There are so many great lunch places to choose from. \u00a0If I&#8217;m not feeling hungry, sometimes I stop and check out the\u00a0Barnes &amp; Noble at FIT for new fashion books and college attire. I recently bought an FIT sweatshirt that I&#8217;m absolutely in love with, it&#8217;s so comfy!<\/p>\n<p>After class sometimes I go shopping with my friends. \u00a0We love Zarra, Macy&#8217;s, Forever21, H&amp;M, and American Apparel. It&#8217;s really exciting to explore and find new places, especially for a &#8216;Jersey Girl&#8217; like me who is used to open spaces and no places to walk to.<\/p>\n<p>If your planning on visiting the FIT campus some other places you should check out are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Joe Fresh 34th<\/em>\u00a0St<\/li>\n<li>Cat Walk Shoe Salon 7th Avenue<\/li>\n<li>Lush Cosmetics<\/li>\n<li>Macy&#8217;s at 34th St.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div><a onclick=\"javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('\/downloads\/precollegeprograms\/files\/2012\/04\/548776_3506277263191_1459563442_33123744_659511752_a.jpg');\"  href=\"http:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/precollegeprograms\/files\/2012\/04\/548776_3506277263191_1459563442_33123744_659511752_a.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-5284\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/precollegeprograms\/files\/2012\/04\/548776_3506277263191_1459563442_33123744_659511752_a.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"180\" height=\"135\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>If you&#8217;re taking a sewing or fabric styling class you can find a lot of beautiful fabrics at Mood located on\u00a0225 W. 37th St. \u00a0You guys might recognize this store from one of my favorite shows, Project Runway! \u00a0I made several trips to Mood last semester when I took fabric styling. \u00a0The swatches I selected at Mood were really unique and added something really special to my style boards!<a onclick=\"javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('\/downloads\/precollegeprograms\/files\/2012\/04\/logo.gif');\"  href=\"http:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/precollegeprograms\/files\/2012\/04\/logo.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/precollegeprograms\/files\/2012\/04\/logo.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"222\" height=\"131\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/precollegeprograms\/files\/2012\/04\/logo.gif\"><br \/>\n<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/precollegeprograms\/files\/2012\/04\/moodfabric.jpg\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m having so much fun learning my way around the city and finding cool places to hang out and shop!
