Last week, I was in NYC for my first Fashion Week. It was cool because I was able to see a lot of the city during my five day trip. I’ve been to New York at least a dozen times. Some of my besties from high school and college have lived there over the years, so I always had excuses to go visit.
From reading the headline, you probably assumed I’d share a list of the places you must go. Well, that list is so dependent on your personality, what you like to do, whether you’ve been to New York before, etc. Instead, I wanted to talk about the experience of being in the city. My recent trip reminded me of all the little nuggets of inspiration that I can find, while enjoying the sights in New York, simply by looking a little closer.
So in order to truly see the unexpected sights of New York, you need to stop yourself. When we travel, we all need to slow down, look around, take in the energy, the people, the culture. When I walked from show to event to show, I took the time to gaze into store windows, stop and enjoy the beautiful street art I saw, and look up and appreciate the fantastic architecture around the city. Although the NYFW shows I saw were great, the real art, beauty, (and even fashion) I found while walking around.
P.S. if you’re in midtown, you MUST go to this pizza restaurant. It seriously brought me back to Italy – it tasted so authentic.
