I just bought a new suit this morning and I'd like to get it tailored in time for a very important dinner I have Tuesday. Any suggestions on a tailor in downtown NYC that can do good work with a fast turnaround? I don't think anything drastic needs to be done - sleeves shortened, waist taken out a bit, cuffs on pants, that sort of thing.

You should call Wilfred and ask if he can do it. My guess is yes if you really need it fast

Almost certain Bhambi (60th/Madison) can do this. I dropped off a jacket for working buttonholes yesterday afternoon and he offered to have it ready later that day.

Cardelino lead time is currently running about a week, and could probably do it faster. Picked up two suits there today.
