At some point between your third Milk Studios roundabout and hundredth elbow to the ribs in the standing-room section, hunger kicks in. We asked music execs-turned-emphatic food bloggers Andrew Steinthal and Chris Stang — whose no-holds-barred reviews over at Immaculate Infatuation have been cracking us up for months — to recommend their top spots for Fashion Week neighborhood dining. First up: Chelsea’s greatest hits.
A Blue Sunset shake (pineapple, mango, banana, blueberry, and coconut water) will give you a little more respect for that crazy guy from the juicer infomercial. Maybe he really is on to something.
One Lucky Duck/Chelsea Market, 75 Ninth Avenue, between 15th and 16th Streets.
Nothing says “Let’s do business” like eating from a huge pan of paella with tiny shovels.
Socarrat Paella Bar, 259 West 19th Street, between Seventh and Eighth Avenues (212-462-1000).
Westville is the ultimate utility spot, delivering the goods for breakfast, lunch, and dinner — and in an affordable fashion. Plus, you can be extra healthy.
Westville Chelsea, 246 West 18th Street, between Seventh and Eighth Avenues (212-924-2223).
A creative and excellent Indian restaurant, Bombay Talkie gets points for style — and you’ll look like a genius for knowing about it. The cocktails are also great.
Bombay Talkie, 189 Ninth Avenue, between 21st and 22nd Streets (212-242-1900).
Finish the day off strong (no matter when it ends — Donut Pub is open 24 hours) and put down NYC’s best black and white cookie right before bed. You deserve it.
Donut Pub, 203 West 14th Street, at Seventh Avenue (212-929-0126).
