I recently spent a week in New York City on assignment for my job as a fashion editor.

(Read my articles from the trip here and here!)

New York is honestly one of those cities that I never tire of visiting. I always find comfort in visiting a few of my favourite haunts — and finding new favourites, too.

While I could gladly go back again and again, I did notice that I have a day limit on my time in NYC.

For me, six days in the Big Apple is the perfect amount (including travel days). It's enough time to see what I want to see, and not get tired of or overwhelmed by the sheer number of people crowding the streets.

I think that's one major reason why I typically stay in the Upper East Side where there seem to be fewer people. Don't get me wrong, I love the hustle and bustle of NYC, but sometimes, I just need a break from it.

With that said ... I can't wait to go back. ;)
