To Stay
The Carlyle Hotel is a landmark destination for the glamorous, rich, and powerful jetset who appreciate art, luxury, old-world charm, and sophistication. For an updated take on classic luxury, The Mark boasts interiors by Jacques Grange, a Frederic Fekkai salon, and a Jean Georges restaurant. Trendier fashionistas flock downtown to The Bowery Hotel, a grungy-glamorous haven for music, movie, and fashion stars like Kate Moss and Jennifer Lopez, and The Standard, hotelier Andre Balaz’s newly opened tower of sleek luxury in the Meatpacking District. Another popular favourite, The Soho House, is a low-key sanctuary for celebs who love the dim lounge/bar/resto club room and rooftop pool while guests at The Gramercy Park Hotel enjoy a decidedly more decadent glamour and aesthetic in their rooms and the charming ambiance of a Viennese teahouse in the terrace restaurant. The Crosby Street Hotel in Soho is also popular with celebs, as is the Soho Grand, the Mercer and Robert de Niro’s Greenwich Hotel in Tribeca.
Lunch
Near the Tents: ‘Wichcraft Lincoln Center for delicious sandwiches on-the-go between shows, Fred’s at Barneys for a glamorous power lunch (try the chicken salad), Pastis or the Standard Grill for classic bistro favourites like steak frites and Café Gitane when keeping it cool in Nolita. For power-players in the fashion game, Le Caprice at the Pierre is the high-end bistro of choice for a certain Vogue editor-in-chief, while her minions might be seen trying to get a seat at David Cheng’s newest momofuku venture, Ma Peche.

Dinner
Heavy hitters, including Anna Wintour and the requisite smattering of celebrities, are regulars at hotspots like Waverly Inn, Minetta Tavern, The Lion, Monkey Bar, Da Silvano, and Bar Pitti. Slightly more low-key but tres chic amongst downtown stylists, models, photogs, and the like are Lovely Day, Freemans, Fat Radish, Emporio, Blue Hill, Lucky Strike, Beauty and Essex, and Blue Ribbon. Omen is the zen-mecca noodle bar that Lou Reed and Mick Jagger like to eat at in West Soho.

Cocktails
The Breslin at Ace Hotel has a swingin’ singles bar scene and hosts young, hip parties during fashion week while the scene in the lobby bar at The Bowery Hotel is much more low-key, hosting celebs and artists on the down-low drinking with friends by the fire. Uptown, Bemelmans Bar at the Carlyle Hotel is a favourite for expensive drinks, live piano and jazz music, and the beautiful hand-painted walls. Hockey player turned Vogue intern Sean Avery’s sports bar/tavern, Warren 77, in Tribeca is a handsome draw for dudes looking to catch the game or the ladies looking to hang with the dudes.

Nightspots
Boom Boom Room is still the place to see and be seen for the glitterati set while its grittier sister-club Le Bain is host to hipsters looking to spend less on cocktails while still impressing the models always on-hand. The Bunker Club, located in a subterranean vault in the Meatpacking District, boasts the only checkered dance floor in town and has been touted as the new Beatrice Inn (very cool). Nur Khan’s Rose Bar at Gramercy Park Hotel still plays host to models and bottles but the fashion crowd is more likely to be spotted at one of his downtown dance spots, like the freshly-minted and whitewashed Kenmare or the grimey ‘80s dive Don Hill’s. This Fashion Week, look out for French nightlife impresario Andre to open his hotly anticipated Chinatown club.
