes will be immaculate!

I'm so excited to spend the weekend exploring NYC, sharing some of my favorite places, enjoying great food, making new memories, and laughing together along the way. See you soon! ~Katie
