the sea of
Instagram locations tagged by Ganni-endorsed fashionistas, it
can be hard to choose where to best invest your time during
New York Fashion Week. Our pick of cafés, hotel lounges, bars
and even workout classes will have you sorted for a week of
peacocking and people watching in the Big Apple.
TO EAT

La Colombe Noho

Gemma
restaurant
Café Cluny
New York, United States
A West Village favourite, this laid-back French bistro does
casual-chic brunch just right. On the corner of West 12th and West
4th, it’s right by a slew of adorable boutiques (Want Les
Essentiels is just a few steps away), making it a great jumping-off
point for a day of window shopping. Everything on the menu – from
the stracciatella tartine to the brioche French toast – is
excellent. Come for the homemade granola, stay for Emma Stone and
Chloe Sevigny lookalikes on either side of your table.
restaurant
Carbone
New York, United States
For an undeniably “extra” dinner that’s a favourite among the
Jenner-Hadid clique, book (as far in advance as possible) into
Carbone. Piled-high plates of delightful fresh pasta and rich red
wine is served in a chic Italian bistro setting, and the eye candy
makes the experience all the more enjoyable. Expect to see tables
of socialites dressed in head-to-toe Gucci and celebs playing it
cool at corner tables.
TO DRINK + DANCE
bar
Rose Bar at Gramercy Park Hotel
New York, United States
For a fun Tuesday or Thursday evening, check out Rose Bar’s jazz
nights. The bar is all about glitz and glamour, so it’s the perfect
excuse to throw on your more outrageous party dress and sky-high
heels. Order a martini from the George Clooney-lookalike bartenders
before dancing to the band of the night’s tunes. Fashion week
parties typically book out rooms upstairs for private events, so if
you’re not already on the list for an after-hours soiree, befriend
your neighbours at the table next to yours to score an invite.
bar
Socialista
New York, United States
If you’re on the hunt for a models-only hangout, look no
further. Housed above Cipriani’s in SoHo, this bar is designed like
a chic pre-Revolution Cuban home, kitted out with everything from
velvet chaises to banana trees. Since Bella and Kendall will most
likely be chit-chatting over Cuba Libres inside, make sure you pull
out all the stops when dressing up before taking on the tough front
door staff.

bar
The Blond
New York, United States
Despite opening a few years ago, The Blond has managed to
maintain its hype among New York’s movers and shakers. An anomaly
amid a sea of other shooting-star venues that quickly fizzle out,
this sleek spot at the 11 Howard Hotel continues to draw in models
and moguls every night. Come fashion week, it’s a complete blow-out
– expect to bump into everyone you know who’s in the city. Grab a
Moscow Mule and sidle up to the DJ booth alongside friends old and
new.
