Beyond the Runway: 4 Free NYFW Experiences in Meatpacking

Fashion Week has taken over more than the runways. Across Meatpacking, a 16,000-square-foot Snoopy fashion archive, Bvlgari’s first U.S. public art installation, a CHANEL fragrance café and the ten-day Cherry Bombe House are all open now.

From fashion archives and public art to fragrance, food and immersive experiences, here’s what’s taking over the neighborhood during NYFW. Better yet, all four are free to visit.

The 16,000-square-foot Snoopy in Style exhibition features rare archival pieces and designer looks across 10 immersive zones, including designs from Hermès. There’s also exclusive Snoopy merchandise, collectibles and plenty of photo moments.
