During the hustle and bustle of NYFW, everyone could use a handy list of the buzziest spots to visit in town. We asked influencer and model Laura Jung where she eats, drinks, and shops throughout the week.
Favorite place for a morning coffee?
Because shows are all over the place, I grab coffee wherever I happen to be. I love Abraço, La Cabra, Devoción, Foreigner, and Café Integral.
Best cocktail spot?
Bar Pisellino is such a vibe, and the interior is both sexy and charming at the same time. They have so many kinds of Negronis and an extensive outdoor seating area for a moment of rest during the crazy week.
Best shopping for last-minute wardrobe needs?
I recently discovered James Veloria. It’s a gem on East Broadway filled with the most insane curation of vintage and pre-loved items.
Your secret fashion week hangout?
My apartment or hotel room. Seriously, savor the moments between shows in the comfort of your own home! So underrated.
Best place for a quick bite?
Nish Nush for falafel sandwiches near Spring Place, OCAFE for their little bowls and the best green smoothie, Manousheh for Lebanese flatbreads, and Daily Provisions for their sandwiches and crullers.
Favorite late-night restaurants?
The Odeon for classic French bistro food and a martini, Corner Bar for their simple pastas and cocktails, Wildair for their small bites and incredible wine list, and Thai Diner for the best Thai in a super lively space.
Fun activity to do when there’s downtime?
A museum day is always a nice moment for rest and quiet while still fueling the creative spirit of fashion week. The Whitney, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the New Museum are some of my favorites.
Best place to recover post-fashion week?
Reward yourself with a massage at Chinatown favorites like Renew Day Spa or Zu Yuan. Or if you’re feeling splurgy, book a spa day at Aire Ancient Baths.
