During a recent trip to New York, I decided to stay on the Lower East Side to experience the mix of all the city has to offer. I chose to stay at Kasa Lantern since it just opened and offers amenities for longer stays. The virtual check-in was a breeze and the kitchen was definitely a plus! It's in a vibrant neighborhood with many stores so it was convenient for me to stock up on essentials or have a meal out nearby. The nearest subway is only two blocks away, so a trip to Midtown was an easy 20 minutes via the F train. I look forward to staying here again for a longer trip, since it felt like a home-stay and was clean + convenient!
