New York City is home to some of the best restaurants, and lets not forget: it is one of the top fashion capitals in the world. That being said, myself, along with all of the other Precollege students, are unbelievably fortunate to have the opportunity to take classes at FIT and be able to experience the hectic streets of NYC weekly. So, where do you guys shop, eat and go on breaks? I know where I go so here are just some places I highly recommend!
Due to the fact that Saturday/Sunday Live students get a 15-30 minute break time is limited! So, that means where we go on break is limited also. Here are just a few places to get coffee, a snack, or shop in a very close proximity to FIT (some in which you’ll probably be very familiar with):
- Buffalo Exchange: 114 W. 26th street
- Fashion Design Books: 250 W. 27th street (practically on FIT’s campus)
- Barnes and Noble at FIT: between the A and B buildings
- The Style Shop (if it’s opened): located in the A building
- (The infamous) Starbucks: 315 7th ave
- Argo tea: 275 7th ave (right across from the museum at FIT)
- Cafe 27: 250 W. 27th street (between FIT’s campus)
- Moda: 234 W. 27th street (also between FIT’s campus)
- Trailer Park Lounge: 271 W. 23rd street (Okay, so this place is not the most attractive looking, just see the picture I posted, but it’s actually a really cool place with great food!)
