Fashion Plates: What To Wear At 3 Just-Opened Hotspots

It's hard to stay on top of all the new eateries around the city. And when you've never been, it's even harder to pick out the Perfect Outfit. Rest assured, we've spent many a pre-dinner, pre-game hour changing clothes when we should be sipping champs. So, to help eliminate dress-code dilemmas, we're bringing you stellar outfit inspiration for what to wear to a trip of just-opened hotspots. Whether it's a Fashion Week dinner party at Acme, a double-date at The Toucan & The Lion, or a casual brunch at Bowery Diner, mealtime is the time to put your personal style on blast. Play off these three looks, and we promise you'll be an enviable regular in no time. Now all you need is a reservation...

We all know the pain of waking up after a night out. And the only fix for your pounding head is a brunch that rivals the chicness of the previous evening's events. Look no further than Bowery Diner. Trust us, when you're craving a cure-all, an alcoholic milkshake and a shitake omelet look and taste like heaven. Sure, it may say "diner," but the food is as tasty and the atmosphere as humming as any pricier brunch spot around, and there's no denying that comfort food's the best kind to ease your wake-up woes. We suggest keeping your look casual and cool: A baggy sweater and some booties make perfect pairs to light colored jeans and a cross-body bag.
