So what three neighborhoods make the fashion blogger's go-to list? She tells all to the Daily Dish.

1. Sixth Avenue between Bleeker and Houston

Why?  "Everybody goes there; Bar Pitti [and] Da Silvano — all the stars are there," she says. "There's great restaurants. It's amazing people watching and people playing basketball, too. So it's like food, fashion, and fun."
