The Top NYC Venues To Watch For Fall 2014 Fashion Week

Location: 525 W 29th St Team: Noel Ashman (Veruka, Studio 54, The Plumm), Michael Bregman, Patrick McMullan, Joey McIntyre, Ethan Browne, Luis Guzman, Simon Rex, Bo Dietl, Ross Robinson More details: The Leonora brings a much needed elegant and private lounge to Chelsea, a neighborhood known more for busy clubs like Marquee and Avenue. The lounge sits on an otherwise quiet block in Chelsea, giving patrons a little more peace of mind compared to the Meatpacking District or the Lower East Side. The venue officially opens during Fashion Week, and based on the preview party with James Franco, as well as the owners' celebrity-filled rolodex, you can bet it'll open with a bang.
