I hate buying suits but (reluctantly) am in the market for one.
Looks like I will be doing some shopping in NYC this weekend. Any of you locals have a recommendation? I wanna spend $500 to $800 and prefer something fairly trendy as opposed to staid Brooks Brothers stuff.

Anyone who recommends century 21 really hates you. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.
Try john varamos they seem to be really nicely cut. I think they have a store in the meatpacking district.

best advice: work hard to find a good deal on a suit then splurge on a fancypants tailor

yes, the tailor is essential. I get most of my shirts tailored in fact.
