The Best Staycation Spots in NYC This Winter

Updated: Feb 2, 2021

Vacations are a part of my self-care. I need time away from my regular routine to stop, relax, and check-in with myself uninterrupted from the noise of my daily life. I need my adventure side stimulated exploring places in a new setting.


Before the pandemic, I was never really fond of the idea of staycations. Why would I pay money to stay in a hotel in my local area and do tourist things as if I don't live here? Time off when I'm home never truly feels like a vacation but a time to catch up on chores and errands. The pandemic definitely made me look at staycations from a different lens. I had to get creative this summer and explore my city to keep myself entertained. With no tourist in the city, it made discovering NYC way more easier and enjoyable than it would've been any other time.


The same goes for hotels in the city. Rates for hotels are at an all-time low making now the best time to take a getaway in your own backyard. I did a staycation in Brooklyn for my birthday weekend and it truly felt like I was in another city. Staycations are what you make of them and can be as carefree or busy as you want them to be. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end and hotels will be raising their prices soon in anticipation of the upcoming travel season.
