Come New York Fashion Week, a certain set of the city’s bars and restaurants will be all but unavoidable on social media. Defined not by their downtown cool nor uptown polish (while TriBeCa’s Spring Studios is the official venue for the week, many brands are showing off-site), these are the haute haunts soon to be ruling our feeds.

As this journalist was reporting this piece, a friend mentioned they were accidentally given a round of free martinis they assume was meant for Emma Roberts, seated at the lobby bar table behind them. That’s the kind of energy Nine Orchard, reigning queen of the triangle below Canal, brings to the party. Its comparatively low-key sibling, Ignacio Mattos’s Corner Bar, could be something of a scene salve for those who don’t wish to be in the background of 4,627 Instagram stories, though we did spot Martha Stewart there. (If you remain unconvinced, Town & Country executive style director Erik Maza assures us Corner Bar also has “the best burger in town.”)

Occupying the space formerly known as Mission Chinese and outfitted by Camilla Deterre of Primo’s and Mimi’s fame, Casino wields its nowness with abandon. “I feel like it’s gonna be [hot face emoji] during fashion week,” says Lower East Side–based designer Darren Jett, whose partner does embroideries and embellishments for local legend Tory Burch. White plaster walls, blood red banquettes, and soft jewel-box light from vintage Pistillino lamps create an atmosphere that’s at once transportive and uniquely local—at least for this corner of Manhattan. “Camilla knows what she’s doing,” says David Lê, founder of the nearby label and boutique Maiden Name. Hot face emoji, indeed.

ELLE DECOR A-List designers Gachot Studios unveiled the sleek and sexy Pebble Bar last year. And if the crowd during May’s Design Week serves as any indication, it’s only one highlight among many must-see recent additions to Rockefeller Center, including the Workstead-designed Le Rock and Ignacio Mattos’s destination Lodi. Spanning three floors of a townhouse, Pebble Bar envelops guests with oak paneling, mosaic tile flooring, and brass accents, not to mention uniforms designed by J.Crew’s buzzy Brendon Babenzien. Consider it a high-end haunt for the late-night crowd.

Hotel Chelsea’s Lobby Bar serves as something of a living room for the storied property, recently renovated by hotelier Sean MacPherson and still occupied, here and there, by lifelong tenants. MacPherson drew inspiration from European hotel lobbies, making sure to incorporate original architectural details and artworks. Twin solariums abut the main dining areas, should guests’ tastes run toward the light-filled rather than candlelit. But the hotel’s rock-and-roll past isn’t lost to its hospitable present: The bar’s famously boozy martini is not a nightcap for the faint of heart.

The team at Grand Tour Hospitality opened the ’80s-inflected Holiday Bar, sister to American Bar, this past fall. Designed with the firm of Melissa Bowers, the 65-seat dining area features taupe leather banquettes punctuated by chrome accents and tables set with vintage Andrée Putman serveware. Bone-shaped sconces by Marrow Studio, the new project of Savvy Studio and Casa Bosques founder Rafael Prieto, add a moment of zen in an interior that’s otherwise long on glamour. The space is “a mashup of styles,” says Prieto. “But timeless and fun.”

From Golden Age hospitality, the team behind elegant cocktail lounge the Nines, comes restaurateur Jon Neidich’s Le Dive, a Parisian tabac-inspired café-cum-natural wine bar on the Lower East Side. While the interiors nod to traditional French bistros, you won’t find Emily decamping from Paris here just yet: The music director for Christopher John Rogers spins in the cute, cramped basement, so you know the crowd leans a little less Darren Starr. The afterparties will be—pardon the pun—worth savoring.

Designed by ELLE DECOR A-List Titan Jacques Grange and kitty-corner from the soon-to-open local outpost of Parisian destination Caviar Kaspia (which also just expanded to L.A.), the Mark is a perennial favorite for those with uptown inclinations. Imbibers can enjoy their cocktails on Vladimir Kagan furniture and snap selfies alongside designs from Ron Arad, the late Karl Lagerfeld, and other industry heavy hitters.
