Marathon runners need to fuel up for the big race. Marathon shoppers are no different.

You've gotta love a place that lets you lap up a latte while star-gazing and shopping for $300 T-shirts. Crescendo, formerly known as Decapo, offers light, surprisingly affordable Italian food to celebs and shoppers carb-loading before returning to the racks. The airy patio is a popular "Ohmygawd, I haven't seen you in for-EV-er" spot to see and be seen; those not eating puff away on cigarettes to reduce their hunger.
