New York City Essentials
Planning to move to New York City? Here are a few items that I have used frequently during my almost decade of living here.
Recycling is a big deal. This kitchen bin makes it easier to keep the categories separated so I can just drop the items in their respective bins at the trash chute on my floor. I like the size. It's compact.
The Repel umbrella is unmatched. NYC can get a bit windy, and I've had other umbrellas flip inside out on me. Once I was gifted a Repel, I've always been covered. The only reason that I've had two is because I accidentally left the first one in the w...
A canvas tote is a staple that many people carry in the city. I rotate my everyday tote annually. It's spacious enough to store random freebies that you get from brands, carry items from small grocery runs and carry a pair of shoes.
In honor of my Grandmama, I support her beloved Brooklyn borough by attending the occasional the Nets game. This pullover is my fashionable go to item that I wear.
The perfect BPA free water bottle for the gym or when I'm gonna be out running errands for long periods of time.
Our WNBA team is top tier. I always support when my schedule permits. The games are so much fun, and our mascot Ellie is hilarious. This pullover is just the best.
This app is my trusted guide. I use it daily to time my travel schedule to appointments, know when to avoid certain routes and get my bearings in unfamiliar parts of the city.
Our NWSL club are the reigning champions. I love to cheer them on in person or at home with my supporter kit.

Move over NYC Granny cart! This Hulken bag is the more fashionable way NYC girlies are transporting their larger grocery, laundry and sample sale hauls to their homes. The wheels are small and sturdy. The double straps allow you to carry it as a tote...
Although I don't have my music playing while I'm on the subway as a way to remain vigilant in my surroundings, I do keep them in as a way to pretend that I am not giving attention to distracting individuals. These Sony Earbuds are work great when I u...
The staple NY baseball cap goes perfect with every quick errand outfit or simply to show your support for one of the home sports teams.
These Gel Kayano's are my go to shoe around the city for runs, long walks and quick errands. You'll get your steps in the city so a reliable sneaker is a must.
Whenever I attend games at Madison Square Gardens, I pull out my latest Knicks jersey.
After pivoting from my FitBit, I upgraded to an Apple Watch. I absolutely love all of the biometric data that it provides.
I rep NYCFC so I make sure to always have my current season jersey ready to go.
