Out of Africa Before bringing down the curtain on its 2011-2012 season, the Joyce Theater, host to contemporary dance companies from the United States and around the globe for 11 months a year, welcomes San Francisco’s Smuin Ballet for a one-week engagement. Renowned for its versatility, the company presents the New York premiere of

Mikhail Baryshnikov defected to the West. Thirty-eight years after his leap to freedom, and well into his second career as an actor, he stars in a piece of fiction that mirrors his reality.

In the play In Paris (below), adapted from the novella by Ivan Bunin and performed in Russian and French at the Lincoln Center Festival, he portrays a former general in

Child’s Play The Museum of Modern Art has many works in its permanent collection that children can relate to, from Marcel Duchamp’s “Bicycle Wheel” to Andy Warhol’s “Campbell’s Soup Cans.” But not until now has the museum devoted an entire exhibition to objects designed specifically for children to use, enjoy and learn from. Among the more than 500 items are scale-model toy cars (above). More than mere playthings, these mid-20th-century vehicles embody the peace and prosperity that had displaced the despair and devastation of World War II. » Century of the Child: Growing by Design, 19002000, Museum of Modern Art, 11 W. 53rd St., 212.708.9400, thru Nov. 5

When it was announced that he would appear on the sixth and final season of Sex and the City, Mikhail Baryshnikov said, “I seem to have a tendency to do things that people think I shouldn’t do.”

Center Court On any given day during the two-week US Open, an average of 28,000 tennis fans—most of them packed into Arthur Ashe Stadium (left)­­—loudly cheer on their racket-swinging heroes and heroines. Preceded by the Australian Open, the French Open and The Championships, Wimbledon, the US Open is the final and, some would say, most competitive tournament in tennis’ annual Grand Slam. Last year, Novak Djokovic defeated Rafael Nadal for the men’s singles title, while Samantha Stosur upset Serena Williams for the women’s crown.

behind the curtain news » by Francis Lewis

Court Jester James Corden, Tony Award-winning Best Actor of 2012, has no shame. As Francis Henshall in the farce One Man, Two Guvnors (from far left, Tom Edden, Oliver Chris, Jemima Rooper, Suzie Toase, Corden), he’s Broadway’s reigning jokester. In the play, his character serves two masters; as an actor, the 33-year-old Brit is the master of two skills: ad-lib and physical comedy. At every performance, Corden selects someone from the audience to come onstage and help him move a particularly heavy trunk.

Not even Hercules could move this trunk, and certainly not Donald Trump, who was Corden’s willing victim one night in June. “Donald, you’re fired,” he told the real-estate mogul and Celebrity Apprentice honcho to a standing ovation. Afterward, he sent Trump a thankyou note, adding: “I feel you have a career on Broadway whenever you want it. I think you’d be incredible in Cats when it returns.” Cheeky. » One Man, Two Guvnors, Music Box Theatre, 239 W. 45th St., 212.239.6200

In June, Judy McLane (below, center, with Felicia Finley, left, and Lauren Cohn, right) took over the lead role of Donna Sheridan, the mother of the bride in Mamma Mia!, the ABBA musical. McLane was no stranger to the show, having played the supporting part of Tanya for seven and a half years on Broadway. However, stepping into the center spot meant more than just stepping into Donna’s sandals and 1970s-era platform shoes. Her onstage wardrobe includes two outlandish jumpsuits—the white one for Act I’s “Super Trouper” production number and the neon one for the dancing-in-the-aisles finale. Together, the costumes are glitzier than a disco ball, encrusted with a total of 13,968 stones: 2,160 glass beads, 5,136 glass stars and 6,672 Swarovski crystal beads. Mamma mia, indeed. » Mamma Mia!, Winter Garden Theatre, 1634 Broadway, 212.239.6200

High Maintenance Summertime and the living is easy.

But for Lucy the Slut and Rod (above), puppet characters in the Off-Broadway musical Avenue Q, it’s work as usual. And making sure Lucy, Rod and the other puppets—an average of 40—are in tip-top condition eight performances a week, there’s a puppet wrangler. In a backstage workshop, the wrangler takes care of minor needle-and-thread repairs, sewing on a lost button or reinforcing the rods used to manipulate the puppets’ arms. During the show, he is in

8

the wings, taking puppets from the actors as they come offstage and quickly handing them the puppet for the next scene. By necessity, the puppets are sturdy, with double stitching, reinforced seams and steel boning.

But just like humans, they can be coy.

When a reporter asks if she follows a beauty regimen to maintain her luscious hot pink complexion, the usually loquacious Lucy goes silent.

Her lips are sealed. It’s a secret. » Avenue Q, New World Stages, Stage 3, 340 W. 50th St., 212.239.6200

Arms and the Man Ancient peoples believed the gods determined which side would win a battle—but that didn’t stop them from trying to tilt the outcome with superior weapons and gear. Made of a single sheet of bronze, this sixth-century Corinthian helmet (right) closely follows the shape of the skull, then flares at the neck base, offering protection and mobility. Along with the other artifacts in Warriors, an exhibit of antiquarian armor from various cultures, it takes on a strange beauty today, separated by thousands of years from its original grim function. » Phoenix Ancient Art, 47 E. 66th St., 212.288.7518, thru Sept. 30

Old habits never die— they just adapt. If you’d been a 1920s European hostess wanting to serve traditional afternoon tea or morning cocoa, but in contemporary style, you might well have used this silver-plated set (right) from WMF (Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik), a German metalware maker that specialized in trendy goods for uppermiddle-class households. With its triangular-shaped tray and hammered honeycomblike surface, it has all the hallmarks of the contemporary Art Deco style, so you could consume tasty drinks in the best of taste. » Showplace Antique + Design Center, 40 W. 25th St., 212.633.6063

Wonderful Town “I owe a great debt to the Impressionists,” Wolf Kahn states. “However, inspiration comes even more from the changes in seasons, the hours in the day and one’s available enthusiasm.” Twenty-seven examples of his enthusiastic output, realized in oils and pastels, are on display in The City as Landscape, an exhibition that spans 50 years of the painter’s career, concentrating on the past decade. As the show’s title suggests, Kahn—who divides his time between New York City and Vermont—takes a bucolic view of the metropolis.

In “Silvery Tower” (2012), the Empire State Building stands like a gleaming tree against a blue sky; in “Overlooking the Park” (2003), Stuyvesant Park becomes a golden wheat field. The artist’s blurred brushstrokes and gentle-hued palette soften the edges of this sometimes hard-edged town, so that, in a pastel-on-paper work such as “On the Far West Side” (above, 1954), an industrial expanse of New York’s West Side Highway and waterfront comes to resemble tranquil Venice » Ameringer | McEnery | Yohe, 525 W. 22nd St., 212.445.0051, thru Aug. 17

The Life of the Rumpus Children’s book author and artist Maurice Sendak, who died this past May, was a good friend to AFA, a gallery specializing in animated and illustration art. “His creativity, artistry and raw sense of humor were unparalleled,” recalls AFA co-owner Nick Leone.

In his honor, the gallery is mounting a Maurice Sendak Retrospective of some 50 works, ranging from finished posters to sketches, including an ink/watercolor/colored pencil scene from Where the Wild Things Are (left), Sendak’s 1963 classic. There’s also a 2009 bronze sculpture (the artist’s first) of Wild Things hero Max and a sea monster. » AFA, 54 Greene St., 212.226.7374, thru Sept. 3

the after-dark scene » by William G. Frierson IV

Hedonist’s Haven The term demimonde was once reserved for only the naughtiest of night owls. Originating in mid-19th-century Europe, it was used to describe a class of men and women who—engrossed by hedonism—inhabited the fringes of polite society. They were flagrant and conspicuous, a caste of decadent pleasure-seekers looking to party hard. Today, an eponymous club (left) pays tribute to the demimonde aura and aesthetic in a dark, subterranean space with scarlet lacquer paneling and black, tufted leather upholstery.

Caviar service and original cocktails—the Jewel Box (Lillet, rum, Gentian Aperitif, pear cider) and the Whisper Campaign (Calvados, chamomile, Chartreuse, lemon, sparkling wine)—are offered. Descend into this lair and you just may be touched by a historic brand of hedonism. » Demi Monde, 90 Broad St., entrance on Stone St., 212.248.7220

Founded and financed by hip-hop mogul Jay-Z, The 40/40 Club embodies the superstar’s swagger in a big way. After a $10-million renovation, the over-the-top décor now includes hanging chandeliers and titanic video screens (which alternate between sports coverage and raunchy music videos). Glowing, tiered platforms—furnished with sleek lounge sofas—lead upstairs to a plush poolroom. Rising from the center of the bar is a monument to overindulgence: a golden pillar (right) lined with $650 bottles of Ace of Spades champagne. The namesake cocktail, 40/40, contains Stoli Vanilla, white chocolate liqueur and chocolate syrup. To quote a song title from Jay-Z: You may have “99 problems,” but this spot was designed to help you escape each and every one of them. » The 40/40 Club, 6 W. 25th St., 212.832.4040

French foodie Grimod de La Reynière said, “Everything in a pig is good. What ingratitude has permitted his name to become a term of opprobrium?” At Alobar, you can get your pig on with pork-centric snacks— Amish pig tails, maplebacon popcorn, roast pig—to accompany beers, cocktails and whiskeys.

The Bacon Bourbon Sour (above, house-infused bacon-bourbon, egg white, lemon, maple syrup) might make you oink for more.

Colorful Environs

In a vibrant room befitting the current hipness of its Lower East Side locale, The Orchard House (left) features walls painted with yellow, blue, red, orange and black stripes between strips of print wallpaper designed by street artist Shepard Fairey. Bronzed sneakers dangle from the ceiling and a transparant panel of carved birds in flight divides the front and rear dining rooms. This playful atmosphere is most conducive to sipping specialty cocktails and sampling reinvented American comfort foods. Fried pickles come with whipped sheep’s milk ricotta; succulent lamb sliders are slathered with basil-and-scallion mayo; beef is marinated for 24 hours, skewered, grilled and served with Thai basil dipping sauce. » The Orchard House, 146 Orchard St., 212.777.8600

Gastronomic Shangri-La A veritable fantasy land for serious foodies, not to mention anyone who simply happens to be very hungry, The Plaza Food Hall (right) sprawls across 40,000 fashionable square feet in which 15 purveyors offer tantalizing treats. There are savories (Tartinery, No 7 Sub, Burke in the Box, Pain d’Avignon), cooked and raw seafood (Luke’s Lobster, Sushi of Gari) and sweets (William Greenberg Desserts, FP Patisserie, La Maison du Chocolat, Three Tarts). Meals can be packed for take-out or eaten at counters or strategically placed tables. The anchor of this vast European-style market, Chef Todd English helms stations for pasta, cheese and charcuterie, Asian noodles, dumplings, brick-oven pizza and seafood. » The Plaza Food Hall, The Plaza, 1 W. 59th St., Concourse Level, 212.212.546.5499

Latin in Manhattan

Well-known Lima-based chef Jaime Pesaque has joined restaurateur Richard Sandoval to bring the exotic flavors of his homeland to NYC. The result is Raymi, an expansive space with a Latin vibe, a ceviche bar and a cocktail menu that includes pisco (Peru’s native spirit) infused with everything from purple corn to chamomile, coffee to rose-lychee. The food reflects the country’s multicultural influences—Spanish, Japanese and Chinese—and features enough fiery aji (chili pepper) to keep taste buds tap-dancing. Pan-roasted chicken breast (left), for example, rests in a creamy aji amarillo puddle. » Raymi Peruvian Kitchen & Pisco Bar, 43 W. 24th St., 212.929.1200

Days of Wine & Roses Ah, August. Though known for its heat, it carries traces of the approaching autumn: slowly shortening days, slightly cooler nights and stores displaying clothing and accessories in shades of burgundy and crimson. Even as late-summer memories are being formed, fashion has already begun to herald the changing colors of fall.

Quality IN ADDITION TO FINE ART, THE DRAW AT MANY LOCAL CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS IS NOW ALSO WORLD-CLASS FARE. By Troy Segal Sunday night, and the scene is bustling at 9-month-old Caffè Storico. Smartly clad servers deliver to the marble-topped tables cicchetti—Italy’s answer to tapas—and pastas prepared

by Chef Jim Burke, an Italian-trained, hotshot toque from Philadelphia. Patrons drink up Prosecco-based cocktails as they drink in the décor of sunshine-yellow banquettes, brass chandeliers and 15-foot-high display cases of antique china.

Where is this chic spot: a hot new hotel? A rapidly gentrifying neighborhood? No, it’s the New-York Historical Society Museum & Library (170 Central Park West, 212.873.3400).

Museum restaurants are the newest stars on the New York culinary horizon. Run by experienced restaurateurs, serving

Named for the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum’s architect, The Wright (this page) echoes Frank Lloyd Wright’s famed rotunda with its curving walls and furniture.

Some of the fare is as colorful as the museum’s masterpieces, such as Karel Appel’s 1956 oil on canvas, “The Crying Crocodile Tries to Catch the Sun” (facing page).

chef-created menus amid designer-decorated digs and tableware, in the past few years they’ve shed their identities as institutional cafeterias—“a pit-stop amenity for a captive audience,” as restaurateur Danny Meyer puts it—to become smart, stand-alone eateries (no admission to the institution required). Meyer should know: His Union Square Hospitality Group is credited with starting the trend back in 2005, with the opening of The Modern (9 W. 53rd St., 212.333.1220) for the newly renovated Museum of Modern Art. “MoMA had the foresight to support our vision for a fine-dining restaurant [that could become] a compelling destination,” Meyer recalls. Armed with its own entrance (which allows it to be open when the museum isn’t), The Modern could be mistaken for an independent venue: Nothing in the contemporary décor or Executive Chef Gabriel Kreuther’s cuisine (Alsatian small plates in the walk-in Bar Room, and French prix fixes in the Dining Room) explicitly references MoMA. The one exception: the view of the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden that runs the length of the Dining Room.

Even if it weren’t attached to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, it would be easy to guess the affiliation of The Wright (1071 Fifth Ave., 212.427.5690). Echoing the Guggenheim’s iconic funnel-like exterior—probably the most famous design of the restaurant’s namesake architect—the white-and-putty space features a series of spirals: a sweeping curvilinear wall of navy banquettes on one side, a circular bar, semicircular panels dropping from the ceiling and a horseshoe-shaped communal table. An undulating dish of oranges (one of the sole bits of brightness, along with a wall installation of orange, yellow and brown rods) sits on the bar. The circular theme even extends to the cuisine, with rings of red and yellow heirloom tomatoes swirling in the signature gazpacho.

From heirloom tomatoes to Angus skirt steak to salmon caviar, sumptuous items comprise The Wright’s contemporary American fare, in keeping with its mantra to be a lunch and brunch “high-end destination, not just a place to eat after a museum visit,” Director Justin Hollander says. Still, he admits, business is “driven by the museum—when it’s busy, we do great; when they’re installing a new show, we’re quiet.” So, he and

Executive Chef Rodolfo Contreras work closely with the Guggenheim, attending staff meetings and dovetailing new dishes with exhibit openings. For example, Art of Another Kind (thru Sept. 12), a 1949 to 1960 survey of abstractionism, debuted in June, “just in time for the summer menu” featuring organic Scottish salmon and local strawberry shortcake.

Unlike the Guggenheim, The Morgan Library & Museum didn’t have to design a dining spot in its image—one came with the property, so to speak. The museum is located in Pierpont Morgan’s Murray Hill mansion and library, and the daytime-only Morgan Dining Room (225 Madison Ave., 212.683.2130) is actually the 1850s room where the family took its meals (gilded-frame portraits of several of them dot the bright white, paneled walls). The Morgans would still recognize much of the room, with its molded cornices and an ornate fireplace at one end featuring five types of marble—though the contemporary Italian gray and orange seating, and tables on brushed metal pedestals, might startle their Victorian sensibilities.

A combination of classic and contemporary characterizes the cuisine as well. Much of it is seasonal, seafoodoriented fare, such as lobster salad and yellowfin tuna tartare. Other dishes hark back to turn-of-the-20-century

From food to films, American arts are celebrated at the Whitney Museum, in Untitled’s coffee-shop fare (above) and exhibited works, such as Oskar Fischinger’s “Raumlichtkunst” video (below).

favorites, such as crab cakes (for brunch) and chicken paillard. Ever mindful of a museum’s educational role, the menus contain historical references to three-martini lunches and 15th-century typefaces. Often, there are dishes that tie in to The Morgan’s exhibits of drawings and documents. In honor of Churchill: The Power of Words (thru Sept. 23), a plate of English cheeses and biscuits, served with Theakston Old Peculier Ale, is on offer in the adjacent atrium Café; the cocktail menu features an English cucumber gimlet and The Modern Statesman (a whiskey-vermouth-Cointreau concoction). “Our goal is to complement the services of the museum,” says the restaurant’s Director of Operations Patricia Japngie. “People

like to have culturally rich endeavors—see the exhibits, shop in the boutique, eat—all under one roof.”

Coexistence can provide challenges, as Executive Chef Chris Bradley discovered in initiating the eatery Untitled (945 Madison Ave., 212.570.3670) for the Whitney Museum of American Art in 2011. He went from an 11-oven kitchen at Gramercy Tavern to one and a half in a space whose “footprint was set. We couldn’t knock down museum walls” to create a bigger kitchen, he recalls. Undaunted—he’s been known to personally transport via subway apple pies and buckets of dill pickles—Chef Bradley offers a farm-to-table menu of New York coffee-shop classics: Greek salads, roast turkey sandwiches, omelets

and buttermilk pancakes (served, in coffee-shop tradition, all day long). Rarely changing, Untitled’s menu doesn’t tie into Whitney exhibits (though, as Bradley notes, both have an American theme), but the modernistic space does.

When a show is on, works of art are displayed—one of artist Yayoi Kusama’s characteristic, colorful installations of polka-dotted patterns hangs from the ceiling now, from her one-woman exhibit (thru Sept. 30)—a gentle hint for diners to ascend the stairs to the museum above.

Visitors to Robert (2 Columbus Circle, 9th fl., 212.299.7730) take the opposite path: The sleek, spaceage-like venue occupies the top floor of the Museum of Arts and Design, a perch that affords postcard-perfect views of Central Park and Columbus Circle. Open outside museum hours—dinner is often busier than lunch, in fact—Robert seems more independent than its counterparts: The décor displays no museum art (though, with its sculptural steel cocktail tables and mobile-like, illuminated pink and orange Lucite lighting fixtures, the interior is an exemplar of high design); the Mediterranean-influenced American menu doesn’t feature exhibition tie-ins (though Executive Chef Luisa Fernandes emphasizes artful plating in dishes such as grilled branzino or tuna carpaccio pizza).

Still, “we help people discover the museum and vice ver-

sa,” says General Manager Ana Harris. Servers wear watches, and Harris often sports jewelry, from the gift shop. Dinner guests receive passes to visit the museum another day. Schooled in the current shows, the staff will happily discuss details about exhibits, such as Changing Hands: Art Without Reservation,3 (thru Oct. 21). Plus, “as you’re riding up to us, every time the elevator stops on a floor you get a teasing two-second commercial of the collections,” Harris says.

It’s the cuisine that reflects the collections at Serai (150 W. 17th St., 212.620.5000), the new venue set off by copper-colored columns in the lobby of The Rubin Museum of Art, which is devoted to the Himalayas. Conceived by Executive Chef Ali Loukzada, it’s an intriguing mixture of delicately spiced specialties from Himalayan nations— primarily India, but also Tibet, China and Nepal—served with one’s choice of silverware or bamboo chopsticks. “I wanted to bring my feeling, my roots to the restaurant,” says Chef Loukzada, who is of Indian heritage. “‘Serai’ means ‘stopover’ in Persian, a historical resting place for caravans along the trading routes. In creating the menu, I brainstormed by walking through the galleries, wondering what would provide a calming respite.” Cooking at a museum carries some difficulties, admits Chef Loukzada, IN New YORK | august 2012 | innewyork.com

multi-armed Ganesh statue, part of the Masterworks: Jewels of the Collection exhibit (thru Jan. 7, 2013) sparked the addition of an octopus salad to the summer menu.

Similarly, the menu reinforces the mission at El Museo del Barrio’s El Café (1230 Fifth Ave., 212.831.7272). El Museo sees its mandate as familiarizing people with not just Latino art, but all aspects of Latino culture, including

who previously was sous-chef at Buddakan restaurant. Because of its proximity to precious artifacts, his kitchen can’t have an open-flame grill or gas burner (he uses an induction stove instead). But the masterpieces provide inspiration, too. The ample belly of a Buddha statue “reminded me of a plump tomato,” leading to the Buddhist Tomato Salad, garnished with fresh cilantro leaves; a

food. El Café serves a Pan-Latin bill of fare—from hot dishes, which are designed by a Mexican-born chef, to packaged goods, such as the Central and South Americanimported sodas, wines and candies displayed at the front of the casual but cheerful space. Along with standards

Members of the Morgan family once took their meals in what is now The Morgan Dining Room (facing page, below right), which sometimes offers dishes tied to The Morgan Museum & Library exhibits, such as the current Josef Albers in America: Painting on Paper that displays the artist’s “Color Study for White Line Square” (below).

such as pastelón de carne (a.k.a. the Puerto Rican lasagna), the menu features fare from lands highlighted in the museum’s shows. For example, in coordination with the current 500-work exhibition, Caribbean: Crossroads of the World (thru Jan. 16, 2013), this month’s specials include chaya tamales with hot pepper sauce from Belize and roasted jerk chicken from Jamaica.

“Much like great art, food unites us, brings us together,” El Museo del Barrio Executive Director Margarita Aguilar says. “A restaurant is another way of making you come through the door—and stay the whole day.”

The illuminated pool at Plunge Rooftop Bar & Lounge.

Rem koolhaas, architect and theorist, calls it the metropolitan paradox: “The greater the distance from the earth, the closer the communication with what remains of nature.” Indeed, upwardbound visitors to Manhattan can breathe rarefied air, gaze at the horizon and revel in pleasures unavailable to those on terra firma.

We seem to have a primal need to ascend to the summit. Dr. Charles Goodstein, a clinical professor of psychiatry at New York University Medical Center, explains it this way: “When standing on the top, looking down, one has a sense of mastery.”

This feeling of control, he speculates, stems from an infant’s self-perception as small and weak, especially when looking up at giant parents. “The memory of having been awed remains as part of the unconscious mental life. As an adult, the sense of smallness can be overcome by becoming taller than anyone via residence in the highest floor in the tallest building,” says Dr. Goodstein.

A lookout point such as Top of the Rock (30 Rockefeller Plaza, 212.698.2000) affords that feeling of conquest. After an elevator ride that takes

only 50 seconds to climb to the 67th floor of the GE Building, visitors step out onto open-air terraces, some enclosed by safety glass. Others, on the 70th floor, are totally, thrillingly exposed, offering unobstructed views in all directions.

“The ambition to erect the world’s tallest building is as old as the ages, whether it be a pyramid in ancient Egypt or a Gothic cathedral in medieval Europe,” says Carol Willis, founder, director and curator of The Skyscraper Museum (39 Battery Pl., 212.968.1961). Certainly, New York City architects, for whom the sky is literally the limit, raise the roof whenever possible. William Baker, partner in charge of structural engineering at architects Skidmore Owings & Merrill, says “gravitating up” is innate. “If there is a hill, it’s human nature. We want to go to the top.” A “hill” that New Yorkers and visitors alike are looking forward to climbing is One World Trade Center, which his firm is currently building in the footprints of the original Twin Towers, destroyed on 9/11. Projected to open in 2013, the structure will rise a patriotic 1,776 feet, capped by an outdoor observation platform.

A nocturnal view of the skyline from Top of the Rock.

Being high up, though, is a double-edged sword. “From a feng shui perspective, it is traditional to be sited in a high place—a commanding position—to see what is coming at you,” says Judith Wendell, founder of Sacred Currents, a New York company dedicated to creating well-balanced home and work environments.

“But not too high,” she adds. “You must still feel protected from behind, and not have your back exposed.” The Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden on top of the relatively low-lying, two-story Metropolitan Museum of Art (1000 Fifth Ave., 212.535.7710) is one such ideal spot, according to Wendell. It is favored with great energy, she maintains, and successfully blends the clean air of Central Park, which it overlooks, with the world-class culture of the museum’s collections. “It uses the ‘chi’ of the art and the ‘chi’ of the park, making for a most auspicious circumstance—the blending of heart and mind,” she says. Visitors can go even higher when enjoying artist Tomás Saraceno’s Cloud City (thru Nov. 24), a constellation of supersized three-dimensional polygons, parts of which are fitted with mirrors, that visitors can climb through. The reflected skyline is turned on its head through the mirrored modules, making the experience somewhat surreal.

Sky-high addresses promise not only peace and beauty, but also glamour and exclusivity. That may be why rooftop bars and restaurants proliferate in summer, with new venues making their debuts and established ones enjoying their busiest season.

Seventeen stories above its petit namesake park, the recently

30

renovated Gramercy Terrace (Gramercy Park Hotel, 2 Lexington Ave., 18th fl., 212.920.3300) serves breakfast, lunch, brunch and cocktails in an arborlike atmosphere, full of plants and turn-ofthe-last-century-style chic. Across town, Plunge Rooftop Bar & Lounge (Gansevoort Meatpacking NYC, 18 Ninth Ave., 14th fl., 212.206.6700) offers drinks, nibbles and views of the illuminated hotel pool, as New Jersey sparkles in the background. A few blocks north, La Piscine (Hôtel Americano, 518 W. 27th St., 10th fl., 212.525.0000), serves Mediterranean fare alongside its namesake lap pool. At Jimmy (The James New York, 15 Thompson St., 18th fl., 212.201.9118), the after-5 p.m. crowd enjoys 18-storyhigh views of Lower Manhattan and cocktails concocted by master mixologist Johnny Swet. Near Battery Park, Loopy Doopy (Conrad New York, 102 North End Ave., 16th fl., 212.945.0100) sends visitors to cloud nine via a combination of sweeping Statue of Liberty views and Proseccos on tap.

Midtown hotel venues offer especially thrilling vistas. Patrons of the Rooftop Terrace (Renaissance New York Hotel 57, 130 E. 57th St., 17th fl., 212.753.8841) can lounge on Fornasetti pillows, consuming kiwi caipirinhas and lobster sliders within sight of the crystal-clear Chrysler Building. The View (New York Marriott Marquis, 1535 Broadway, 48th fl., 212.704.8900), the city’s only revolving lounge, makes a full 360º turn every 58 minutes, encompassing horizons to the north, south, east and west.

212.380.1195)—purportedly Manhattan’s highest aerie, rising 400 feet above sea level—the LED-illuminated spaces feature retractable roofs and new tents, so a sudden summer storm won’t spoil the party. Closer to the ground, R Lounge at Two Times Square (Renaissance New York Hotel, 714 Seventh Ave., 2nd fl., 212.261.5200) provides a bird’s-eye view of the neon lights and theatergoing throngs via floor-to-ceiling windows.

The View offers an ever-revolving vista of horizon and high-rises.

Cloud City is the Iris and B.Gerald Cantor Roof Garden’s current exhibit.

Center (Broadway at W. 60th St.)—Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola and the Allen Room—have walls of glass, allowing Central Park and Columbus Circle to play backup to musicians onstage. And there are movies. Rooftop Films (718.417.7362) hosts a nocturnal series of indie films (thru Aug. 18) preceded by live music at various open-air venues, including the Old American Can Factory, a 19th-century structure overlooking Brooklyn’s Gowanus Canal.

As for physical pursuits, on the fourth floor of Grand Central Terminal, the Vanderbilt Tennis Club (15 Vanderbilt Ave., 212.599.6500) sports a court with huge circular windows; fair warning—the drop-dead panorama down Park Avenue might make it hard to keep your eye on the ball. West Village restaurant Bell Book and Candle (141 W. 10th St., 212.414.2355) offers tours on demand of its aeroponic tower garden atop its 100-yearold building, which produces a healthy chunk of the “rooftop-totable” cuisine, as Chef John Mooney calls it. Tomatoes, strawberries and mixed greens get harvested, placed in a bucket, and then

hoisted down to the kitchen window. Eagle Street Rooftop Farm (44 Eagle St., Greenpoint, Brooklyn, rooftopfarms.org) blooms atop a warehouse. A 6,000-square-foot vegetable garden (and home to two hens, a rooster and two hives of honeybees), it’s open to the public on Sunday afternoons, for those who’d like to take a turn tending radishes and lettuces.

If all that sounds too taxing, the city offers elevated places to simply sit. Day or night, visitors can perch on the glowing rubyred steps atop the TKTS discount ticket booth at Broadway and W. 47th St. and observe Times Square from 16 feet above the sidewalk. Similarly, at Lincoln Center, the Illumination Lawn, a 7,203-square-foot verdant triangle on the roof of Lincoln Ristorante, stretches like a magic carpet of grass amid the white buildings, providing prime turf for people watching.

Whatever your motivation—feeling powerful or finding Zen, seeking a drink or soaking up art—the metropolitan paradox awaits. All you have to do is head to the top.

Children Allowed Along with the Children’s Museum of Manhattan and other kids-focused museums, consider traditional bastions of art and history when planning an outing with the 4-to-11-year-old set, says Sarah McArdle, concierge at The Carlyle, A Rosewood Hotel. “Many museums make the experience interactive and fun, and children don’t even realize they’re learning.” At the Museum of Modern Art, kids can pick up Material Bingo Cards, which get them to look closely at the materials used in designated artworks. The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s information desk has family-friendly maps and games, such as Creature Features, which takes young visitors on a hunt for the beasties depicted in the Arts of Africa, Oceania and the Americas galleries.

Stepping into the past is on the agenda at The NewYork Historical Society, where interactive exhibits teach 19th-century skills, such as embroidery and penmanship. In addition, on child-friendly guided tours, “the docents tend to be very animated,” says McArdle. At the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum’s Sunday afternoon sessions, for example, the guides “get TIPS FROM: the kids involved by asking questions and prompting Sarah McArdle, Concierge, The a discussion.” The New York Transit Museum in Carlyle, A Rosewood Brooklyn offers a variety of weekend family programs.
