Your City. Your Rules
Tessuti’s AW19 New York City shoot welcomes you to the concrete jungle
words Will HALBERT
There’s not a place on earth that has a rhythm quite like that of New York City. Each of its five boroughs is a wild and wonderful blurring of voices, faces, cultures and places, all caught up in a dizzy dance of light and sound. Amidst the hustle and bustle of the city streets, menswear giants, Tessuti must have felt right at home. It’s a tough place in which to leave one’s mark, after all, but Tessuti are no strangers to standing out.
The rooftops, fire escapes and steaming, street-level, subway grates all provided the picture perfect backdrops for Tessuti’s roll call of outerwear heavy-hitters. Boasting the utilitarian edge of Parajumpers, the razor sharp style of Moose Knuckles, the Alpine charm of Pyrenex, and casual cool of Stone Island, Tessuti’s AW19 collection represents a who’s who of menswear mainstays, perfect for helping you to stand out in the Big Apple and beyond.

An Essential guide to getting the lay of the land in New York City
Coffee, Stumptown
Originally opened in Portland, Oregon, Stumptown Coffee Roasters bring a whole new meaning to the idea of starting strong. From fresh espresso to ice cold nitro, Stumptown has everything you need to fuel your morning walk through the streets of Manhattan. Don’t just swing by for the coffee, though; their donuts and pastries also happen to be the stuff of legend.
Brunch, Dante
A Greenwich Village institution since it opened its doors in 1915, there’s a good reason Dante was recently awarded World’s Best Bar. The only thing stronger than Dante’s food offering is its drinks menu. Which, I’m sure we can all agree, is a beautiful thing. Feeling guilty about drinking before midday? Order up a Garibaldi. It’s got orange juice in; it’s practically breakfast.
Dinner, Spaghetti Incident
When it comes to the age-old art of Italian-American cuisine, it really doesn’t get more authentic than Spaghetti Incident. It’s a no-nonsense, family-owned, cash-only business that makes its own fresh pasta in-house. For those in a hurry to cram more into their NYC visit, the fine folk at Spaghetti Incident even offer their pasta dishes in a cone to take away. How thoughtful.
Drinks, Attaboy
Speakeasies don’t come cooler than this. Tucked away in Manhattan’s Lower East Side, Attaboy serves up perfection by the glass and thrills by the shot. That is, if you can find the place. For those lucky few that do, leave your name and number with the doorman and he’ll get back to you when a space comes up. Trust us, it’s worth the wait.
Sleep, The Ace Hotel
The poster boy for staying in style, Manhattan’s Ace Hotel is a masterclass in modern design and the benchmark in hotel luxury. It’s edgy, it’s cool, and it’s a stone’s throw from where the action’s at. And if you’re all partied out from a day of exploration then don’t sweat it: There are two bars downstairs ready and waiting to serve you.
