Nothing sums up NYFW better than Lady Gaga’s famous quote. Show after show, review after review, party after party—there’s always somewhere to go next, something to do in between, and work to catch up on later. In case you’re looking for more plans: It’ll be a busy weekend between Highsnobiety’s celebration of True Religion’s 21st birthday on September 9 and SSENSE’s soirée in partnership with Jean Paul Gaultier and KNWLS on September 10. The London-based brand Poster Girl will be hosting a NYFW kick-off party on September 7, hosted by City Girls’s JT, and, the evening before that, Mary J. Blige will touch down for a celebration of MCM’s “past and present.” Christopher John Rogers is not on the schedule this season, but he will be throwing a party with Farrow and Ball in honor of their paint collaboration, and J.Crew is putting on a concert for its 40th anniversary featuring none other than The Strokes. Linda Evangelista is double-booked at NYFW, signing copies of her book with Steven Meisel at Bookmarc on September 7, and co-hosting Phaidon’s 100th anniversary party with Thom Browne—who has his own monograph out with the publisher this October—on September 6. But just like last year, the party of the season will be Vogue World, this time happening in London on September 14.—JCU
From Downtown to Up, the Top Restaurants to Check Out During NYFW

Because showgoers can’t live on Kind Bars and Juice Press smoothies alone, we’ve put together a few of our favorite places for a full meal. The top spot on our list is Raf’s, that is, if you can secure a reservation. If you are one of the lucky few who got off the eternally long waitlist on Resy, try the fluke crudo and rigatoni, although you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Jennifer and Nicole Vitagliano, who hail from New Jersey, use the freshest local produce for all of their delicious entrees and drinks. Next on our list is Casino, a place you’ve probably seen all over Instagram. With an endless list of drink options, flavorful seafood dishes like the pasta with clams, and a dimly-lit interior, you can’t go wrong at this buzzy LES spot. For those who don’t have time for a sit-down, Casino’s Dimes Square sister restaurant Casetta is a sandwich spot by-day, making it easy to grab some food and quickly head out. Over in Nolita is Lovely Day, which has been a hotspot since the early 2000s and is still a go-to for fashion people like Vogue’s street style photographer Phil Oh and Paloma Elsesser. It’s the best place for no-fuss Thai food. Another must-try is the vegetarian newcomer Superiority Burger. The East Village joint is so hip it got a GQ Hype cover in April. Finally, with Ralph Lauren back on the calendar, a trip to the Polo Bar is in order. You can’t go wrong with the classic Polo Burger and you may even get a rare Ralph sighting amidst all the other celebrities.—Irene Kim
