| NYC AND BE SEEN |
 As Fashion Week takes you all over the city, we've compiled a little hit-list for your tastebuds. Since you'll be fashionably late, breakfast in Bryant Park at Tom Colicchio's 'wichcraft sandwich stop—get a hot cinnamon bun before they run out. If you can't stray too far from the tents for lunch, speed-eat some sushi at Koi in the Bryant Park Hotel (40 West 40th St., 212-869-0100). If time is on your side, steak out at Wolfgang's (4 Park Ave., 212-889-3369) then sneak back to Bobby Flay's Bar Americain (152 West 52nd St., 212-265-9700) for dessert—don't miss the German chocolate layer cake. |

Finally, spend an evening with Kiki & Herb: Alive on Broadway (240 West 44th St., 212-239-6200). Where else can you see a top shelf caberet version of Total Eclipse of the Heart performed drunk?
