Budget Travel Online had a chance to interview the famous Tim Gunn, the chair of the Department of Fashion Design at Parsons and star of Project Runway. For those of you who want to know where to go to experience the "real" fashion scene in NYC, here is what Tim suggests:
"One of the things that I love about New York is that there's 
something for everyone. There are several flavors of fashion in NYC. Depending on your taste and proclivities, you can sample Fifth and Madison Avenues, 57th Street, and even the flea markets. But for the real fashion scene, I suggest Nolita and, specifically, Elizabeth Street. The block between Houston and Prince Streets gets my vote as the fashion trend center. You will find beautiful, innovative clothes at a myriad of prices. Check out Emc2, a shop showcasing the designs of Project Runway season two's Emmett McCarthy. It's fabulous. And for some refreshment, have lunch at Pastis in the Meatpacking District. Afterwards, you can cross the street to see the latest at Catherine Malandrino and wander down 14th Street towards the Hudson and into Alexander McQueen, Stella McCartney, and Jeffrey."
