What’s trending on the foodie scene by Lois Levine

So, you want to drink up some local flavor in TriBeCa, arguably the city’s hippest ’hood? Maman Tribeca is your go-to. (2349 Centre St., 212.226.0700). With old French postal carts repurposed into benches, raw blended green juices made with grains and special croque mamans, this place conveys trendiness without attitude. If you’re hankering for sublime fried chicken and champagne, visit the (appropriately named) Birds & Bubbles (100B Forsyth St., 646.368.9240). P.S.: The restaurant is divided into two slivered, subterranean rooms that require using a very narrow, steep set of stairs. Before catching “Fidder on the Roof,” I loved visiting the cavernous and glamorously revamped Blue Fin (1567 Broadway, 212.918.1400), where I oohed and aahed about both the hamachi and the abstract sculpture of fish suspended above the towering staircase. Once upon a time, it was the storied Café des Artistes. Now, the restaurant has been reborn as The Leopard at des Artistes (1 W. 67th St., 212.787.8767), with a restoration of the Howard Chandler Christy murals and a southern Italian menu. And speaking of Italians, I flirted shamelessly with one such gentleman sitting next to me at L’Amico (849 Sixth Ave., 212.201.4065), the bustling Laurent Tourondel brasserie. After eyeing his skirt steak with Parmesan-creamed escarole, I suffered the worst case of post-order regret I‘ve ever known.

The waltz king is back. Ken Watanabe (above, with Kelli O’Hara) returns to “The King and I” March 1 thru April 17. Watanabe originated the role of the King of Siam in the Lincoln Center Theater revival last spring and was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical. | “The King and I,” Vivian Beaumont Theater at Lincoln Center, 150 W. 65th St., 212.239.6200

Casting Coup

Actor Forest Whitaker (left), who makes his Broadway debut in Eugene O’Neill’s “Hughie,” relishes complex characters. “For every role I take,” he says, “I try to strip away all the layers that the writer has created around a character and get down to his fundamental essence—to discover what drives him at his core. For such a gifted writer like O’Neill, there are likely more layers to unravel, so the process has the potential to be more challenging and more rewarding.” And what has Whitaker discovered about “Erie” Smith, the 1920s gambler, alcoholic and teller of tales he plays in “Hughie”? He’s “someone who at the beginning has lost his identity and his reason to live. He doesn’t know who he is anymore or why he exists. But you find inside he has a very big heart. He keeps trying, and that spirit he has is something we all look for today.” | “Hughie,” Booth Theatre, 222 W. 45th St., 212.239.6200

1970s Redux

A youthful “obsession” (his word) with natural disasters has led Sirius XM radio host Seth Rudetsky to “Disaster!,” the Broadway musical comedy whose book he co-wrote and in which he stars (above) as disaster expert Ted Scheider. Imagine, as Rudetsky has, every 1970s movie featuring earthquakes, fires, tidal waves, piranhas, bees and sharks set to a hit parade of rock, pop and disco songs from that era (his “favorite music in the world”). “When ‘Earthquake’ came out in Sensurround in 1974, I finally [experienced] an earthquake,” Rudetsky confesses. “I was always hoping for one. Horrible, but I didn’t know any better: I lived in New York.” | “Disaster!,” Nederlander Theatre, 208 W. 41st St., 877.250.2929

THE RETAIL SCENE by Joni Sweet

A Step Up

Swedish Takeover This city has an appetite for Scandinavia. The region has already left its mark on the local dining scene with the first Nordic food festival in 2015 and the continued popularity of restaurants like Aquavit. Now, it’s poised to influence NYC fashion with Acne Studios’ new shop in the West Village. The Stockholm-based brand boasts cool men’s and women’s apparel (like the jackets, above) in geometric cuts. Shoppers will also find minimalist leather sneakers, futuristic sunglasses with bold frames, and bucket bags that cinch with belt buckles. | Acne Studios, 54-60 Eighth Ave., 212.633.0002

Shoppers will find Repetto’s signature ballerina flats in every color of the rainbow at its recently opened SoHo boutique, but the French shoe brand is debuting some fancy new styles at the store this season. This “Virgin Tutu” sandal, for example, combines dancer-esque white ostrich feathers with rockstar-ready studs and black kidskin suede for the ultimate foot fashion statement. Complete your look with the store’s small selection of dreamy, gauzy apparel. | Repetto, 400 W. Broadway, 917.999.0501

Fit for a King Ready to feel like royalty? Head to the Mansion on Madison to shop at the New York Trunk Clubhouse, which offers men personal styling sessions. Shoppers try on casual and formal apparel from more than 80 top brands, like Theory, Barbour and Vince, in luxurious fitting lounges designed by fashion houses like John Varvatos and DL1961 (right). The best part is that they ship the final look (made of 10-12 pieces) right to your door— no extra suitcase necessary. | New York Trunk Clubhouse, 457 Madison Ave., 646.780.5310

Barneys Is Back! More than 20 years after bidding farewell to its original home in Chelsea, Barneys New York returns to the neighborhood where it was founded in 1923. The five-story shopping mecca (which occupies nearly a full city block) offers ready-to-wear apparel for men and women, accessories, cosmetics and shoes galore. It’s all anchored by a vast spiral staircase, the focal point of the store. | Barneys New York, 101 Seventh Ave., 646.264.6400

Irish Spirit

Playful Library

Choose your own adventure at The Dead Rabbit Grocery and Grog, an award-winning Irish saloon in the Financial District. You can have a classic Irish pub experience by drinking a beer at the downstairs taproom, where sawdust covers the floor, or try communal punch, small plates and legendary cocktails (the bar’s own renditions of classic recipes from 1850-1900) at the upstairs parlor. No matter which space you choose to cozy up in, this bar is a must-visit on any trip to the Big Apple. | The Dead Rabbit Grocery and Grog, 30 Water St., 646.422.7906

While chess sets, luxe leather sofas and a crackling fireplace at the Hudson Hotel’s Library Bar set a sophisticated atmosphere, the lounge doesn’t take itself too seriously. Gorgeous black-andwhite portraits of cows wearing Chanel hats hung around the establishment and the royal purple pool table with a UFO-esque dome overhead add a playful touch to the library. Try the maple mojito for a spring twist on a classic summer cocktail that shows off the bartenders’ creativity. | Library Bar, 356 W. 58th St., 212.554.6217

Shanghai Speakeasy A dark, tiny bar with no sign contains a little Chinese secret: baiju. Though most Americans have never heard of it, baiju is one of the most consumed liquors in the world and it’s the focus at Lumos. The bar makes the grain-based Chinese spirit more palatable in innovative cocktails, like the Dirty Martini (left, Shui Jing Fang baiju, Chinese pickled brine and salted plum). On weekends, head to the exclusive back room for Shanghai-style burlesque and belly dancing. | Lumos, 90 W. Houston St., 646.692.9866

Paddle Pros

Late nights of drinking and pong shed their frat boy image at SPiN, a social Ping-Pong club co-owned by actress Susan Sarandon. Games here consist of totally addictive competitions among friends with cocktails in hand. The space itself sets a cool mood, with live DJs, selfie stations and paintings by local artists. Costumes are encouraged (think: cheesy ‘80s athletic wear), especially on Friday nights during the “Dirty Dozen” tournament and dance contest. | SPiN, 48 E. 23rd St., 212.982.8802

The wacky and wonderful Jane Krakowski lights up Broadway in a revival of the classic ”She Loves Me.”

t’s hard to imagine New York without the glamour of Broadway. And now, the Great White Way is made even more dazzling because Jane Krakowski, the Tony Award winner and Emmy Award nominee, is starring in the Roundabout Theatre Company’s revival of “She Loves Me,” starting March 17. BY BOB Television fans are familiar with her sassy, offbeat comedic and musical skills as vain starlet Jenna Maroney on “30 Rock,” Elaine Vassal on “Ally McBeal” and, most recently, on the Netflix sitcom “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.” But despite her small-screen success, Krakowski admits that at heart she is a child of the theater. “The Broadway community has been my theatrical family for a very long time,” says the Manhattan-based comedienne. “It’s sort of how I got my start here in the city, and I’m always thankful and grateful to be welcomed back.” In fact, Krakowski took on the role of Ilona in “She Loves Me” because of a sentimental attachment to the Roundabout, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. “This is my third production with them,” she says. “I was lucky enough to be in the revival of ‘Company’ and then ‘Nine.’ They’ve been a very large part of my theatrical world, so when there was a part that was right for me in what they were doing this year, I was eager to say yes!” No one could ever say the hardworking Krakowski hasn’t earned her theatrical success. After all, she’s been dreaming about the stage ever since she was a girl. She was born Jane Krajkowski on Oct. 11, 1968, in Parsippany-Troy Hills, New Jersey, the daughter of chemical engineer Ed Krajkowski and his wife, Barbara, a college theater instructor who was also a producing artistic director for the Women’s Theater Company. With those bloodlines, it was hard to avoid the stage. “If we were in the city and the choice was to sit in traffic in the Holland Tunnel or go get standing-room tickets to a show,” she recalled, “my parents would always choose the show, and wait for the traffic to pass. “So I was very lucky. I saw a lot of shows that greatly influenced me—standing room only,” she laughs. “I was 4, 6, 8 years old. Very influential years, where you’re not even sure if this is what you want to do yet. “I have very clear memories of seeing ‘A Chorus Line,’ and ‘Chicago,’ with Chita Rivera. When I was 9 years old, I sat in a third-row aisle seat when she was in it. At the end, she threw me a rose—and, of course, I never forgot it.” Thus inspired, the young Jane immersed herself in her craft. Besides studying dance and voice, she did a lot of homework. “Back in the day, my father would VCR the Tony Awards, and I would memorize all the different numbers and the songs. It was my great passion.” Before long, she was working in movies, including a memorably cringe-inducing scene in “National Lampoon’s Vacation” when she was 14. The following year, she made her

first mark on TV on the daytime drama “Search for Tomorrow.” Soon she transferred to the Professional Children’s School before attending Rutgers University. Krakowski kept racking up plaudits for her work in shows like “Starlight Express” when she was only 18, and earning a Tony nomination for her role as Flaemmchen in 1989’s “Grand Hotel.” To her surprise, she was starting to get CANNON noticed—in a uniquely New York way. “Right after I did ‘Grand Hotel,’ I actually was in the New York Post: Page Six reported that I was at a party in Central Park— when I was actually in Toronto filming a movie. I wasn’t even in the country!” A few years later, she got a double dose of that notoriety when “Ally McBeal” put her face on national TV. “That was the first time I felt the range of a national television audience. I clearly remember driving to work, and on my car radio, people were analyzing the episode that had aired the night before. I remember thinking, ‘Oh wow, this is different than anything I’ve been a part of,’ and it ultimately did become what they call a ‘watercooler show.’” A few years later, in 2003, it all came full circle. “I had an amazing experience on my first day of rehearsal for ‘Nine,’” she remembers. “I got to meet Chita Rivera, because I was now in the show with her.” Thinking back to the night the Broadway legend threw her a rose, Krakowski says, “To get to work with her all those years later was surreal, one of those bucket-list kind of dreams come true.” Besides being known for her film and TV work, she gives back to the Broadway community by working with the Alzheimer’s Association, the American Foundation for AIDS Research, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and the Elton John AIDS Foundation. Appearing in “She Loves Me” gives Krakowski the opportunity to stay local. Most of her time off is devoted to her son, Bennett, who turns 5 in April. “It’s wonderful that I have the opportunity to raise him among all the cultural wonders of New York City,” she says. “I took him to see ‘The Lion King.’ It was his second Broadway show. ‘Aladdin’ was his first. So I’m slowly working him through the Disney catalog.” With a laugh, she adds, “Then we’ll move on to ‘She Loves Me.’” As far as Jane’s favorite neighborhoods, “I’m a Downtown girl,” she explains. “I think [Stephen] Sondheim once said that once you move Downtown you never go above 14th Street. I stay very local to my neighborhood, and I do everything around the West Village and SoHo.” She has seen the city at night, working on Broadway, and then again in the wee hours, when she’s working on television. “I love its quiet moments. There’s a beauty to the city early in the morning that I enjoy. “And yet, even at 5 am it takes them too long at Starbucks to make my coffee.” Then, with a quick chuckle, she adds, “See? I’m a true New Yorker.” IN NEW YORK | MARCH 2016 | INNEWYORK.COM

Visiting a museum for the first time can make your head spin. Where do you begin? And what if you have just 30 minutes to navigate a century of American art or more than 2,000 years of civilization? One strategy is aim for the stars—the superstar pieces that changed the course of art, are so familiar they cry out to be seen in person or just make your heart beat a little faster. Only the Louvre has the “Mona Lisa,” but every world-class museum has its own must-see masterpieces guaranteed to thrill and nourish newcomers and repeaters alike. We asked leading authorities from five of New York City’s top museums to choose three must-see masterworks from the permanent collection currently on view and tell us why they’re too good to miss. We start at the 147-year-old American Museum of Natural History, because the oldest museum of the group

boasts the newest must-see attraction in town—the titanosaur, a 122-foot-long cast of a 20-ton herbivore that went on view in January. “It’s so big they had to have the head of the dinosaur swoop out the doorway and come into the next hall,” says Bradley Harris, Senior Director of Visitor Services. Based on 84 fossil bones excavated in Patagonia in 2014, the life-size fiberglass cast took over six months to construct. Far bigger than the T. rex, the

artist’s sharply observed kinetic sculpture from 1926-31. Noting the importance of performance in art today, Miller cites Calder as one of the first artists to incorporate performance into sculpture. “This work is something he brought to life. And it’s a joy. There’s so much humor, some of it cheeky.” Citing the figure of Fanny, the belly dancer, she observes, “You turn a screw, and she gyrates. I think sometimes people think of a museum as a place of

museum’s other marquee dino, the massive plant eater would have weighed as much as 10 African elephants. That’s a lot but not as much as the 200-ton blue whale depicted by a 94-foot-long cast in the Milstein Hall of Ocean Life. “Our blue whale is spectacular, and I think it’s quite unusual to see something of that size suspended from the ceiling,” Harris says. And since we’re talking superlatives, Harris suggests a stop at his favorite area, the North American Hall of Mammals, home to the Alaskan brown bear. “It’s interesting to see these creatures that live on the same continent as we do. And the dioramas are beautiful. They’re art in and among history and science.” Compelling seems an apt term for the three standout works by Alexander Calder, Edward Hopper and Georgia O’Keeffe that Dana Miller, Richard DeMartini Family Curator and Director of the Collection at the Whitney Museum of American Art, calls “iconic in terms of what’s on view now from the permanent collection.” All three are prescient. Consider “Calder’s Circus,” the

quiet contemplation, but it’s also a place for laughter and a great sense of humor.” As befits an artist closely associated with the Whitney, Miller calls Hopper one of the quintessential American artists. “Buildings don’t look like that in Paris,” she says of “Early Sunday Morning,” his moody streetscape from 1930. “It happens to be Seventh Avenue [in Manhattan], but because he’s removed any identifying details, it looks like any American main street before there are any signs of life. It’s interesting to think of the painting as a precursor of midcentury abstraction,” she adds, noting the geometric bands of color delineating the sky, bricks and storefronts. Of “Summer Days,” a 1936 synthesis of realism and dreamlike imagery that O’Keeffe painted in Taos, New Mexico, Miller observes, “O’Keeffe put this painting on the cover of her autobiography, so in many ways you can think of this as a self-portrait in the landscape in which she was most comfortable.” A concise history of modern art can be gleaned from IN NEW YORK | MARCH 2016 | INNEWYORK.COM

Elsewhere, the origins of Cubism are impossible to miss in “Les Demoiselles d’Avignon,” Pablo Picasso’s grand-scale 1907 painting of five naked women with menacing, masklike faces. In this radical break from the traditional depiction of figures, “Picasso wasn’t trying to make this realistic. He wanted to show you everything about the women at the same time,” Johnson explains. “What’s great about MoMA is there are other Cubist pictures nearby, so you can see how Picasso developed Cubism all in one gallery.” Another unprecedented masterstroke is “Bicycle Wheel,” a 1951 version of Marcel Duchamp’s iconic 1913 ready-made wheel planted atop a painted stool. Duchamp had used the term “ready-made” to explain the commercial objects in his work.“By using mass-produced objects, Duchamp subverted the idea of the artist as a creator of original art and made the idea of what constitutes art as important as the object itself,” Johnson says. Though 20th-century paintings form the core of the

Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the collection begins with Camille Pissarro’s “The Hermitage at Pontoise,” ca. 1867, a precursor of modern art that eschewed the conventions of traditional academic painting. “Pissarro depicted a class of people that critics would have deemed vulgar,” says Megan Fontanella, Associate Curator, Collections and Provenance. Also of note is the painting’s peripatetic past: The famous art dealer Justin K. Thannhauser spirited it out of Nazi Germany for an art

the three showstoppers at the Museum of Modern Art selected by Meagan Johnson, Director of Membership and Visitor Services. Calling Vincent van Gogh’s “The Starry Night” from 1889 “a beautiful picture that people need to see,” Johnson points to the painting’s pronounced psychological underpinnings which befuddled the artist’s contemporaries. “He painted it while he was at SaintPaul asylum. The inspiration came from his observation of the world but also his imagination.”

show touring South America before fleeing the country himself. He later donated 75 important works to the Guggenheim, including the Pissarro. With over 150 works in the collection, Russian modernist Vasily Kandinsky is synonymous with the Guggenheim. Fontanella directs us to her favorite example, “Blue Mountain” from 1908-09. Recalling the first time she saw it, Fontanella says, “I remember being struck by the intensity of the jewellike colors, best witnessed firsthand

as opposed to in reproduction. The horse-and-rider motif symbolizes Kandinsky’s belief in the transformative powers of art (the horse carrying the rider toward a more utopian future), as well as the artist’s endeavors to break with conventional aesthetics. By 1913, Kandinsky’s paintings would be completely abstract and would help change the trajectory of art.” Also not to be missed: “Woman Ironing,” a melancholic 1904 Blue Period painting by Picasso. And one with a

erico da Montefeltro’s studio, an exquisite room that looks like a fully furnished interior but is made entirely of intarsia, an elaborate form of wood inlay. “The illusionism is taken to a virtuoso level, with thousands of pieces of various kinds of wood fitted together to form an extraordinary result,” he says. As for Vermeer, the 17th-century Dutch artist created just 36 paintings, but five are housed at the Met, including the luminous young woman holding a pitcher. Drawing attention to the masterfully structured composition and the ingenious way light enters the room, Campbell declares the little painting “a simple scene invested with poetic truth.” And poetry, all these works are.

secret. Due to limited finances, the young Picasso often reused his canvases. “In the late 1980s, a conservation study identified a portrait of a standing man beneath the laundress one sees today,” says Fontanella. Note the telltale drips of paint from the underlying canvas near the woman’s head. Not long after Thomas P. Campbell became Director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, he handpicked 35 highlights for an audio tour, a lifeline for those confounded by the encyclopedic collection on view. Three dependable dazzlers are the 2,000-year-old Temple of Dendur, the 15th-century Studiolo from the Ducal Palace in Gubbio and Johannes Vermeer’s “Young Woman With a Water Pitcher” from 1662-63. Of Dendur, a gift to the American people for helping save Egyptian monuments from flooding in the 1960s, Campbell calls the “small but impressive” temple that once stood on the bank of the Nile a way for visitors “to experience an Egyptian temple in New York.” To sample the trompe l’oeil splendors of a Renaissance Italian’s private retreat, the director dispatches us to FedIN NEW YORK | MARCH 2016 | INNEWYORK.COM

More than ever, museums, shops and restaurants are capitalizing on the latest technology. Welcome to the Digital Apple. By Ashley Schneider

nce upon a time, in the land of travelers, the latest travel technology consisted of little more than a curved pillow that better enabled sleep on airplanes. Now, from websites to apps, technology facilitates nearly every aspect of travel planning. Well, the technofun doesn’t stop once you arrive in NYC: Museums, restaurants and shops are integrating technology in ways that make paying with credit cards and opening your fitting room door to ask for help practically prehistoric. At the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum (2 E. 91st St., 212.849.8400), rather than simply using technology to display information, the museum created a platform for visitors to interact with the objects on display. Each visitor receives an instrument known in the Cooper Hewitt as The Pen. The Pen lets visitors create a record of objects, interact with them and maintain a database of information on those objects as they walk around. For example, if you are looking at the poster “Poetry Readings” by Alexander Gelman on the first floor, you hold The Pen over the tag next to the poster’s title until it vibrates; “collect” the information; find one of the tabletlike tabletops in the center room on either floor and hold the interactive Pen over the matching tag mark, watching as the collected works appear. Explore your new favorite pieces and sift through other works in the museum’s collection that show in little “bubbles” to the right of the artwork now displayed digitally for you. Start “drawing” on the tabletop with your Pen, and an artwork matching your scribble appears. Users can even design their own lamps, hats, buildings and more in ways similar to designers themselves through interactive programming on the tabletop. To preserve all your info, The Pen sends data to a personalized space online, which visitors can access with a code provided at the museum. IN NEW YORK | MARCH 2016 | INNEWYORK.COM

The Cooper Hewitt is not the only powerhouse cultural institution investigating ways technology can better the visitor experience. The nearby Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (1071 Fifth Ave., 212.423.3500) recently launched Guggenheim Near Me, a feature within its smartphone app that uses iBeacon technology to provide visitors with more audio and visual information on works nearest in location to them as they move through the museum. Additionally, the Web-based exhibition, “Åzone Futures Market,” centers around emerging technologies and the marketplace. The Museum of Modern Art (11 W. 53rd St., 212.708.9400) also boasts its own smartphone app and MoMA Audio+, an audio guide on a provided iPod Touch, free of charge as visitors browse the collection. Look for “Scenes for a New Heritage: Contemporary Art From the Collection,” and experience artwork that responds to a society shifting in the age of technology from artists like Feng Mengbo, whose medium is video games. With the My Path feature for MoMA Audio+, visitors continue interacting with art-

The mind behind the Barneys digital tabletop, New York digital consultancy 2 x 4, has helped institute several other cutting-edge digital projects throughout the city. A visit to M.A.C. Cosmetics (691 Fifth Ave., 646.521.1934) no longer means waiting for an expert to assist in selecting the perfect foundation. With the help of the M.A.C. Foundation Finder, an interactive touch screen located next to the store’s foundation display, users peruse different shades to find the one right for them. To really experience New York’s digital changes, it’s worth stopping and shopping at Rebecca Minkoff’s SoHo store (96 Greene St., 212.677.7883) and the flagship for Ralph Lauren (711 Fifth Ave., 646.774.3900). First, to shop at Rebecca Minkoff, visitors can check into the SoHo flagship location through the Rebecca Minkoff smartphone app. From there, shoppers determine their shopping experience through the Connected Glass wall, a digitalized wall that mimics the website while also giving shoppers features to initiate a personal styling session or order a beverage while browsing.

works after their visit through an emailed link that tracks data from their visit. Shops and restaurants are also seeking ways to use technology as a means of engaging visitors. Take a break at Barneys New York at genes@co-op (660 Madison Ave., 212.826.8900), a café where the table itself functions digitally. There, diners each have a placemat-size tablet from which they can order food or call a server to order old school. Peruse Barneys products and videos while you await your order and gather the strength to get back out and shop the store’s impeccable collections. For innovations on the biotech front, Visit Bell, Book & Candle (141 W. 10th St., 212.414.2355), where its fresh eats start with its aeroponic roof garden. The restaurant grows a large part of its produce on the roof by means of this soilless gardening technique, which arranges plants on small towers and drips water rich in nutrients at regular intervals to nourish the plants. The seasonal menu highlights the complex flavors of this diverse range of vegetables and follows the local, organic and sustainably minded mantra to the delight of diners.

Once in the fitting room, the new interactive mirrors recognize items through a data-chip technology that also allows shoppers to browse and request a different size or color of that item, all while not leaving the fitting room. Rebecca Minkoff eventually hopes to even display ratings and reviews from other customers through the fitting-room mirrors. The Ralph Lauren flagship store is also keeping pace: Its own fittingroom mirrors let shoppers call an assistant and browse different sizes and colors in the store, as sales associates receive notifications on an iPad. On the way to and from visiting Lower Manhattan, make sure to swing by Brookfield Place or the subway stop at Union Square to check out the new newsstand, aptly named The New Stand (the-new-stand.com), a bodega-style, digitally updated kiosk. Items here range from a bottle of water to a Google Cardboard virtualreality headset. With the Stand’s smartphone app, you can pay for your store purchase and also browse music, videos and news to entertain you whenever you like, even while waiting for a subway (works without Wi-Fi!). Now, what can be cooler than that?

Items at the digitally updated subway newsstand range from a bottle of water to a Google Cardboard virtual-reality headset.

Concierges are asked a lot of questions throughout the day, anything from “Where’s a good place to eat near the hotel?” to “What’s the one show I must see on Broadway?” Here, The St. Regis New York’s Harald Mootz shares the top seven questions he gets asked by his guests. What hat are the best restaurants to dine at in Midtown East? Due to its location across the street from The St. Regis egis New York, guests often ask about reservations to The Polo Bar. With 2,000 calls a day for tables, the demand is high, but we do manage well! Can you tell me more about the new Whitney Museum W of American Art? Guests have

What is a mustsee show? With buzz around how the story is told through rap, “Hamilton” amilton” has been a common request.

What hat is a must-attend TV show taping?

Kate Hooker is a lawyer and writer who fled the East Village for Brooklyn a few years ago in search of outdoor space and fewer Starbucks.

For a quick day trip away from the bustle of Manhattan—one with magnificent views of the city skyline—hop on the ferry or the N/R/Q subway lines and check out one of NYC’s most rapidly changing neighborhoods: Long Island City, Queens. Formerly a center of industry, the past 15 years have seen LIC’s commercial warehouses repurposed as art galleries, studio spaces, and great spots to eat and shop. Those changes brought sweeping residential development to the area, along with top-notch restaurants, bars and other hallmarks of a thriving, gentrifying community.

Steak at M. Wells

EAT Perhaps one of the most high-profile restaurants in this area is the funky, cavernous M. Wells Steakhouse (43-15 Crescent St., magasinwells.com), helmed by FrenchCanadian Head Chef Hugue Dufour. Not your average chophouse, M. Wells’ menu complements standards like porterhouse steak for two with enterprising new concepts like bone marrow soup and banana foie gras. If you’re looking for lighter fare, you can chow down on top-flight sushi at Hibino (10-70 Jackson Ave., hibino-lic.com), or slurp hand-pulled noodles at Mu Ramen (1209 Jackson Ave.,

Bar (45-58 Vernon Blvd., licbar.com), a laid- back, 100-year-old, brick-and-wood watering hole that looks like the set of a movie and perfectly encapsulates the totally-cool-without-tryingtoo-hard-to-be-cool vibe.

DRINK The craft-beer craze that is sweeping the city is alive and well in Long Island City, and you can swing by the tasting room at Transmitter Brewing (53-02 11th St., transmitterbrewing.com) for some of the best local brews in town.

SEE LIC is known for its world-class art, and a great place to start is MoMA PS1 (22-25 Jackson Ave., momaps1.org), the edgier, younger sibling of the Museum of Modern Art. Focused exclusively on exhibition as opposed to collecting, PS1 is in the vanguard of the contemporary art scene, and its famed Sunday Sessions are a great way to get exposed to the cutting edge in live performance and moving image. The Noguchi Museum (9-01 33rd Rd., noguchi.org) was created by Japanese-American sculptor/designer Isamu Noguchi to display his most representative works. The venue is an artistic achievement in and of itself, and an afternoon spent exploring its 10 galleries and open-air sculpture park is an experience you won’t regret.
