The Kansas City Chiefs star opened up about how he spent his week off during the latest episode of \u201cNew Heights,\u201d the podcast he co-hosts with his brother, Jason Kelce.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Travis Kelce Shares Details About His New York City Getaway<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Kelce didn\u2019t hold back when describing how much he enjoyed his brief break from football. \u201cI got a little bit out of the house, went to New York,\u201d he said. \u201cJust hung out, man, put the feet up. Saw some cool places, ate some great food. Got to feel the big city and its electricity, and its buzz that <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">it\u2019s always got<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. Yeah, it\u2019s my favorite time right now, as the seasons are changing, to be around the Midwest and the Northeast. And, yeah, it was pretty fun.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Chiefs\u2019<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> tight end said he took the <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">opportunity to catch up with friends and soak in the<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> city\u2019s energy. \u201cThere\u2019s a picture of me at Puffy\u2019s Tavern saying what\u2019s up to a couple <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">guys<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">,\u201d he added. \u201cMet my guy Summit out for a drink, met some new friends. Got some new friends that I know out in New York.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">For Kelce, now in his 13th NFL season, the time away from Arrowhead Stadium was much-needed. \u201cYou get so ingrained in the routine of things,\u201d he told Jason. \u201cYour days <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">are set<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, your schedules <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">are set<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> during the season, and the bye week is just that. If you\u2019re fortunate enough to come out healthy, you can get away. I like to get away and recharge.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">He continued, \u201cNot everybody has the same feeling \u2014 some guys have families and stay in town. But I like to get away, recharge, see something else, feel like I\u2019m somewhere else, and kind of just shut it down.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Taylor Swift Dubbed a \u2018Legend\u2019 On a Night Out With the Chiefs Super Star TE<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">While Kelce kept things low-key on his podcast, fans got a glimpse of how the NFL star spent some of his downtime with his fianc\u00e9e Swift in Manhattan.
