13 Exotic NFL Draft Locations That Could Inspire Your Spring 2026 Travel
2. New York City — Classic Draft Vibes and Fan Culture

New York set the standard for draft weekends for many years, offering iconic venues, dense transit, and cultural attractions that make long trips feel efficient. Choose a base in Midtown for quick access to venues and hotels, or opt for a neighborhood with more local character—Chelsea or the West Village—if you prefer quieter evenings. Museums, Broadway shows, and diverse dining options give you plenty to fill non-event hours without backtracking across the city.
