As Seen on TV In the 1940s, American network television was in its infancy, not yet an art form but very much influenced by the avant-garde fine art and graphic design of that and subsequent decades. The new exhibition at The Jewish Museum, which explores the synergy between television and the visual arts, is the first of its kind. Juxtaposed are clips from programs, such as The Ernie Kovacs Show and The Twilight Zone,, and works by Saul Bass, Alexander Calder, Marcel Duchamp, Roy Lichtenstein and others, including art director William Golden, whose iconic CBS eye logo, created in the 1950s and still used today, finds a complement in Man Ray’s “Indestructible Object (or Object to Be Destroyed” (right), ), a 1964 replica of the original 1923 metronome. | Revolution of the Eye: Modern Art and the Birth of American Television, The Jewish Museum, 1109 Fifth Ave., 212.423.3200, May 1-Sept. 20

The dress of the season isn’t on the runway, but onstage at the Vivian Beaumont Theater. Designed by multiple Tony Award winner Catherine Zuber for the revival of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s The King and I and worn by multiple Tony Award nominee Kelli O’Hara (below, with co-star Ken Watanabe), the ballgown, which can be seen in the second act, comprises 20 yards of liquid lavender satin, ending in a hem whose circumference measures a mind-boggling 355 inches. If Broadway can be said to influence fashion and social interaction, the showstopping costume—in its graceful, floor-sweeping way—may very well bring back the waltz. | Vivian Beaumont Theater at Lincoln Center, 150 W. 65th St., 212.239.6200

Finding Fun

Biggs on Bway

“The challenge for me as an actor,” Jason Biggs says, “is playing roles that people aren’t used to seeing me play and that I’m not used to playing.” Scoop Rosenbaum in The Heidi Chronicles (above), Heidi Holland’s true love but always unfaithful lover, is one such part. Scoop is arrogant and rude, but in Biggs’ opinion “incredibly honest, a truth teller. I enjoy feeling the audience question things that I say and gasp at times. It means I’m doing my job.” | The Heidi Chronicles, Music Box Theatre, 239 W. 45th St., 212.239.6200

The last time Laura Michelle Kelly was on Broadway, it was as Mary Poppins, the nanny to end all nannies. Now, she’s in the new musical Finding Neverland (below, with leading man Matthew Morrison, second from right), as Sylvia Llewelyn Davies, the mother of the four adventurous boys who inspired playwright J.M. Barrie to create Peter Pan. What’s it like acting with children again? “Oh my gosh, they make my day so much better,” Kelly says. “Kids have an attitude about life and work that adults can lose. They say about people in musical theater that we look so young, but it’s actually because theater is playacting. There’s even a song, “Play,” about that in the show. Adults often forget that life can be fun.” | Finding Neverland, Lunt-Fontanne Theatre, 205 W. 46th St., 877.250.2929

Disenchanted!, Off-Broadway’s raunchy and revisionist musical comedy about the flip side of being a Disney fairy-tale princess, is “not for little kids,” says the show’s Cinderella, Becky Gulsvig (above). And that includes her own 4-year-old daughter. The damsels in distress here are princesses in revolt: The Little Mermaid drinks, Sleeping Beauty snores, Snow White sermonizes and none of them likes housework. How bad is Cinderella? “I’d say she learns and grows,” Gulsvig insists. “She doesn’t transform into Maleficent or anything crazy.” | Disenchanted!, Westside

A LOOK INSIDE THE NEW WHITNEY by Terry Trucco

New Home You’re fortunate to be in New York this month. On May 1, the Whitney Museum of American Art throws open the doors to its new $422 million home (above), and you can be among the first to step inside. After 60 years uptown, the preeminent repository of 20th-century and contemporary American art is downtown again, not far from the Greenwich Village town houses where it opened in 1931. But what a difference. A gleaming temple of stone, steel and glass, architect Renzo Piano’s cantilevered creation boasts sprawling terraces, a skylit roof gallery, the city’s largest column-free exhibition space and the unexpected. How else to describe Richard Artschwager’s walk-in art installations that double as elevators. | Whitney Museum of American Art, 99 Gansevoort St., 212.570.9300

Founding Mother

When the Metropolitan Museum of Art declined her gift of some 600 paintings by American artists in 1929, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney turned on her heel and started her own museum. A talented sculptor, Whitney’s art connections ran deep. Robert Henri painted her portrait (above, 1916), which her husband refused to display in their town house because he didn’t want friends to see his wife “in pants.” Whitney hung it in her Greenwich Village studio, her museum’s first home, and, befittingly, it highlights America Is Hard to See, the inaugural show in the museum’s new home.

Finding Cindy

Cindy Sherman’s mesmerizing career is built upon photographs she takes of herself that aren’t self-portraits. Brandishing costumes, makeup and attitude, Sherman disappears into astutely crafted personas like the gimleteyed society grande dame in “Untitled” (below, 2008), a spiritual descendant of Proust’s Duchess of Guermantes on view in America Is Hard to See. Recognizing Sherman as an influential artist in the company of Georgia O’Keeffe and Ed Ruscha, the Whitney numbers more than 25 of her careerspanning works in its permanent collection.

Explosive Expressions

As you’d expect in a 650-work show embracing American art from 1900 to the present, America Is Hard to See celebrates Abstract Expressionism, America’s first internationally acclaimed art movement. Consider Willem de Kooning’s iconic “Woman and Bicycle” (above, 1952-53). By deconstructing his figures, de Kooning liberated his art. “I paint this way because I can keep putting more things in it—drama, anger, pain, love, a figure, a horse, my ideas about space,” he declared.

Gritty City

Like Alexander Calder and Reginald Marsh, New York born-and-raised Edward Hopper, known as the quintessential American realist, is an artist closely associated with the Whitney. Not only did he bequeath 3,000 artworks to the museum, his emblematic “Early Sunday Morning” (left, 1930) was one of the museum’s earliest acquisitions, purchased for $3,000 shortly after its completion. On view in America Is Hard to See, it was, Hopper has said, “an almost literal translation of Seventh Avenue.” But what a translation. With blurry shop names, a barber pole and a blackened high-rise cutting into a clear blue sky, it could be a stage set for a Depressionera small town, lonely and uneasy.

THE RETAIL SCENE by Joni Sweet

Makers Take On Museum

A group of passionate crafters from Etsy, the online marketplace for handmade goods, have teamed up with the American Museum of Natural History to stock the gift store with items reminiscent of the renowned collection. The blue whale pendant, handmade by Etsy user Craft0logy, is the perfect souvenir for museumgoers who fall in love with the iconic whale in the museum’s Milstein Family Hall of Ocean Life. There’s also a 3-D birthday card with dinosaur skeletons poking out from a model of the museum that’s unlike anything we’ve seen. But we’re obsessed with these eco-felt coats, made of 100-percent postconsumer plastic bottles, that let kids become fantastic little foxes (right). The green dino version is just as adorable. | American Museum of Natural History Shop, Central Park West at W. 79th St., 800.671.7035

The Buccellati family, known for its Renaissance-style jewelry, has settled into a new five-story flagship on Madison Avenue. However, the classic, exquisite jewelry demonstrates that the family still has its heart in Milan, where Mario Buccellati opened his first boutique in 1919. Buccellati’s signature textural gold designs, like these Rombi pendant earrings (left), which feature white and yellow gold with diamonds, showcase masterful goldsmithing and incredible attention to detail. Shoppers can find fine jewelry, silver objects, watches and even gold iPhone cases at the store. | Buccellati, 714 Madison Ave., 212.308.2900

Time Travelers, Take Notice

A fancy French eyewear brand has a vision to break the cyclical nature of fashion trends with its statement-making glasses for men and women. Anne et Valentin combines retro-shaped frames with experimental, futuristic details for a result that would have been just as fashion-forward in the 1950s as it will be in the 2050s (or so we predict). Take the mint-green beauties above: Anne et Valentin embellishes the classic Wayfarer shape with a geometric cutout frame and colored lenses. Behind a set of shades this cool, wearers go incognito, but definitely don’t go unnoticed. Snag a pair from the brand’s new Carroll Gardens boutique. | Anne et Valentin, 200 Smith St., Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, 718.858.8839

Summer Scent With notes of juicy mandarin, cardamom, pimento and tonka, Vince Camuto’s newest fragrance for men, Solare, is perfect for a summer’s eve on the town.

Smoker’s Haven

FOR A BIGGER SWIG, GO TO INNEWYORK.COM/BLOG/THEEDITORISIN

The ban on smoking at most NYC venues is the 21st-century version of Prohibition. But just as drinkers in the 1920s flocked to hidden dens to enjoy illicit libations, smokers now seek out modern speakeasies, like Merchants NY Cigar Bar, where they can puff in peace. The subterranean, candlelit lounge invites patrons to smoke fancy stogies indoors (legally!). The drink menu offers a vast selection of scotch and flavorful cocktails, like The Volstead (Grey Goose, prosecco, St. Germain, strawberries and lemon)— perfect for a diverse customer base that’s decidedly not an old boys’ club.—J.S. | Merchants NY Cigar Bar, 1125 First Ave., 212.832.4610

Get Lit

Foodies here know all too well that when Danny Meyer (Union Square Cafe, Gramercy Tavern) opens up a new eatery, it’s time to dash and dine. But a cocktail lounge? That’s a whole new venture for the restaurateur, and by the looks of things at Porchlight, his team is as expert in barkeeping as it is in the kitchen. Meyer’s first stand-alone craft-cocktail bar is in an 1890s warehouse, complete with reclaimed wood and original concrete flooring, but it is the drinks that should command your attention. Signature cocktails include the creatively named Flagg Day, Behind the Mule and Gun Metal Blue (right, cocktails from left to right). Or try the What’ll It Be: your favorite drink, made exactly the way you like it.— L.L. | Porchlight, 271 11th Ave., 212.981.6188

i i Gg A NEW

With a starring role on Broadway and a new life in New York City, actress Vanessa Hudgens proves she’s grown up in the most delightful way.

BY HEATHER CORCORAN

You’re starring on Broadway for the first time. How would you describe Gigi? The show is a love story set in the 1900s belle epoque period of Paris. Gigi is a young, kind of bratty girl who is just living her life the way she wants to, and she’s forced into a world that she’s not very keen on and ends

up breaking the rules and setting a new course for the generations to come. What’s it like to be headlining a show of your own? It does not feel real. Driving past the theater and seeing my name under the Gigi awning: It feels like an out-of-body experience. Maybe I’ll wake up soon and it’ll all be a dream. I’m just having the time of my life and I’m so happy I’ve had this opportunity.

What’s your absolute favorite thing about Gigi? She’s very inspirational. She is in a world where class and society are up on a pedestal, and there’s only really one way to go about dating and that’s to be a courtesan. To go against the rules was a very ballsy thing to do in the 1900s. She really stands up for herself, and I find that really empowering. Something else that must be fun is the fashion. The costumes in this show are really incredible. Catherine Zuber is our costume designer, and she has done an amazing job at recreating Paris in the 1900s, with beautiful silhouettes and color palettes and lush, rich-looking costumes. It’s so much fun to put them on. I remember when I put on my very first costume—a young, schoolgirl look. I’d found myself wanting to find more spunk in the character, and I got dressed and looked in the mirror and said, “Oh my gosh, this is it!” It’s such a cute outfit; it just makes me want to act out.

Vanessa Hudgens is busier than ever—and for a star who, at just 26, already has a quarter-billion-dollar movie franchise under her belt with the tweenadored megahit High School Musical, that’s saying a lot. Since she started appearing onstage in musicals at age 8, the Salinas, California, native has been hard at work, from her feature film debut in 2003’s Thirteen to her role as Gabriella Montez in the High School Musical movies that turned her into a household name to a racy turn in 2012’s Spring Breakers. Now she makes her Broadway debut starring in the revival of Gigi. And if that isn’t enough, the triple threat will be back in movie theaters this September with the stoner zombie comedy Kitchen Sink before returning to the small screen with a turn as Rizzo in a live broadcast of Grease. Hudgens recently chatted with IN New York about the thrill of seeing her name in lights and the smaller joys of discovering her new neighborhood in Downtown Manhattan while starring on the Great White Way.

Costumes help tell the story, too. You see her start off in a short, schoolgirl dress and she ends up in beautiful, floor-length gowns that are tailored to her body perfectly—it shows the evolution. You’re an icon of young, modern L.A. style. How are you switching things up in New York? Since I’m in New York—I loved Sex and the City so much—I pretend I’m Carrie Bradshaw almost every day. I brought a good chunk of my closet [from L.A.], and I’m just going to chic it up a little bit. All the top designers right now are doing everything I love, so I’ve been really inspired by Lanvin, Anna Sui and Chloé.

PHOTOS: VANESSA HUDGENS IN BLUE AND WHITE DRESS, ©JOAN MARCUS; HUDGENS IN BLACK DRESS, ©MATTHEW MURPHY

What do you love most about spending time in New York? I love the energy. Just leaving my rehearsal space and being driven home, looking out the window and seeing how much opportunity there is everywhere. It makes me very happy and inspired. What do you like doing here in New York? I’m excited that I can go for a walk in the park with my dog. I have a friend who owns a showroom here called Melet Mercantile. He goes all over the world collecting jewelry and clothes and books and art, so I love going over to his shop and just hanging out for hours and just rummaging through all the treasures. Any favorite places to eat? I love Italian food—Il Buco on Bond Street by the Bowery Hotel—on my splurge nights. Oh, and Juice Generation is everything. I love their peanut butter acai bowl. I literally have eaten it every single day. My sister and I could live on their acai bowls; we are obsessed. And I love wine. There’s a bunch of really cute wine bars that I’m excited to hang out in.

I’m living in a new area, so I haven’t had much time to go exploring. Do you prefer living Downtown? It has less hustle and bustle. And the buildings are shorter. It just feels more homey. I go into Midtown and it kind of freaks me out. How do you unwind? There’s nothing a good glass of wine can’t cure. I’m running on such adrenaline, it takes a minute to decompress. So I’ll put on a TV show—I just started watching Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, which is hysterical—and pour myself a glass of wine, hang out with my pup, tidy up, which I find quite meditational, slowly ease my way to sleep, and then do it all over again. Now that you’re performing on Broadway is it a different experience to see a play? I would go see a show and see it as this largerthan-life thing. I still feel that way about it, but when you’re actually doing the show you’re just up there with good friends and it’s kind of playtime. It doesn’t feel as intimidating as I had thought because there is such camaraderie. But I’ve always loved theater. There’s still magic in it for me. What’s next for you? I’m doing Grease for FOX, a live broadcast version [on Jan. 31, 2016]. Playing Rizzo will be a lot of fun because it’s such a different character. After that, I’ll probably travel. I love going to tropical places, so maybe I’ll get a good nature fix after being in New York. After that, I don’t know. I’ve really fallen in love with theater again. I’ll definitely have my eye out for another show to do. IN NEW YORK | MAY 2015 | INNEWYORK.COM

NYC chefs are no longer just stars in the kitchen: They also heat up the small screen, appearing on hit television food shows. Here’s a look at some of our favorites. BY KATE HOOKER

ew York City has no shortage of noteworthy chefs who work long, late hours doing stressful work to ensure that expertly executed, inventive meals are available all day long. Most of these culinary heroes live and work anonymously, but once in a while a chef comes along with the personality and drive to forge a second career as a celebrity on one of the countless foodie-centric TV programs that have cropped up over the past several years. What inspires those chefs to move out from behind the workstation and go in front of the camera? How does it fit in with their “day job” in the kitchen? We spoke with four top New York chefs, now known not only from behind the stove, but also from the small screen, to find out. Eric Ripert has been at the helm of Le Bernardin, the French seafood mecca that is one of the world’s most celebrated restaurants, for over two decades, and in that time he has garnered just about every award that can be bestowed upon a chef. Among other accolades, Le Bernardin has the distinction of maintaining a four-star New York Times review for longer than any other restaurant, so if Eric Ripert wanted to sit back and rest on his greens, he has certainly earned that right. Luckily for everyone who cares about great food, that isn’t part of his plan. After working his way up in various kitchens, he landed in 1991 at Le Bernardin, where he has been wowing well-heeled gourmands seeking food transcendence ever since. Last fall, Ripert helped open the firstever spin-off of Le Bernardin: the casual, relatively affordable Aldo Sohm Wine Bar. “To me, cooking is not a job, it’s a lifestyle and a life passion. I don’t know how to do anything else but eat food, talk about food and make food,” Ripert states matter-of-factly. It’s this singular focus that has undoubtedly made him as successful as he is, and it also served as the inspiration for Avec Eric, his Emmy-winning travel and cooking show, whose third season began airing on The Cooking Channel this past February. Ripert says that, after years of appearing as a guest on news, morning and late-night shows, he developed a taste for being on television and wanted to share with viewers the inspiration he gets from traveling and interacting with farmers, fishermen, foragers and other chefs in exotic places like Korea and Australia. “What I love about Avec Eric is that I have the freedom to be myself,” Ripert explains, “I am just asking the viewer to follow me and share my experience and have fun, and then I come back to my kitchen and cook something from it that they will hopefully be inspired to make.” Perhaps it is not surprising that the country’s most famous molecular gastronomist, Wylie Dufresne, has embraced another modern culinary trend and become a star of the small screen. After training for many years under the legendary French chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Dufresne made a tsunami-size splash in the fine dining scene when he opened his own restaurant, WDIN NEW YORK | MAY 2015 | INNEWYORK.COM

dishes that I don’t think I could ever take off the menu, like the pub cheese with Martin’s ‘potato chips;’ our version of pigs in a blanket with Chinese sausage, Japanese mustard and sweet chili sauce; and the rye pasta with shaved pastrami,” says Dufresne. No doubt due to his brilliant and unconventional culinary skills, Dufresne’s oval glasses, shoulder-length hair and muttonchops have become a familiar sight on hit shows like Iron Chef America, Top Chef, Top Chef Masters and Beat Bobby Flay. He views his star turn as an opportunity to forge connections, with both the next generation of culinary greats and customers who might not have discovered him through other channels. “I like going on shows like Bravo’s Top Chef to watch the caliber of talent of these up-and-coming chefs,” he says,

50, on the Lower East Side in 2003. Critics, fellow chefs and civilians with a penchant for innovative and imaginative fare were instantly captivated by Dufresne’s outof-the-box experimentations, which resulted in dishes like a spin on eggs Benedict involving uniform cubes of fried hollandaise sauce that looked like modern art on a plate. In 2013, he opened a second restaurant, Alder, which was fortuitous timing in light of the fact that WD-50 was forced out of its space by real-estate developers and shuttered. Offering modern interpretations of classic pub fare, Alder is markedly more casual and affordable than its predecessor, but it steadfastly maintains the creative and playful approach to food that originally put Dufresne on the international culinary map. “There are some IN NEW YORK | MAY 2015 | INNEWYORK.COM

0515_IN_F_TVChefs.indd 20

4/13/15 2:38:40 PM

“and to see their creativity and help provide feedback for them.” He adds that “it has also been fun to watch viewers from all over the country come to Alder after seeing me on various shows, and to see them excited to try some of the types of dishes I’ve made on air.” Balancing a dynamo career in the kitchen and regular TV shoots isn’t the kind of thing that a person like Marcus Samuelsson, the owner/chef behind Red Rooster Harlem and the brand-new and much-anticipated Streetbird Rotisserie, would be daunted by. Frankly, even if it were, he wouldn’t have time to be daunted anyway. In addition to running restaurants in New York, Sweden and Chicago, Samuelsson has written award-winning cookbooks and a best-selling memoir, serves as a visiting professor and advisor to multiple culinary schools, is a UNICEF ambassador, was the guest chef for the first official state dinner of the Obama administration, cofounded a website for men interested in food and has frequently appeared on television shows like Top Chef Masters, Chopped and The Taste. Samuelsson was born in Ethiopia and raised by an adoptive family in Sweden, where the importance of fresh, seasonal ingredients was impressed upon him at an early age by his father and uncle, who often served fish caught near the family summer home and foraged greens and mushrooms. As an adult, Samuelsson continues to be inspired by the blending of different cultures

and ideas: “[I] always keep my eyes and ears open, especially while traveling, for new inspiration for my menus. It’s important to keep yourself immersed in the language of food and how it applies to everyone, everywhere. Then you can add your own personal spin on it.” Samuelsson rose to prominence as the executive chef at Aquavit, when he had the distinct honor of being the youngest chef ever to receive a three-star review from The New York Times. Soon thereafter, he opened Red Rooster Harlem in the neighborhood he has called home for years. The choice of location was very deliberate— the goal was “to provide another regular spot for locals to enjoy, and also to bring new jobs to artists and musicians in the neighborhood, as well as to host a Downtown crowd up in Harlem, so more people would make the trip uptown and get a real feel for how special Harlem really is.” Samuelsson says his television career developed naturally after he was asked to be a judge on Chopped and found that he loved the experience of working with upand-coming chefs. Samuelsson also credits Chopped with introducing him to a lot of his greatest friends, and says that the judges “have all become a tight-knit group and look forward to seeing each other on and off set.” When Marc Murphy isn’t appearing on millions of TV screens across the country as a judge on Chopped or out promoting his cookbook, Season With Authority,

and bite-size crème brûlée don’t hurt, of course, and neither does the free cotton candy for kids or house-made caramels that come with your bill. His debut cookbook, which was released on Apr. 28, was also created with accessibility in mind. “It’s not about crazy, expensive ingredients,” he promises. “The main goal is to just get people excited about cooking. It’s an easy-to-deal-with cookbook.” The experience of being a judge on Chopped has affirmed all the things Murphy truly loves about cooking and the reasons he got into the restaurant business: the camaraderie that has developed between the judges, being inspired by the “beautiful” ingredients that the contestants use to create dishes, and the fact that he sees himself in some of the contestants. “Sometimes you just see misfits like me who were terrible in school come through, and you think, if it weren’t for a professional kitchen, I don’t know what would have happened to that guy, I don’t know what would have happened to me,” he reveals. It’s clear that Murphy also gets a kick out of being a television celebrity because it draws new customers to his restaurants. “Oh, it’s cute as hell when you see some 10-year-old kid from Texas who came in with his mom and was really excited to come to my restaurant because they saw me on Chopped,” he laughs. “To me, that is just adorable.”

he’s busy running his four restaurants in New York City: Landmarc, his flagship; Landmarc at the Time Warner Center; Ditch Plains, a casual faux surf shack; and Kingside, a New American restaurant in the Viceroy Hotel. How did he get where he is? To hear him tell it, it all started because he was dyslexic as a child, did horribly at school and needed to find something he could do to make money so he could keep up with one thing he knew he really liked: eating. The son of a diplomat, Murphy was born in Milan and moved all over Europe with his family, so he was always exposed to fine food. While living on his brother’s couch in New York, he decided to try cooking school, got addicted to the lifestyle and the adrenaline, and found his path as a successful chef and restaurateur. The word “accessibility” comes up a lot in conversation with Murphy, and it clearly underpins his business philosophy. When he opened Landmarc 11 years ago, his goal was to create a neighborhood bistro with an accessible wine list, where “people could afford to come two or three times a week instead of two or three times a year.” Murphy credits this emphasis—on being a restaurant where everybody can find something they want on the menu, wines are minimally marked up and the waitstaff consists of genuinely nice people—as the secret to his success.

After a spectacular dinner, nothing but an extraordinary dessert will do. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where to find it. By Karen Tina Harrison Photograhed by Evan Sung

ome might compare New Yorkers to fresh pastry: crusty on the outside, soft and sweet on the inside. Maybe that explains the local passion for dessert, and dessert trends. After all, before the Big Apple birthed the Cronut, it invented New York cheesecake, baked Alaska and the Oreo. So what’s cooking now? The latest craze is dessert bars: alluring cafés and boîtes that, unlike bakeries, stay open late for true believers. The places mentioned here welcome patrons until at least 11 p.m., so you can skip the dessert menu at the restaurant where you are dining and try something different. These are, after all, some of the best after-dinner sweet spots in town. You’d expect Northern Italian flair from a caffé, gelateria and pasticceria named for the patron saint of Milan and set amid Madison Avenue’s Italian designer boutiques. You’d be right. At Sant Ambroeus (1000 Madison Ave., 212.570.2211), fresh-baked, traditional Milanese dolci tempt sweet-toothed Upper East Siders and visitors. Cakes and tarts are displayed like jewels behind crystalline glass cases, and their flavors are just as refined. Nocciola and gianduia desserts spotlight hazelnut; a lemon tart is made with shortbread crust and filled with lemon cream; and the Sant Ambroeus is an all-chocolate love affair.

Another tradition reigns at The Champagne Bar at the Plaza (768 Fifth Ave., 212.546.5311). This elegant roost occupies the hotel’s marble-laden, chandelier-lit hall, where the original Champagne Porch hosted New York’s high-society crowd a century ago. Today, you don’t need white tie and tails to tipple. But you will need to be decisive, because The Champagne Bar offers three seating areas, with one menu (created by Geoffrey Zakarian) but varied moods. One is a café whose tables take in Grand Army Plaza, its Pulitzer Fountain and spring-blooming pear trees. Up a marble staircase, you’ll find a jazz bar (The Rose Club) and, up a few more steps, a couch-laden lounge. Your dapper waiter will suggest bubbly and dessert pairings. Consider an Imperial Plaza cocktail concocted with champagne and apricot brandy alongside passion-fruit chocolate mousse, or perhaps a delicately fruity French champagne like Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut with a frothy lemon meringue tart. And then toast your splendid taste.

Diagonally across Central Park, Edgar’s Cafe (650 Amsterdam Ave., 212.595.6261) is an Upper West Side haunt for neighborhood regulars like Jerry Stiller, Debra Messing and artist Peter Max, whose fanciful drawings adorn Edgar’s walls. The café is named for Edgar Allan Poe, who wrote “The Raven” while living nearby; let Edgar’s host Ben di Benedetto point out the cafe’s blackbird imagery. And then indulge. A raven-dark chocolate truffle cake and liberally frosted carrot cake are among Edgar’s 40-plus desserts sourced from the city’s top bakeries. Have you said “nevermore” to tiramisu? The house version, from Ben’s Sicilian family recipe, will restore your faith. A few miles Downtown, HARBS (198 Ninth Ave., 646.336.6888) brings modern Japanese café culture to the island’s Hudson River shores. Upfront, where its billowy cakes are sold, this cheery shop resembles a French patisserie. Its central room feels like an English tea parlor, and its sociable

Chocolate fondue from AYZA Wine & Chocolate Bar comes with bananas, fresh strawberries and plump marshmallows.

back room has the buzzy camaraderie of a New York java joint. HARBS’ delicate cakes and pies are handcrafted, baked on the premises and served in enormous wedges. Many are lavished with airy vanilla or chocolate cream, and some are layered with sliced strawberry and honeydew. AYZA Wine & Chocolate Bar (1 Seventh Ave. So., 212.365.2992) revives a bygone tradition: the Greenwich Village coffeehouse, with cozy tables, art-covered walls and jazz wafting overhead. But the lift you get here isn’t from caffeine. It’s from cacao. AYZA celebrates chocolate’s seductive power: in intense truffles from New York chocolatier Jacques Torres, in chocolate fondue made from top-shelf Belgian bittersweet and in sophisticated chocolate martinis. Wines are chosen for their choco-compatibility, and, to make the point, they’re served with a truffle. There’s no escape from chocolate at AYZA, and you won’t want to. The booze is baked into the desserts at Spirited (638 Bergen St., Brooklyn, 718.783.5700), which lures patrons of nearby Barclays Center and the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Owner Kimberly Wetherell refers to her atmospheric, restored 1891 corner tavern as a “dessert speakeasy.” Seasonal craft cocktails, like the vodka-based Breukelen Zoo, exotically flavored with honey vodka and lavender, are unique. Wetherell’s dessert creations shelter their own secret, too: They’re all infused with spirits. Must-tries include miraculously ungreasy churro

doughnuts made with Brooklyn Brewery Ale, and a Pink champagne cake, lavished with champagne-vanilla buttercream frosting. You’ll feel the spirit. In the historic gathering place of Union Square, chocoholics unite at Max Brenner Chocolate Bar (841 Broadway, 646.467.8803). This temple to the cacao bean leaves no craving behind. Eight versions of hot cocoa can be made with milk, dark or white chocolate. There’s a menu page for milkshakes, one for chocolate crepes and one for waffles. And then there are fondues, sundaes and baked desserts. This tasty place is open till 2 a.m. on weekends for those midnight cravings. Max Brenner understands. City foodies who don’t mind waiting for a table swarm to ChikaLicious Dessert Bar (203 E. 10th St., 212.475.0929). Only 20 seats surround the open kitchen of Japanese-born, New York-trained pâtissier Chika Tillman. She has one menu: a $16, three-course prix fixe comprising an amuse-bouche, a main dessert and petits fours. Chika describes the “meal” as “American desserts, French presentation and Japanese tasting portions.” Her desserts change daily, but you can count on the warm chocolate tart with pink peppercorn ice cream and the restaurant’s famous fromage blanc island cheesecake, crustless and served on ice. Each dish has a suggested pairing of a dessert wine like Moscato or port, because at ChikaLicious, just like all these other heavenly spots around town, life is sweet.

brooklyn beat

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

CARROLL GARDENS, a quick ride on the F train, is a laidback, highly walkable slice of Brooklyn, where you can enjoy an egg cream at an old-fashioned soda shop, some of the best old-school pizza and Italian baked goods in New York City, and inventive, innovative fare from modern chefs who are changing the game.

THIS NEIGHBORHOOD has remained chain-store free with spots like Swallow (dearswallow.com), a gift shop that sells artistic jewelry, home goods and sculpture with a naturalistic influence. Tiny Brooklyn (tinybrooklyn.com) has some of the cutest baby clothes on the planet. Peruse the furniture and knickknacks at Yesterday’s News (yesterdays news.biz), the racks of used vinyl at Black Gold Records (blackgold brooklyn.com) and the menswear at Olaf’s Men’s Vintage (347.457.5796, no website).

FOR MORE ON BROOKLYN, GO TO INNEWYORK.COM/BROOKLYN

No foodie should leave Carroll Gardens without taking advantage of the excellent Italian-influenced eats available—hit up Caputo’s Fine Foods (718.855.8852, no website) for an authentic Italian sub and, if you don’t mind a line, Lucali (lucali.com) for pizza that will ruin you for the rest (plus, a favorite of Jay Z and Beyoncé). For other great fare, book dinner at Dover (dover brooklyn.com), a delicious newcomer serving high-end, seasonal dishes with an impressive wine list. Prime Meats (frankspm .com), whose name tells you all you need to know about what to expect from the menu, is very popular with locals. For a change of pace, Nightingale 9 (nightingale9.com) offers up Vietnamese favorites with a modern twist like pork and wood ear spring roll.

CARROLL GARDENS The leafy, brownstone-studded neighborhood is best known for its excellent restaurants, picturesque gardens and trees, and the influence of its largely Italian-American population that now shares the neighborhood with young professionals who have been moving in from Manhattan.

START YOUR DAY with a life-altering breakfast sandwich and coffee from Court Street Grocers (courtstreetgrocers .com), which also sells hard-to-find specialty food items in its well-curated shop. My personal faves are Cheerwine cherry soda from North Carolina and Zapp’s chips from New Orleans. If you want to linger over your meal a little more, there is a panoply of stellar brunch spots, including Buttermilk Channel (buttermilkchannelnyc .com), which is famed for its fried chicken and waffles; Frankie’s 457 (frankies spuntino.com), where you can chow down on a truly transcendent BLT in a beautiful backyard; or Wilma Jean (wilmajean345.com), a casual Southern eatery serving seriously good pimento cheese and chips. For a morning sweet fix, Brooklyn Farmacy (brooklynfarmacyandsoda fountain.com) delivers egg creams, sundaes and milkshakes in a retro sodaA sundae at Buttermilk fountain setting.
