Here Comes the Bridegroom

Lust for Life

Gavin Creel turns 40 this month, and Broadway’s go-to juvenile lead finally gets to play an adult— Steven Kodaly in the revival of the musical “She Loves Me” (above, with Jane Krakowski)—who is not only the same age, but also a happily unrepentant roué. The actor, who can easily pass for 19 (as he did at age 36 in “The Book of Mormon” for three-plus years on tour, in London and on Broadway), is excited. “To play a villain is boring, but to play a person who’s hungry for life and will devour anything that’s in his way, I can identify with that. I like to think I bring a sense of wicked joy to Kodaly.” | “She Loves Me,” Studio 54, 254 W. 54th St., 212.719.1300

Tony Award winner Billy Porter (left) has traded in the 6-inch heels he wore in “Kinky Boots” for tap shoes in “Shuffle Along,” the re-creation of the 1921 musical that was Broadway’s first African-American smash hit. Porter believes that the groundbreaking, but long-forgotten show is ripe for rediscovery. “What’s so brilliant is that we get to tell the story of a group of people who lived a hundred years ago and on whose shoulders we stand,” he says. | “Shuffle Along, or, The Making of the Musical Sensation of 1921

For seven seasons, Steven Pasquale was firefighter Sean Garrity on FX’s “Rescue Me.” In 2014, he transitioned to sensitive-leading-man status on Broadway in “The Bridges of Madison Country” before becoming cop Mark Fuhrman in FX’s “The People v. O.J. Simpson.” “I’m an actor, so I try to play whatever each role requires,” he says. Now, in the Off-Broadway revival of the bluegrass musical “The Robber Bridegroom” (below, center), he’s taking on the tenor role of roguish Jamie Lockhart, whom he describes as “a gentleman con man by day and a bandit of the woods at night, complete with dagger and handkerchief over his face.” Since onstage fairy tales always have a happy ending, Jamie falls in love. And so did Pasquale in real life. He and Phillipa Soo, currently starring in “Hamilton” on Broadway, announced their engagement via Instagram in February. | “The Robber Bridegroom,” Laura Pels Theatre, 111 W. 46th St., 212.719.1300

THE RETAIL SCENE by Joni Sweet

White Hot

Everything But Water’s new concept shop in the West Village is hot—whitehot. The resortwear and bathing-suit store collaborated with top designers, like Mara Hoffman and Karla Colletto, to develop a capsule collection of allwhite swimsuits, which range from one-pieces with sexy cutouts to sporty mesh bikinis and even a crocheted option. Shoppers will also discover luxe loungewear, straw hats, beach-ready bags, ocean-inspired jewelry, sandals and the most divinely scented coconut sea-salt hairspray that gives hair a tousled beachy texture. | Everything But Water, 373 Bleecker St., 917.674.3797

Renaissance Watch The DeWitt Academia Mathematical watch innovates the art of timekeeping.

Instead of using hands, the automatic men’s ticker indicates the time with jumping numbers that light up in the center of the face. The math-inspired watch also comes with luxurious touches, like an 18-karat rose gold round case, bridges decorated with Côtes de Genève patterns and handcrafted finishes. Truly a watch fit for Leonardo da Vinci. | Cellini Jewelers, 509 Madison Ave., 212.888.0505

Page-turner French designer Sonia Rykiel obviously has a passion for fashion. But her new Upper East Side store focuses as much on her second love— books—as it does on clothes. The stunning red-lacquered store is lined with bookshelves, brimming with 15,000 works by French authors, and even includes a cozy reading area by the windows. Among the decorative tomes, shoppers will discover drapey dresses with funky prints, quilted leather handbags, wide-leg denim and, of course, the brand’s famous knit sweaters. | Sonia Rykiel, 816 Madison Ave., 212.396.3060

on exhibit The View From Asia

As you’d expect in a show by Asian-born photographers that spans six decades, “Contemporary Photography Asian Perspectives” embraces wide-ranging themes. From 78year-old Fan Ho’s cinematic take on Hong Kong to images by anonymous Xinhua News Agency photographers, midcentury China unfurls in black and white. Toshio Shibata discovers drama in the interaction between nature and man-made structures in “Okawa Village, Tosa County, Kochi Prefecture” (right, 2007). And through surreal self-portraits taken the world over in his “Mao suit,” Tseng Kwong Chi scrutinizes cross-cultural identity. | Laurence Miller Gallery, 20 W. 57th St., 212.397.3930, thru April 30

Dark Themes

Themes of urban anxiety, adolescence and self-portraiture course through the art of Edvard Munch and his Expressionist contemporaries from Germany and Austria. Yet while much has been written about the relationship between Munch’s personal life and his angst-ridden art, “Munch and Expressionism” is the first show to put the groundbreaking Norwegian in context with his German and Austrian peers. The result: a provocative conversation between works by Max Beckmann, Erich Heckel and Egon Schiele, among others, and Munch showpieces like “The Scream” (above, left, 1893) and “Bathing Man” (below, left, 1918). | Neue Galerie, 1048 Fifth Ave., 212.628.6200, thru June 13

Dressed Up After years as a professional musician, British artist Susie MacMurray put down her bassoon, went to art school and turned to drawing, sculpture and installations. Fascinated by unexpected combinations of wildly disparate components, she elevates banal elements like hairnets, rubber gloves and balloons into elegant, thoughtprovoking displays that fool the eye and tease our perceptions. Witness her aptly titled “Medusa” (left, 2014-15), an imposing 6-foot-tall construction of chain mail. | Danese/Corey, 511 W. 22nd St., 212.223.2227, April 21 thru May 27

Chicken wings at Rowland’s Bar & Grill

One of the most authentic farm-totable eateries in Philadelphia has come to the Big Apple: High Street on Hudson (637 Hudson St., 917.388.3944) boasts the same tantalizing eats as its Philly sibling, from charred rutabaga hummus to heavenly breads and spreads. A day of shopping at “The World’s Largest Store” begs a respite: Take a break at the new Rowland’s Bar & Grill (151 W. 34th St., 212.868.3001) on Macy’s lower level. The restaurant soothes with satisfying eats like housesmoked pastrami on marble rye and chicken wings. For something a bit more exotic, The Royal Munkey (438 Second Ave., 646.863.2249) invokes the sensibility of early-20th-century colonial India, with both traditional Indian dishes (chicken tikka masala) and Anglo-Indian specialties (Bombay lamb chops). The team behind one of the trendiest franchises in the world (Tao) recently opened Vandal (199 Bowery, 212.400.0199), promising “food of global street cultures, from New York to Barcelona to Vietnam and beyond.” In East Harlem, Mountain Bird at Tastings NYC (251 E. 110th St., 212.744.4422) charms with a FrenchJapanese, fowlcentric menu. Noteworthy re-brandings include City Crab Shack (10 E. 16th St., 212.529.3800), where favorites include the Old Bay spiced peel-and-eat shrimp; and Sushi Seki Bar & Oysters (365 W. 46th St., 212.262.8880), now offering a $42, fourcourse pre-theater menu.

Dance Party

There’s almost always a line outside Marquee, and for good reason. The Chelsea nightclub hosts the top techno and house DJs, like Robin Schulz, Fedde Le Grand and Mark Knight, all worth waiting for. The extravagant space features a giant disco ball, plush leather seating, sky-high ceilings and some seriously impressive lighting. While the dress code is “upscale and trendy,” make sure your high heels are comfortable enough to endure on an all-night dance party. | Marquee, 289 10th Ave., 646.473.0202

Sultry Sirens Burlesque gets experimental at Duane Park.

At L’Opera Burlesque (April 12), talented opera singers serenade audiences with arias from “Lakmé,” “Carmen” and “La Bohème” while stripping down to mere rhinestones or wearing lingerie behind giant feather fans.

Check the online calendar for other themes, including Latin and 1980s music. | Duane Park, 308 Bowery, 212.732.5555

Classics & More

If you have an affinity for classic cocktails, you’re in luck at Seamstress. The bartenders at the cocktail lounge on the Upper East Side have mastered 50 favorites, including the Aviation, Tom Collins, Moscow Mule, Hurricane and Harvey Wallbanger.

That’s not to say they’re not creative, though. Seamstress toys with obscure ingredients (such as peppercorn syrup, Chinese five-spice honey, rosemary smoke and kalamansi) on its list of more than two dozen original tipples, ranging from bitter and herbaceous to tropical and tangy. | Seamstress, 339 E. 75th St., 212.288.8033

Flashy Lobby Bar

The W New York hotel brings the bright lights and energy of Times Square indoors to its flashy lobby bar, The Living Room. The lounge features cool pod seating, a bar backlit by attention-grabbing neon signs and plenty of groovy nooks to explore. Fans of sweet, fruity drinks are spoiled for choice with the recently revamped cocktails menu. Patrons without a sweet tooth are better off sticking with their favorite spirit straight up, or beer and wine. | The Living Room, 1567 Broadway, 212.930.7447

ot since Meryl Streep has a comet shot out of Yale School of Drama as fast and as far as Lupita Nyong’o did in 2012. Two years later, she was Oscar’s Best Supporting Actress, People’s Most Beautiful Woman, Glamour’s Woman of the Year—and one of the most strikingly exotic faces of Mui Mui, the Italian high-fashion brand.

With no agent and just a manager, the 33-year-old, Mexico-born and Kenya-raised Nyong’o taped her first featurefilm audition and sent it to director Steve McQueen, who couldn’t believe he had finally—after 1,000-plus auditions— found his Patsey character for “12 Years a Slave.”

Her subsequent portrayal of the pre-Civil War slave who suffered savage plantation abuse got her to the Oscar podium, where she noted, “It doesn’t escape me for one moment that so much joy in my life is thanks to so much pain in someone else’s.”

That eloquent sentiment could easily be recycled in June, should she walk off with a Tony for her Broadway bow in Danai Gurira’s harrowing drama, “Eclipsed.” There is a distinct how-to-survive sensibility running from Patsey to the character she now plays in “Eclipsed,” a young orphan who becomes the sexual slave to a brutish rebel soldier.

This role, too, dates back to her Yale days, when the school produced the drama in 2009. “‘Eclipsed’ was the first show that I understudied,” she said. “I remember being at rehearsals, watching it come to life!”

“It’s a real ensemble piece,” said Nyong’o. “It’s also a milestone—the first play on Broadway to be written by a woman, directed by a woman and starring all women.” Set during the second Liberian civil war in 2003, “Eclipsed” finds Nyong’o playing a 15-year-old innocent who has fled her war-ravaged village and taken refuge—unluckily—in the camp of a rebel commander. He collects “wives” to cook, clean and sexually service him. Her only other option is to become a soldier and do some brutalizing herself.

Lupita Nyong’o in “Eclipsed.”

I] drove down from Amherst, Massachusetts, where we were at college, but we were late and got there at intermission.

So, between your Oscar and Broadway, you were in one of the highest-grossing films of all time—“Star Wars: Episode Vll—The Force Awakens.” What attracted you to the role of an orange-skinned, bug-eyed, 1,000-year-old space pirate?

There are certain things on my bucket list, and motion-capture roles [known as “mo-cap,” where an actor wears markers or sensors on a skintight bodysuit or directly on the skin] was one of those things. [Director] J.J. Abrams called and asked me to play this “mo-cap” character. I jumped at the chance. I thought, “Oh, my God, this would be an amazing opportunity, especially after ‘12 Years a Slave.’” That was about my body. This, absolutely, wasn’t.

Congratulations on getting to Broadway. After the “12 Years

Bye-bye, bulky sweaters! Peace out, puffy parkas! Spring has sprung, bringing with it a bumper crop of fresh looks—including these three particularly bold styles—to make you forget all about the months you spent doubling down on carbs and binge watching “Downton Abbey.” Here’s what we’re seeing this season.

SHINE ON Gray, black, brown: The somber shades of winter are very much yesterday’s news. But here’s a tip: It’s not all about pastels and sherbets, either. This spring, designers have taken such traditional holiday party staples as sequins, tinsel and a variety of shiny fabrics and adapted them for spring and summer.

Louis Vuitton (1 E. 57th St., 212.758.8877) shows silver metallic minidresses for the warm-weather months, with a simple shift bodice and a drop-waist bubble skirt. Meanwhile, Gucci (725 Fifth Ave., 212.826.2600) pairs shiny, sequined ultrafeminine dresses with ruffles and sheer layers falling at midcalf.

For something that a bit more casual but no less “check me out,” look for Isabel Marant’s (469 Broome St., 212.219.2284) silver sandals, jeans and ruffled miniskirts. And Lanvin (815

Madison Ave., 646.439.0380) has used metallic in classic gold jackets with wide push-up sleeves, deep pockets and bold buttons.

Silver is also dominant in menswear.

Head over to Paul Smith (142 Greene St., 646.613.3060), where you’ll find a wide assortment of metallic suits, pants and blazers, like the designer’s teal-colored metallic double-breasted suits.

This spring and summer, it’s all about sequins, too. Hailed as one of the biggest fashion stories of the season, sequins have escaped the confines of the Christmas party with Gucci’s optical illusion dresses. For still more options, take a look at the flapper-inspired jackets, dresses and pumps in bold cherry, garnets and blues from Lanvin.

STRIPE OUT Horizontal, vertical, diagonal, wide, skinny, rugby, seersucker—stripes are everywhere this season.

True to his youthful vision, Tommy Hilfiger’s (681 Fifth Ave., 212.223.1824) striped styles are a high-energy, beachy affair such as his striped lightweight sweaters that can be paired with shorts.

Ralph Lauren’s (888 Madison Ave., 212.434.8000) collection is replete with striped floor-length gowns and pinstriped suits. Stripes also pop up in Michael Kors’ menswear (520 Broadway, 212.336.4501), but there’s no sense of formality here, showing up on board shorts, linen pants and unstructured blazers. The same goes for John Varvatos (315 Bowery, 212.358.0315) and his striped suits with skinny rocker pants and slim-fit cutaway jackets that revive the mod style of 1960s London.

Other designers are meshing stripes with other concepts: Dolce & Gabbana (717 Fifth Ave., 212.897.9653) has mixed bright stripes with sequined appliqués and 1950s pinup girl silhouettes. And Gucci offers its Dionysus

Nets ‘n’ Strings Left to right: Runway looks from Kenzo, Lanvin (men’s collection), Michael Kors, Stella McCartney and Proenza Schouler

LOOSEN UP Another hot trend for 2016 is the unraveled, she’s-come-undone aesthetic of mesh, netting and strings.

Kenzo’s (Saks Fifth Avenue, 611 Fifth Ave., 212.753.4000) intricately designed, formfitting net sweaters are a perfect example. Elsewhere, while Louis Vuitton’s mesh tops exude a postapocalyptic “Mad Max” glamour, Proenza Schouler (121 Greene St., 212.420.7300) goes for the ladylike with knit off-the-shoulder wrap dresses, party frocks made entirely of netted feather quills, and abstract-cut white dresses that swirl just above the ankles.

If you’re in the market for a real statement dress, Stella McCartney (Bergdorf Goodman, 754 Fifth Ave., 212.753.7300) is showing curved and contoured mesh embroidery patterns in both formal gowns and casual, floorlength dresses.

A highlight of the Derek Lam (764 Madison Ave., 212.493.4454) collection is strings and more strings, hanging from his detailed, lace-up corset dresses and tunics as well as from the cuffs and necklines of blouses and jackets. The Michael Kors woman (790 Madison Ave., 212.452.4685) is showing up with voluminous poet shirts featuring long ties left undone or tied loosely at the neck and sleeves, and wraparound belts that trail off beyond the buckle. And Lanvin for men has also designed long vests trailing with strings and straps.

How to sum up the new trends? Notes Vogue: “Shoppers are hungrier than ever for something to grab onto, for an emotional component that extends beyond luxury. Designers have responded in kind, serving up the romantic, the eyecatching and the ornate.”

NYC LUMINARIES DISH ON THEIR FAVORITE BEAUTY TREATMENTS

Performers lead very busy lives, spending 16-hour days on film or TV sets or performing eight shows a week on Broadway, not to mention auditioning, working out and spending time with loved ones. No wonder they have their favorite go-to spots to relax and rejuvenate.

Here’s where you can go, too. By Brian Scott Lipton

Great Jones Spa’s tropical decor is a fitting backdrop for its body treatments.

“30 Rock” star (who just completed the film “Hard Sell” with Kristin Chenoweth), finds a great massage essential to relieving daily stress. “My favorite spot is the Great Jones Spa (29 Great Jones St., 212.505.3185),” she notes. “I love the deep-tissue sports massage, because it relieves my built-up tension and sore muscles. It’s intense, but it also feels peaceful because the spa rooms at Great Jones are so serene and calming. I also love the water lounge; it is the best in the city!”

SHERRI SAUM, who plays lesbian mom on the popular ABC Family series “Freeform,” works hard—and relaxes hard. “I love Asia Tui-Na NY (37 E. 28th St., 212.686.8082) near the Flatiron District,” she says. “It’s not fancy, but they do a deep-tissue massage the way I need it: seriously deep. I like to leave a massage not quite knowing if I should tip someone or file an assault report.”

JULIAN YEO, acclaimed retro-jazz vocalist and recording artist, whose new CD “Another Season” is due out shortly, treats himself to the integrative sports massage at the Center for the Advancement of Therapeutic Arts (122 W. 26th St., 212.229.1529). “My masseur, Tim Sutton, is incredibly gifted in finding the aches and knots that I accumulate from working out hard at the gym and daily stress,” he says. “His sports massage is a mix of deep-tissue trigger-point therapy, vibration and intense stretching. And Tim is so skillful in reading my body and customizing the treatment to what I need every time I see him.

I always leave feeling invigorated, centered and healed after our sessions.”

STEVE GUTTENBERG, whose stellar acting career includes such iconic films as “Diner” (1982), “Police Academy”(1984) and “Cocoon” (1985), can be seen this summer in the Syfy television film “2 Lava 2 Lantula!” So the Brooklyn-born actor treasures the chance to take a break at Mario Badescu Skin Care Spa (320 E. 52nd St., 212.758.1065). “I always ask for Svetlana, who is just splendid, and try to get both a facial and a massage,” he says. “It not only refreshes and restores your glow, it’s relaxing and calming.”

HUNTER RYAN HERDLICKA, NYC musical theater and cabaret favorite, who recently costarred in the Off-Broadway revival of “Once Upon a Mattress,” takes whatever opportunity he can to retreat to Smooth Synergy Cosmedical Spa (139 E. 57th St., 212.397.0111). “They offer so many incredible services that you could spend a whole afternoon there,” he says. “But my personal favorite is the oxygen facial. It leaves your skin feeling incredibly healthy and refreshed. And since, as an actor, I often keep long, late hours and have to wear makeup onstage, I think facials are so important to keep my skin clean and clear.”

LENA HALL, Broadway and cabaret sensation, who won a Tony Award for her cross-dressing portrayal of rock musician Yitzhak in “Hedwig and the Angry Inch,” has a very personal reason for choosing her favorite spot. “Senses Salon and Spa (138 Fifth Ave., 212.242.7979) has got a lot of amazing people who work there, one of them being my sister Calli, who always keeps my hair looking amazing!

She is excellent with ombre hair color,” she confesses. “They also have an incredible tattoo artist named Friday Jones who does all my ink.” (Lena proudly sports two tattoos: one for family, one for career.)

VICTORIA CLARK, another Tony Award winner—who will reunite with her “The Light in the Piazza” co-stars Matthew Morrison and Kelli O’Hara for a special reunion concert on April 4 at Lincoln Center—is a huge fan of Bliss Soho (568 Broadway, 877.862.5477).

“It’s such a wonderfully relaxing place,” she enthuses. “They give great manicures and pedicures, and the rubber-neck massage places real concentration on my neck and shoulders, where I hold the most tension,” she says.

“Plus, they offer delicious, healthy snacks, citrus water and organic teas while you wait for your treatment. That’s a real bonus!”

Serenity in the City From wallet-friendly shopping sprees to the latest in luxe spa trends, Four Seasons Hotel’s Helen Chedra shares several ways to relax and rejuvenate in NYC this spring.

When you go on a shopping spree, where do you find quality goods at bargain prices?

There’s nothing like the Century 21 Department Store in Lower Manhattan: It has some of the best prices for designer labels. I also love Lord & Taylor and Bloomingdale’s, where you will find plenty under one roof, often with discounts.

What are two NYC destinations worth visiting off Manhattan island? Take a walk through the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, which spans 52 acres. If you are a jazz lover, visit the Louis Armstrong House Museum and its garden in Corona, Queens.

If someone only has three hours in the city, what places do you recommend? Besides a bus tour, Central Park is a worthwhile option: See the model sailboats at the Conservatory Water, Shakespeare Garden, Belvedere Castle, the Balto statue or just sit and people-watch.

Besides the spa at your hotel, what other If time is not spas do you an issue, what recommend? For places would you a one-stop beauty recommend?

dining+drinking Q & A with Kingsley’s Roxanne Spruance At the East Village’s Kingsley, French classics are turned on end with unusual ingredients. Take a bite with founder and chef Roxanne Spruance. | Kingsley, 190 Ave. B, at E. 12th St., 212.674.4500 How did you come to be a chef in New York? I started cooking at [Chicago’s] Blackbird when I was 15 in 1988. I was too young to cook with the big boys, so they put me in pastry with Elissa Narow, who is a James Beard Award-winning chef. I fell in love with [cooking]. I moved [to NYC] about six years ago. I got a job at WD-50.

Fluke crudo

What was it like at WD-50? The chef de cuisine had a dish that was a New England crab roll with a torchon of peekytoe crab.

He took a Pepperidge Farm hot-dog bun and put it through a pasta roller and then rolled it around the crab and toasted it in clarified butter. I wanted to work with the guy who thought to put a hot-dog bun through a pasta roller.

What nontraditional flavors are you using at Kingsley? [With winter being] citrus season, I’m fixated on Buddha’s hand [a fragrant fruit with fingerlike sections].

What dishes are you using Buddha’s hand in? We’re putting it on fluke crudo.

How do fruits and vegetables come into your day-to-day meal-planning at the restaurant? I’m at Union Square Market in the mornings. Even now in the winter we have hydroponic guys that we get a bunch of stuff from [therefore, using a lot of vegetables].

What are your go-to NYC restaurants? I like going to weird places, like Uncle Boons (p.

43) for Thai. Rai Rai Ken (p. 43) will always be my go-to ramen spot.

What do you most love about being a chef? Working with the different flavors. Buddha’s hand is a great example—why just use lemons when you can use something that gives a slightly different flavor profile?

In celebration of their 25th anniversary, the speakers have been upgraded with Bluetooth and Sonos connect:amp compatibility, allowing users to stream their music wirelessly. Find these and other tech toys at MoMA Design Store. | MoMA Design Store, 11 W. 53rd St., 212.708.9700. momastore.org

Katie Ermilio has fashion in her blood. Not only has she designed clothes since age 12, she’s also the granddaughter of Grace Kelly’s personal clothier, Anthony Ermilio. She lives up to this legacy with her dressy garments that combine sharp tailoring with draped fabrics. Her spring collection includes this dramatic silhouette: a check evening skirt and button-up blouse—perfect for a garden party or gala. | Barneys New York, 101 Seventh Ave., 646.264.6400. barneys.com

Strawberry balsamic pie at Four & Twenty Blackbirds

Insa Korea Restaurant

EAT Food options abound in Gowanus: Solid brunch spot Runner & Stone (285 3rd Ave., runnerandstone.com) has the best lemon poppy bread I’ve ever had and a killer baguette. Grab a slice of life-changing pie at Four & Twenty Blackbirds (439 3rd Ave., birdsblack.com). The salted caramel apple put them on the map, but I’m a sucker for the strawberry balsamic. Lunchtime means ribs at Fletcher’s Brooklyn Barbecue (433 3rd Ave., fletchersbklyn.com), the lobster roll at Littleneck (288 3rd Ave., littleneckbrooklyn .com) or chorizo cheese fries at The Roof

Royal Palms

restaurant and taproom at Whole Foods (214 3rd St., wholefoodsmarket.com). DRINK Unwind with a beer in the huge backyard area at Lavender Lake (383 Carroll St., lavenderlake .com). Order some fried Brussels sprouts and look for the high-water mark left when the Gowanus Canal flooded the place during Hurricane Sandy. Head to nearby Threes Brewing (333 Douglass St., threesbrewing.com) for a great selection of beers and a rotating menu of snacks from local restaurants, or check out Givers and Takers (286 3rd Ave., no website), a bar backed by a member of Mumford & Sons.

SHOP Want to bring home a slightly weird souvenir of your trip (like a taxidermy kit for a loved one)? Head to the gift shop at the Morbid Anatomy Museum (424 3rd Ave., morbid anatomymuseum.org) for all your taxidermy and occult needs. You can learn about the checkered history of the Gowanus Canal and pick up a locally made memento at the Gowanus Souvenir Shop (543 Union St., gowanus souvenir.com), or create a custom-made terrarium at Twig Terrariums (287 3rd Ave., twigterrariums.com).

PLAY Gowanus has more than food to keep you busy, though you can both eat and sing karaoke at Korean BBQ joint Insa (328 Douglass St., insabrooklyn.com), enjoy archery lessons at Gotham Archery (480 Baltic St., got-archery.com) or get in some climbing at Brooklyn Boulders (575 Degraw St., brooklynboul ders.com), New York’s largest indoor rock-climbing gym. Check out the online calendar for The Bell House (149 7th St., thebell houseny.com), an old warehouse converted into a bar/event space that hosts everything from standup comedy (I saw Louis CK perform here for $5) to 1990s hip-hop dance parties. Or channel your inner grandparent in a very cool setting at the Royal Palms (514 Union St., royalpalmsshuffle.com), a popular bar and shuffleboard club with league nights and bingo.

The Gowanus Canal hasn’t traditionally ranked up there with Times Square and the Metropolitan Museum of Art as a prime NYC tourist destination, and if you get close and take a good whiff, you’ll know why. Oddly enough, though, the neighborhood of Gowanus, whose canal, among other things, has been known as a Mafia “dumping ground,” has been transformed by millennials into a booming restaurant and bar scene over the past few years: It’s a great place to visit to see what “new Brooklyn” is all about.
