Welcome to Season 3! In this first travel talk of the year, Ava Beilke shares her recent trip to Soho, New York City. Objectively one of the best and biggest cities in the world, New York City has more of everything, including shopping.

Ava’s stay in Soho confirms that S is for shopping and shopping is for Soho. She provides a rundown of the shopping scene, where you’ll find every store imaginable, and discusses the pros and cons of shopping in-person.

In the spirit of taking the pressure off, Ava skips the Michelin-starred French cuisine in favor of more approachable options, and suggests a handful of great casual dining spots perfect for solo dining in NYC.

The host also shares her journey of getting a tattoo from Girl Knew York (reason of trip!), and wraps up with helpful tips for first-time visitors to New York City.
