Mickey Boardman—Editor-At-Large, Paper Magazine

“My favorite spot at any time of year but especially during NYFW is Indochine. The atmosphere is so chic and the crowd is the most stylish in town!

I also love to do breakfast during fashion week at Balthazar. It’s so New York and I’m obsessed with their donuts.” @askmrmickey

Brandon Tan—Fashion Editor, GQ

“Fashion week is a complete whirlwind of shows, work, and social commitments. There are definitely a couple of spots that I rely on to get me through the madness. One of my favorites for refueling in between the office and Spring Studios is Gotan—a busy, but efficient, café offering light fare and caffeine. Perfect for a break before or after shows.

For a more social reunion that involves dinner, my go-to at any time of the year is Cervo’s, which boasts the most delicious seasonal menu of seafood and wines, paired with an ambiance perfectly placed at the intersection of elegant and casual.

Fanelli’s in SoHo is a classic and effortless scene to catch friends for a drink before heading to whatever party is happening downtown that evening.” @branduh

Dania Curvy—Managing Digital Editor, V Magazine

“Dante West Village is *actually* the perfect spot to grab a quick lunch. They have tons of gluten-free and dairy-free options which are essential for me.

[For a cocktail between shows], BABS is a great choice. I am a big fan of their wine selection, but their cocktails are also top-notch. Another option is a bit further from the shows. However, if I find myself on the east side this season, I will stop at Nine Orchard for their signature martinis. Its decor is cozy and offset with upbeat music to keep energy high.” @daniacurvy

Kendall Becker—Freelance Fashion Editor & Podcast Host 

“While shows and appointments remain priority during Fashion Week, social commitments take a high ranking on the agenda, too—and who can really complain about trying out fabulous places with quality company? For a power lunch, Three of Cups on Sullivan Street is just removed enough from the chaos for a relaxing moment to regroup while being incredibly convenient to downtown locations. I have a sweet spot for lobby bars so you’ll certainly catch me at The Roxy. And when it comes time to dance, I’m making new micro-club Outerheaven my go-to right now.” @kendall_becker
