What Our Editors Wear To Their Favorite NYC Restos
You already know what we wear to Fashion Week, but it's no surprise we like to get decked out for "real life," too. The perfect occasion for putting together a chic outfit? Dinner at one of our (and soon to be your) favorite restaurants, obvs. And though we may not pull out the super-dressy stuff for, say, a casual brunch, we certainly try to put together inspired outfits that would make our fellow diners gawk editors proud. In true form, we've paired some of our ultimate NYC eateries with the outfits we can't wait to wear there. From a quick sammy on Saint Mark's to a five-course meal in Tribeca, these delicious bites definitely deserve an equally scrumptious look. So, go ahead and steal our swag — we're cool pretending it's a coincidence when we're both rocking that dress, table-side.

Christene Barberich, editor-in-chief: Seersucker

"Even though Seersucker is a pretty laid-back restaurant — and nearby my home in Boerum Hill — it has a really festive vibe, which always makes me want to dress up a bit. The food is a delicious modern take on Southern cooking, and the owners, Kerry and Rob, are incredibly cool and hospitable. Which is evident, since Seersucker is always completely packed."
