When you live in a city as big as NYC, it can be hard to keep track of your friends, or in our case, our FOKs. And when it comes to a night like Fashion’s Night Out, it can be pretty near impossible with swarms of well-dressed people taking over the streets of nearly every neighborhood in Manhattan. So we’re making it easy for you and rounding up what some of our favorite FOKs are doing so you can best navigate through the city streets. Even better? We’re also letting you know where we’ll be hanging out too, so stop by, have a Kanon cocktail, and cheers to FNO!
