Welcome

From the MAYOR OF NEW YORK

As Mayor of New York City, I am delighted to join New York City’s original City Guide in welcoming you to the greatest city in the world. This year, more than 54 million visitors will come to New York City, and we want every one of you to have a unique and unforgettable experience. From world-class restaurants to one-of-a-kind food trucks, from the theaters of Broadway to free summer concerts in our parks, from boutiques to vintage shops — ours is a city with something to offer everyone. And to make the most of your time here, experience this city the way New Yorkers do, by visiting neighborhoods in every borough. Spend an afternoon exploring the incomparable Brooklyn Museum or New York Botanical Garden. Visit Chinatown in Flushing, Queens for incredible cuisine and culture. Ride the Staten Island Ferry—and then stay and have lunch at one of the best pizza restaurants in the city. Visit the Bronx Zoo and make this a trip the family will never forget. Every borough and every neighborhood has something to offer. Take a walk off the beaten path and explore some of the hidden gems and local spots that make New York City the greatest place on earth. Welcome! Yours sincerely,

Bill de Blasio

Cover Story Warm Up with Family Winter Fun in NYC

Enjoy all the glamour of the city in winter at the world’s most famous patch of ice: The Rink at Rockefeller Center.

Don’t let the cold and snow throw you: February is a great time to be in New York. The city’s wealth of indoor attractions makes it easy to entertain and educate the whole family, with the added bonus of not having to deal with the crowds of warmer seasons. The most natural way of embracing winter is by getting out in it, as in a visit to The Rink at Rockefeller Center, now celebrating 80 years of the most glamorous ice skating in the world. Although sometimes it’s hard to admire all of the grandeur from ground level. There’s no place better to take it all in than the Top of the Rock, with an indoor viewing area (nice and cozy for colder days) and unobstructed views of the city’s iconic landmarks. Nearby, the FDNY Fire Zone has great souvenirs of New York’s Bravest, including toys, shirts, and outerwear. It’s also a multimedia fire safety learning center where kids pick up fun, lifesaving lessons from real live FDNY firefighters. Try on FDNY “Bunker Coats,” explore a life-like fire engine, and grab one of the fantastic collectibles. There aren’t many attractions that appeal to three generations of a family at once, but Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Times Square is that welcome exception. With over 500 exhibitions, many of them world-famous, there’s something to 24 www.cityguideny.com

hold anyone’s attention. Kids can work on their mental powers with a ball game that’s driven by their brain waves, or a laser challenge where they can make like Catherine Zeta-Jones. Take on the special effects of the “Black Hole”—if you dare. Holiday Express: Trains and Toys From the Jerni Collection at the New-York Historical Society will delight and inspire children of all ages. Items date from 1850 to 1950, modernized with multimedia displays. Kids can crawl through a transparent bubble for an up-close‐view of a display that suggests an early 20th-century toy department. Also at the N-YHS is the DiMenna Children’s History Museum, presenting 350 years of New York and American history. The Blue Man Group first arrived on the NYC scene 25 years ago and it hasn’t lost any of its charm. Come in from the cold for a performance that somehow incorporates creativity, music, comedy, art, and audience participation all under one roof. To celebrate President’s Day, head to Lower Manhattan, where the modern

city’s history begins. Over the years it’s seen stints as a Dutch fort town, a British outpost, a center of the American Revolution, and the first capital of the United States. Although the city has been remade many times over since then, important traces remain, including Federal Hall, constructed on the site where George Washington took the first presidential oath of office; St. Paul’s Chapel (1766), where Washington worshipped; and Fraunces Tavern, where Washington bid farewell to his officers at the conclusion of the Revolutionary War. At the very tip of the island stands Castle Clinton, an original battery for the defense of New York Harbor. It’s now the base for Statue Cruises, the only way to reach two of the area’s top historic attractions: the Statue of Liberty (you

won’t truly appreciate Lady Liberty until you see her up close) and Ellis Island, the historic gateway for 12 million immigrants to the United States.

Kids of all ages will be entranced by Holiday Express at the New-York Historical Society.

NATIONAL SEPTEMBER 11 MEMORIAL & MUSEUM

A view of the pavilion from the North Pool at the 9/11 Memorial.

Since opening in May 2014, the 9/11 Memorial Museum has welcomed nearly seven million visitors. Of the two permanent exhibits, In Memoriam pays tribute to the 2,983 men, women and children killed on 9/11 and in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. The historical exhibition tells the story of 9/11 at the three U.S. attack sites and around the world, exploring the events before and after, and the attacks’ ongoing relevance. 180 Greenwich St. (btw. Fulton & Liberty Sts.), 212-266-5211, 911memorial.org

There aren’t many attractions that appeal to three generations of a family at once, but Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Times Square is that welcome exception. With over 500 exhibitions, many of them world-famous relics, there’s something to hold anyone’s attention. Robert Ripley himself tracked down many of the items in the collection—he was a long-time presence in New York, having moved to the city in 1912 and opened his museum here in 1939. Ripley’s has recently extended its displays to add even more, including a new display of rare Marilyn Monroe memorabilia and “Plane Loco,” a steampunk train that’s the largest matchstick model ever made. 234 W. 42nd St.(btw.

If you’d like to take in the city from an even higher vantage point, check out Helicopter Flight Services. Choose one of their four tours—the New Yorker Tour (12-15 mins.), the Ultimate Tour (18-20 mins.), the Deluxe Tour (28-30 mins.), or the VIP Air & Sea Tour (1215 mins., plus the Statue of Liberty by water)—and experience the beauty of Central Park, the Hudson River, and New York Harbor as few ever see them. Call 212-355-0801 for reservations or visit heliny.com STATUE CRUISES The Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island are two of the most famous destinations in New York City. If you want to see them first-hand, Statue Cruises is the only way to get there. Boats depart from Battery Park City in Lower Manhattan and Liberty State Park in New Jersey, providing memorable tours through New York Harbor. In addition to the historic stops, you’ll experience amazing perspectives on water, shipping, and skylines. statuecruises.com

There’s only one tallest. Only one strongest. And only one destination selected as the Best New Attraction in the World. These superlatives belong to One World Trade Center, and its pinnacle, the One World Observatory, rising over 100 stories in the sky. With an attraction this popular, OWO’s alltimed-entry system is a major advantage. Computerized ticketing ensures wait times are always kept manageable. You can buy your ticket on the spot, or in advance online. You’ll see some fast facts as you make your way to the elevators, confirming the superlatives: at 1,776 feet, One World Trade is the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere; with over 45 tons of steel and a unique concrete core, it’s the strongest building in the world. After a minute’s ride and a short video, you’ll hit the Discovery Level (the main observatory), with 360° sights of the city and beyond. It’s all here, from the rivers to the harbor, from the Statue of Liberty to the Empire State Building. Jersey and Queens recede in distant horizons. Helicopters zip by like hummingbirds, well below the floor-to-ceiling windows. The skyscrapers of Lower Manhattan—some of which once claimed title to the tallest building in the world—cluster below your feet like toys. Observatory hours daily are 9am-8pm, with the last ticket sale at 7:15pm. Admission is $34 for adults, $32 for seniors above age 65, and $28 for children between ages 6 and 12. Kids 5 and under get in free. Admission for 9/11 family members, rescue, and recovery workers is free, and active and retired members of the US military get special discounts. 285 Fulton St. (entrance on the corner Vesey and West Sts.), 844-696-1776, OneWorldObservatory.com

Sitting Down with A Bronx Tale’s Nick Cordero BY GRIFFIN MILLER

Joan Marcus

Few Broadway shows have the professional pedigree brought to life in the memory musical A Bronx Tale. Born of actor-writer Chazz Palminteri’s hit one-man stage/ childhood-through-young-adulthood 1960s flashback, this indelible production shines brightly thanks in part to the performance by Nick Cordero as complicated gangster/mentor to Calogero (Chazz) that strikes the loudest and most poignant chord with theatregoers. Here’s an all-toobrief Q&A with the actor who brings the role of Sonny to bigger-than-life Life.

Nick Cordero with Hudson Loverro and the cast of A Bronx Tale.

CG: How did you get involved with A Bronx Tale? NC: When I was playing Cheech in Woody Allen’s Bullets Over Broadway on Broadway—a role that Chazz had played in the film—[producer] Tommy Mottola and Chazz came to me in it. I was nominated for a Tony Award and right before the ceremony, Tommy tapped me on the shoulder and told me he wanted me to play Sonny. This was in June and by the fall we were doing a workshop. And then we did it at Papermill [a phenomenally successful run] and moved it on to Broadway. 52 www.cityguideny.com

CG: The show was co-directed by Robert De Niro and four-time Tony winner Jerry Zaks—what was that like? NC: Robert...Bob was a great asset. Of course he directed the film version of A Bronx Tale, so he had great insight as to what was needed to make the show as successful on stage as it was on film. Then there was Jerry Zaks, who is so wonderful in getting to the heart of the piece, that is bringing out the emotional content for the overall piece and the actors. Bob was great at showing the Bronx in an authentic way...and this was important. So working with both of them, we all felt well taken care of. CG: Do you have a favorite moment in the show? NC: In Act II there’s this great song. I think it will be an American classic, “One of the Great Ones,” that Sonny sings to Calogero when he comes to tell him he’s fallen for a black girl. In it, Sonny tells him she could be one of the three “great ones.” It’s a Sinatra piece and a treasure to do. The audience loves it—I think because it shows an unexpected side of Sonny. For me it’s an opportunity to play against type and make him more human. CG: Any final thoughts or comments? NC: I think the reason the show has stood the test of time is because you come expecting a gangster story and by the end you find yourself thinking of the world outside the world you live in. The essential part of the piece is tolerance and that makes this such a special story... one that comes to fruition in the musical because the musical format allows you to dig into these themes even more. With this score by greats Alan Menken and Glenn Slater, the themes of tolerance and acceptance are even more apparent.

Broadway’s Celebrity Scene The crush of powerhouse players steamrolling their way onto Broadway this month says it all: 2017’s superstar muscle has arrived. From the irresistible teaming of Jake Gyllenhaal and Tony winner Annaleigh Ashford in a revival of Sunday in the Park with George (at Broadway’s newly resurrected Hudson Theatre), to Oscar winner Sally Field and Tony winner Joe Mantello headlining Tennessee Williams’ The Glass Menagerie, to the platinum cast of Arthur Miller’s The Price (Mark Ruffalo, Tony Shalhoub, Jessica Hecht, and Danny DeVito), the previews alone are shaping up to sell out. And I haven’t even gotten to Glenn Close coming to the Palace Theatre for a revival of her Tony-winning portrayal of faded silver screen diva Norma Desmond in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical take on Billy Wilder’s Sunset Boulevard. Meanwhile Off-Broadway, Little Miss Sunshine Oscar nominee Abigail Breslin and Isabelle Fuhrman (Clove in The Hunger Games) play 14-year old BFFs looking to accelerate their move to maturity in All the Fine Boys at the Ford Foundation Studio Theatre. At the Romulus Linney Courtyard Theatre you’ll find Evening at Talk House, featuring a script by Wallace Shawn (My Dinner with Andre, Princess Bride) and starring Tony winner Matthew Broderick, Tony nominee Claudia Shear (Dirty Blonde), John Epperson (aka Lipsynka), husband and wife Michael Tucker and Jill Eikenberry (L.A. Law) and Larry Pine, last seen Off-Broadway in Sam Shepard’s Buried Child. HAPPY BUBBLE BIRTHDAY (A GAZILLION TIMES OVER!) On Saturday, February 15th the familyfriendly, ultra-popular, über-delightful, mega-awesome Gazillion Bubble Show

BY GRIFFIN MILLER

will celebrate its seventh anniversary at Off-Broadway’s New World Stages! And while little kids never cease to go all kinds of wild for a theatre exploding top to bottom with a fantasy world of bubbles, all generations (including celebrities like Chris Rock, Heidi Klum, Julia Roberts, and Matt Damon) have proven themselves suckers for the show’s signature bubble artistry laced with mind-altering laser and lighting special effects.

Be amazed by the artistry of the Gazillion Bubble Show.

The Gazillion Bubble extravaganza began simply enough 20 years ago when Fan Yang combined science and an over-thetop imagination to turn bubble-making into an art form that netted him 17 Guinness World Records, including somehow getting an elephant in a bubble. For the current show, Yang has recruited his family: wife Ana, brother Jano, son Deni Yang, and daughter Melody, any of whom you might catch performing bubble magic at New World. NOT TO BE MISSED If you’re a fan of YouTube phenom Todrick Hall and have been dragging your heels (thigh-high red stiletto or otherwise) getting to Broadway’s Al Hirschfeld Theatre to catch him in his show-stopping turn as Lola in Kinky Boots, it’s time to score your tickets. Rumor has it the fabulous Mr. Hall is scheduled to depart on March 5th!

Here It Is: Contemporary Italian in the Flatiron

Evan Sung

In Neapolitan dialect, the word “obicà” translates as “here it is,” and if you’re looking for some of the freshest and most authentic Italian in New York City, point yourself to Obicà Mozzarella Bar Pizza e Cucina, where you’ll find it served right before your eyes.

Started in Italy in 2004, Obicà now has restaurants in international gateways like Rome, Milan, Florence, London, Tokyo, and L.A. In New York City, Obicà holds down a soaring space in the Flatiron District. Wood, exposed brick, and flattering lighting come together to create a warm atmosphere within a historic building. (A second location can be found in midtown in the form of a mozzarella bar in the atrium of the IBM Building.) A friendly, welcoming staff leads diners through a genuine Italian experience, centered on fresh mozzarella di bufala Campana DOP, flown in directly twice a week from artisanal cheesemakers in Campania. Obicà selects its provider farms

carefully, to ensure its cheese always has its characteristic milky texture, porcelainwhite shine, and distinctive taste. Complementing that mozzarella are homemade pastas, organic produce, and pizza made with stone-ground dough that’s been left to rise for 48 hours, producing an exceedingly light crust. The overall philosophy is to source the best ingredients and cook them minimally, letting natural quality shine through. The results are regional Italian classics, lovingly presented with a modern refinement. (Newcomers can get a full introduction with Obicà’s moderately priced tasting menu, which tours through a classic Caprese salad, eggplant casserole, pizza, and lasagna verde with a grassfed-beef ragu. Save room for dessert: the prix fixe also comes with flourless chocolate almond cake and fior di latte ice cream.) A thoughtful wine list complements the food, highlighting essential Italian regions—Lombardia, Umbria, Piemonte, Sicilia, and beyond. If you’re seeking an out-of-the-ordinary experience of Italian craftsmanship, here it is!

Some of the freshest and most authentic Italian in New York City...

THE SEA FIRE GRILL

The Sea Fire Grill specializes in contemporary American seafood, with a focus on highlighting the fish itself. The results are clean and honest presentations of the highest quality locally sourced seafood. Raw bar favorites include daily East and West Coast oysters and chilled lobster. Appetizers like jumbo lump crab cakes and yellowfin tuna tartare are sure to impress. The seafood menu wouldn’t be complete without a surf & turf, featuring dryaged steaks in a process perfected by steakhouse impresarios. Signatures also include East Coast black sea bass and lobster mac ‘n’ cheese. Cocktails and wines—as well as a variety of beer and sake selection—have been carefully selected to enhance each menu item. The sleek interior of tile floors, shimmering blue lighting, and mirrored accents gives the space a modern edge. The main dining room takes its cues from a classic steakhouse, with dark wood floors, wainscoting, and a roaring marble fireplace. The Sea Fire Grill’s superior service, delicious cuisine, and cosmopolitan vibe have contributed to their highly ranked Zagat score of 27 Food, 25 Décor, and 26 Service.
