Darling, This Looks Fabulous

1. DB Bistro Moderne

55 W. 44th St., nr. Sixth Ave.; 212-391-2400

Do as Anna Wintour would do and order the famous $29 “DB Burger,” sans bun.
2. Tintol

155 W. 46th St., nr. Sixth Ave.; 212-354-3838

Perfect for dainty Fashion Week appetites: Portuguese and Spanish tapas to nibble and wash down with good Iberian wines.
3. Szechuan Gourmet

21 W. 39th St., nr. Fifth Ave.; 212-921-0233

This Flushing transplant has made some concessions to midtown palates. “This one is more General Tso’s chicken,” says the manager, “but the real Chinese food is 100 percent.”
4. Esca

402 W. 43rd St., at Ninth Ave.; 212-564-7272

Not that anyone coming from Bryant Park does carbs, but the pastas, like spaghetti with fresh chiles, mint, and a one-pound lobster, are terrific.
