Two men were shot in Manhattan overnight — including one blasted in the face on the FDR Drive and the other struck in the leg outside a hotel in the Garment District, according to cops.

A 27-year-old man was shot in the face inside a car on the northbound FDR, near East 25th Street in Kips Bay, just after 11 p.m. Wednesday, cops said.

He simply reported hearing shots and feeling pain, and was taken to Bellevue Hospital by private means, authorities said.

It was not immediately clear whether the shooting was random or targeted, or whether the car was moving or stationary when the victim was shot.

Hours later, a man was shot in the leg in front of the Homewood Suites by Hilton Hotel on West 37th Street near Eighth Avenue around 5:15 a.m., cops said.
