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

Installation View: Visionaries: Creating a Modern Guggenheim David Heald © Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, 2017

ONGOING

VISIONARIES: CREATING A MODERN GUGGENHEIM at the SOLOMON R. GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM provides a rare chance to explore in-depth some of the key artists of this essential New York institution. Framed by the interests of six leading patrons, Visionaries brings together canvases from masters like Max Ernst, René Magritte, and Yves Tanguy, and sculptures by Joseph Cornell and Alberto Giacometti. In addition, Jackson Pollock’s Alchemy (1947) is being shown in the U.S. for the first time in nearly 50 years. More than a dozen works on paper by Picasso and Van Gogh, rarely on view to the public, can be seen in the Thannhauser Gallery, and paintings by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Paul Gauguin, and Édouard Manet are displayed on the museum’s legendary ramps. 1071 Fifth Ave. (89th St.), 212-423-3500, guggenheim.org

DRONES: IS THE SKY THE LIMIT? is the first major museum exhibition on pilotless aircraft to open in the U.S. The large-scale exhibition is installed in a huge, custom-designed pavilion on the legendary aircraft carrier now known as the INTREPID SEA, AIR & SPACE MUSEUM. The show reveals the history of drone technology, from its WWI origins to its current applications in solving complex humanitarian challenges. A mix of small and large-scale drones are included, including Volantis, the world’s first flying dress, designed and worn by Lady Gaga.

FINAL WEEKS!

Childe Hassam (1859–1935) The Fourth of July, 1916 (The Greatest Display of the American Flag Ever Seen in New York, Climax of the Preparedness Parade in May), 1916. Photography, Glenn Castellano. Courtesy of New-York Historical Society.

GEORGIA O’KEEFFE: LIVING MODERN provides a new look at an iconic American artist at the very institution that hosted her first solo museum exhibition in 1927—the BROOKLYN MUSEUM. Presenting O’Keeffe’s remarkable wardrobe in dialogue with iconic paintings and photographs, this singular exhibition focuses in on the modernist persona O’Keeffe crafted for herself through her dress, her art, and her lifestyle. With photographs by luminaries like Alfred Stieglitz, Ansel Adams, and Annie Leibovitz, the show reflects O’Keeffe’s radical rethinking of female identity, and the artist’s commitment to elements of modernism—minimalism, seriality, simplification—not only in her art, but also in her distinctive style of dress.

Cover Story History Lives Downtown New York’s history, or at least the European-influenced portion of it, begins downtown. This is the oldest permanently inhabited part of Manhattan, and 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. The story of New York and the story of America are told here.

Past and present come together at the South Street Seaport.

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 gateway for 12 million immigrants to the United States.

development, visit the South Street Seaport Museum, a collection of historic shops and structures along the East River. From here you’re next to Pier 6, the home of Helicopter Flight Services, which provides the ultimate views of all this history. Four ride options allow you to experience the spectacular landscapes of the Hudson River and New York Harbor as few ever see them. For more recent New York history, The National September 11 Memorial & Museum features two core exhibitions at the foundation, or bedrock, of the former World Trade Center complex. A memorial exhibition—In Memoriam—pays tribute to the 2,983 men, women and children killed on 9/11 and in the 1993 WTC bombing. A historical exhibition tells the story of what happened on 9/11 at the three attack sites in the U.S. and around the world. It also explores what led up to the terror strikes, examines the immediate aftermath, and shows how 9/11 continues to shape our world. On the plaza outside the museum you’ll encounter two reflecting pools, featuring North America’s largest man-made waterfalls. In the spaces the Twin Towers previously occupied, there’s a clearing with 400 oaks and the “Survivor Tree,” a Callery pear nursed back to health. There’s only one way to get complete perspective on downtown, which is a visit to One World Observatory, 102 flights up at the newly completed One World Trade Center. The tallest building in the Western Hemisphere, a trip on the world’s fastest elevators will deliver you to jaw-dropping views of downtown—not

This new exhibition allows visitors to experience one of the world’s greatest artistic achievements, Michelangelo’s ceiling frescoes from the Vatican’s Sistine Chapel.

MUSEUM OF JEWISH HERITAGE— A LIVING MEMORIAL TO THE HOLOCAUST

Be moved by the Museum of Jewish Heritage.

Lower Manhattan’s Museum of Jewish Heritage celebrates the lives and traditions of both those who survived and those who perished in the Shoah. The museum’s three-story Core Exhibition doesn’t shy away from the atrocities that took place, but it also serves as a testament to the strength and perseverance of Jewish culture. Using first-person histories and personal objects, the exhibition explains Jewish life before WWII, telling the story of confronting hatred and violence, and the struggle to endure the unimaginable. Rich with artifacts and film clips, MJH is an important institution worth visiting. Don’t miss artist Andy Goldsworthy’s beautiful living memorial, Garden of Stones. 36 Battery Pl.

A Conversation with The Book of Mormon’s Nic Rouleau BY GRIFFIN MILLER

Joan Marcus

He is described in the script as “a young, dashing Mormon Missionary…with a big smile on his face” and he is the first postprologue character onstage at the Eugene O’Neill Theatre. Within seconds of dazzling us with his Oral-B grin, he’s pressing an air-doorbell; suddenly the show’s signature “Ding, Dong!” and the musical takes off: “Hello, my name is Elder Price, and I/Would like to share with you the/Most amazing book.”

Nic Rouleau is all smiles as Elder Prince in The Book of Mormon.

The results are a most amazing show. Written by a most amazing (and irreverent) duo: Trey Parker and Matt Stone, who traveled from South Park to Broadway and walked off with nine 2011 Tonys, including Best Musical. All for sending a couple of innocent Elders—Price and Cunningham—into a small African village where everyone has attitude and conversion seems unlikely. Back to Elder Price: he’s played by Nic Rouleau, a young actor who auditioned for The Book of Mormon without so much as an Equity card, got hired, and zingo!, his Broadway debut. And come July 19th, Rouleau will have played Elder Price for six years opposite 17 Cunninghams and countless ensemble members. Officially, 62 www.cityguideny.com

he’s the longest running Elder Price, his first gig being Andrew Rannells’ standby in the original cast before taking over the role. He’s also toured with the show, 10 months in Chicago and a year in London. As for his current Broadway stint, he says he loves being back in the Big Apple. And he accepted City Guide’s invitation to answer a question or two about his madcap, doorbell-ringing life. GM: With six years more or less dedicated to a single role, how do you keep things fresh? NR: I try to find something new every night. But what really makes the show unique is the audience. From that first doorbell you sense it. You get cues from the crowd and you run with them. GM: Was it difficult to cultivate your character? NR: It was a long journey, because originally as Andrew’s standby I wanted to be as close to his performance and mannerisms as possible. So yes, it was a struggle. But I was lucky to have directors like Casey [Nicholaw] and Trey who gave me the freedom to find my own Elder Price. GM: As an actor, what impresses you most about Book of Mormon? NR: What I love about it is how open it is in terms of casting. The producers like to give people their Broadway debuts… I might have been the first, but it’s an ongoing thing. And it helps that the show doesn’t rely on a celebrity name to attract audiences. GM: Finally, about that smile… NR: My dad is an orthodontist. My teeth are here and ready…

TIP: Scoring tickets for The Book of Mormon can be a challenge so ordering them in advance is a big help. Also, check out the show’s website, which highlights “best availability” days. Bookofmormonbroadway.com

Summer Stages: The Sizzle Is Officially On

Carol Rosegg

While Broadway shakes off its residual Tony Night stardust, I suggest adding to your wish list of Dear Evan Hansen, Groundhog Day, and Miss Saigon some of Off-Broadway’s summer plays, musicals, and festivals—performed indoors and out. Imagine: shows poised to take on Broadway in a year or two...stars keeping it real in the classics…parodies with wild ride guarantees…thought-provoking… unorthodox…and sometimes free!

Lift a glass to the devil-may-care cast of The Government Inspector.

Irresistible Absurdity: The Government Inspector, a devil-may-care frolic to enjoy (tout de suite, as it closes 6/24). Adapted from Gogol’s comedic gem of mistaken identity, the show stars a fabulously physical Michael Urie. Orbiting Urie’s ravenous slacker are sundry small-town meatheads like Michael McGrath’s rapacious mayor; Mary Testa, his rouged and ready wife; and Arnie Burton playing both postmaster and lackey. redbulltheater.com Retro Revival: The Lucky One, an uppercrust dramady by A. A. Milne that comes wrapped in early 1920s haberdashery and centers on two brothers: Gerald, the picture of fair-haired success, and his sibling, known to all as “poor old Bob” for compound reasons. A must for Downton Abbey fans. Through 6/25. MintTheater.org

Brazil Brazil: Color and Charm on Restaurant Row BY CHELSEY GRASSO

Looking for some authentic Brazilian flavors in the heart of Manhattan? Brazil Brazil, a favorite on Restaurant Row near Times Square, is your spot. Filled with live music, a cozy vibe, and great eats, you’ll find a special dining experience here no matter the occasion.

The atmosphere at Brazil Brazil is as charming as it gets in New York City. Some wall decorations feature homey finds, while others showcase worthy wine bottles. Vintage posters are on display, as is a backlit bar that changes colors as it glows. Take advantage of summer outdoor dining: up front a sunken porch and planters provide some privacy, while still allowing vantages of all the Restaurant Row action. There’s also an all-weather garden in back. A range of authentic Brazilian dishes fills the menu, including favorites like frango Copacabana (sautéed chicken breast with mushrooms), feijoada (a classic black bean stew served with collard greens, orange, farofa, and rice), and camarao no coco (sautéed shrimp with mushrooms, herbs, and coconut milk, in a fresh coconut shell).

The Brazil Brazil Salad makes for a tropical taste as it mixes organic greens with fruit and heart of palm, topped off with shrimp and Brazilian sausage. Craving something with a bit of char? Picanha na chapa, a traditional Brazilian sirloin steak served on a sizzling platter, starts off the impressive grill menu, and it’s followed up with the churrasco misto plate (prime beef, chicken, pork tenderloin, and sausage) and some seriously tempting steaks. There are perfect caipirinhas from the bar to complement. A bounty of seafood will make salmon, bass, cod, and tilapia fans happy. The bacalhau à Gomes de Sá is one of the most popular choices: shredded cod with a savory burst of onion, potato, and olive. The camarao Paulista is another Brazilian favorite, made with sautéed jumbo shrimp in a light butter-garlic sauce. Brazil Brazil also offers a wide selection of pastas, salads, appetizers, and even vegetarian options to suit every kind of diner. Live Brazilian music is performed on Friday and Saturday evenings, making the atmosphere that much more authentic and inviting. Add some pizazz to your weekend by enjoying the sweet sounds of Brazilian music while you wine and dine at Brazil Brazil.

A special dining experience no matter the occasion...

Masseria dei Vini (“Masseria of Wines”) is a new upscale spot from Midtown favorite La Masseria. (In the region of Puglia, in southern Italy, “masserias” are fortified farmhouses, many now transformed into restaurants and hotels).
