“When a person is dancing, everything comes into connection: the mind, the body, the spirit,” says Emily Molnar, artistic director of Ballet BC. “To watch dance is a transformative possibility.” It has been more than 15 years since Ballet BC, the innovative contemporary dance company based in Vancouver, Canada, has made the transcontinental—and transformative—journey to New York’s Joyce Theater.

THEATER NEWS by Francis Lewis
Cirque Comes to Broadway
In the uncertain, here-today, gone-tomorrow world of live theater, this much is certain: When winners of Broadway’s 2016 Tony Awards are announced on June 12, “Hamilton” will take home the prize for Best Musical. The hip-hop sensation, nominated for a record-setting 16 awards, deserves the buzz and, consequently, is sold out for months to come. However, other new Broadway musicals, with or without Tony recognition, are not to be missed. And tickets to them are far easier
As associate creative director and scene director of Cirque du Soleil’s “Paramour” (above), West Hyler has his work cut out for him. The original musical is Cirque’s first venture on Broadway and a major departure from its usual spectacle. “There are dialogue scenes, and characters erupt into song when emotion overtakes them,” Hyler explains. That’s where his expertise as a theater director comes in. But the show also needs someone “who isn’t afraid of circus,” someone who can integrate the gymnasts, jugglers, clowns and aerial straps artists for which Cirque is renowned into the narrative about a young actress in Hollywood’s Golden Age. Having previously directed two Big Apple Circus shows, Hyler fits the bill. As to his own circus skills, they’re not quite up to Cirque’s high standard, as Hyler is quick to admit. “There’s a teeterboard in ‘Paramour,’ where one person jumps on one end and launches the person on the other end. I said I’d like to try it, but I was told—very bluntly—that I don’t have the strength it takes to launch off the board. My knee would go into my nose and break it!” | “Paramour,” Lyric Theatre, 213 W. 42nd St., 877.250.2929
Brave New Role
Actor Matt Bogart has a talent for playing real-life men like singer Robert Goulet in HBO’s “Vinyl” and Nick Massi, one of the Four Seasons, in “Jersey Boys.” Now, after six years as Massi on Broadway, he’s moved on to James Joyce in “Himself and Nora,” the OffBroadway musical about the Irish writer, his muse Nora Barnacle and their tempestuous love story (right, Bogart with Whitney Bashor as Nora). Why leave a safe haven like “Jersey Boys”? Sure, bills have to be paid, Bogart says, but an artist has to grow, too. | “Himself and Nora,” Minetta Lane Theatre, 18 Minetta Lane, 800.745.3000

to procure. Slick, smart and subversive, “American Psycho” is the X-rated tuner that Tony nominators overlooked—egregiously, some would say—in all the major categories. But it’s bloody good and with a killer star turn by Benjamin Walker. Speaking of star quality, the season has been rich in talented actresses making their debuts on Broadway. Casting unforgettable spells are Ana Villafañe as Gloria Estefan in crowd-pleaser “On Your Feet!,” Carmen Cusack in glorious voice in the fortuitously named “Bright Star” and Cynthia Erivo—solid gold in “The Color Purple.” Catch them while you can.

WHAT’S TRENDING ON THE FOODIE SCENE by Lois Levine
Buffalo milk ricotta at Tarallucci E Vino
Above, left: Pan-roasted venison at The Cecil. Above, right: Poppy seed cake at The Lambs Club. Below: Frankie & Johnnie’s Steakhouse.
I’ve always favored Italian “lite”—fresh branzino, airy buffalo milk ricotta, crisp green salad—over heavy pastas, which is why I adored exactly that lunch at Tarallucci E Vino (15 E. 18th St., 212.228.5400), which now has five locations in Manhattan. Farther north, The Cecil (210 W. 118th St., 212.866.1262), the Harlem restaurant that Esquire magazine crowned Best New Restaurant in America in 2014, has undergone a menu revamp, with international dishes such as Northern African panroasted venison. Lunch at the sparkling new, spacious but just as theater-centric as the old Frankie & Johnnie’s Steakhouse (320 W. 46th St., 212.997.9494), with dozens of photos of Broadway luminaries, offers the same generously portioned steaks, tasty creamed spinach and buttery broiled mushrooms. Speaking of theatrical, Jin Capobianco, the new pasty chef at The Lambs Club (132 W. 44th St., 212.997.5262), deserves a standing ovation for her poppy seed cake alone (made with black tea, white chocolate mousse, blueberries and lemon sorbet). Vegan with a passion for pizza? You’ll want to check out 00 + Co (65 Second Ave., 212.777.1608) with offerings like pizza with caramelized eggplant, white truffle cheese plates and more. Here’s the latest on the deli front: Carnegie Deli (854 Seventh Ave., 212.757.2245) has reopened after being shuttered nearly a year for repairs, and Russ & Daughters (1109 Fifth Ave., 212.475.4880), NYC’s famed Lower East Side kosher eatery, now has an outpost in The Jewish Museum.

FASCINATING ART DISPLAYS by Terry Trucco
Cultivating Collectors
How’s this for Depression-era ingenuity: Put artists like Thomas Hart Benton and Grant Wood to work making modestly priced prints and turn middle-class Americans into collectors. “Art for Every Home: Associated American Artists, 1934-2000” shows how AAA did just that and more, branching into pottery like Arvi Tynys’ “Baby Tusk (pitcher)” (below, 1951) and even corporate ad design like James Chapin Boy’s “That’s Tobacco” (above, 1942). | Grey Art Gallery, 100 Washington Sq. East, 212.998.6780, thru July 9
Purposefully Grotesque Galvanized by World War II’s horrors, Jean Dubuffet (1901-1985) spurned traditional ideas of beauty, taste and technique and embraced Art Brut, a raw, uninhibited style that drew inspiration from unschooled “outsider artists,” including the mentally ill. “Anticultural Positions,” the first survey of his early work in 20 years, demonstrates how Dubuffet achieved a nose-thumbing beauty in deliberately grotesque depictions of old men, cows and other unconventional subjects. Amplifying the impact is his use of humble materials like putty, plaster and gravel to create rough surfaces on paintings like “Noël au sol (Christmas on the Ground)” (above, 1955). | Acquavella Galleries, 18 E. 79th St., 212.734.6300, thru June 10
In a Row
“New Paintings,” artist David Reed’s show of six lush abstract pieces, doubles as an installation. Hung in a horizontal line on one white wall, the paintings invite you to scan them from left to right as you might from the window of a passing taxi, an easy feat since each picture shares brushstrokes with those next to it to create one continuous work. But Reed’s rigorous paintings can stand alone. An adjoining wall is bare save for nails should you wish to view “Painting #655” (detail, right, 2003-13/2015-16) or any other by itself. A related drawing from 1975 lets Reed remind us how art flows through time. | Peter Blum Gallery, 20 W. 57th St., 212.244.6055, thru June 25

Empire’s Throne
Never-Ending Negroni
There’s no better place to celebrate Negroni Week (June 6-12) than at The Gilroy, an Upper East Side lounge that has not one, but nine versions of the Italian cocktail on its menu. As if you need an excuse to order the ruby red drink, bars worldwide are donating a portion of sales from select Negroni specials to a charity of their choice. Your drink options at The Gilroy include Cheer Up, Daria (above, left: Milano Green vodka, ginger, lime, pineapple, spiced demerara), the Gilroy Negroni (above, right: Spring44 gin, Punt e Mes, Campari), and just about any modern cocktail you crave (ask the bartenders—they know how to make it). Soak it all up with tastings from the cheese-and-salumi menu. | The Gilroy, 1561 Second Ave., 212.734.8800
Jazz-Age Gem
While I love sampling a 12-ingredient, mixologistprepared concoction, sometimes a simpler, classic cocktail really hits the spot after a long day of writing. Fortunately, Flatiron Lounge aims to satisfy both cravings with a menu focused on standards, along with a few innovative recipes. The dimly lit bar boasts attractive Art Deco design elements, arched ceilings, a blue mirror-encrusted wall, royal red seating and an antique mahogany bar. As for drinks, don’t miss the Gimlet (gin, housemade lime cordial), Prospect Park Sour (rye whiskey, lemon, orange, amaro, maple syrup) and the Pisco Punch (pisco, pineapple, velvet falernum, lemon). Daring drinkers are invited to put their trust in the talented bartenders and order the “Dealer’s Choice”—a mystery cocktail. | Flatiron Lounge, 37 W. 19th St., 212.727.7741

HOT STUFF FOR COOL MEN by Lois Levine
Sole Of A Brit Grenson, the well-known fine shoe brand from Great Britain, has just opened its first store in New York City. The shop, the company’s first stand-alone store outside of the United Kingdom, includes men’s and women’s ready-to-wear shoes along with a “G:lab” studio that allows customers to create their own shoes from a choice of 11 different styles (purchases can be shipped anywhere in the world). Craftsmanship on the shoes is indeed impressive, with closed-channel leather soles (which hide the stitching from view) and materials including French and Italian calf and English suede. The store itself is also inviting, with brick and cherrywood walls and cushioned benches and chairs. | Grenson Shoes, 250 Elizabeth St., 212.510.8713
Cigar Man NYC cigar bars offer fine food, cocktails and, of course, a variety of smokes for your puffing pleasure. Here are three of our favorites: • At the Soho Cigar Bar, enjoy
Yael for Men
Jewelry designer Yael Sonia, popular for her “perpetual motion” pieces for women, has started a men’s line of cuff links, bracelets, necklaces and rings. The new collection favors monochromatic colors and designs inspired by modern architecture and, as with her original collection, motion. Case in point: this “spinning top” diamond pendant necklace, made with black rhodium, 18-karat white gold, white gold bezel and black diamond. | Yael Sonia, 270 Lafayette St., Ste. 810, 212.472.6488 and yaelsonia.com
plush leather chairs and banquettes, art deco chandeliers and clever paintings (like the one of Alfred Hitchock puffing a stogie while an ominous-looking bird sits on the tip). The club sells its own hand-blended cigars, made at its local factory. On the food end, yummy nibbles include bacon-wrapped meatballs with blue cheese and filet mignon-filled croissants. Of course, a full cocktail menu is also available. | 32 Watts
St., 212.941.1781 • Soft lighting, plaid and leather chairs, and, as one patron recently noted, “strong drinks and sultry servers” define Merchants NY Cigar Bar. Noteworthy smokes on the menu include Davidoff, Corojo Figurado and Ashton Churchill. Pair one with a glass of scotch chosen from more than 20 different types on the menu. | 1125 First Ave.,
212.832.4610
Joseph Abboud has just opened its new flagship in NYC. The space boasts a vaulted ceiling, handdrawn charcoal fashion illustrations decorating the walls, and brass-and-glass chandeliers. Highlights from the current collections include sport coats with elbow patches (left), linen suits and cable-knit cotton/ linen blend sweaters, light enough to be worn all summer. | Joseph Abboud, 424 Madison Ave., 212.872.1340

hen Amy Schumer opened for Madonna at Madison Square Garden in September 2015, she told the crowd that she would be back at the venue for her own show on June 23 of the following year. It’s the final date of her spring stand-up comedy tour, and fans can expect the usual from the 35year-old Schumer, whose act, like Madonna’s (her childhood idol), embraces sex and subversive feminism but also takes a swipe at bullies, too, among other subjects. Her particular brand of comedy, honed over the past few years in stand-up and on the big and small screens, selectively mines her colorful past, turns over-sharing into an art form and stealthily tackles the hot topics of the day. Although vocal, Schumer is never preachy. She connects with her audience via an armory of pop-culture references that often belie a deeper meaning. By doing so, she has become the face of funny for her generation. Onstage, Schumer is able to be more daring than on television or film, gleefully jumping from one formerly taboo subject to another and poking fun at any prudish members of the audience who might register a flicker of shock when she talks oh-so candidly about her sex life. Her ability to never seem embarrassed is infectiously liberating for both women and men and gives her performances an edge for an audience reveling in not knowing what might come next. While Schumer, cheerfully, can be self-deprecating in talking about her looks or her weight, she is, in reality, a champion of positive body image. Case in point: Schumer opened the Glamour Women of the Year awards this past November with a hilarious monologue, but a few months later she was less enamored of the magazine when it referenced her as a “plus size” celebrity. She swiftly took to Instagram, posting, “I think there’s nothing wrong with being plus size. Beautiful healthy women. Plus size is considered size 16 in America. I go between a size 6 and an 8. [Glamour magazine] put me in their plus size only issue without asking or letting me know and it doesn’t feel right to me … not cool, Glamour …” Within hours, the debate found its way into her spring tour material, becoming both cathartic and funny. Schumer pivoted last summer to deal with an even more controversial issue: gun control. In July, two women were shot and killed at a Louisiana screening of Schumer’s film “Trainwreck.” Days later, the actress/comedian teamed up with New York Sen. Charles Schumer (her second cousin once removed) to advocate for tighter gun legislation and increased background checks for firearms sales. She raises the subject in her stand-up, too, even though it’s deeply divisive and political. As she points out, it’s her stage. It’s been Schumer’s stage since she started doing stand-up in June 2004 at New York’s Gotham Comedy Club. From there, she appeared on Comedy Central’s “Live at Gotham” and NBC’s reality talent show “Last Comic Standing,” both in 2007. Along the way, she mixed in independent comedy films and appearances on TV shows like “30 Rock” and “Curb Your Enthusiasm” until her profile was high enough to earn her a sketch show on Comedy Central, “Inside Amy Schumer,” which has been renewed for a fifth season. As each year passes, the show has become bolder in its subject
matter. In a series of sketches and interviews, Schumer takes on drug and domestic abuse, relationships and sexual traumas, while routinely skewering hypocrisy wherever she can find it. Last year, an episode written and directed by Schumer spoofed the classic 1957 Hollywood film, “12 Angry Men.” The episode starred Paul Giamatti, Jeff Goldblum and others, debating whether Schumer was hot enough to be on television or should be “put to a media death.” “Inside Amy Schumer” won her Peabody and Emmy awards last year. Her career momentum and celebrity were propelled by the comedy show and her one-hour HBO special, recorded live at New York’s Apollo Theater in May 2015 and broadcast in October, but it was “Trainwreck” that really turned her into an A-list star. Schumer has said she was playing an exaggerated version of her younger self in the movie as a heavy drinking, good-time girl (also called Amy) who shies away from monogamy until she meets the right guy, Aaron, played by Bill Hader. It was very close to autobiographical in its depiction of her character’s relationship with her father, Gordon, also the name of Schumer’s father. Both Gordons suffer from multiple sclerosis and are confined to a wheelchair in an assisted-living facility. Her father earned a very comfortable living from his company that sold upscale baby furniture in Manhattan, where Schumer grew up. But the business went bankrupt, and he was diagnosed with MS when Amy was 12. “He was in physical pain. That’s when I kind of took the lead and took care of everybody in my family,” she told Barbara Walters in a TV interview. “I would keep everybody laughing.” Schumer was Golden Globe nominated for her role in the movie, but lost out this year to Jennifer Lawrence, who won for the film “Joy.” But that hasn’t dented their BFF (best friends forever) status. The two actresses have co-written a screen comedy and will play sisters. Also in the pipeline for Schumer are a film drama, “Thank You for Your Service,” and another comedy film, having coaxed Goldie Hawn out of retirement to play her mom. Later this summer, she’s coming out with her first book, a memoir, “The Girl With the Lower Back Tattoo” while also finding time to help galvanize the youth vote for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. Today, she’s still the one keeping the family together. Her younger sister, Kim Caramele, is a producer on “Inside Amy Schumer” and was an associate producer on “Trainwreck.” The two siblings, who live near each other on the Upper West Side, are working on a television comedy together. Her older half-brother, Jason Stein, is in a threepiece jazz band opening for Amy’s tour dates. He’s based in Chicago, as is Schumer’s boyfriend, furniture designer Ben Hanisch, whom she met last year. Hanisch has already found himself in the spotlight: Schumer recently chatted (enthusiastically) about her boyfriend and his family on “The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon.” But he is doubtless aware that’s part and parcel of being close to Amy Schumer, who simply says it as she sees it. Actress Tilda Swinton, who was in “Trainwreck,” seemed to sum her up best in her profile of Schumer for Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in 2015: “Amy’s got your back. She’s in your corner. She’s an honesty bomb. And she’s coming for you.”

Few months are as magical as June in New York. As spring turns into early summer, the city comes alive, and there’s no better way to experience it like a local than on foot. So, put on your walking shoes, hit the pavement and take in some of the city’s best strolls.
THE HIGH LINE (1.45 MILES) From Gansevoort St. to W. 34th St., btw 10th & 12th aves. Since its first phase opened in 2009, the High Line has transformed Manhattan’s western edge from an inconveniently out-there gallery district to one of Downtown’s hottest destinations. The park is located on elevated railroad tracks that sat fallow since 1980, when the last train ran (with three cars of frozen turkey), and now it’s easier than ever to reach, thanks to the recent exten-
sion of the 7 subway line to Hudson Yards at W. 34th St. and 11th Ave. Starting from that northern entrance, the High Line stretches nearly 1.5 miles to the south along 10th Ave. Along the way, visitors can enjoy a rugged landscape of wildflowers and other native plants designed by famed landscape architectural firm James Corner Field Operations, plus programing including live DJs, film screenings and art installations. And that doesn’t even include the stunning city views—to best enjoy them, just pause IN NEW YORK | JUNE 2016 | INNEWYORK.COM

at the W. 26th St. viewing spur for a front-row view of the Chelsea streetscape. Art lovers will want to hop off at any of the High Line’s 11 entrances to explore the cutting-edge art galleries that line the streets below, like powerhouses Gagosian (555 W. 24th St.) and David Zwirner (529 W. 19th St.). By the time you reach Gansevoort St. in the heart of the Meatpacking District, you’ll have worked up an appetite—the perfect excuse to stop at Chelsea Market (75 Ninth Ave.) to refuel.
Brooklyn Bridge (stop at Grimaldi’s Coal Brick Oven Pizzeria under the bridge for a slice first), which leaves you by City Hall Park in Manhattan. Or, relax and catch the ferry from Brooklyn Bridge Park, where boats began making the trip back in 1642. The ferry docks conveniently in Manhattan at the South Street Seaport, where you can explore more of the city’s early history.
BROOKLYN BRIDGE PARK (1.5 MILES) From Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 6 (Atlantic Ave. near Joralemon St.) to the South Street Seaport There’s no better way to take in views of the Lower Manhattan cityscape than by heading across the East River to Brooklyn, where Brooklyn Bridge Park offers a charming place to walk and enjoy the city. The 1.3-mile-long park is filled with activities and sights, including beach volleyball courts, a roller rink and the Brooklyn Heights Promenade, a pedestrian esplanade in the tree-lined neighborhood of Brooklyn Heights, made famous by such iconic films as “Annie Hall” and “Moonstruck.” Along the way, you’ll also encounter snack stands, perhaps hear live music and find benches to enjoy the sights and river breeze. Near the northern end of the park, ramble across the

THE CLOISTERS (0.5 MILES) From W. 190th St. subway station, Fort Washington Ave., to The Cloisters, 99 Margaret Corbin Dr. Located in scenic Fort Tryon Park at the very tip of northern Manhattan, The Cloisters is one of the city’s most spectacular hidden jewels. The museum is a satellite of the Metropolitan Museum of Art with a focus on medieval European art—and, yes, you can get in on the same admission ticket. To get there, take the A train to W. 190th St. From there, it’s a 10-minute walk along Margaret Corbin Dr. to reach the museum—it’s a pretty steep uphill trek, but the views of the park and the Palisades across the Hud-

son River make it well worth it. You may want to thank John D. Rockefeller Jr. for those views across the river; the philanthropist had the foresight to preserve the land nearly 100 years ago to ensure the vistas would remain. Inside the museum, you’ll find a sanctuary filled with medieval art, including the 15th-century Unicorn Tapestries, an icon of the collection. Perhaps most surprising, though, is the fact that you can walk through an actual
The southern edge of this park marks the transition from bustling Midtown Manhattan to the residential Upper East and Upper West sides, where some of the city’s most famous residents live along the park’s edges. The park entrance at 59th St. and Fifth Ave.—just across the street from the Plaza Hotel and the gleaming glass cube of the Apple Store—is a great place to start exploring. As you walk north and west along the park’s paths, you’ll pass Gapstow Bridge, which crosses a manmade pond; charming Victorian Gardens Amusement

CENTRAL PARK (1.5 MILES) From Fifth Ave. at 59th St. to Central Park W. & W. 72nd St. At 843 acres, Central Park offers all kinds of entertainment, from baseball diamonds and picnic grounds to its famous boathouse and the recently refurbished Tavern on the Green—no wonder it welcomes some 40 million visitors a year.
Park; the cottage known as the Dairy (now the park’s visitors’ center); and the Central Park Zoo before coming to the Sheep Meadow—where you’ll often see New Yorkers having a picnic or playing a game of Frisbee. By the time you arrive at Bethesda Terrace—considered the heart of the park by designers Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux—you will have discovered some of the city’s more recent history, including Strawberry Fields with its Imagine mosaic, dedicated to Beatle John Lennon, who was killed outside his home at the Dakota apartment building across the street. If you prefer to venture deeper in the park, you’ll find it bustles with free activities, including the Summerstage concert series and Shakespeare in the Park, which brings “The Taming of the Shrew” to the park’s open-air Delacorte Theater thru June 26. You really could not have picked a better time to walk New York. IN NEW YORK | APRIL 2016 | INNEWYORK.COM

NEW YORK IS A TREASURE chest of extravagant experiences, if you have the means: the haute-est hotels, shopping, dining and theatergoing imaginable. Manhattan’s elite spas, suitably set in five-star hotels (but available to anyone), put a new spin on opulence, with services that incorporate gems and rare metals. Here is the latest on these treatments. Nestled in The Greenwich Hotel in TriBeCa, Shibui Spa (377 Greenwich St., 646.203.0045) embodies Japanese Zen serenity (with a cutting-edge fitness room and lap pool). Shibui’s most glamorous treatment, the Barcelona-developed Natura Bissé Diamond Multisensorial Lifting Facial, is a favorite of The Greenwich’s celebrity visitors and TriBeCa gentry. Throughout 90 lulling minutes in a heated spa bed, you are pampered by a series of collagen-boosting Natura Bissé Diamond Collection balms. These elixirs harness marine substances produced by microorganisms with regenerative powers. The facial’s cryo mask (a cold sheet mask that includes grape seed) revitalizes and hydrates dry skin. A head and shoulder massage while the mask is on completes the experience. Spas don’t get ritzier than La Prairie Spa in the classic Ritz-Carlton New York, Central Park (50 Central Park So., 212.521.6135). La Prairie Cellular Mineral Body Exfoliator,
a key ingredient in the full-body, 90-minute Diamond Perfection Treatment, glitters with powdered diamonds, peridots, amethysts—and meteorite dust. Swirled on by hand, this mixture polishes your skin, and afterward, you enjoy an allover rub with Skin Caviar Luxe Soufflé Body Cream. The spa’s Ultimate Platinum Rare Facial delivers detoxifying nano-infusions of platinum plus copper-rich malachite (a copper-based mineral). And La Prairie’s Ultimate Pure Gold Radiance Facial lavishes complexions with 24-karat infused pure gold serum, transmitting gold’s prized suppleness and sheen. The Spa at Mandarin Oriental New York (80 Columbus Circle, 212.805.8800) couples ancient Asian healing arts with Manhattan panoramas from its 35th-floor aerie, designed using luxe Asian-style decor. One jewel of the spa menu: the Jade Stone Facial, devised by Dr. Ping Zhang, a New York-based doctor of Oriental medicine and herbology. This 80-minute indulgence begins with a gentle exfoliation courtesy of hand-crushed pearls. Next, your aesthetician brandishes smooth pebbles of Chinese jade, the qi energy-releasing “divine stone,” sculpting the “youth line” along your jaw and cheekbone, attacking toxins, bloat and gravity. The deal is sealed with an herbal mask of calming IN NEW YORK | JUNE 2016 | INNEWYORK.COM

ginseng, immunity-enhancing persimmon leaf and circulation-optimizing Chinese angelica. Afterward, clients can use the spa’s oxygenated vitality pool and signature amethyst steam room with a dazzling, foot-high amethyst crystal, ensconced in a wall niche. Revered for millennia by Chinese, amethyst’s magnetic aura and positive radiation are known to fortify cell regeneration and enhance sleep. Multisensory pleasures abound at the exclusive Peninsula Spa at The Peninsula New York (700 Fifth Ave., 212.903.3910), with its award-winning services and relaxation room’s cocoon-like beds. Spa clients who book two hours of treatments are granted access to the hotel’s sleek gym, indoor pool and sun terrace. The two-hour, Peninsula Beijing-originated Jade Stone Massage is designed to include a facial cleanse, full-body exfoliation and massage, and relaxing foot ritual. The main event is a scalp-to-sole massage performed with deeply fragrant Espa oil and strategically set warm jade cabochons that balance and ease tension. In the spa’s Lemongrass and Jade Stone Vitality Manicure and Pedicure, jade stones are used to massage hands and feet, while you inhale the fragrance of the Thai lemongrass scent. Julien Farel Restore Salon & Spa perches in Loews Regency New York (540 Park Ave., 212.888.8988). Nowadays, this sunny loft beckons busy Manhattanites and travelers with its Power Beauty services, a trio of signature salon and spa services, finessed to just one hour.

One must-include is Farel’s Magnifique Scalp Treatment, teeming with bioactive metals and minerals, such as anti-inflammatory zinc and conductive silicon. Comprising a relaxing head massage and rehabilitative, nongreasy hair tonic, this follicle miracle retexturizes stressed strands and decelerates graying. To round out your power hour: a blowout by an aesthetician and a Power Manicure with elastin-enhancing diamond-dust microdermabrasion that reportedly turns back time on your hands. Then again, Julien Farel’s power hour is optional. You’re welcome to linger longer and sip complimentary champagne. The Surrey is New York’s sole Relais & Châteaux hotel, and Cornelia Spa at The Surrey (20 E. 76th St., 646.358.3600) boasts flower-laden dressing rooms that offer sybaritic steam showers, and semiprivate lounge pods offer minicupcakes and champagne. Cornelia Spa focuses on gemstone treatments, showcased in the hour-long Lumina Gemstone Radiance Facial. Its posh potions, also available for purchase in white jewel boxes, flaunt micronized rubies, emeralds, sapphires, citrines, gold and pearls. These gems unleash electrical charges that promote subdermal circulation, hydration and collagen renewal. (An add-on, Hematite Eye Therapy, boosts circulation via ironrich moonstones.) Cornelia Spa’s head-to-toe Champagne & Pearl Sugar Glow uses mother-of-pearl powder on your body and gold-and-pearl serum on the face. The Iridescent Pearl Manicure includes hand-silkening milled pearls and pearl oil. Now that’s what we call a royal treatment. IN NEW YORK | JUNE 2016 | INNEWYORK.COM

Summer Stripes
Compared to women’s clothing, menswear tends to be far simpler and more traditional.
