Hello IstiyakDhamha, and welcome to the forum.

Let's assume the reference date is 20 June 2017.

If you went to New York on 13 June 2017, say "I went to New York a week before."
If you went to New York on 27 June 2017, say "I went to New York a week after."

If you meant something else, post below.
