NYC Style Guide: Fashion Insiders' Top Picks

New York City, a global fashion capital, offers a vibrant tapestry of experiences. Fashionista editors, a mix of long-time residents and newcomers, share their ultimate NYC recommendations.

Must-Try NYC Dishes

What to eat? The consensus? Bagels! From Sable's Smoked Fish (Upper East Side) to Ess-A-Bagel, and don't forget the classic NY pizza at Joe's Pizza. Beyond bagels and pizza, adventurous eaters should try a chopped cheese – a true bodega staple.

Where to Eat in NYC: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Lunch: Grab a turkey sandwich from Ground Support (Soho), a burger and milkshake at Harlem Shake, or comforting mac and cheese at Westville.

Dinner: Indulge in classic New York fare at Raoul's, pasta at Canto or Fumo, or enjoy a sophisticated meal at The Odeon. JG Melon offers a timeless burger experience.

NYC Staycation & Tourist Attractions

Staycation: For a luxurious escape, consider The Beekman or The Greenwich Hotel. For a more budget-friendly option, Hilton Inn is a solid choice.

Tourist Attractions: Catch a Broadway show (Wicked is a popular choice!), stroll through Central Park, and visit the American Museum of Natural History or The Met.

Shopping & Getting Around

Shopping: Explore Bergdorf Goodman for high-end fashion, Reclectic for discounted finds, or independent boutiques in the Lower East Side and Madison Avenue.

Getting Around: Citi Bikes are a convenient option, but for a stress-free experience, especially during Fashion Week, consider using a luxury chauffeur service like Blacklane.

Wellness & Day Trips

Wellness: Pamper yourself with a facial at Joanna Vargas, a massage at Spa Diane Barrière, or lymphatic drainage treatments at The Tox.

Day Trips: Escape the city bustle with a trip to Montauk, Cold Spring, or Greenport.
