My experience
This is Rachana's own 8-day itinerary for Usa East Coast, USA — the version she'd plan for a close friend. It threads together stays she rates like Options and The Moxy NYC Chelsea, a day-by-day plan, and the meals worth booking ahead. Everything here is personally travelled and curated — no filler.
