Ah, Fashion Week. Between the back-to-back shows, constant Uber-ing, and late-night parties, it can be difficult to find time to sit down and enjoy a good meal. But just because your schedule is jam-packed doesn't mean you should sacrifice eating—even if you're trying to shed some quick pounds. Whether you're looking to grab something on-the-go or are hoping to kill some time with a long, satisfyingly hearty meal, we're here to help with eight restaurant suggestions, each located a brisk walk away from this season's most popular venues. Go ahead, treat yourself.

MOMOFUKU NISHI

Near: Milk Studios

The vibe: David Chang's latest culinary mash-up specializes in Korean-Italian fusion. Of particular note: the ceci e pepe—a creative take on the classic pasta dish that swaps Pecorino Romano for chickpea hozon, a fermented seasoning similar to miso paste (perhaps you've seen it on Instagram?).

THE BENNETT

Near: Spring Studios

The vibe: Hip. A new addition to Tribeca, The Bennett serves up creative cocktails and a Southern-inspired brunch menu in a speakeasy-esque setting reminiscent of its sister bar, The Raines Law Room.

MAMAN

Near: Spring Studios

The vibe: Quaint and intimate. The French bakery and café run by Michelin-starred chef Armand Amal and baker and designer Elisa Marshall features an open kitchen and a rustic back dining room with painted exposed brick walls and vintage windows. Menu highlights include quiche lorraine, beet salad, and a mean chocolate chip cookie.

SEED + MILL

Near: Milk Studios

The vibe: The latest addition to Chelsea Market's array of food offerings specializes in artisanal tahini, which, for the uninitiated, is a rich paste made from ground sesame seeds. Seed + Mill makes it onsite and even blends it with goat milk to make ice cream. Paging the lactose intolerant...

QUALITY EATS

Near: Skylight at Clarkson Square

The vibe: Warm and casual. The recently opened downtown counterpart to Michael Stillman's Quality Meats and Quality Italian offers a modern twist on the steakhouse concept, with an array of sandwich options, and, for the uber-classy, a three martini lunch served with a side of steak and fries for $45.

Cafe Clover

Near: Skylight at Clarkson Square

The vibe: Located steps away from Washington Square Park, the sprawling space boasts a health-conscious menu of sunchoke soup, quinoa tagliatelle, and grilled branzino. Sink back into one of the cozy leather banquettes and stay a while.

Near: Skylight at Clarkson Square

The vibe: Laid-back. With fast counter service and sizeable portions, chef and Cupcake Wars champ Chloe Coscarelli's vegan joint is the perfect place to stop for a quick bite. Choose between the daily soup, kale caesar salad, and veggie burger—just make sure you leave room for their assortment of (gluten free!) desserts.

THE PENNSY

Near: Skylight at Moynihan Station

The vibe: The far-from-average food court is guaranteed to be bustling on any given day (especially circa lunchtime), but vendors including Next Iron Chef winner Marc Forgione's newly-opened Lobster Press make it worth braving the crowds.

INDAY

Near: Skylight at Moynihan Station

The vibe: Like the Indian version of Chipotle (but healthier), this gluten-free and vegan counter-service spot in NoMad offers wraps and build-your-own bowls with a choice of proteins. And if you need an extra dose of caffeine (who doesn't?), their chai tea can't be beat.
