With the biggest show on earth about to kick off across the pond we figured it was time for some New York action. Yesterday we showed you what Eleanor Strauss, Senior Fashion Editor of Lucky Magazine,has inside her handbag, today we’re showing you where she takes it. Welcome to her insiders guide to the most fashionable city on earth (this week, at least). It’s the next best thing to a plus one…

For the best cup of joe…

“Hidden in Chelsea Market is Ninth Street Espresso, for one of the best lattes you’ll find in New York. It’s also opposite Milk Studios so super-convenient.”

For after-show drinks…

“Soho House NYC – all the fashion editors inevitably end up here after a day of back-to-back shows. It’s always fun and the new makeover is so cool.”

For off-the-cuff eating…

“Extra Virgin is more of a personal favourite. It’s cosy and candle-lit but has still has a fun and buzzing atmosphere. The food is mouth watering and they have a first come,first serve policy which is perfect when you have no idea what time you’re going to turn up!”

For goof-proof grooming …

For after hours…

“Hotly anticipated nightclub Le Baron has finally opened in Chinatown. It’s set to be THE place this NYFW to dance the night away.”

For flexing your credit…

“The new Celine store on Madison has just had the Resort/Cruise collection delivery – heavenly even for window shopping. And Isabel Marant goes without saying! Sadly for mycredit card I rarely leave this store without a shopping bag. Love Adorned is Cool Bohemian jewellery haven on Elizabeth (Nolita).”
