From Broadway shows to world-class dining and shopping, New York City offers something for everyone. When packing for the trip, limit the number of bags you bring along. When you call on a car service, this will leave enough room in the trunk to accommodate everyone’s luggage and the souvenirs you get during the Big Apple excursion. Follow the tips below to avoid overpacking.

How to Pack Light for Your NYC Travels 

1. Leave Bulky Clothes at Home

So you know what types of clothing to pack, look at the New York City weather report for the week of your trip. To stay comfortable in cooler temperatures, pack a few long-sleeve shirts made of cotton, polyester, and other lightweight fabrics. These materials will take up less room in a suitcase when compared to bulky wool sweaters and puffy fleece jackets. You can add or take off layers as needed.

2. Choose Shoes That Can Be Worn for Multiple Occasions 

Taking your entire shoe collection with you is the quickest way to weigh down a suitcase and leave little room for other luggage inside the car service provider’s vehicle.

When choosing shoes, select a pair that can transition from day to evening. A flat shoe with a sturdy sole and plenty of interior padding will provide support to prevent foot fatigue while walking around sightseeing during the day. An interesting color or pattern will help the footwear complete an outfit when you go to dinner or do other activities at night.   

3. Get Toiletries When You Arrive

Instead of bringing full-size bottles of hair care products and body washes with you, pick up travel-size versions at a pharmacy or corner store when you get to NYC. This will leave room in the mesh compartments of your suitcase for souvenirs and other new purchases.
