About Me

There’s no place like New York City. Whether you’re walking through Central Park in the fall, watching a Broadway show, shopping in SoHo, or exploring hidden spots in Brooklyn, this city offers something for everyone. After living in NYC for several years, I know the rhythm of the neighborhoods, the energy of each season, and the small details that can make your visit unforgettable.

As a travel advisor who specializes in New York City, I help clients experience the best of the city with personalized planning, trusted local connections, and thoughtful recommendations that go far beyond the basics.

What I Offer as a New York City

Travel Specialist:First-Time NYC Trips: I help first-time visitors make the most of their time with curated itineraries that balance iconic sights like the Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, and Times Square with authentic local experiences.

Family-Friendly NYC: From kid-friendly museums and Broadway shows to park picnics and interactive tours, I plan trips that keep all ages engaged and entertained. I also help with stroller-friendly routes, dining options, and hotel selections that work well for families.

Luxury New York Experiences: I work with 5-star hotels, private guides, and VIP experiences to give you access to NYC at the highest level. This can include fine dining reservations, private museum tours, shopping appointments, or exclusive entertainment experiences.

Hidden Gems & Local Favorites: As someone who’s lived in the city, I know the neighborhoods tourists often miss… and the best bagel shops, rooftop views, walking tours, and seasonal events worth your time. I help you feel like a local, not just a visitor.

Group & Celebration Trips: Whether you're planning a girls’ weekend, a birthday trip, or a corporate retreat, I take care of logistics and help you build a group itinerary that runs smoothly and fits your budget.

Business Travel Support: I also assist business travelers who are heading to New York for meetings, conferences, or industry events. I’ll help you find well-located accommodations close to your work commitments, build in convenient downtime, and offer restaurant recommendations, transportation options, and flexible planning support. If you're extending your trip for leisure, I can turn your work travel into a balanced bleisure experience that includes relaxation or sightseeing.

Hamptons Day Trips & Weekend Escapes: For those looking to get out of the city, I also plan day trips and weekend getaways to the Hamptons. Whether you're after a relaxing beach day in Montauk, a wine tasting tour in North Fork, or boutique shopping in East Hampton, I can arrange round-trip transportation, dining reservations, and curated experiences that give you a taste of this iconic New York escape. Ideal for couples, small groups, and families wanting a quick break from the city or a summer add-on to their NYC itinerary.

Popular NYC Experiences I Can Help Plan: Broadway tickets and behind-the-scenes tours, Helicopter rides over Manhattan, Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island visits, Museum admissions and private guides (The Met, MoMA, 9/11 Memorial, etc.), Central Park bike rentals, Iconic neighborhoods like SoHo, Greenwich Village, Williamsburg, and the Upper West Side, Seasonal events like the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade, or Christmas markets, Food tours, rooftop bars, and restaurant reservations, Walking and subway orientation tours for new visitors, Hotel bookings for business travelers in Midtown, Downtown, or near major event venues like the Javits Center, Private or small group day trips to the Hamptons, North Fork wine country, or beach towns along Long Island

New York City is fast-paced, exciting, and full of choices… which can also make it overwhelming to plan. That’s where I come in. With years of firsthand experience living in NYC, I offer practical advice, curated experiences, and local insight that guidebooks can’t match.

I help you choose the right neighborhood to stay in based on your interests, arrange transportation that saves you time and stress, and build daily itineraries that are realistic, not rushed. I also stay up to date on new hotel openings, pop-up events, seasonal activities, and neighborhood changes so you can enjoy the most current version of the city.

My goal is to help you enjoy the magic of New York without the planning headaches. Whether you're visiting for a special occasion or simply want to explore the city in a deeper, more meaningful way, I’ll make sure your trip reflects your style, your pace, and your priorities.

My first solo trip!!
Reviewed By Luke - Laguna Beach, CA | Traveled to Portugal | Europe
Cortnee made my first solo trip so easy and fun. I went to Portugal and Spain and everything from hotels to getting around was taken care of, which let me really enjoy exploring on my own. She helped me tag this trip onto a destination wedding I was attending and she organized it well. I got to see so much of both countries and had an amazing time thanks to Cortnee
