This may be the Meatpacking District but The John Dory gives new meaning to the term swimming with the fishes. The brainchild of the now-infamous Spotted Pig chef and owner April Bloomfield, a giant fish tank and seashell-lined walls leave no doubt about what's on the menu. Try the namesake John Dory for two ($50) and keep your eyes peeled for New York super chef and silent partner Mario Batali. Reservations recommended. The John Dory, 85 10th Ave., New York City, 212-929-4948, thejohndory.com/blog

The Standard (pictured) was fully booked for Fashion Week, and it's easy to see why. Located in the Meatpacking District and directly on top of the Highline, the hotel screams cool. A rooftop pool and bar will be finished within the next few months; until then Standard Queen rooms with floor-to-ceiling window and large soaker tubs are going for $195 a night.
