Fashion all day, food all night—that’s the BA way.

Jean-Georges Vongerichten and his son Cedric will prep a dinner for Michael Bastian’s inner circle, while Rachel Roy will host her post-show dinner on the roof of the The NoMad alongside Executive Chef Abram Bissell and Bon Appétit editor-in-chief Adam Rapoport. And Pork Slope’s Dale Talde FORGET TO has teamed up with AND! DON’T E GOODS… H T S Booker and Dax U SHOW mixologist Dave Arnold Tag your Own the to host a house party Night-related Tweets and bash toasting and Instagrams with Chris Benz’s 30th #BAFeastorFashion and birthday. Expect a cake your musings and memofrom Momofuku Milk ries may—just may!— Bar’s Christina Tosi. appear on BonAppétit.com the morning after.
A CHEEKY MOMENT With Mario Batali Daily fave and legendary night owl Mario Batali is getting in on the Own the Night action at his restos Lupa and Otto. Where do you dine during Fashion Week? I don’t change the way I eat, except that there are some fancy, glitzy-looking people in some of my favorite places. Such as? The fashion flock is always at The Spotted Pig, Tertulia, and La Esquina, which means I avoid La Esquina that week. Where in NYC will we probably never find a Batali joint? I haven’t done anything in the Upper East or Upper West, and I don’t plan to. What’s your favorite way to eat cheeks? I like both beef and pork cheeks, but I’m a big fan of halibut cheeks as well. Who’s invited to your dream fashion folk dinner? I love Isaac Mizrahi, Helena Christensen, Michael Stipe, and Isabella Rossellini. What’s on the table? All of those people will eat just about anything I want! So we’d keep it simple: a watermelon or peach salad because they’re still in season, pasta or pizza with a lot of vegetables on the side, and sorbetto or copetta at Otto. What’s your current fashion obsession? These really cool bags by Fishtown Sail Co. made in Michigan from used sails. I’m bringing back five or six bags for my friends. They’re going to be all the rage—everyone is going to want them. As much of a rage as Mario Batali can start in fashion!
