If you don’t want to get on the wrong side of the fashion police, you better not call “Rei Kawakubo/ Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between” a retrospective of the avant-garde designer. No, the extravaganza at the Metropolitan Museum of Art is a “thematic” show. Ambiguity is in vogue on this runway. | metmuseum .org, thru Sept. 4

Classic Gold
The metallic gold walls and goldflecked black pillars may be the first thing to catch your eye at Acne Studios’ new Upper East Side flagship, but don’t let the opulence deceive you: The real showstoppers are the biker jackets, loose-fitting zippered trenches in primary colors, indigo denim shorts, and shoes adorned in animal patterns, metallics and more for women and men. Of particular note in the spring/summer, pre-fall and fall 2017 collections: Fitted tops and billowing outlines (inspired by “the open flow of information in the digital age,” according to the company website), unfinished edges and peculiar patterns. | Acne Studios, 926 Madison Ave., 212.249.2871
Set Sail The recently opened North Sails flagship store includes maritime decor touches like sailcloth and teak flooring, which help emphasize how functional the apparel is—insulated vests, windresistant and waterproof blazers with hoods and high collars, swimwear and cozy knits in bold colors—as well as accessories like trapeze harnesses, full-face snorkel masks, water-repellent backpacks and sailing bags. And if you thought the large video screens were just for ambience, stop by for one of the company’s interactive video screenings, presentations or dinners with America’s Cup winners to experience otherwise. | North Sails, 108 Fifth Ave., 646.518.8308

THEATER NEWS by Francis Lewis
Sweets for the Sweet It was a no-brainer: We asked each of the three boys who alternate in the title role in “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” to name his favorite candy. Even though they are all named Ryan ( pictured below, with John Rubinstein and Emily Padgett, who play Charlie’s Grandpa Joe and mom), when it comes to sweets, these young actors (making their Broadway debuts!) have anything but cookie-cutter taste buds. | “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” LuntFontanne Theatre, 205 W. 46th St., 877.250.2929

Lucas Steele as Anatole (above) seduces the innocent heroine of the musical “Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812” eight performances a week. Do audiences boo? Hardly. They give the actor a standing ovation. “Anatole is not a conscious villain,” Steele explains. “He isn’t aware enough to know that he is doing anything wrong, and he has no idea how deplorable his behavior is. He goes after what he wants, and it’s as simple as that. The outcome of that kind of behavior is where his villainy lies.” | “Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812,” Imperial Theatre, 249 W. 45th St., 212.239.6200

The Power of Live Theater
In telling the backstory of one of Broadway’s most notorious scandals—the closing down of the 1923 production of Sholom Ash’s “God of Vengeance” because of its lesbian love scene and exposé of some of the hypocrisies of organized religion—“Indecent” by Paula Vogel may also light a fire on the Great White Way. “Indecent” is “a love letter to live theater,” says Richard Topol (left), who narrates the play as Lemml, the stage manager of “God of Vengeance.” The character actor, whose eighth Broadway show this is (in 2010, he performed in “The Merchant of Venice” and understudied Al Pacino’s Shylock), cannot imagine being arrested for any production he’s been in, as the real-life actors in “God of Vengeance” were. Instead, he wants audiences to leave the Cort Theater with “a greater openness or willingness to be empathetic to people who are ‘other,’ whether lesbians, immigrants or Jews.” | “Indecent,” Cort Theatre, 138 W. 48th St., 212.239.6200

THE AFTER-DARK SCENE by Joni Sweet
More Than Movies
Rooftop Time
Rooftops and cocktails go hand in hand in NYC’s warmer months, and there’s no better place to kick off the season than the Refinery Rooftop. Located atop a hotel that was once a hat factory, the lounge with romantic twinkle lights and plenty of foliage offers grand views of the Empire State Building. The cocktail list features a wide array of fruit accents—the Refined Vesper, for example, is sprayed with a mist of grapefruit, while the Martini Thyme includes peach puree and lime. | Refinery Rooftop, 63 W. 38th St., 646.664.0372

Hollywood Underground
Hollywood may be situated on the West Coast, but if you get a hankering for that kind of glitz here, you’ll need to go underground, to Slowly Shirley. The subterranean cocktail lounge, located beneath The Happiest Hour cocktail lounge in the West Village, celebrates the glamour of the silver screen with Oscar statue light sconces, vintage photos of classic movie stars and Art Deco decor. Creative cocktails (including the Bunsen Honeydew, below), are king here—the menu includes a section called “The Three Families,” with riffs on martinis, Manhattans and old-fashioneds. Soak it all up with dainty tea sandwiches or smoked fish dip. | Slowly Shirley, 121 W. 10th St., 212.243.2827

The recently opened iPic Theaters at the South Street Seaport offers cozy viewing pods and table service during the flick. But don’t fill up on popcorn during the movie—The Tuck Room, the tavern upstairs on the third floor (above, right), features tempting eats, like Reuben croquettes, Korean short ribs sliders and lobster rolls. Cocktails, too, impress. Bartenders make the ginger beer in-house, using Perrier and demerara, to pack plenty of zest in cocktails like the Lemon-Berry Mule and the Dark and Extra Stormy; they even make a simple Manhattan look good (above, left). You can purchase tickets to the latest film at iPic, but The Tuck Room may become the feature presentation of the night. | The Tuck Room, 11 Fulton St., 212.776.8273

Sculpture, like painting, is classified as old media, but that doesn’t mean it’s stodgy. Just stroll through the 2017 Whitney Biennial, where sculpture conveys contemporary ideas as deftly as the digital art and other new media it mixes with. Or drop by these shows, each demonstrating how vibrant, versatile and thrilling multidimensional art can be. (1) For over five decades, Melvin Edwards has transformed utilitarian metals like hooks, chains and spikes into powerful abstract sculptures informed by the history of violence, labor and race. Begun during his recent residency at Oklahoma Contemporary Art Center, “In Oklahoma” fills two floors with muscular new work like “Long” (2016). Alexander Gray Associates, 510 W. 26th St., 212.399.2636, thru May 20 (2) Is it a coincidence that horse sculptor Deborah Butterfield was born the same day as the 75th running of the Kentucky Derby? Collecting what she calls “stray, downed pieces of wood,” Butterfield is inspired by what she finds. Her skeletal bronze “Blaze” (2016) was built from unsul-

(3) Probing the distinctions between art and design,“Solid Doubts: Robert Stadler at the Noguchi Museum” pairs sculptor Isamu Noguchi’s poetic minimalism with contemporary Austrian designer Stadler’s witty conceptualism. Consider how Noguchi’s delicate light sculptures like “Akari [1N]” (1968) converse with a room of Stadler’s Dalí-esque, tufted-leather sofas and poufs. Noguchi Museum, 9-01 33rd Rd., Long Island City, Queens, 718.204.7088, thru Sept. 3 (4) Early in his career, Pop artist Jim Dine blurred the lines between painting and sculpture, amplifying his canvases with paintbrushes, clothing and other autobiographical artifacts. “Primary Objects” showcases cheeky 1960s mashups like “My Tuxedo Makes an Impressive Blunt Edge to the Light” (1965).

BY BRIAN SCOTT LIPTON
4/7/17 2:17 PM
“I COULD NEVER HAVE IMAGINED this year even if I tried,” says Allison Janney, calling from Los Angeles on the final day of shooting her upcoming film, “I, Tonya” (she plays the mother of former Olympic figure skater Tonya Harding). “It’s not just that I didn’t know I would be doing all the things I am doing: It’s also that I didn’t think about them once they happened. I got opportunities and just kept working.” Janney’s can-do attitude, along with her sheer prowess, has made the 57-year-old star one of the busiest and most honored actresses in show business. (She has a remarkable seven Emmy Awards for her roles on “The West Wing,”“Masters of Sex” and her current gig, “Mom,” the CBS sitcom, in which she plays Bonnie, a recovering alcoholic living with her grown daughter.) Additionally, she has appeared in films including “Primary Colors” (1998), “10 Things I Hate About You” and “American Beauty” (both 1999), “The Help” (2011) and “The Girl on the Train” (2016). Unfortunately, her nonstop schedule in Hollywood has limited her New York stage work. Janney did perform in the 1999 Public Theater/Shakeskpeare in the Park production of “The Taming of the Shrew,” but she has made only three Broadway appearances since 1997: Noël Coward’s “Present Laughter,” Arthur Miller’s “A View From the Bridge” and the musical “9 to 5.” Now, she’s back on the boards for a limited run of John Guare’s acclaimed drama “Six Degrees of Separation,” playing society matron Ouisa Kittredge, whose family becomes the victim of Paul, a young African-American con artist who claims to be the son of Sidney Poitier. I recently spoke to Janney about this project, returning to New York and the biggest wish on her bucket list. What is it about the role of Ouisa Kittredge and the story of “Six Degrees” that drew you?
The play deals with race, class, the idea of belonging. These are themes that are not just universal, but I think resonate really strongly now, especially with social media and people not making personal connections. Also, there’s a line that Ouisa says about how we each have our own truth, and I think that that should land with audiences in a huge way. Everyone has their own version of truth, and people believe they can live their own way—until something unmoors them. After Paul comes into their lives, the Kittredges become unmoored, and Ouisa ultimately has this huge awakening: She doesn’t know who she is. I think this play will stand the test of time, and I am so honored that they waited for me to revive it on Broadway.
PHOTO: KATE ROMERO
I’ve known you for over a decade, and you are so different from Ouisa. How will you step into her shoes?
I don’t know why I have an affinity for these socialite women. We didn’t run in those social circles in Dayton, Ohio, where I grew up. Now, my aunt and grandma in Long Island had friends like her, and I would meet them when I went to New York City. I truly idolized my grandmother, and in a way, I am paying tribute to her when I play someone like Ouisa. Does it help that you have a long history with John Benjamin Hickey, who is playing your husband, Flan?
Of course. He is one of my favorite people to be with, on or off
the stage. We started in New York together; one of my first big theatrical parts was opposite him in “Blue Window” Off-Broadway. I think our history would be there even if we just stood on the stage doing nothing. Did you miss doing theater these past 10 years?
It’s hard memorizing all those lines, especially when you’re working on other projects, but what I love about theater is that moment when I get out there on the stage. There is a fluidity you don’t get elsewhere, a movement from beginning to end within the structure of a play. I love that security. But I also love the freedom of theater; I find an enormous freedom in it being different every night. I can honestly say my theater experiences are more vivid to me than anything else. Ouisa is a mother. Bonnie is a mother. You’re playing Tonya Harding’s mother in this film. But you have no children. How does that work for you?
First, I adore my mother, and I draw on her for some of the mothers I play, as I do with my grandmother Sippy. I have nieces and nephews, and I draw on that bond. But to be honest, I’ve never murdered someone either, or have been a presidential press secretary. It’s why they call it acting. Do you have a bucket list of parts to play?
I would love to do more theater, especially new plays, or a Stephen Sondheim musical, since I love the way he writes for actors. I think it would be really fun to be a villain in a James Bond movie. And I would love to be an action hero. I want my Quentin Tarantino moment, like that Uma Thurman/Daryl Hannah fight scene in “Kill Bill.” But the thing I want to do most is host “Saturday Night Live.” I know I am on the wrong network, but maybe they would overlook that. I could do a great Betsy DeVos (United States Secretary of Education) imitation. And it would be even better if I could do it with my friends Octavia Spencer and Melissa McCarthy. Remarkable women. Are you glad to be back in New York?
Absolutely! Going to Bar Centrale or Sardi’s after the show is something I miss when I’m not here. I love just strolling through Central Park. I love the subway; I think it’s the least frustrating way of traveling in New York, other than walking. And I love running into old friends and feeling like a part of the Broadway community. We don’t have that in Los Angeles. All I do there is drive. It’s my little bubble, sort of like my office, so I’ll miss that a little. But what I think I’ll miss most are my dogs. I feel like they’re my kids, and I am abandoning them. But New York is too much for them, and I know they’ll be fine at home. Do you have any advice for young actors?
Be ready for any opportunity and be willing to take it on. I knew from early on in life that I wanted not to be afraid of anything. I could’ve gotten that spirit from my dad, who always told me to put on my big-girl pants and just do it. I never thought I could get through something like “9 to 5” [Janney had never done a Broadway musical before], but I did it in spite of my fear. I guess my advice would be “own the fear.” IN NEW YORK | MAY 2017 | INNEWYORK.COM

NOWADAYS, we share everything: photos on Instagram, news on Facebook, UberPool rides with strangers. And we share our food in restaurants, too. The small-plate trend that rules the dining scene in New York City is built around the idea of sharing. Restaurants cater to guests who want to enjoy multiple dishes with their fellow diners, along with their followers on social media. What’s more, in this food-obsessed town, small plates mean everybody gets to try a little somethin’. “It’s an ethos to live by. People can share a couple of safe things and a couple of adventurous things,” says Chef/restaurateur Ken Oringer, co-chef and co-owner of the tapas restaurant Toro, which has locations in Boston and New York City. Small-plate dining, he believes, encourages intrepid eating. To be sure, “small plates” and sharing have always been the norm in some food cultures. In Israeli and Mediterranean cuisines, mezes—small, shared dishes that appear at the start of a meal—are arguably the most meaningful part. In Spain, eating tapas is a cultural experience; it’s about community as much as it is about food. But this style of eating has seeped beyond those culinary borders. New American restaurants are creating menus where every dish, large or small, is meant to be shared. “Most people want to go out now, especially with a group, and eat a lot of different things,” explains Einat Admony, chef/owner of Balaboosta, Bar Bolonat and Taïm. “We just order food, and we pass it around. No one has their own dish.” At Chef Dan Kluger’s new restaurant Loring Place (21 W. 8th St., 212.388.1831), the menu is divided into five sections: breads, spreads and snacks; small plates; pastas; pizzas and large plates. Guests share dishes from all sections at this warm and welcoming restaurant. The former chef at ABC Kitchen and ABC Cocina relies heavily on vegetables, and small plates are where they truly shine.

“Often the dish starts from the vegetable up. It used to be all about the protein,” Kluger says. A leeks and pears plate, for example, is built of these two ingredients. The pears are raw, while the leeks are blanched and charred in the wood-fired grill’s embers: They play off each other in a flavorful way and are accompanied by sweet and crunchy candied walnuts, celery, yogurt and sherry vinaigrette. Another highlight on the small-plates menu is fluke crudo. Prepared with a careful touch, the fish is sliced in thin slivers and served with crunchy radishes, puffed and crispy rice poha, and citrus chili vinaigrette. A wood-burning grill turns out protein-forward dishes like halibut with braised mushrooms and chicken with roasted carrots and carrot-hazelnut romesco. Walking into Balaboosta (214 Mulberry St., 212.966.7366) feels a bit like entering someone’s well-
18
loved home. Tables are clustered close together, framed photos decorate the wall, and the air is redolent with spice. Chef Admony’s menu may sound familiar to some, but the dishes surprise with their adventurous spirit. Hummus, for example, is served do-it-yourself-style. Only partially prepared, you mash it to your desired consistency with a mortar and pestle (a foodie group activity, if ever there was one). Nearly every table orders the fried olives to share, Admony says. Plump and briny, the mix of manzanilla and kalamata olives are fried schnitzelstyle and served over a smear of organic housemade labne and harissa oil. And don’t miss the crispy chicken “Under a Brick,” served with earthy Israeli couscous, apricots, leeks and gremolata. Even though it’s a larger dish, the restaurant encourages sharing it. How appropriate that the restaurant inside the Met

Breuer museum, Flora Bar (945 Madison Ave., 646.558.5383), sends from its kitchen dishes that also look like works of art. Take, for example, the purple endive salad. The leaves are arranged into a flower pattern, each overlapping the next. Nestled underneath are crunchy pecans and bites of Bayley Hazen blue cheese, and the whole dish is dressed in olive oil, honey, shaved lemon peel and sorrel juice. Like Ignacio Mattos and Thomas Carter’s other NYC restaurants, Estela and Café Altro Paradiso, everything at Flora Bar is designed to be shared, from the tuna tartare with truffles to the lobster and crab dumplings in yuzu broth. But some dishes (like the lobster dumplings, so pure in flavor) are too delicious to give up even one bite. Eating tapas is all about camaraderie, and that’s just what you’ll find at Toro (85 10th Ave., 212.691.2360), located in a gigantic open warehouse space just steps from the Hudson River. The fun, casual vibe that cocktails and tapas conjure up spills over from table to table, from the bar area to large group tables. Co-owners and chefs Ken Oringer and Jamie Bissonnette’s menu features Spanish tapas and classic dishes like paella; the cocktail list is also Spanish influenced. “I was totally blown away by the tapas culture [in Spain]. It is about the importance of getting together, breaking bread, drinking and hanging out,” Oringer says. “Restaurants should be all about enjoying the people you’re with.” Menu highlights at Toro include the rich and umami-packed bocadillo de erizos, a panino-like pressed sandwich with sea urchin, pickled mustard seeds and miso butter; and pulpo (octopus) cooked a la plancha. Some restaurants take the atmosphere as seriously as they do the menu. Take Vandal (199 Bowery, 212.400.0199), where the experience goes beyond the culinary. The eatery is party-oriented, the music is loud enough to inspire dancing, and nearly every square inch of the space is decorated in graffiti and modern art (including a break-dancing purple rabbit as tall as the ceiling). The menu was designed with sharing in mind. Celebrity chef Chris Santos (“Chopped”) says small plates “encourage social interaction.” Observes Santos: “It’s more communal. You get to see, eat and celebrate more dishes throughout the night.” Meanwhile, the menu spans the culinary spectrum: Guests can munch on foods as diverse as American Kobe beef carpaccio, yellowtail sashimi, spicy Korean rice cakes with kimchi, pork carnitas and Lebanese-spiced yogurt with bread. Chef Michael Psilakis runs a handful of Greek and Mediterranean-inspired restaurants, and Kefi (505 Columbus Ave., 212.873.0200), open since 2006, may be the most accessible of them all, thanks to the relaxed atmosphere and communal vibe. From dips to sandwiches to mezes—such as grilled octopus served with a chickpea salad, and meatballs with tomatoes, roasted garlic and olives—sharing as a style of dining translates across the menu. “Meze is part of the experience [of eating Greek food],” Psilakis explains. “The idea here is to offer guests this home-style approach to dining.” IN NEW YORK | MAY 2017 | INNEWYORK.COM

NEW YORK BIRTHED THE GLOBAL COCKTAIL CRAZE, and if you let it, the city will make a mixology maven out of you. These enterprising bars perfect their shaking and stirring by zeroing in on a single type of liquor in all its glory, while still offering other drinks and food menus. You’ll revive yourself body and soul at these solo-spirit specialists.
Caribbean’s Bounty
You may or may not strike it rich at Times Square’s TKTS booth with orchestra seats to a Broadway hit, but at The Rum House (228 W. 47th St., 646.490.6924), a halfblock away, you’ll mine liquid gold. This vintage New York saloon is a treasure chest of rum, the New World’s empire-making export. “Rum will warm you up or cool you off,” says mixologist Abel Rodriguez. “It knows what you need.” The Rum House pours six dozen rums, plus a legion of intriguing cocktails: From sunny daiquiris, mojitos and piña coladas to worldly concoctions like the Tortuga and the Jungle Bird. Your taste buds will tell you why pirates waged war for the sugarcane spirit.
Europe’s Enduring Gift
Eastern Europe’s Elixir
ury lovers, from velvety blends to rarefied single-malt “expressions” born and barreled on misty Hebridean isles. Highlands’ bartenders are stewards of the spirit, selecting whiskey tasting flights to accommodate and expand your tastes, and crafting complex cocktails like the sultry Blood and Sand: an exaltation of Scotland’s nectar. It’s time to cue the bagpipes.
The appeal of this Theater District bar goes beyond its authentic small-town look, earnest welcome and hearty noshes. The big-pour cocktails at the Russian Vodka Room (265 W. 52nd St., 212.307.5835), vodka-based and otherwise, are as precisely calibrated as Sputnik rockets. And don’t say “nyet” to a bet on the house’s 18 infused vodkas. These mixology miracles begin as crystalline Smirnoff and Stolichnaya [vodkas]. Then they’re steeped for two weeks in fruits, herbs or spices. The result: flavor bombs. Try the horseradish, jalapeño or garlic. Odds are you’ll be a Russian vodka lover before you head back home.
Mexico’s Tequila and Mezcal
Well-Bred Scotch
Is there room in your high-proof heart for another sensational Spanish-accented spirit? Raymi Peruvian Kitchen and Pisco Bar (43 W. 24th St., 212.929.1200) acquaints sophisticated drinkers with Peru’s mixable masterpiece. Named for the town that originally produced it, pisco is
A visit to this cozy tavern, perched on a dignified West Village lane, emulates a convivial evening in Edinburgh. Highlands (150 W. 10th St., 212.229.2670) harbors scores of whiskeys, the libation most lusted after by lux-

A classic pisco sour at Pisco Bar
With locations in TriBeCa and Hell’s Kitchen, Añejo (301 Church St., 212.920.6270; 668 10th Ave., 212.920.4770) has cornered the mercado for New York tequila tipplers. Añejo, meaning “aged,” designates Mexico’s tip-top tequila, and this complex “sipping spirit” is the equal of any elite liquor. House mixmasters induce bliss-in-a-glass with margaritas that make magic from tequila, lime and sugar. The passionate Sangre del Bronx cocktail erupts with blood-orange essence and mezcal infused with corn, Aztec-style.
Peru’s Proud Pisco

Today’s well-bred gins are as far from the evil stuff plastic-cupped at frat parties as The Gin Parlour at the InterContinental Barclay (111 E. 48th St., 212.755.5900) is from the typical hotel bar. This enclave of inspired imbibing showcases the country’s biggest selection of gins: over a hundred brands, lit like jewels within the 360º oval bar. Connoisseurs can further customize their gin martini or gin and tonics with myriad tonics, vermouths and bitters. But to see why gin is suddenly so in, point a swizzle stick at Beverage Director Orion Berge’s captivating cocktails like the velvety Clover Club or the gaily garnished Dorothy Parker. Gin, born in the Middle Ages as a botanical healing potion, still makes us feel good. Just how good, you will learn here.

strong, undiluted brandy distilled from grapes, reminding some aficionados of grappa. This glittering bar within a fine Peruvian eatery is the city’s acknowledged pisco authority. Your savvy bartender will suggest a pisco sour cocktail, Peru’s national drink, with its own annual holiday. It took you and pisco this long to meet, but now it’s love at first sip.
Japanese Shochu and Sake
Juban (207 10th Ave., 646.398.9770), located near The High Line in Chelsea, is named after both the word for “ten” and a high-design neighborhood in central Tokyo. Juban transports you there. Its snug and cordial bar displays artful bottles of sake rice wine and Japan’s shochu clear liquor, offered for tasting in artful ceramic cups. Some shochus are distilled once, conveying intriguing hints of the rice, barley, sweet potato, sugarcane or green tea they were made from. Other shochus, distilled multiple times for smoothness, are atingle with lychee, ginger or minty shiso leaf. Add a side of Juban’s vegetable yakisoba or a plate of sushi, and suddenly you’re in Tokyoby-the-Hudson.
Greece’s Prized Mastiha
Kellari‘s Skinos Fresh, made with Skinos mastiha liqueur
If you’ve come to New York to spot trends-to-come, have we got some news for you. The bar at Kellari (19 W. 44th St., 212.221.0144), an inviting Greek restaurant near Bryant Park and Times Square, flaunts a rare spirit that not even early adopters are hip to yet: mastiha liqueur, distilled only on the Aegean island of Chios from the sap of the mastic tree. This unique substance’s healing properties and refreshing flavor were prized in the ancient world, and mastic resin is used today to flavor chewing gum, ice cream and “Turkish delight” confections. Kellari’s mastiha liquors add a zesty, not sugary, spin to ingenious cocktails like the Roots Mojito, Bloody Roots and Skinos Fresh. You’ll see: Mastiha is where mythology meets mixology.
Artistic Absinthe
The Gin Parlour’s Monkey Gland
When they put their quill pens and paintbrushes down for the day, 19th-century artists like Vincent van Gogh, poet Charles Baudelaire and writer Edgar Allan Poe cozied up to an absinthe fountain—the drinking craze of their time. Ultra-high-proof, anise-flavored and nicknamed “the green fairy” for its prime ingredient, wormwood, absinthe was reputed to induce hallucinations. An antique absinthe fountain topped with a likeness of Napoleon Bonaparte endures at Maison Premiere (298 Bedford Ave., Williamsburg, Brooklyn, 347.335.0446). The 2016 James Beard Award for Outstanding Bar Program went to this boîte, which recreates the absinthe ritual with frosty Lucid absinthe—which claims to be the first absinthe distilled with real Grande Wormwood in more than 95 years. Enjoy with platters of plump oysters on the side, for this era’s inspiration-seeking artists. See if the green fairy appears before your eyes. IN NEW YORK | MAY 2017 | INNEWYORK.COM

About Buses There are approximately 5,900 air-conditioned buses on over 300 routes. Buses stop at street corners about every three blocks. Look for signposts marked with a bus emblem and route number. Most buses operate btw 5 am and 2 am, while certain buses run 24 hours a day. Select Bus Service on First and Second aves. (btw South Ferry & E. 126th St.), as well as 34th St. (from the FDR Dr. to the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center), requires riders to pay their fares prior to boarding and to enter through any of three doors. Schedules and maps are posted at stops.
About Subways There are 24 subway lines designated by either a route number or letter, serving 469 stations. Round-the-clock, air-conditioned service is provided seven days a week. Subways run every 2-5 mins. during rush hours, 10-15 mins. during the day and about every 20 mins. btw midnight and 5 am. Stops are clearly posted and subway maps are on view at stations and in every car.
Cost of Ride The cost of a subway trip varies, from $3 for a single fare to $2.75 if you are buying more than one ride (in which case, various discounts are also available). For buses, you need exact change (no bills or pennies). You can purchase MetroCards at subway station booths and vending machines, train terminals and select stores throughout NYC. Pay for Select Bus Service with a MetroCard or coins (exact change only) at fare collection machines at designated bus stops. For assistance in English and Spanish, call 718.330.1234, or log onto web.mta.info.
Getting Around
The maps indicate MTA bus and subway routes. Each line is in a different color.
