The Ultimate NYC Girls’ Trip Itinerary: Glam, Sips & Skyline Views
Planning a girls’ getaway to New York City? You’ve picked the perfect place. Whether you're celebrating a birthday, bachelorette, or just need a stylish weekend escape with your favorite ladies, NYC offers the perfect mix of glitz, indulgence, and unforgettable memories. From rooftop cocktails to decadent high tea, here’s your go-to itinerary featuring some of our favorite places for the best girls’ trip in the Big Apple.
Sophisticated Sips at Apotheke
Kick things off with cocktails that are as much art as they are alcohol. Nestled in Chinatown and Midtown, Apotheke is a speakeasy-style bar known for its apothecary theme and mixology wizardry. Drinks are made with exotic botanicals and ingredients that sound like they belong in a potion, not a cocktail shaker. The ambiance is moody and chic, and the views are impeccable. It’s the perfect elevated bar for a glamorous start to your night out or a nightcap on a low key evening.
Dinner Views at STK Steakhouse
After drinks, head to STK Steakhouse for dinner. This is not your typical steakhouse. Think high-energy vibes, a trendy crowd, and a DJ spinning while you sip martinis and share truffle fries - the ultimate girl dinner! The food is absolutely delicious, and the sleek decor makes it feel like you're dining in a fashion-forward dream. NYC also has a rooftop bar and dining experience in the Meatpacking District if you’re looking for a Summer hotspot.
Post-Dinner Views at Magic Hour Rooftop Bar & Lounge
Magic Hour is a rooftop bar perched atop the Moxy Hotel in Times Square. The vibe here is whimsical and flirty, with rotating seasonal decor (think: pink carousels in spring, haunted rooftops in fall). It’s one of the most Instagrammable spots in NYC, with skyline views to match. Sip rosé or a signature cocktail (of which there are many) while soaking in the city lights. Magic Hour is great for happy hour, post dinner cocktails or late night drinks with the girls!
Elegant Afternoon Tea at Oscar Wilde
Before you dive into another night out, take some downtime with a twist of opulence at the fun and quirky, Oscar Wilde, a bar and restaurant dripping in Victorian elegance. Their high tea is one of NYC’s best-kept secrets - think towers of finger sandwiches, scones, pastries, and beautifully brewed teas (or champagne, if you're feeling festive). The decor alone is worth the visit. It’s the perfect midday reset for glam girls on the go and a cute, photo worthy activity.
End on a High Note at PHD Rooftop Lounge
Cap off your NYC girls’ trip with a bang at PHD Rooftop Lounge in the Dream Downtown hotel. With its panoramic views of Manhattan, velvet rope energy, and upbeat vibe, it’s a go-to for dancing under the stars. It's glitzy, it's loud, it's fun, and exactly how a girls' trip should end.
