See It All From Unique New York Perspectives

New York is a vertical city and there’s never been a better time to experience it, with multiple world-class observatories to choose from.

The Western Hemisphere’s highest outdoor observation deck, Edge, stands atop the city’s newest neighborhood, Hudson Yards. Step out onto the triangular deck and you’ll be 100 floors above the ground with miles of visibility in every direction. Edge will also thrill you with its glass floor, providing views of the High Line below your feet. (Extra thrills can be found with City Climb, the highest external building climb in the world, which lets you scale from the observatory to the skyscraper’s top on open-air platforms and stairs.)

Across town near Grand Central, SUMMIT One Vanderbilt takes the concept of an “observation deck” to new heights through three floors of multi-sensory interactions. At night, the art installations are transformed through a one-of-a-kind light and sound story making the attraction a beacon of energy, visible to all of New York City and beyond.

For a downtown take on altitude, look to One World Observatory. It’s the tallest building in the hemisphere, and with over 40,000 metric tons of steel and a unique concrete core, it’s the strongest building in the world. A minute’s ride will take you to the main observatory level, with 360° sights of the city and beyond.

For an even higher perspective, the nearby Downtown Manhattan Heliport along the East River is home to HeliNY New York City. These helicopter tours are the most exciting way to

view all of the city’s major landmarks, from a perspective few ever experience.

See the Empire State Building for yourself and you’ll know immediately why the skyscraper is considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. Recent additions have made visits here better than ever. The Observatory Experience space is loaded with Instagramready displays that show visitors the building’s journey up to today.

The legendary aircraft carrier that’s now the Intrepid Museum—it served tours of duty in both World War II and Vietnam—takes visitors on an interactive journey to learn about American innovation. The museum includes the Space Shuttle Pavilion, home to Enterprise, the world’s first space shuttle. The flight deck shows off 28 historic aircraft.

When you want to pose “in a moment in time” with the world’s most iconic musicians,

leaders, athletes, and A-list stars, Madame Tussauds in Times Square is your destination.

In addition to being “the world’s greatest wax museum,” you can immerse yourself in adventures like the MARVEL Super Heroes 4D Film & Experience and the multi-sensory Coney Island Carnival Carnage 7D Game.

The Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island are two of the city’s most famous sites. If you want to see them first-hand, Statue City 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. Liberty Island holds the Statue of Liberty Museum, which features memorabilia, an immersive film, and up close looks at the statue’s original torch, a 3,600-pound copper flame. Opened in 1892, Ellis Island was the gateway for 12 million newly minted Americans. Some 40% of the U.S. population traces their ancestry here. Visitors can explore the French Renaissance style main building and The National Immigration Museum.

This icon requires a 162-step climb (there is no elevator) but will reward you with an entirely unique perspective on the city. Along a double-helix spiral staircase you’ll see the intricate engineering that keeps the statue standing, capped by 25 windows overlooking New York Harbor.

Statue City Cruises is the only way to get here, leaving from the southern tip of Manhattan for a short but spectacular trip through the harbor. On Liberty Island you can also explore the new Statue of Liberty Museum. Breathtaking views join a $100 million destination that includes memorabilia, an immersive film, and up close looks at the statue’s original torch, a 3,600-pound copper flame.

LOWER MANHATTAN exploring

New York’s past and future come

together on the streets of downtown.

You can visit spots that George Washington would have known (this was the capital of the United States between 1785 and 1790), along with some of the most futuristic destinations the city has to offer.

26 Everything To Do NYC

Battery Park, at the very tip of Manhattan, holds Castle Clinton, an original fort serving in the defense of New York Harbor. It’s now the base for Statue City 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. When you’re exploring Liberty Island you’ll want to check out the Statue of Liberty Museum, full of memorabilia and history. Ellis Island was the historic gateway for 12 million immigrants

Wall Street is both a (surprisingly cramped) literal street and how we describe the financial industry centered in Lower Manhattan. A few blocks west, the Charging Bull statue by Arturo Di Modica attracts plenty of people seeking out photo ops, as does Kristen Visbal’s Fearless Girl statue in front of the neoclassical New York Stock Exchange. Head east from Wall Street to the historic cobblestones of Stone Street for food and drink.

to the U.S.—40% of Americans can trace an ancestor here. On a visit today you can immerse yourself in the immigrant story inside a fully restored French Renaissance Revival station.

Nearby is the National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI), a branch of the Smithsonian dedicated to Native American cultures throughout the Americas. Rotating exhibits fill the landmark Beaux Arts U.S. Custom House, completed in 1907—don’t miss the domed ceiling of the rotunda, one of the masterpieces of Spanish engineer Raphael Guastavino. Across the street is Bowling Green, the oldest public park in the city, still surrounded by its original 18th-century fence.

A soaring, cathedral-like space defines the Oculus, with its world-class collection of shops, including major players like Apple and Banana Republic. Just across the way is the legendary discounter Century 21, newly relaunched in its iconic former home.

This area is also the home of the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, built at the foundation 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. On the plaza outside you’ll encounter two reflecting pools, featuring North America’s largest man-made waterfalls.

A great way to get complete perspective on downtown is a visit to One World Observatory, 102 flights up at One World Trade Center. This is the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere and a trip on the world’s fastest elevators leads to jaw-dropping views of downtown—not to mention two rivers, New York Harbor, the midtown skyline, and out into New Jersey and the boroughs.

The observatory is fully enclosed, perfect for visiting on a crisp day.

For even more perspective, look to HeliNY. Helicopter tours depart from the Downtown Manhattan Heliport on the East River Piers.

This is the most exciting way to view the city’s major landmarks, from a point of view that few will ever experience.

New York’s Newest Retro Musical Has Arrived!

Chilina Kennedy Speaks Out on Bringing the Swinging ‘60s to the 21st Century

By Griffin Miller

York, where the local time is ten years ahead of wherever you just came from!”

Featuring a book by Lindsey Hope Pearlman (ROAR!; Lucy) and direction by Gabriel Barre (Amazing Grace; The Wild Party), the show features an electrifying young cast led by Chilina Kennedy.

Kennedy, who blew Broadway audiences away with her portrayal of Carole King in Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, shares her personal take on A Sign of the Times:

The past is officially the present at New World Stages. The high-energy new musical A Sign of the Times has set the Wayback Machine for 1965, when the beat on the street was out of sight and DJs rocked the airwaves with pop anthems by breakthrough artists like Petula Clark and Dusty Springfield.

Taking on the music, moves, style, and gestalt of the era, A Sign of the Times captures the exuberance of the ‘60s, while shedding light on How long what was taking have you been place socially and Chilina Kennedy and cast in rehearsals. involved with the Photo by Sara Robillard. culturally.

28 Everything To Do NYC

Q.

How close was your life growing up to that of Cindy’s?

A.

I was raised in an army family so I had the opposite experience of Cindy.

I moved a lot when I was growing up but I did live in a couple small towns as well as big cities. And I certainly know what it’s like to be new to a big city, like Cindy when she moves to NYC, not knowing anyone. I know how vulnerable that can be and I can only imagine what it would have been like for a young woman in the 1960s with no parents or siblings and very little money.

That would have been a huge risk and very brave.

Q.

“ Welcome to New York, where the local time is ten years ahead of wherever you just came from!”

[Cindy’s long-time boyfriend, played by Justin Matthew Sargent] sings it to me: “I Only Want to Be with You.” The second is Leslie Gore’s “You Don’t Own Me,” which is a statement piece backed by the female ensemble. To get that powerhouse moment is such a catharsis. And once that moment comes into focus, you can see it in the women’s reactions in the audience.

Q.

Boomers and Gen Xers are going to know and love the songs, but what about younger theatregoers?

Actually, I have two. The first is my all-time favorite song—but I don’t sing it, Matt

A.

The show has always had a strong feminist message. Now the Civil Rights

movement is also a deeper thread throughout the show, with more attention paid to the relationship between Tanya [Cindy’s African American roommate/BFF played by Crystal Lucas-Perry] and our new character of Cody, played beautifully by Akron Lanier Watson. There are some other changes too, like the relationship between Brian [Ryan Silverman] and Cindy being fleshed out and the issues of gender politics coming through in wonderful and passionate ways.

Q. A.

Any final comments?

The combination of music and humor and the protest issues from the past, many that still impact us today—feminism, war protests, civil rights—makes the show truly unique, and I think, important. And the show is a love letter to the location—New York City.

Definitely come see us!

BROADWAY Broadway Your Way: A Visitor’s Guide

38 Everything To Do NYC

By Griffin Miller

Move over March Madness, there’s a new mantra in town and it’s all about Broadway: March Must-Sees!

Forming the bridge between Winter and Spring (the latter officially clocking in on 3/19), March has always been prime time for theatre influencers to scoop up tickets to the Big Apple’s most popular shows. Seeing that the majority of the month’s new productions won’t launch preview performances prior to March 15th (see p. 44), why not go for a theatrical slam dunk with tickets to some of Broadway’s hottest hits? The biggest, brightest, most spectacular shows in town await!

CLASSIC DISNEY Animated blockbusters transformed into unforgettable, thrill-aminute stage shows have been Disney’s five-star gift to audiences since 1994, when Beauty and the Beast trailblazed its way onto Broadway.

With scripts, scores, characters, and staging designed to appeal to adults as much as kids (tongue-incheek humor being a signature win-win), it’s no wonder the Disney on Broadway’s current duo—The Lion King and Aladdin—are super

sought-after tickets. Sure, this month can be a good time to score the best seats for either show, but the tide can shift in a heartbeat.

For example, March 20th, a.k.a. Aladdin’s 10th anniversary on Broadway, is likely to sell out quickly, while The Lion King, with over a quarter of a century mesmerizing New York audiences, is an ongoing multigenerational magnet.

And while both productions tantalize musically and visually, according to their respective websites, they also bring it home mathematically. For example, Aladdin features 84 special effects, not the least of which is a wire-free flying carpet. On the sartorial side, the costume count is 337, including Princess Jasmine’s 12-pound beaded wedding gown and, for Genie’s killer production number “Friend Like Me”, a pair of seriously eye-popping pants embellished with 1,428 Swarovski diamonds.

As for stats at The Lion King, it’s worth noting the musical is the third longest running show in Broadway history. And then there’s the talent: 24 musicians, 51 performers, and 200 puppets, including an 18-foot-tall giraffe and a 13-foot-long/9-foot-wide elephant named Bertha, who requires four puppeteers to guide her from aisle to stage!

“America then, as told by America now” —Lin-Manuel Miranda, Hamilton

Continued from p. 39 BLUE CHIP HITS “America then, as told by America now,” is how composer/writer Lin-Manuel Miranda described Hamilton several months before it stockpiled eleven 2016 Tony trophies, including Best Musical. Navigating the life of American founding father Alexander Hamilton, the musical is currently helmed by actor/musician/ rapper Trey Curtis in the title role. Among his costars are Broadway veterans Jared Dixon (Aaron Burr), Jennie Harney-Fleming (Angelica

Schuyler), Stephanie Jae Park (Eliza Hamilton), and Jarrod Spector (King George).

Seeing as the U.S. is now treading Election Year 2024 waters, Mr. Miranda’s Pulitzer Prizewinning work is particularly well positioned to shine its acclaimed biographical-theatricalmusically-diverse light onto myriad political dos and don’ts, both historical and contemporary.

And as the presidential race heats up, so will ticket demand…just saying.

They join principal cast members Jordan Litz (Fiyero), Jake Pedersen (Boq), and William Youmans as Doctor Dillamond—all of whom were on hand when the show celebrated its 20th Broadway birthday last October.

As for things in the Pottermania zone, they’re alive, well, and sending up House Pride flares at Broadway’s Lyric Theatre. Four magically vetted Wednesday-night performances of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child have been set aside to lavish theatregoers with cool giveaways, custom tattoos, and photo ops. And, should you be among the first 100 attendees in line on 43rd Street, you’ll can snag a prize by playing Potter/Hogwarts House-themed trivia hosted by cast members.

The first House Night is set for February 28th, when Slytherins (“cunning, determined, and ambitious”) get their green on.

No surprise, since show creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone (South Park) and Robert Lopez (Avenue Q) are known for their supersmart take-no-prisoners humor. In Book of Mormon they’ve shuttled their heroes—a couple of squeaky-clean Mormon missionaries—to a godforsaken (pun intended) African village, where the locals feast on blasphemy with a side of anarchy.

But it’s also a musical with extraordinary heart, brought to life by a cast headed by Kevin Clay, as self-assured Elder Price, and Cody Jamison Strand in the role of his gung-ho sidekick Elder Cunningham. “I may be biased,” says Clay, “but we are still the funniest show in New York. Fight me”.

LOCAL COLOR No matter how high you’ve climbed on the stress-ometer, once Blue Man Group‘s screwball antics reach full throttle, expect a seismic shift to your happy place. Arriving at Off-Broadway’s Astor Place Theatre over three decades ago, these deadpan interplanetary travelers are programmed to go rogue when it comes to artistic expression­—from frenzied paint drumming (primary colors, of course) to nonsensical audience interactions to techno shenanigans to marvelously messy funny business. Who knew that three blue-hued dudes would come up with an antidote to angst? See them...love them...and spread the paintspattered word!

Fradiani. Teeming with Diamond’s five-decades of music—from concert medleys to solo numbers incorporated into the storyline—the audience gets to channel their inner Neil during the curtain-call’s “Sweet Caroline” sing-along.

Sweet indeed.

Homing in on mid-‘60s mindsets and issues via 25 (give or take a reprise) of its most potent ballads, pop faves, and protest songs, is A Sign of the Times, an Off-Broadway show with a vibe so retro you might feel more time traveler than theatregoer. Featuring a book

by Lindsey Hope Pearlman based on an original story by Richard J. Robin, the new musical centers around Cindy, who leaves her Ohio

hometown in 1965 to (hopefully) become a photographer in the Big Apple.

Starring Chilina Kennedy, best known for her gifted portrayal of the title character in Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, the production covers a lot of ground (the Feminist Movement, Civil Rights, the Vietnam War), sadly some of it not as vintage as one would like.

Playing at New World Stages, A Sign of the Times boasts an all-girl band pumping out a song stream of “Rescue Me,” “The In Crowd,” “Downtown,” and so on—plus a first-rate ensemble with a lot more than the Boogaloo on their dance cards.

You can’t really go wrong no matter what you order, but the Porterhouse for two—it’s grilled with just the right amount of char—is one to remember. (The extra-thick Sizzling Canadian Bacon is not a bad way to start things off.)

h An iconic red sauce Italian experience?

New York restaurants come and go, but Patsy’s Italian Restaurant is forever. The famed eatery— which only has one location, right in the heart of Midtown—is celebrating 80 family-run years and is only getting better. Dishes like eggplant Parmigiana, chicken cacciatore, and spaghetti and meatballs are as rich and flavorful as ever.
