For those who are like me and procrastination is your middle name, I've helped ease your Fashion Night Out frenzy by looking at all 818 offerings in NYC and narrowing it down to bite sized selections. A gentle reminder, areas like Soho, 34th St., and 5th Ave will be uber crowded so pick a neighborhood and stick to it. Also, remember to bring a change of shoes, your feet will hurt by end of evening. Unless otherwise noted, events begin at 6:00 pm:
