It's a quick transition from the lax days of summer to the non-stop schedule of NYFW. Managing a day’s worth of presentations and events can be stressful, but choosing somewhere to grab a bite should not. Consult our map for meals, cocktails and hangouts all over the city, highlighting limited-run pop-ups, classic favorites and brand new spots opening just in time for Fashion Week.


Casa Violeta at The Fat Radish
Fashion favorite Casa Violeta brings tropical vibes to LES, taking over The Fat Radish from September 6th through September 8th. Expect chef Alex Sala’s Italian and Mexican-inspired cuisine as the beachside design transports you to Tulum.

Chinese Tuxedo and Peachy’s
Chinatown hotspot Chinese Tuxedo has always been a draw for its The New York Times two-star rating and former opera house digs. Now, guests can get their cocktail (and Instagram) fix at Peachy’s, the downstairs bar that's complete with a two-part beverage menu and maximalist decor (think: neon pink signs against Gucci wallpaper).


Peachy's


Playboy Club New York
Close out NYFW at the city’s newest spot: Playboy Club New York. Located just north of Hudson Yards, the iconic brand’s multi-concept venue will host its opening party on Wednesday, September 12.
