Essentials

What to Pack

Pack versatile, stylish outfits that transition seamlessly from day exploring to night partying—think chic day dresses that pair with statement heels and jackets for evening venues. NYC's autumn and spring weather can be unpredictable, so bring layers and comfortable walking shoes for daytime adventures before you trade them for dancing shoes. Don't forget sunglasses for rooftop bars, a small clutch for night venues, and sunscreen for those Central Park moments between festivities.
