The Best Spots for Spotting Models During New York Fashion Week

New York's semiannual Fashion Week has begun! Full daily schedules of runway shows will last through this weekend and well into next week, while the city enjoys the big spending of foreign fashion editors and industry heavyweights. But we can't forget about the models! With over a hundred shows happening, you can bet that a sea of beauty has just washed into NYC. Here are The Five Best Places for Model-Watching During NYC Fashion Week:

· The subway, specifically lines that touch the west side of Manhattan:
The trains to travel on, if you want to sit across from models clutching their iPad portfolios or show schedules, are the E, C and 1 trains. These travel closest to Lincoln Center, the fashion offices of the garment district, the west side galleries where parties and shows take place, the better hotels in Soho and Tribeca, and the photo studios of the far west side. The model spotting on these lines starts earliest of all, like 1.5 weeks before fashion week, as models swarm the city on appointments and fittings before the big event.

Inside the Oasis Lounge at New York-JFK's Terminal 4

So you're flying Business Class on the Singapore Airlines A380? Or maybe you're heading out in business class on any of the other airlines that call JFK Terminal 4 home, among them Aer Lingus. After checking in for your flight but before heading through security, you'll be directed to chill in the Oasis Lounge on the mezzanine above the main hubbub of the terminal.

On your walk over to the lounge, you'll see the Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse (don't get too jealous; it's going to be replaced by an even better Clubhouse soon) and you'll pass near the four prayer rooms of JFK. That's about the end of the excitement, however, as the Oasis Lounge is pretty standard lounge fare with the exception of free booze and stellar views of the tarmac.

The Details on Tomorrow's Ticker Tape Parade for the NY Giants' Super Bowl Victory

In between all the commercials and snacking there was a pretty good football game last night, and when the final whistle was blown it was the New York Giants on top. They’re the Super Bowl champs—for the second time in four years—and now New York is ready to welcome their team home for a little bit of a party and parade. Mayor Bloomberg is putting the final touches on this and that, but we do know that the celebration is taking place on Tuesday.

Late last night New York City officials released the plans for the ticker tape parade, so if you’re going to call out sick tomorrow, start planting some subtle cues this afternoon at the office. All the fun will take place in Lower Manhattan, as the parade is scheduled to do its thing beginning at Battery Place and Washington Street around 11am. After that Eli Manning, Victor Cruz, and Jason Pierre-Paul will continue north up through the Canyon of Heroes towards Worth Street as they greet throngs of well wishers.

Peeking into JFK Airport's Religious Prayer Rooms

The Catholic room

Got some extra time at New York-JFK Airport? Instead of grabbing another Auntie Anne's pretzel or buying an "I <3 NY" magnet for your second cousin, perhaps wander on over to the prayer rooms instead. Yes, prayer rooms.

The departures level at Terminal 4, before security, has four prayer rooms for different religions: Muslim, Protestant, Catholic and Jewish. When we passed by recently, we noticed that the Catholic one was in the middle of actual mass, and indeed they offer it daily excepting Wednesdays (M: 5pm, Tu: 12:15pm, Th: 5pm, F: 12:15pm, Sa: 5pm, Su: 1pm).

Two Minutes of Time-Lapse from a Hall at Houston Airport

While we freely admit that when it comes to airport time-lapse videos, ones of airplanes zipping around that tarmac are definitely our favorite. Recently, however, YouTube user Ross Johnson, aka Tumbles94—whose tilt-shift videos from Frankfurt Airport featured before—turned his camera inside an airport to capture the bustle of a busy terminal.

Travelers toting carry-ons and last-minute purchases in plastic bags littler the scene. Ross had some nerve sitting in the middle of a busy hall at Houston-George Bush International's Terminal E for 30 minutes, capturing all this.

We love it for what it reveals about the average traveler on (mostly) Continental Airlines flights from IAH: the vast majority are solo travelers, with duos here and there. Many men wear "dad jeans," but few ever stop and look lost. Cameos from the golf cart!

Enjoy. (And thanks again to Ross Johnson for spending his layovers taking these vids!)

How to Follow Us on Singapore Airlines' First A380 Flight from New York-JFK

Our first glimpse of the A380 at JFK, hiding behind the Aer Lingus jet

We type this from the bowels of the Oasis Lounge at New York-JFK Terminal 4, where the WiFi is achingly slow and our fingers jitter from a combo of excitement and the cold air leaking in.

Tonight marks the first scheduled departure of a Singapore Airlines Airbus A380 from JFK, and we'll be onboard...on flight SQ 25 all the way from New York to Frankfurt International, and on to Singapore-Changi International.

Although we'll be flying above your head for the next 22-ish hours, the fun doesn't have to stop. Quite the contrary! Here's how to follow along for all our hot and bothered Singapore A380 excitement:

Delta Will Go All In with Their Huge Expansion at New York's LaGuardia Airport

Last week we just scratched the surface about what Delta has planned for New York’s LaGuardia Airport, but this week all the juicy details have been released for new cities and new flights. Overall it looks like Delta is really building up LGA as sort of a new domestic hub, as they’ve got flights heading out of the Big Apple to here, there, and everywhere.

Some of the flights were part of a trade off with US Airways, so a few routes are staying the same—they’re just getting new planes, pilots, and flight attendants to fly back and forth. In total there’s like 100 new daily flights to 30 different cities, and it’s all happening from LGA.

Meanwhile, Delta is hard at work on the other side of Queens at JFK, building new stuff and updating terminals, but with all these new flights and new cities we hope that the bulldozers and hardhats take a hop on the Van Wyck Expressway when they’re done.

Less Than One Month Until the No Pants Subway Ride 2012

Yep, it's official. 'Tis the season for wacky urban stunts, from last weekend's Santacon to Polar Bear Plunges, and one of the world's most rapidly spreading annual "flashmob"-type event is coming up soon. We're talking about the No Pants Subway Ride which Improv Everywhere began 11+ years ago in New York, and which now has spread to include most major world cities with subway transportation.

The 2012 ride, the 11th annual, will go down on Sunday, January 8, a date ideal for those on holiday vacation to get back to the city in time to drop trou. As veterans of the NYC No Pants ride, we can vouch for it and say that it's all in good fun. Sure, it's awkward at first—you remove your pants on the subway, silently, mid-ride—but that's part of the deal.
