So, despite what you’ve seen and heard, fashion people loooovvve to eat. And they love to eat really, really good food.

In fact, the Fashionista staff knows food just about as well as we know fashion. But there’s not much time to dig-in during New York Fashion Week. So we’ve rounded up our favorite spots, events, and parties that might end up being more about the food than the scene. And maybe even the clothes.

Bird‘s Fashion’s Night Out event takes the cake though (and we do hope there will be cake). Owner Jen Mankins has some serious foodie clout in addition to her discerning fashion eye. After the jump, she dishes on she how she wrangled the Brooklyn foodie elite and her favorite meals at Frankie’s and Prime Meats.
