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

The towering tree in ROCKEFELLER CENTER is an international symbol of the holiday spirit. This year’s lighting on Wednesday, Nov. 29 will feature live performances from 7 to 9pm. The tree will remain lit, and can be viewed, through Jan. 7, 2018. Note that the lighting ceremony gets very crowded, so it’s best to be there hours in advance, or come back after the 29th, when the scene is more manageable. Adjacent is THE RINK AT ROCKEFELLER CENTER, the world’s most famous patch of ice. You can take advantage of a package deal, like a VIP dining and skating combo that includes great seats for the CHRISTMAS SPECTACULAR STARRING THE RADIO CITY ROCKETTES® at nearby RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL.

Dreams come to life when Tschaikovsky’s iconic melodies begin to play.

The New York Times says, “Balanchine’s classic production felt like coming home.”

Cover Story Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: Your Golden Ticket to Wonka Mania

BY GRIFFIN MILLER Interesting kid, Charlie Bucket, the young hero of Broadway’s latest familyfriendly sensation, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. He lives in a single parent home. Sort of. While his mom (Emily Padgett) works numerous jobs, the two share their home with all four of Charlie’s grandparents—who have retired (literally) to one seriously gridlocked bed. Not that they mind. In fact, aside from their diet of deceased vegetables and a lack of heat, they seem to enjoy their tucked-in lives.

Joan Marcus

his character’s purple jacket, green plaid pants, and orange vest.

And while he’s no slouch when it comes to bedazzling his chocolatecraving fans with snappy patter and footwork, Borle’s Wonka is laced with deliciously subtle hints of menace that the kids in the audience wolf down like fistfuls of Halloween minis.

During the show’s ingenious Act II Factory Tour, Charlie’s fellow Golden Ticket holders—a kaleidoscope of spoiled brats, each accompanied by an equally loathsome parent— tend to ignore instructions and restrictions (no surprise there). Meanwhile, Charlie— kind, inventive and polite—is blown away by the onslaught of Wonkian delights from the Chocolate Lagoon to the Mixing, Nut, and TV Rooms (and, as it turns out, each venue represents a surprise elimination round).

Charlie, as it happens, brings along his wonderfully quixotic Grandpa Joe as his John Rubinstein’s Grandpa Joe and family in Roald Dahl’s plus-one adult, marking the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

91-year-old spinner of tall Still, it’s clear from the beginning of tales’s first time out of bed in 45 years. this delectable new musical fantasy— “Of everyone in the show, the most with roots in Roald Dahl’s 1964 novel normal are probably Charlie and his and the two film versions—that Charlie mom,” says stage and screen veteran will somehow get his hands on one of John Rubinstein, who plays Grandpa five coveted golden tickets for a tour Joe. “Every other character is larger of the newly opened Wonka Chocolate than life.”

Factory and a chance to win “a lifetime As for creating his role, the Tonysupply of Wonka chocolate.” More winning actor says he picked up some of important to Charlie, though, is he’ll get to meet his idol: mysterious confectionary maestro Willy Wonka, embodied by two-time Tony winner Christian Borle in a performance that’s as colorful as

A delectable new musical fantasy...

the character’s idiosyncrasies growing up, listening to his parents’ friends describe their travels. “These colorful and famous people would sit around for hours telling story after story,� recalls Rubinstein, whose father was famed pianist Arthur Rubinstein and his mother a celebrated New York hostess and patron of the arts.

To these recollections Rubinstein has added other layers to Grandpa Joe. “Before going into the factory he sees Wonka as a superstar and he’s dazzled.

But as Act II progresses, the shine gets tarnished,� he says. “Even with all the slapstick comedy that goes on, there’s truth and tragedy.�

Wonka’s duplicitousness aside, the show itself—especially once we’re in

the factory and swept up in the musical numbers—is, in every sense of the word, awesome. And don’t get me started on the joy derived every time the adorable Oompa-Loompas make an appearance.

And clearly I’m not the only one to get swept away by the indulgent treats that keep coming at you in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Audiences can’t get enough. “From beginning to end they carry us on their shoulders with their delight—oohs, aahs, screaming and clapping‌like few shows I’ve ever been involved in,â€? says Rubinstein. “Clearly, it’s not your average children’s show. There’s a madness to it.

Maybe that’s why we’re selling out.�

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is playing at Broadway’s Lunt-Fontanne Theatre, 205 W. 46th St. For tickets call 877-250-2929 or visit CharlieOnBroadway.com.

November Stages: It’s Show Time!

Danny Skinner, Lilli Cooper, and Ethan Slater sing under the sea in the new SpongeBob SquarePants musical.

From edgy to quirky to who-knows-what, the new season is riding New York’s theatrical fast track in full pedal-to-metal velocity, fueled equally by celebrity muscle and the infusion of talented up-and-comers.

For star seekers, Broadway’s loudest buzz is humming around shows entering and exiting previews. Near the front of the pack is Oscar nominee Uma Thurman (Pulp Fiction; Kill Bill: Volumes 1 & 2), making her Broadway debut in House of Cards creator Beau Willimon’s hot new property, The Parisian Woman.

Helping Thurman transition from screen to stage are Tony winner Blair Brown (Copenhagen; Orange Is the New Black), Tony nominee Phillipa Soo (Hamilton), Josh Lucas (Sweet Home Alabama), and Marton Csokas (The Lord of the Rings).

Once On This Island is another show worth looking into during previews (beginning 11/9) if you’re seeking star power: Lea Salonga, who picked up a Tony for her performance as Kim in Broadway’s original production of Miss Saigon. (Worth noting: the current reimagined revival of Miss Saigon, running through 1/14, is a definite 66 www.cityguideny.com

must-see with Eva Noblezada taking on Salonga’s prior role.) As for Once On This Island, the company also includes Tony nominee Phillip Boykin, noted for his powerful performance as Crown opposite Audra McDonald in Porgy and Bess. Both Salonga and Boykin play island gods who help reunite a couple of star-crossed lovers, so expect some sweeping theatre magic at the Circle in the Square.

Stephen Pasquale of American Crime Story (and newly minted husband of the aforementioned Ms. Soo), heads the cast of Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Ayad Akhtar’s latest, Junk, set in 1985. It tracks the hubris-fueled rise of one Robert Merkin, launched into superstardom when he proclaims “Debt is an asset.”

Reality TV fans—in particular those with a passion for singing phenoms—will be eager to hear about the only Yuletide Broadway offering this season: Home for the Holidays. The stars of this limited run (11/21 through 12/30) are Candice Glover, winner of American Idol season 12; Josh Kaufman, winner of The Voice season 6; and Bianca Ryan, winner of America’s Got Talent season 1.

CASTING CENTRAL: ENTER TWO NEW BROADWAY PLAYERS The hit musical Waitress just welcomed two-time Grammy Award winner Jason Mraz to its pie-filled ranks. Looking to mix it up career-wise, Mraz will taking over the role of Dr. Pomatter, love interest of the adorable pie-maker/ waitress Jenna (Betsy Wolfe). The multi-Grammy winner broke all kinds of pop music records with his song “I’m Yours,” but you’ll have to act fast to catch his Broadway debut—he’ll be leaving after 10 weeks.

Meteor Shower, which just began previews, stars comedic actress Amy Schumer (Broadway debut!), Tony winner Laura Benanti (Gypsy, She Loves Me), and Keegan-Michael Key (Key & Peele; MADtv). Their original fourth cast member—Alan Tudyk—dropped out during rehearsals, citing “creative differences.” So it goes. Thankfully his replacement is Jeremy Shamos, a Tony nominee for his performance in Clybourne Park, and one of New York theatre’s most acclaimed actors.

Jason Bell

by Kaitlyn Bristowe (The Bachelorette season 11), this feast of seasonal songs—25 in all—also features NYCborn Emmy winner Danny Aiello, who shares his personal memories of Christmases in Manhattan.

Four-year-olds and up have their own superstar to celebrate this season in new Broadway musical SpongeBob SquarePants. SpongeBob will be joined by other denizens of Bikini Bottom, including of course BFF Starfish Patrick (Danny Skinner), Sandy Cheeks (Lilli Cooper), and the curmudgeonly Squidward Q. Tentacles (Tony-nominee Gavin Lee). As for SpongeBob, we’re formally welcoming Ethan Slater to Broadway—but not to the role. Slater not only played SpongeBob in the show’s Chicago premiere, he picked up a BroadwayWorld Chicago Best Actor Award.

Should your theatre passions veer Off-Broadway, here are a few shows (some with noteworthy celebs) that should be on your radar.

Downtown Race Riot. The New Group’s latest drama kicks off on 11/14 with Oscar nominee Chloë Sevigny (Boys Don’t Cry, Bloodline, Big Love).

Lonely Planet. A beautifully etched, funny, and heart-wrenching revival marking the 25th anniversary of Steven Dietz’s timely work. Starring two of New York theatre’s best: Arnie Burton (The Government Inspector) and Matt McGrath (The Legend of Gerogia McBride).

Christmas Spectacular Starring The Radio City Rockettes®. Admit it… even with the holidays still in a holding pattern, the lure of this New York holiday tradition and its high-kicking Rockettes is irresistible. So go ahead and be among the first to sample this festive feast of music, dance, and techno wonders. I assure you, you won’t be alone! Debuting 11/10.

Life of pie: Jason Mraz makes his Broadway debut opposite Betsy Wolfe in Waitress.

Umberto’s Clam House: A Very Tasty Piece of Little Italy History

For nearly half a century, Umberto’s Clam House on Mulberry Street has been serving up some of the freshest seafood in all of New York City. In the heart of Little Italy, Umberto’s is a hot spot for locals and visitors alike. Thanks to its welcoming atmosphere and enticing seafood dishes, the restaurant is as much a draw today as when it first opened.

THE HISTORY. Founded by Umberto Ianniello when he was only 35 years old, the doors here opened in 1972, and they’ve been wide open to the public ever since. The restaurant is still run by the Ianniello family (it’s moved a couple of doors down, but still retains its original feel).

THE ATMOSPHERE. The atmosphere is friendly and casual, yet still lively, with the likes of accordion players making appearances from time to time. The interior is both classic and timeless.

THE FOOD. While clams are the obvious specialty, you’ll find a variety of options.

The lobster bisque is a local favorite, creamy and rich, with a dash of sherry.

The zuppa di clams can be ordered with either a red or white garlic sauce. Fresh calamari, shrimp, mussels, and celery make up the insalata frutti de mare, tossed in fresh garlic and olive oil.

When it comes to entrees, the “Old

Time Favorites” are not to be ignored.

Mussels, fried calamari or shrimp, scungilli, and sauteed calamari can all be ordered solo or with linguini. The pasta at Umberto’s is made fresh: penne a la vodka, lobster ravioli, and fettuccine Alfredo are all popular dishes, along with linguine & clam sauce, fettuccine carbonara, and baked ziti.

If seafood is more your style, you’ll have tough decisions between shrimp scampi, shrimp Francese, broiled scallops, lobster tail, red snapper Marechiaro, and fried clams. If you arrive with a date, you may even want to consider the Fried Fishermen’s Platter, with fresh seafood and French fries, specialy prepared for two.

THE DRINKS. You can find a wide selection of reds, whites, and sangrias at Umberto’s, joined by specialty cocktails. The Umberto’s Bloody Mary comes with an oyster shooter, and the homemade limoncello is made from the zest of Femminello St. Teresa lemons.

For a memorable night in Little Italy, opt for a classic: Umberto’s Clam House.

Welcoming atmosphere and enticing seafood dishes...
