Crocodiles are fearsome creatures, even when they’re made of rattan and bamboo like the one in A Bend in the River (below), a dance parable performed by the Khmer Arts Ensemble as the opening attraction in the citywide Season of Cambodia, a two-month festival of that nation’s music, dance, theater, film and visual art. Crafted by Sopheap Pich so that dancers can move effortlessly with and within it, the multipart puppet/ sculpture exacts revenge on humans who attack it by killing them. Other examples of Pich’s artistry are installed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Asian galleries during the festival. » Khmer Arts Ensemble, Joyce Theater, 175 Eighth Ave., 212.242.0800, Apr. 9-14; Cambodian Rattan: The Sculptures of Sopheap Pich, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1000 Fifth Ave., 212.535.7710, thru Jul. 7

Collecting Bug Georges Hoentschel (1855-1915) was a French interior decorator, connoisseur and pack rat, whose collection of medieval art and French 18th-century furniture, paintings, sculpture, textiles, woodwork and metalworks filled 364 packing cases when it was shipped to New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1906-07 as a gift from another legendary pack rat, the American financier J. Pierpont Morgan.

Largely unseen since the 1950s, the collection is the subject of an exhibition and collaboration between the museum and the Bard Graduate Center in which 200 objects (including the gilt-bronze mount, above) are once again on public view. » Salvaging the Past: Georges Hoentschel and French Decorative Arts From The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Bard Graduate Center, 18 W. 86th St., 212.501.3023, Apr. 4-Aug. 11

Jazz Babe Diana Krall (left) a Ziegfeld Girl?

It’s an intriguing conceit and not an improbable one, given the jazz pianist and singer’s honey blond beauty, cover-girl allure and worldlywise way around songs (torch and otherwise) from the 1920s and 1930s, as showcased on her latest CD, Glad Rag Doll (Verve). But the Canadian-born showgirl is also firmly grounded in family values as wife of rocker Elvis Costello and mother of 6-year-old twin boys, Dexter and Frank, whom she calls “my safe, happy place.” Krall would seem to have it all, but more may be in the offing. Two days after she wows concertgoers on the New York leg of her Glad Rag Doll world tour, winners of her native country’s 2013 JUNO Awards will be announced. Krall is nominated for Vocal Jazz Album of the Year, an honor she has already received six times.

behind the curtain news » by Francis Lewis

Mad Man? “I eat a lot of white chocolate,” confesses Matthew James Thomas (far right, with Andrea Martin and cast), referring to the one vice he allows himself while playing the physically demanding lead role of a young prince in search of himself in the Broadway revival of Pippin. Offstage, the 25-year-old British actor hits the gym to keep fit; onstage, in the circus-set, stunt-filled musical, he falls backward off a 15-foot pole, among other feats. “It’s always a good thing when someone catches me,” he remarks, tongue just slightly in cheek.

“But more often than not I find the internal trickery and ambiguity of the role is the most exciting aspect for me.” What drives the star, who made his airborne Broadway debut in Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark? “I seem to have this ambition in me that pulls me toward this stuff. Maybe it’s danger, maybe it’s love, maybe it’s both. Or maybe I’m just completely insane … and from experience, it is probably the latter.” » Pippin, Music Box Theatre, 239 W. 45th St., 212.239.6200

Directed by …

The Madrid (below, starring Edie Falco as a teacher who abandons her career and family) is the second world-premiere play by Liz Flahive that Leigh Silverman has directed. It is a working relationship that Silverman treasures. “I love Liz’s work because it is deeply human, elliptical and beautiful,” she says.

“She is interested in writing plays that are complicated, that challenge and surprise you, that make you laugh.” From first read-through to opening night, giving “birth” to a new play carries a tremendous responsibility, Silverman continues, “because the writer is sitting right next to you” as the work finds its final shape, size and form. A good director is “equal parts therapist and dictator,” she concludes, “never needing sleep and [endowed with] endless creativity, intellectual rigor, the ability to remain calm and patient under the most stressful circumstances, a great sense of humor—and a very thick skin.”

» The Madrid, Manhattan Theatre

Change of Heart In his distinguished career on and off Broadway, Michael Wilson has directed works by Tennessee Williams, Gore Vidal, Horton Foote and Edward Albee.

While he has always admired the writing of another giant of the American theater, Lanford Wilson (no relation), he was initially hesitant to accept when he first got the call about directing the current Off-Broadway revival of the playwright’s 1980 Pulitzer Prizewinning Talley’s Folly (above, starring Sarah Paulson and Danny Burstein).

He was worried that, 30-plus years

8

IN New YORK | april 2013 | innewyork.com

0413_IN_FOOTLIGHTS_SHIPPED.indd 8

after its premiere, its romantic story would be too sentimental for today.

Then he read the play, and “it shook my heart,” he says. “Sally Talley and Matt Friedman are two very complicated rebels—she to her family, he to the world. Both are desperately fighting to save themselves from a very unhappy future. Their only hope is one another.

But will they realize that in time?

Here was a valentine I could not pass up.” » Talley’s Folly, Roundabout Theatre Company, Laura Pels Theatre, 111 W. 46th St., 212.719.1300

Seeing Things in a New Light

The year was 2009, and NYEHAUS gallery mounted a 30-year retrospective of resin sculptures by California sculptor Peter Alexander.

Four years later comes another show—Peter Alexander: New Resin Works—charting an interesting shift in his use of light, says Director Allison Wilbur. The earlier works were translucent “candycolored” wedges and cubes that “exploded like jewels” on their pedestals. The current pieces (above, 2012) hang on the wall, resembling square dishes with a central dip that causes the gentle green, pink and yellow hues to pool in the middle, gradually fading at the edges. Perhaps Alexander, like many a 1960s radical, is softening in middle age. But that doesn’t mean he’s lost his touch. » NYEHAUS, 358 W. 20th St., 212.366.4493, thru Apr. 20

A half-century ago, when stores were discovering the power of a designer name, the wares of Angela Cummings were much in demand by jewelry-loving women and gents. One of a heralded trio of innovative designers for Tiffany & Co., along with Elsa Peretti and Paloma Picasso, she was famed for her abstract, sculptural pieces: toothpick-shaped earrings and wavy-faced watches, honeycomb bangles and checkerboard cuff links. This 3-inch, 18-karat gold sea horse brooch at Gallery 47 (left, ca. late 1970s-early 1980s), “being figural, is outside what she would normally do,” says owner Ken Leach. Yet in its bold colors (lapis lazuli and white pearl) and strong silhouette, the piece is quintessential Cummings, too. » Gallery 47, Manhattan Art & Antiques Center, 1050 Second Ave., 212.888.0165

Beautiful Beasties

Precious paper works are the specialty of Swann Auction Galleries, but for its annual Fine Books, Including Incunabula auction, held to coincide with the New York Antiquarian Book Fair (Apr. 11-14), “we show the best of the best,” as Director of Communications Rebecca Weiss puts it.

This year, that includes an 1845-48 edition of The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America (above), a collaboration between naturalist John Bachman and John James Audubon of bird-painting fame.

While researched with scientific accuracy, the tome’s 150 hand-colored plates, Weiss says, “are really artistry.” » Swann Auction Galleries, 104 E. 25th St., 212.254.4710, Apr. 6-10 (preview), Apr. 11 (auction)

Geometry Lessons

Created on sanded fiberboard, with splashes of acrylic outlined in pigment marker, the works of Bernd Ribbeck practically pulsate with bold colors and a kaleidoscopic array of circles, diamonds and lines, as in “Untitled” (above, 2012).

The influences on the German artist are many and varied, ranging from natural prisms to 20th-century church architecture and spiritually minded painters such as Emma Kunz. As for his own views, “I’m not a religious person. I only believe in what I see,” Ribbeck says. “But what I see also causes me to believe, or at least to imagine.” » Harris Lieberman, 508 W. 26th St., 212.206.1290, Apr. 6-May 4

great dining experiences » by Lois Levine

Cherry-Picking Before even entering Cherry (below), you are having the Cherry experience. A large red circular doorway leads to a dark, plush stairway with red velvet-tie railings, making way for a subterranean dining room, and a gorgeous one at that. The restaurant is a hybrid of Geisha-girl parlor and Old-West bordello with rich reds and golds dominating, red and gold-fringed wall sconces and retro photos of demure Japanese women.

Jonathan Morr (Bond Street) and chef Andy Choi offer an Asian menu with an innovative Euro twist (think: foie gras mousse with tuna tataki and lobster thermidor with kamameshi rice). Other standouts include blackened skate and miso-glazed sea bass.

Saving room for dessert is requisite: The creamy light Suntory bread pudding is a genuine oxymoron and banana tarte Tatin is touched off with salted caramel and Tahitian vanilla ice cream. » Cherry, 355 W. 16th St., 212.929.5800

Hot and trendy restaurants are no doubt a part of the NYC dining palate, but there is much to say for the tried and true. Le Périgord, a 48-year-old French restaurant on Manhattan’s East Side, meets the definition of haute cuisine, minus the stuffiness. Despite the gracious formality, the dining room has an open, airy feel, with pale gold walls, elegantly framed sketches of Parisian scenes and pristine white tablecloths. Le Périgord offers both an à la carte (roasted rack of lamb, Dover sole, beef Wellington) and a prix fixe menu (with more than … Japanese with a Euro a dozen entrées to choose from). accent … classic French And those desserts (above)! Floating islands, tartes Tatin: Let them in Midtown … spring rolls eat cake, indeed. » Le Périgord, for dessert …

Asian Heaven Set on a street with an old theater and a colorfully graffitied building is an exciting addition to the Lower East Side. The General, a bustling Asian restaurant (read: postmodern cafeteria) puts a creative spin on Chinese and Japanese classics: pork and cabbage pot stickers, Philly peppersteak sweet buns, and sushi dishes that include the Mercy roll (spicy tuna with jalapeño salt and salsa verde) and the Pow roll (left), which wows, meshing spicy king crab with wasabi honey. Finally, while one rarely thinks desserts when going Asian, The General will command a happy attitude change: Cheesecake spring rolls and sticky coconut cake are sweet finishes. » The General, 199 Bowery, 212.271.7101

Ping-pong enthusiasts rejoice! At SPiN New York (above), a Susan Sarandonbacked Flatiron bar and lounge devoted to the sport, you can clutch a paddle in one hand and a flute of prosecco in the other. The clubhouselike accommodations feature 13,000 square feet of Olympicquality playing tables (17 in all), a full bar and restaurant, a private VIP room and a retail shop for all your table-tennis needs.

Private lessons with pro players, nightly events and regular tournaments make it hard not to have a boozy ball. » SPiN New York, 48 E. 23rd St., 212.982.8802

At The LCL: Bar & Kitchen, local is the name of the game (and the venue— minus the vowels, that is).

Inside this sleek, spartan space, guests sample regionally brewed beers and cocktails featuring local ingredients, including options such as Bonfire on the Bayou (Brooklyn-distilled gin, rhubarb syrup, Organic Avenue grapefruit juice, lemon, Creole bitters) and Cali Ginger (below, Caliche rum, house-made ginger beer, lime). Not everything here is locally sourced, however: The crowd is largely made up of lively out-of-towners from the hotel above. » The LCL: Bar & Kitchen, The Westin New York Grand Central, 212 E. 42nd St., btw Second & Third aves., 212.490.8900

Art Deco Elegance Prepare to step back into the 1930s. Housed within the original headquarters of The Lambs—one of the nation’s oldest professional theatrical clubs, whose members have included Charlie Chaplin and John Wayne—The Bar at The Lambs Club (left) immerses guests in a glamorous Art Deco environment: glossy black lacquer details, shiny chrome accents, red leather seats and retro light fixtures. Intimate jazz performances (every Tues and Wed at 7:30 p.m., as well as during Sun brunch) appeal to the finger-snapping flapper in us all. Sipping classic cocktails—such as the belly warming Gold Rush (bourbon, lemon, honey)—never felt so snazzy. » The Bar at The Lambs Club, The Chatwal Hotel, 132 W. 44th St., 212.997.5262

All That Glitters …

Christopher Columbus once wrote: “Gold is most excellent, gold is treasure, and he who possesses it does all he wishes to in this world …” Goldbar (above and below), a Little Italy lounge recently under new management, has captured the decadence and irresistible allure of that coveted, glittering mineral.

Imposing metallic doors epitomize the joint’s exclusive vibe. Inside, chandeliers hang over mixologists while guests lounge on velvety sofas amid walls embedded with stacked golden skulls. There are 26 custom cocktails on offer, including The Alchemist’s Cobbler (St. Germain, Aperol, Amaro, Carpano Antica Vermouth, orange and lemon served over pellet ice). It seems a new gold standard has been set. » Goldbar, 389 Broome St., 212.274.1568

Bejeweled Mobile

The new Vertu TI is a gem of a phone. Literally. The Android 4.0-powered device boasts a sapphire crystal screen of nearly 4 inches, an ultralightweight yet super-strong titanium case and, on the side, a V-shaped ruby button that allows users to access a roundthe-clock concierge service (a.k.a. experts on whatever destination a traveler is headed to). Starting at $9,600 for the black leather model (below), the handset also features a rear camera, a Skype-compliant front camera and stereo speakers.

Each Vertu TI is handmade by a single craftsman at the company’s HQ in Hampshire, England; so while many may be sold, each is as unique as the person using it. » Vertu, 703 Madison Ave., 212.371.8701

Plastic chairs, bare beige walls, fluorescent lights—too often, hired conference rooms/events sites are soulless spaces that make participants feel imprisoned rather than productive. That’s why meeting venue Offsite takes a different approach.

Color abounds throughout the airy, three-tiered space, along with snazzy fixtures and residential touches, such as paintings and bud vases—especially on the Main Floor, which resembles a series of living rooms, ideal for tête-à-têtes or breaks. The Underground level (above) evokes a funky classroom, with a Rio de Janeiro mural and a grass strip. Even the Mezzanine, the most conventional area with its long, boardroomlike table, has its playful side—whiteboard walls (markers provided) for scribbling ideas, points or doodles. » Offsite, 52 W. 39th St., 212.366.1828

… an unconventionally colorful meeting place … a most precious cellphone … a legendary eatery newly equipped for entertaining …

Welcome to the Club The Beatles. The Clintons. George Clooney. The rich, famous and powerful have always congregated at the ‘21’ Club (left), which recently unveiled a pumped-up space to party in. The revamped Puncheon Room and Gallery (capacity: 200/sit-down, 450/reception) has a classic-meets-contemporary feel, in which fluted columns and crown moldings meet modern crystal chandeliers and floral carpets.

1930s-’50s scenes of the restaurant by artists and customers such as James Montgomery Flagg, Bradshaw Crandell and George Luks hang on the walls; the windows offer views of the iconic jockey statues. It’s a venue “to create memories,” as General Manager Bryan McGuire likes to say. » ‘21’ Club, 21 W. 52nd St., 212.582.7200

As the weather improves, New Yorkers are inclined to take to the streets—or to the pocket parks and squares that dot our city. Even if you aren’t heading to greener pastures, there’s no reason not to revel in verdant hues.

Cunning Cumming

Alan Cumming was a little-known, 33-year-old Scottish-born actor when he took Broadway by storm in 1998 as the Emcee in Cabaret. Since then, the wickedly funny, dramatically compelling actor has conquered practically every entertainment medium in America, starring in such hit films as X2 (2003) and the currently acclaimed CBS TV series The Good Wife.

This month, Cumming—who lives in New York with his husband, Grant Shaffer—returns to the stage in his most challenging project ever: a one-person, 90-minute version of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, at the Barrymore Theatre, in which he plays every role.

By Brian Scott Lipton

ala n sta cum m g bro e and ing w ow adw in c lub s au ay die s. con nc que Now he’ es on rin s scr gs hak back on een, esp ear e— by him sel f.

Q: How did this particu-

lar version of Macbeth come about?

A: I wanted to do a production of the play with my friend John Tiffany, and we had this idea to swap the gender of the main character. But after we did a reading that way, I wasn’t so crazy about it.

Andy Goldberg, who’s now our co-director with John, came to see the reading. He had this idea that I should do all the parts and have it set in a psychiatric unit.

Q: Have you been surprised by any of the previous audiences’ reaction to the show?

A: When we were in Glasgow, at the end of the play when I’m in the bathtub, I could feel some people wanted to run. I terrified them. It’s an interesting thing as an actor to know that the audience is not

only scared by the story, but they are also scared for the mental health or the physical safety of the performer. Some people think I’m really going to die in that tub.

Q:

Why was doing this show on Broadway so important to you?

A: I’ve done Broadway three times before: Cabaret, which is a musical about the Holocaust; Design for Living, which is about a bisexual threesome; and The Threeepenny Opera, which basically tells people they’re crap. And now this. I am delighted there’s a place on Broadway for those shows and for something as experimental and weird as this play. I find that heartening.

Q:

How much input do you have in what we see in The Good Wife?

A: After last season, I said to them, “Could I please have sex?” Because I wasn’t sure I could play Eli Gold for another year as a person who never has sex.

And I am always trying to find stories where I can cut my hair because I hate my hair on that show. So when the show is finally over, or Eli dies, I have decided I am either going to shave my head or go blond or do both.

television to huge films to independent movies to nightclubs and concerts. Why is that variety so important?

A: I bring a fresh energy to everything because each project is so different. It also means I’m able to get little films made like Any Day Now [in which he played a gay man who wants to adopt a teenager] because I’ve done some blockbuster like X2, or people will come see me in concert because I’ve been on Broadway. Everything feeds on each other. And I love having separate fan bases.

I was in Edinburgh at an Ikea recently, and this cashier recognized me from Spy Kids. It’s nice these young adults feel they have this connection with me. I must do more kids’ films soon so people will be able to recognize me again in 10 years.

Alan Cumming in this unconventional interpretation of Macbeth, set in a hospital psychiatric unit.

Q: What do you enjoy most about living in New York City?

A: I love that people are vocal and have conversations with each other—that we have to connect because we’re all on top of each other in such a small area.

Q: A:

Any favorite “discoveries”?

There’s this amazing vegetarian place, B&H Dairy, on Second Avenue.

It’s been around forever. I take people to what I call the Boom Boom Room at the Standard Hotel so they can see the view.

And on Tuesday nights, I love to go to the Westway, which is this old-school gay dance club. I could go on and on.

Q: I know that turning 50 is still a couple of years away. Still, is that a milestone you think about?

A: Not really. But I am planning to do something on Broadway in my 50th year where I’ll be dancing up a storm and being a sexpot. I love the idea that at 50, I’ll be sexier than at 21. After that, I’ll get fat, sit in a chair and eat nuts. Well, not so fat that I can’t get out of the chair to reach the nuts. But seriously, if I die tomorrow, I’d feel content about what I’ve done in both my life and work.

estored Occupying over 16 acres and hosting 11 of New York’s most prominent artistic institutions, Lincoln Center deservingly boasts the title of the largest performing arts center in the world. But in the last decade, it had become apparent that this cultural Mecca—built in the 1960s—was in need of a revival itself. Says Vice President, Public Relations Betsy Vorce, “We wanted to make sure that the physical spaces reflected the fact that we want to welcome our neighbors and fuse what goes on inside our halls with the streetscape.” It’s safe to say that the recently completed renovation, launched in 2006 with a price tag of $1.2 billion, has done just that. With a new walkway stretching across W. 65th St. and a traffic lane that once ran in front of the arts center shifted underground, the complex now feels more connected to its Upper West Side environs.

Other aspects of the project include a revamped Revson Fountain capable of choreographed, illuminated water shows and, stretched across the canted roof of Lincoln Ristorante, a tilted lawn designed by architects Diller Scofidio + Renfro that encourages people “to come and linger,” Vorce says—before or after a performance of, say, “April hath put a spirit of the new play Ann (Vivian Beaumont Theater, 150 youth in everything,” quoth W. 65th St., 212.239.6200), about Texas governor Ann Richards, or a musical masterpiece Shakespeare. But it’s not just mounted by the Metropolitan Opera (Metropolitan Opera House, Columbus Ave., btw W. 63rd the New York flora that’s & W. 64th sts., 212.362.6000), whose spring seaturning over a new leaf. All son is in full swing.

An even older icon, the Empire State Building across the city, spaces are (350 Fifth Ave., 212.736.3100) has recently uncontinually being restored, dergone a makeover from top to bottom. As part of a $550 million initiative, the building’s Art renovated and repurposed. Deco lobby—one of the few interior spaces in the

by Michael Zelenko city designated a historic landmark—has been meticulously restored. That meant the recreation of 12,000 linear feet of ornamental glasswork, the installation of two new chandeliers crafted to the specifications of the original design and a complete redo of an elaborate ceiling mural, incorporating 23-karat gold and aluminum. But the changes aren’t just skin-deep. The 102-floor skyscraper, which has been powered by renewable energy since 2011, is also undergoing a major efficiency retrofit that will have it using 38 percent less energy, saving $4.4 million annually. Add to that the recently LED-upgraded crown of lights and you’ve got New York’s most recognizable building transformed for the 21st century. But luckily, some things never change: The outdoor observation deck still offers a one-of-a-kind vista, viewable with a new day/night admission ticket included in a New York CityPASS (888.330.5008).

Nestled in the southeast corner of Manhattan, the South Street Seaport (212.732.7678) occupies one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city. Strolling under the shadows of the masted schooners still moored here, one can almost hear the gruff calls of the salty dogs who populated the area, the heart of NYC’s shipping industry, in the 19th century. More recently, the Seaport has been known as a Downtown destination, replete with restaurants, live music and IN New YORK | april 2013 | innewyork.com

colorful street vendors hawking their wares. Unfortunately, the area’s geography also made it especially vulnerable to the ravages of Hurricane Sandy last October. Massive flooding shuttered many of the area’s businesses and landmarks, including the South Street Seaport Museum (12 Fulton St., 917.492.3379). But in true New York spirit, the museum and surrounding establishments picked themselves up, dried themselves off and—though still repairing some Sandy-induced damage—reopened. As spring arrives, there’s no better place to meander and peruse the museum’s ongoing display of historic tools, watch an 1840s printing press in action at Bowne & Co. Stationers (211 Water St., 212.748.8651) or patronize one of the eateries in the Pier 17 mall, taking in views of the Brooklyn Bridge and boats plowing the harbor.

RENEWED Once a dreary area, the site of a

monolithic, shuttered convention center, the southwestern side of Columbus Circle is now home to a high-end collection of specialty retailers and Michelinrated restaurants, The Shops at Columbus Circle (Time Warner Center, 10 Columbus Circle, 212.823.6300). Sculptures by Botero and a glorious, multistoried glass wall giving out onto the Christopher Columbus monument and Central Park beyond enhance the experience of strolling its semicircular halls.

The Shops recently underwent its most significant facelift since its 2004 inception, adding 55,000 square feet of new occupants. “Fall 2012 marked the beginning of an evolution, as 10 shops and a new lounge joined the portfolio,” says R. Webber Hudson, executive vice president of Related Urban, the complex’s developer. New-

comers range from L. K. Bennett, a British women’s clothing store favored by Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton, to Center Bar, which serves small plates and savory cocktails, with a drop-dead view of Central Park West as backdrop.

The current incarnation of Studio 54 (254 W. 54th St.) as a theater is actually a return to its roots. Long before it was the disco stomping ground of celebrities such as Liza Minnelli and Andy Warhol in the 1970s, the venue was first the Gallo Opera House and later the New Yorker Theater (and, of course, a CBS broadcast studio, source of the place’s current name). But by the mid-1990s, all this illustrious history was little more than a distant, glittery memory and the building was slipping into bankruptcy. That’s when the Roundabout Theatre Company stepped in and, with its revival of the musical Cabaret, made the house legit (as showbiz folk say). Today, the 1,015seat theater, with much of its ornate 1927 detailing restored, houses several Roundabout productions a year. Tucked under the theater is a separate venue, 54 Below (254 W. 54th St., 866.468.7619), an intimate, lavish supper club that features performers with Broadway backgrounds in original cabaret acts. Headliners this month include Linda Eder (Apr. 10, 12-13) and Barbara Cook (Apr. 23-27 & 30).

REPURPOSED While some New York institutions find a second wind through restoration, others reinvent themselves from the inside out. Take the elephantine Park Avenue Armory (643 Park Ave., 212.616.3930). In the mid19th century, it was the stomping ground of the National Guard’s Seventh Regiment, known as the Silk Stocking Regiment for the well-to-do family scions who filled its ranks (think: Vanderbilts and Roosevelts). Looking more like an aristocratic social club than a military facility— what other armory boasts rooms designed by the likes of Louis Comfort Tiffany and Stanford White?—the turreted brick structure began shifting its focus from armies to artists in the mid-20th century. Taking full advantage of the cavernous 55,000-square foot Wade Thompson Drill Hall—one of the largest open interiors in the city—the

ket with the building’s industrial legacy. While staying true to its patisserie past with bakeries like Eleni’s and Sarabeth’s, the Market has gradually expanded its culinary repertoire to include fine meats (Dickson’s Farmstand), cheeses (Lucy’s Whey) and bonbons (Jacques Torres Chocolates).

Many a nightspot and restaurant occupies a repurposed space as well. Garage Restaurant & Café (99 Seventh Ave. So., 212.645.0600) was once—you guessed it—a three-port garage in Greenwich Village.

Converted into a speakeasy and theater before its current incarnation, this cozy eatery, with its elevated fireplace and automotive motif, is one of the most prolific jazz venues in town. “We have live music seven nights a week, jazz brunch on weekends and big bands on Mondays and Tuesdays. That’s 70 to 80 hours of music a week,” says owner Sal Perillo. Cipriani Wall Street (55 Wall St., 646.300.8163) is nestled in a building that was once home to, successively, the New York Merchants’ Exchange, the United States Customs House and National City Bank—a relic of a bygone era of Greek Revival architecture, with massive columns and marble floors. The site still serves Wall Street moguls and powerbrokers, although in a different capacity: wining and dining them Italian-style. Located in the southwest corner of Grand Central Terminal, the Campbell Apartment (15 Vanderbilt Ave., 212.953.0409) was once the private office and salon of Jazz Age tycoon John W. Campbell. Since 1999, the space, with a beamed ceiling, majestically crafted woodwork and stately stone fireplace, has been a cocktail lounge perfect for those looking to rediscover the elegance of Old New York. As owner Mark Grossich puts it, “I believe we have returned [the Campbell Apartment] to its circa-1920s grandeur as the ‘crown jewel’ of the terminal.”

It all goes to show that in New York City, what’s old is new again—whether thoroughly revamped or just refreshed.

“We wanted to fuse our halls with the streetscape.”—Betsy

Armory has in the last few years hosted avant-garde performances and installations such as Tom Sachs’ Space Program: Mars and Ann Hamilton’s The Event of a Thread. “We do work that is always an experience of a lifetime,” says Rebecca Robertson, the Armory’s president and executive producer.

“Everything has to be for here. If you can do it in a concert hall, don’t look at us.” The space is also known for hosting prestigious art and antiques exhibitions. Not to miss this month are The AIPAD Photography Show (Apr. 4-7), displaying and selling prints from around the world, and the 53rd annual New York Antiquarian Book Fair (Apr. 1114), bringing a bounty of rare literary works.

On the Lower West Side, running from Gansevoort to W. 30th sts., btw 10th & 11th aves., the High Line stands as the city’s most radically transformed infrastructure. Constructed in the 1930s to lift freight trains off the streets of this once-industrial neighborhood, the stretch of elevated track had succumbed to neglect and obsolescence by the 1980s. Though area property owners advocated tearing down the defunct railway, a band of residents had another idea: Transform the tracks into a usable public park. Its first stretch opened in 2009, and now the High Line is fast becoming a model for urban renewal projects around the U.S. The 1.45-mile-long pathway features unique views of the Hudson River, lounge chairs for soaking up the springtime sun and promenades fringed with native plants.

April marks the launch of High Line Food 2013, a summerlong festival of local vendors selling artisanal eats right on the elevated tracks.

The High Line runs right through several West Side buildings, including another transformed space: Chelsea Market (75 Ninth Ave., 212.243.6005). Its trains may well have serviced the original occupant, the National Biscuit Company—better known as Nabisco—which manufactured its Oreos, Saltines and Fig Newtons here well into the 1950s.

Opened in 1997 as a food-oriented shopping mall, Chelsea Market incorporates exposed brick, the original factory floors and a massive pipe crafted into a large indoor fountain to blend the vibrancy of an outdoor mar-

No one knows who originated the term “a New York minute.” But this fabled nano-moment—or as Johnny Carson put it, the interval between a Manhattan traffic light turning green and the guy behind you honking his horn—describes the local pace with breathtaking precision. Small surprise the city that never sleeps is a splendid place for health and beauty treatments designed to relax, rejuvenate and primp on the quick. Just call first, as most places require, or strongly recommend, appointments.

A chic take on time-saving is the idea behind Fix Beauty Bar (847 Lexington Ave., 2nd fl., 212.744.0800), an Upper East Side blowout and manicure salon with multitasking in its DNA. “My partner and I were always short on time and wanted a place where we could combine both services,” says Michelle Breskin, co-founder of the sevenmonth-old salon. The result: a white-on-white, 12-chair retreat, where hair is shampooed, blown and styled and nails are manicured in one simultaneous swoop. With a stylist standing behind and a manicurist perched in front, clients sit at a table outfitted with hand dryers and are out the door in 40 to 50 minutes, sporting a coif out of a look book whose options include The Jen (“simply straight”), The Kim (“big dramatic curls”) and The You (“your way or the highway”), and fashion nail colors by Chanel, Tom Ford and Dolce & Gabbana or salon stalwarts Essie and OPI. And since even speed demons value pampering, Fix

offers a complimentary coffee or a glass of wine upon arrival.

The health and beauty equivalent of small-plates dining can be found in the fast-growing array of bite-size treatments that trim the time they take but deliver the goods. At its sleekly futuristic outpost, Dermalogica in SoHo (110 Grand St., 212.219.9800) takes a deconstructionist approach, serving up an enticing menu of 20-minute MicroZone treatments that blaze past the generic minifacial and zero in on a specific skin condition, be it blackhead relief, flash exfoliation or age management. This is where to go when a blemish erupts the day before the wedding or you want a moisture boost for your face before traveling. No advance booking is needed.

A gentle head-rub can be an instant soothe, especially when it’s paired with organic conditioners and essential oils. The John Masters Organics hair care store (77 Sullivan St., 212.343.9590) offers a scalp treatment and massage that, in true New York fashion, multitasks. The halfhour experience starts with a consultation with the Left: Great Jones Spa offers a facial that simulates the tightening effects of a face-lift (at least temporarily).

treatment therapist, who determines which potions to use to help oily scalp, dandruff, split ends or frizzy hair— whatever the client needs. After a shampoo, the treatment is applied, followed by a 10-minute head, neck and shoulder massage and 10 minutes under the ionic dryer to hydrate the hair. That said, a hirsute head isn’t a prerequisite. “This feel-good treatment is great for circulation, so a bald man would love it,” founder John Masters says.

Fuller massages can also be done on the fly (relatively speaking). The need for speed is the idea behind the trio of 30-minute sessions offered at Exhale Mind Body Spa (980 Madison Ave., 212.561.6400), shortened versions of its normally 60- and 90-minute Fusion (Swedish-based),

with a vegetable-based glue and lasts about two weeks.

“If you put these on, you don’t need eye makeup,” Ahn says—an added time-saver.

More substantial improvements to appearance are possible nowadays, too—in just one visit, in fact. Dr. Jan Linhart, D.D.S., P.C. (230 Park Ave., Ste. 1164, 212.682.5180), a specialist in cosmetic and restorative dentistry, was dissatisfied with old-style tooth-whitening techniques that worked slowly and required patients to wear a nighttime device. So he developed PearlinBrite, a patented method that whitens teeth in one office visit. It uses a proprietary material that is applied to the teeth and activated by lasers or lights or both, depending on the state of the patient’s

Deep Tissue and Sports massages, aimed at busy folk who want to duck into the spa on a lunch break or between meetings. A shortened massage can be effective, especially if it’s targeted, says National Spa Director Laura Benge.

Mention that your lower back is tight, for example, and the therapist will lavish the most time on that area, but also visit your feet, arms and shoulders. Besides, “just lying down on the table, you feel that sigh of relief and already you’re letting go of your day,” Benge says.

If pairing the words “eyelash extensions” and “timesaving” seems incongruous, think again. Winks are silk extensions applied only to the outer lashes, a process done in 20 to 30 minutes—half the time of full-blown extensions, or a proverbial blink of the eye. “It’s a flirty, Marilyn Monroe look that’s great for a photo op or an event,” says Jamie Ahn, owner of Townhouse Spa (39 W. 56th St., 212.245.8006). Available in a variety of shapes and styles, a silk curl is adhered individually to each eyelash

0413_IN_F_Spa_SHIPPED.indd 30

pearlies. “People need whitening for different reasons, so we adjust the system to each person’s needs,” Dr. Linhart explains. During the 90-minute-to-two-and-a-half-hour procedure patients can sleep, listen to music through headphones or use hand-held devices. “You can’t talk on the phone, but you can text,” he says.

If the words “nonsurgical face-lift” quicken your pulse, consider the NuFace Microcurrent Facial offered by Great Jones Spa (29 Great Jones St., 212.505.3185). After applying a fruit enzyme peel and hydrating mask, the aesthetician stimulates facial muscles for 20 minutes with the NuFace Trinity, a hand-held micro-current device that emits gentle waves to relax tight muscles—which cause forehead furrows—and tighten saggy muscles around the

fast-track products As a stand-in for its oxygen-themed treatments, Bliss 49 (541 Lexington Ave., 877.862.5477) offers some takehome care. After washing your face with the Triple Oxygen Energizing Cleansing Foam (right), smooth on a handful of the Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Mask. The coral-colored gel immediately foams up; it stays on for five minutes—half the time of most facial masks—and then is washed off, leaving skin with a fresh, dewy glow.

Quick time is also built into a new product by skin care company Mineral Fusion.

The Mineral Beauty Balm (left), available at Whole Foods Market (The Shops at Columbus Circle, Time Warner Center, 10 Columbus Circle, 212.823.9600) packs four treatments into one fearless tube—a moisturizer, an antiaging treatment, a skin perfector to even out skin tones and a sunscreen. “Minerals are stable molecules that don’t react or interfere with each other, so it’s easy to layer them on in a product,” explains Tim Schaeffer, senior vice president of marketing.

jaw, chin and neck. No needles, anesthesia, incisions or recovery time, in other words. Of course, the effects aren’t permanent, wearing off within a week. But they can be maintained. Great Jones sells the NuFace Trinity; it’s “the first device [of its kind] approved for home use by the FDA,” says spa General Manager Karen Terranova.

Other facials use oxygen as the go-to ingredient to provide that “instant face-lift” effect. At Janis Chakler Skin Care (850 Seventh Ave., Ste. 406, 646.436.3518), an intimate studio tucked in a Midtown office building, the 75-minute Intraceuticals Oxygen Facial features extractions, an enzyme treatment and massage before the main event—an application of oxygen under pressure that delivers a hydrating serum to the skin with a spray nebulizer.

“The lightweight oxygen sends the ingredients deeper into the skin,” owner/aesthetician Janis Chakler explains. Clients often come in for just the 45-minute oxygen portion, known as the Oxygen Boost. “You look brighter and hydrated, and makeup goes on flawlessly,” Chakler says. “I do it on myself when I’m going out.” The effects last for several days.

King-size accommodations at the Renaissance New York Times Square

Blooming Boroughs Spring, the season of nature’s grand reawakening, has once again returned to this winter-weary city. Across the developed boroughs of our sprawling metropolis, April’s flowering effects can be felt in full force. Divina Gouvatsos, concierge at the Renaissance New York Times Square Hotel, knows how to seek out the pastoral amid an urban expanse. Wave Hill, a bucolic corner of the Bronx (at W. 249th St. & Independence Ave.) provides “a natural escape from this concrete jungle,” she says. “It’s an oasis of nature, where you’ll swear you’ve left the city, with scenic Hudson River views and manicured gardens.” If you’re in a Manhattan mind-set, “Macy’s Flower Show [thru Apr. 7] is a mandatory stop. Every year, my daughter and I explore the floral installations of indoor gardens, featuring stunning landscapes and unusual colors. The show transforms a landmark retail outlet into a vibrant, colorful dreamscape, with exotic trees and flowering plants that have the power to wow locals and visitors alike.” For those looking to cross the East River, “the Brooklyn Botanic Garden is the ideal NYC park. Unlike Central Park, it’s never crowded and really preserves nature’s blessings. Make sure you TIPS FROM: visit the Japanese Garden—the Sakura Matsuri [Cherry Divina Gouvatsos, Concierge, Blossom Festival, Apr. 27-28] is serene and amazing.”

Renaissance New York You’d do well to heed Gouvatsos’ floral finds: In a city Times Square Hotel, 714 Seventh Ave., that never sleeps, taking the time to stop and smell the 212.765.7676 roses is all the more essential.—William Frierson IV KEY TO SYMBOLS IN LISTINGS On the following pages, important features are indicated by these icons: $ inexpensive, $$ mod­erate, $$$ ex­pensive, $$$$ luxe; 2 handicap accessible; 0 gifts; 1 child friendly; 3 food/snacks; / drinks; 9 gay/lesbian patrons; 6 dress code; 5 music; . private rooms; 7 fireplace; 8 outdoor dining; 4 New York CityPASS.
