WHAT OUR GUESTS ARE SAYING:

The trip was perfect, my mom and I loved how everything was planned to the smallest detail and to the second. Every experience we had was amazing, all of the restaurant choices were magnificent as well. Really having you plan this trip was the best decision I could have taken!

MEET LORA

Meet my friend Lora, founder of Beyond the Square. Lora is a professional travel planner whose passion for New York City is unmatched by anyone other than me! Lora has planned all types of trips to New York City over the years: trips for families with young children or with older kids who are considering college in the city, birthday celebrations, honeymoons, and even single-day layover visits. She’s super friendly and a great communicator. I love working with her and I know you will too.

We offer three tiers of services depending on how hands-on you’d like the planning. Want a simple conversation with an NYC expert to get a better idea of what you should do based on your interests? We can do that. Or maybe you’d like a completely planned and booked trip hour-by-hour?
