Upcoming Events Around Town
New York Fashion Week (Feb 12 - 19)
For one week this month, the city will become even more fashion forward than usual. Models, designers, editors and buyers will take to Lincoln Center to watch designers from around the world present their new collections. If you can’t snag an invite to the showcases or parties and want a peek at the latest trends, you can live-stream many of the shows from the comfort of your home.
NYC Restaurant Week (Feb 16 - Mar 6)
Twice a year, hundreds of restaurants around town change up their menus to offer three-course meals at more affordable prices ($25 lunches, $38 dinners). It’s a great opportunity for hungry New Yorkers to try out new spots previously deemed out of budget. Reservations are now open, so start planning your February meals.
Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show (Feb 16-17)
See man’s best friend take to the stage at the 139th Annual Kennel Club Dog Show. The determined competitors will show off their skills in front of judges and spectators, fighting for the title of Best of Breed and Best in Show. Cheer on your favorites at the daytime sessions on the west side at Pier 92/94, and at the evening sessions at Madison Square Garden.
