Taking Flight
Artist, architect and engineer Santiago Calatrava owns Park Avenue this summer and fall, or at least the stretch that lies between E. 52nd and E. 55th streets in Midtown. An exhibition of seven of Calatrava’s monumental aluminum structures in red, black and silver stand in the central median separating uptown and downtown traffic. The largest is the arched and ribbed wing identified as “S1” (above). Measuring 40 feet across and approximately 20 feet tall, it is poised for take-off, blowing in the sultry breezes that waft along the grand thoroughfare. This is public art at its most lyrical. | Santiago Calatrava: On Park Avenue, Park Ave., btw E. 52nd & E. 55th sts., marlboroughgallery.com, thru Nov. 15.
Out-of-This-World Music The Lincoln Center Festival never fails to amaze, and this year’s edition, Jul. 6Aug. 2, lives up to that reputation. Take Ensemble Musikfabrik from Germany, which brings American composer Harry Partch’s grand-scale Delusion of the Fury (left) to the fest. Partch (1901-1974) marched to the beat of his own drum, which he literally made. Using reconstructed Partch instruments, Musikfabrik creates a soundscape that is part Japanese ghost story, part Ethiopian myth. | Delusion of the Fury, New York City Center, 131 W. 55th St., 212.721.6500, Jul. 23-24

THEATER NEWS by Francis Lewis
Redemption
Josh Young is the nicest guy to interview, but, as John Newton in the Broadway musical Amazing Grace (below), he is the polar opposite. And Newton isn’t fictional: He was a real-life slave trader and reprobate. “Audiences can hate John throughout the show,” Young told me. “The most important thing is that they see the transformation in him. Had he not testified before Parliament, the slave trade would not have been abolished when it was in England.” For the finale, the cast sings “Amazing Grace,” the hymn for which Newton wrote the words: “I once was lost, but now am found.” | Amazing Grace, Nederlander Theatre, 208 W. 41st St., 877.250.2929
Disappearing Act It’s no illusion: Penn Jillette (below, left), the tall (at 6 feet 7 inches) and more talkative half of Penn & Teller, the comedy magic duo, has lost weight, dropping from 330 to 225 pounds in time for his 60th birthday in March. A limited engagement on Broadway would seem to be just the ticket to show off his streamlined form. Classic routines from the team’s repertoire are on the bill, but Jillette’s costumes are, of necessity, new. | Penn & Teller on Broadway, Marquis Theatre, W. 46th St., btw Broadway & Eighth Ave., 877.250.2929, Jul. 7-Aug. 16
Onstage Dichotomy
To look at Paul Tazewell’s period costumes for Hamilton (above), the new Broadway musical about Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, you’d never guess that this is a show with a hip-hop score and rap sensibility. And that’s the point. “After spending a good bit of time exploring the clothing styles [of the American Revolutionary War period] and weighing our options as to how contemporary we would go,” says Tazewell, “we decided that the idea would be to interpret the fashion in an accurate way. It was very important to use the fabrics, leathers and cut of the clothing that were prevalent in this period. I love recreating history. That way I can live vicariously. But I am very happy as a man of the 21st century.” | Hamilton, Richard Rodgers Theatre, 226 W. 46th St., 877.250.2929

GREAT DINING EXPERIENCES by Lois Levine
Italian With a Vista What could be lovelier than dining with a perfect view of Central Park South, just as dusk is fading into night? That was my recent experience at this contemporary Italian restaurant in the Time Warner Center, where Executive Chef Riccardo Bilotta puts his spin on refined Italian fare with dishes such as risotto with brandy, tarragon, lobster and saffron; and a chunky, tender Icelandic cod dressed with pearl onions. East Side visitors, take note: There is a sister restaurant on Madison Ave. | A Voce, 10 Columbus Circle, 3rd fl., 212.823.2523.
A Meal and a Grin
Beijing Delight You would think that finding an elegant, upscale Chinese restaurant in one of the top restaurant cities in the world would be a no-brainer, but I have always found it a bit of a challenge here. All the more reason to embrace Red Stix, a new restaurant located in Midtown. The three handsome dining rooms are enhanced with plush leather banquettes and white tablecloths, with a back room offering a skylight and a glass wall revealing a wine cellar. Offerings include traditional Northern Chinese fare, such as a well-balanced hot-and-sour soup and elegantly presented shrimp lettuce wraps with finely chopped, flavorful shrimp and vegetables ready to be folded into soft, fresh greens. Other appealing choices are Peking duck, with housemade pancakes and plum sauce, and jade dumplings (above). | Red Stix, 216 E. 49th St., 646.964.5878

What a delightful surprise to discover this funky, small eatery on a quiet, cobblestoned street in Greenwich Village. The restaurant defines unaffected hip: worn (not faux-distressed) wood floors and ceiling, a tiny fullservice bar with five bar stools, mixed-brick walls, an ornate chandelier and a casual, urban crowd complete the picture. The menus are simple, but my choices for a recent midday meal were terrific: a sweet, chilled mango gazpacho soup and a salad of thickly sliced avocados and wellflavored roasted chicken. Breakfast (below), in particular, is very popular here. | The Smile, 26 Bond St., 646.329.5836

THE AFTER-DARK SCENE by Joni Sweet
Rocker Hangout
You haven’t had the perfect summer night out until you’ve been to Loopy Doopy, atop the Conrad New York. On the rooftop terrace, with views of the Statue of Liberty, bartenders dunk fruity, alcohol-infused ice pops in Prosecco for the ultimate grown-up treat. This place is hot: Arrive by 4 p.m. to avoid a wait at sunset. | Loopy Doopy, 102 North End Ave., 646.769.4250
Walk-ins Welcome The Jane hotel now welcomes walk-ins to its swanky rooftop lounge. The venue, formerly RuPaul’s living quarters, features an outdoor patio with beautiful views of the Hudson River and an indoor octagonal room with a wooden bar, hand-chipped paint, a Persian rug and other elements of boho-chic grandeur that nod to the hotel’s storied past (it offered accommodations to survivors of the Titanic in 1912). Chill out with lavender and white peach Bellinis. | The Jane, 113 Jane St., 212.924.6700

Hot Cocktails
Summer isn’t the only reason NYC bars are heating up. The hottest cocktail trend right now involves chilis. Warm up to the craze with these peppery tipples. The Hellfire (above): jalapeñoinfused Tequila Avión, lemon juice and agave. | The Chester Biergarten, 18 Ninth Ave., 646.253.2284 Smoke & Fire: Sauza Gold tequila, mescal, lemon, honey, red chili and smoked salt. | SHORTY, 20 Prince St., 212.966.5073 The Lion of Culiacan: El Jimador Blanco, ruby red grapefruit juice, jalapeño syrup and mescal. | Bounce Sporting Club, 55 W. 21st St., 212.675.8007

A pub with an unassuming name like Joe’s Bar could be just about anything, from a divey watering hole to a hipster hot spot. In the case of the new Upper West Side Joe’s, the name refers to a relaxed rocker bar with plush red leather seating, a large window that lets in the evening breeze and walls with vintage record sleeves from Jimi Hendrix, Tom Petty, Led Zeppelin and more. It’s an ideal spot for lovers of the 1970s—whether you lived it or wish you had—to enjoy a beer or cocktail, like Flash Gordon’s Breakfast (tequila, cucumber, Thai chili, Dolin Blanc, fresh mint). Don’t miss the burgers, seasoned fries and cocktail-flavored cupcakes. | Joe’s Bar, 480 Amsterdam Ave., 646.918.6510

A FASCINATING ART DISPLAYS by Terry Trucco
Rock On Aesthetic Intersections
How did modernist artists in early-20th-century Russia and Germany respond to the turmoil of their time? Russian Modernism: Cross-Currents of German and Russian Art, 1907-1917 offers clues. With 90 paintings, including Boris Grigoriev’s hedonistic “Café Chantant" (above, 1913), the exhibition is the first by an American museum to explore how artists’ work in these two countries developed, intersected and contributed to the radical modernist art of the era. | Neue Galerie, 1048 Fifth Ave., 212.628.6200, thru Aug. 31
Before her three-decade turn as Sonic Youth’s iconic bassist, Kim Gordon was a visual artist. In The City Is a Garden, Gordon embraces her first love while channeling the intensity of her alternative-rock roots and, on occasion, paying tribute as with “In Memory of Ron and Scott Asheton, a performance” (above, 2015). | 303 Gallery, 507 W. 24th St., 212.255.1121, thru Jul. 24
Precisely ...
Look hard at Emil Ganso’s “New York Roof Tops” (right, 1935), and you see textbook Precisionism, an American art movement that reacted against the formlessness of Impressionism. Blending elements of Cubism, photography and Italian Futurism, this crisp geometric style jettisoned superfluous detail and employed the camera’s exactitude to home in on the structure that underlies reality. Architecture proved a natural Precisionist subject. Consider the rigorous beauty of the urban and rural landscapes on view in Adapting Precisionism: 1925-1946. | D. Wigmore Fine Art, 730 Fifth Ave., 212.581.1657, thru Jul. 31

Face Offs
As every trick-or-treater knows, masks instantly transform one’s identity. Becoming Another: The Power of Masks probes these deceptively simple objects. Witness “Djilakons” (above, ca. 1830), a mythic ancestress of Alaska’s Kaigani Haida peoples who used masks to dramatize mythic encounters. | Rubin Museum, 150 W. 17th St., 212.620.5000, thru Feb. 8, 2016

Matthew Morrison Finds His Way Home BY BRIAN SCOTT LIPTON
Matthew Morrison was one of the hottest stars in the Broadway firmament, earning both hordes of screaming fans and critical accolades for such roles as Link Larkin in Hairspray, Fabrizio in The Light in the Piazza and Lt. Joseph Cable in South Pacific. But in 2008, he answered the siren call of Hollywood, where he spent the last seven
years as well-meaning high-school teacher Will Schuester on FOX’s Glee and acting in films, including What to Expect When You’re Expecting and the soon-to-be-released Tulip Fever. Now, the 36-year-old California native has finally returned to the Big Apple to star as British playwright J.M. Barrie—the man who created Peter Pan—in the Broadway musical Finding Neverland. Morrison recently spoke about the show; living in Manhattan with his bride of one year, Hawaiian-born model Renee Puente; and how being on Glee changed his life. How is it being back on Broadway? It has been such a joy. Theater has always been a place where I can check in with my creativity. It is where an actor really gets a chance to shine. Over a year ago, I was told by my agent that Harvey Weinstein wanted to talk to me. When a guy who produces the sorts of movies he does wants to talk, you want to hear what he has to say. So he pitches the show to me. I didn’t know what to expect, and I totally fell in love with it. Not only is Finding Neverland such a great original show, Barrie is really a great part for me to tackle.

Do you see any similarities between you and James Barrie? I don’t really have anything in common with him, but it is a lot of fun to do research so you can find something you can relate to. I talked to a lot of my writer friends about writer’s block, which is part of the show, and I realized that Barrie would be a lot like me if I was not steadily

able to sing. I understand how it feels to be without one of your gifts. It’s something everyone goes through. What made you decide to pursue acting? I was in Arizona for the summer when I was about 5 years old, and my grandma and my aunt’s family didn’t know what to do with me, so they put me into this summer camp that was kind of pay-for-play. We did some made-up show called The Herdsmen Go to Camp, where I just played one of the kids, and I was instantly hooked. I don’t think I would have stumbled on acting otherwise, especially since I was so into sports later in life, especially soccer. It’s so great to find your passion at a young age. Plus, if I had gone on and become a professional soccer player, my career would be over already. It’s great to be in a field where you have longevity. How did being cast in Glee change your life? Before Glee, there were a lot of people in New York who knew who I was, but anywhere else I was unrecognizable. So it put me in on the map in an international way. Every day I get to the theater two hours before showtime and I have a lot of overseas fan mail from Glee fans. It is amazing the amount of people that the show has touched and influenced. Looking back, I loved what Glee stood for, which was about how the underdogs can have a voice in the world. I also believe it did much for arts education. It even introduced me to a lot of songs from older Broadway musicals I didn’t know.

How is it living in New York again? I used to have a 500-square-foot apartment in Midtown, but in order to stay married, we’re living someplace bigger. We’re now in Chelsea, and it’s great to explore a different part of the city. We love to take bike rides and try new restaurants. There is this Venezuelan place called El Cocotero on W. 18th St. that is so good! Has marriage changed you as a person? At the end of the day, it’s nice to have a sounding board and partner to come home to. We really have a great balance. When it comes to things like renovating our house, which I have no patience for, Renee is like a bull. Her big design project was redoing my dressing room. I have the same one that Elizabeth Taylor and Carol Channing had when they played the Lunt-Fontanne, but we wanted to make it feel like something from J.M. Barrie’s era. People are amazed how authentic it looks. Have you thought about life after Finding Neverland? Because of this show and Glee, we never got to take our honeymoon, even though we got married in Hawaii. So we’re going to go to Africa for a month after the show. Careerwise, I am sure something will get lined up. The great thing about being friends with Harvey Weinstein: If he’s on your team, he’s good about getting people work. I’m definitely hoping to do more movies. IN NEW YORK | JULY 2015 | INNEWYORK.COM

hen you’re in the mood for some highend retail therapy (whether Uptown or Downtown), be sure to check out these new shops: All have launched in New York within the past year, and either have garnered buzz since opening or come with reputations preceding them. Madison Avenue will always attract savvy shoppers looking for the latest trend and up-to-the-minute style, and Jitrois (959 Madison Ave., 917.239.0933) is a fine place to start. New to this street and known for its fine womenswear (some menswear as well), this flagship store offers sexy and sophisticated detailed stretchy leather apparel. The first-floor interior is spacious and bright, with a glass wall artfully shaped like an undulating wave. Dressing rooms are generously sized and soundproof, with flattering lights and full-length mirrors. The 600-square-foot floor below doubles as a lounge, consulting area and office space for Lewaa Khalek, vice president of Jitrois America. The selling point, of course, is the roughly 50 pieces of exquisite leather goods on display, all produced in France. You’ll find black, white and red pieces, with an occasional turquoise in the mix. The stretchy material has won plau-

Items include jackets, leggings, skirts, catsuits and classic leather dresses that flatter without exposing too much skin. “We’re always pushing the envelope in creating fine leather goods,” Khalek says. “We have dressed numerous celebrities, from Jennife Lopez and Heidi Klum to Miley Cyrus and Cindy Crawford,” he continues. But any customer who visits the boutique, famous or not, will be warmly welcomed. “We have an intimate relationship with the client—that is the heart of what we do. The past few years I’ve been doing trunk shows on the Upper East Side and have been getting a good response.” And here is an added bonus: If you purchase something, you’ll be gifted with a bottle of red wine, with, of course, the Jitrois label. Meanwhile, if you are in the market for fine jewelry, don’t bypass Buccellati (714 Madison Ave., 212.308.2900), the Italian luxury brand famed for its fine jewelry and timepieces, which are handmade and hand-refined. This spacious shop is the brand’s largest—6,480 square feet in a five-story town house, with more than half of the interior dedicated to bridal, engagement and silver collections along with bespoke watches. The interior combines traditional and contemporary design, with a dark oak wood floor and striped walls in molten glass and brushed oak. Display cases complement the chairs and sofas from the storied Italian Giorgetti design company. In addition to fine jewelry, you’ll also find flatware, candelabra, silver bowls and gifts. The store has one floor dedicated to entertaining clients and hosting events. And, while the boutique is geared mainly to women, you will also find men’s watches and cuff links, handcrafted and made in Milan. Another celebrated Madison Avenue boutique is Officine Panerai (703 Madison Ave., 212.319.1245). This Italian luxury watchmaker is on a single, 700-square-foot floor with two display windows facing Madison Avenue. Founded in 1860 in Florence, the company recently added this location, which showcases the work of Spanish architect

Patricia Urquiola. The boutique’s interior includes marble, brass, wood and distinct glass touches. Interesting postscript: In the company’s early days in Florence, when it consisted of a boutique, a workshop and a watchmaking school, it was the supplier of precision instruments to the Italian navy. If you are on a shopping expedition at the southern end of the island, you’ll want to check out Theory (250 Vesey St., 212.786.1080) in the new Brookfield Place, a high-end luxury retail center in Battery Park City, across from 1 World Trade Center. The shop specializes in precision tailoring of exceptional fabrics for men and women, with the philosophy being: Hip and sexy can also be comfortable. For example, the signature stretch-fit pants are oh-so popular, and the manufacturers have found a way to spin Lycra into other fabrics as well. Popular footwear at the store includes Common Projects sneakers, available for men and women. A little farther north, SoHo is another fertile area for high-end shopping. David Yurman (114 Prince St., 212.343.7918) is a great place to start. The boutique in the SoHo Cast-Iron Historic District is in a late-19th-century loft building known for its trompe l’oeil mural. Look for intricate gold and silver designs for men and women, along withYurman’s signature cable bracelets. “I cut my teeth as a sculptor and artist in this neighborhood,” recalls designer/CEO David Yurman. “What was the epicenter of gallery culture in New York has since evolved: We’re thrilled to be in this destination.” SoHo favorite Brunello Cucinelli (134 Greene St., 212.334.1010), the luxury brand famed for high quality and modern craftsmanship, recently opened this two-story shop. The men’s and women’s collections include opulent cashmere knitwear and refined outerwear. “SoHo is known

wraps and crews in her tiny apartment in San Fancisco, and now has more than a dozen stores in the U.S. This cozy, 450-square-foot boutique sports O’Leary’s popular cotton tops, skirts and linen tees. Celebs like Kate Hudson, Madonna and Jennifer Garner are loyal fans. Another West Village boutique, Tomas Maier (407 Bleecker St., 212.547.8383) sits on a tree-lined block in an 1840s town house and offers understated design with European quality. Known originally for beautifully crafted swimwear, the brand has grown to include men’s and women’s shoes, small leather goods, skirts and pants, bags, jewelry, accessories and even candles. Maison Kitsuné (5 Rivington St., 212.979.2503) has recently expanded to the historic Lower East Side, uniting

as an international luxury fashion destination,” says founder Brunello Cucinelli. “I couldn’t be more pleased to be a part of such a beloved part of Manhattan.” If you’re looking for cutting-edge fashion for men and women, take a look at another SoHo newbie: The Kooples (115 Mercer St., 212.219.0515), named for three French brothers, encourages couples to shop together. One side of the store targets men and the other, well, you get the idea. Trendy skinny suits, shirts and sweaters and graphic print tops are mostly in tones of gray, white, red and black. Shoes and accessories are options for both sexes. The Kooples rework bespoke tailoring, offering contemporary silhouettes with a Parisian twist. Margaret O’Leary (321 Bleecker St., 646.274.9499) is the West Village’s go-to shop for hand-created, handloomed chic bohemian knitwear, from luxe cashmere to featherweight summer knits. O’Leary, born in County Kerry, Ireland, started by selling her hand-loomed sweaters, IN NEW YORK | JUNE 2015 | INNEWYORK.COM

men’s and women’s fashion, accessories, music and design in a unique way. The interior fuses the neighborhood’s artistic roots and avant-garde spirit with Japanese aesthetics.

WHERE DO NYC CELEBRITIES GO TO EAT, SHOP AND PLAY WITH THEIR KIDDIES? HERE’S A ROAD MAP. BY NANCY J. BRANDWEIN

Here’s where New Y York’s big names take their little ones to eat, shop, play and soak up culture—or buckets of sprinkler water.
Celebrity chef Marc Murphy’s Landmarc (10 Columbus Circle, 3rd fl., 212.823.6123) boasts one of the best kids’ menus in town—from orecchiette and butter for simple eaters to lemon and herb-roasted chicken legs with yogurt dipping sauce for budding gourmands. Looking glam in all black, Angelina Jolie lunched here with sons Maddox, Pax and four of their friends. The unofficial stroller park out front and yummy banana cotton candy dessert signal “kids welcome here,” but grown-ups find plenty to choose from among the French and Italian bistro fare. Harvey Keitel, Jennifer Connelly and Liev Schreiber are just some of the celeb regulars, with kids in tow, who favor the authentic Italian fare and comfortable, elegant setting of Roc (190-A Duane St., 212.625.3333). Owner Rocco Cadolini, who hails from Sorrento, and his wife, Stacy, give every guest the star treatment. Young diners love the chicken parmigiana sliders with truffle fries and the gratin of veal meatballs served on soft polenta. What could be more New York than bagels and lox? And where else to load up than Zabar’s (2245 Broadway, 212.787.2000), New Yorks iconic appetizing and gourmet delicatessen? Don’t be surprised to see Jerry Seinfeld and kids at the fish counter: The Seinfelds often make a Sunday

run for Zabar’s bagels, lox, plain and veggie cream cheese, sour pickles and fresh-squeezed O.J. Jerry has said, “Zabar’s is, like, my whole life. I know there are other great places, but Zabar’s is in my DNA.” Sometimes running into luminaries takes serendipity, as in visiting Serendipity 3 (225 E. 60th St., 212.838.3531), the quintessential NYC dessert spot, founded in 1954. Jackie Kennedy and her children had a sundae kind of love here under the soft glow of the Tiffany lamps. More recently, Katie Holmes brought Suri in for a midnight feast, and Warren Beatty and Annette Bening treated daughter Ella and friends to signature treats like Frrrozen Hot Chocolate, now available in white-, mint- and salted caramelchocolate flavors. If Serendipity 3 represents the old-guard sweet spot, then Brooklyn’s The Chocolate Room (51 Fifth Ave., Brooklyn, 718.783.2900) represents the new. Maggie Gyllenhaal and husband Peter Sarsgaard have been spotted with their girls digging into chocolate delights at the attractive new Park Slope locale, while Jemima Kirke, of Girls, and her children are regulars at the 269 Court St. locale, also in Brooklyn (718.246.2600). Favorites here: chocolate layer cake, the brownie sundae and banana split.

French designer Tartine et Chocolat’s luxury children’s fashions are a mix of classic preppy lines and Parisian chic, all crafted with exquisite detail. The go-to outfitter of Beyoncé’s daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, and Gwen Stefani’s son, Apollo Rosedale, Tartine et Chocolat makes its itty-bitty rompers and polo shirts available at Saks Fifth Avenue (611 Fifth Ave., 212.753.4000). From an infant girl’s dress with a diamond-smocked bodice and rosettes to a young canoeist’s seersucker jacket, the airy creations evoke summer along the Seine. Neil Patrick Harris’ twins, Gideon and Harper, must be crazy for the fun duds at Wyatt Lily (290 Columbus Ave., 212.580.5459), judging from the fact that spouse David Burtka is a regular shopper. The tiny children’s boutique offers one-of-a-kind brands, including Etsy finds. For her: a tulle tutu festooned with roses; for him, mini fedoras or hip font T-shirts (all customizable) with fun lines, like “I only date models” or “Haters gonna hate.” A visit to the Dylan’s Candy Bar flagship store (1011 Third Ave., 646.735.0078) is like a trip to Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory, and famous visitors include members of David and Victoria Beckham’s brood as well as Mariah

Carey and Nick Cannon’s twins, Monroe and Moroccan. The world’s largest confectionery emporium is as much a treat for the eyes as the taste buds, with its life-size lollipop tree, kaleidoscopic candy wallpaper and candy-embedded steps. At Evolution (120 Spring St., 212.343.1114), your young natural historian can get worm lollipops, not as in Gummy Worms, but candy-coated protein-packed mealworms! Kids do like “creepy.” That’s why the late Robin Williams took his own children to see the plastic-encased rare bug specimens, the human and animal skeletons, and

Icelandic pop singer Björk took daughter Isadóra to “eeew” at the likes of preserved king cobras, fossil megalodon shark teeth, and scorpion paperweights. The mini-microscope, actual moon meteorite rock fragments and 4-D dinosaur puzzles make for unusual souvenirs.

delight in this compact 6.5-acre zoo, which contains over 130 species in several different habitats, from tapirs in the tropics to four species of penguins in the polar zone. Supermodel Heidi Klum was spotted there, out of her usual fashion habitat, taking an ice-cream break with her four chickadees—Leni, Henry, Johan and Lou—and enjoying the zoo’s most popular pastime: feeding the sea lions. Hudson River Park (hudsonriverpark.org, 212.627.2020) is a 550-acre waterfront wonderland, extending from Chambers St. in TriBeCa up to W. 59th St., with tykefriendly activities galore. Pier 25 offers a climbing wall and boulders, waterfalls and sand traps; and Pier 51 playground has giant kid-activated water gushers with buckets to provide oceans of fun. Hudson River Park draws Martha Stewart and grandchildren, and popular Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage, who has been seen strolling the esplanade with wife Erica and daughter Zelig. Rock stars and rock-climbing stars head to Queens for The Cliffs at LIC (11-11 44th Dr., Queens, 718.729.7625) in hip Long Island City. Members of rock bands Linkin Park and Thirty Seconds to Mars bring their families to the country’s largest indoor mecca for belaying and bouldering. First-time climbers 5 and up can boulder without ropes on shorter walls, or they can rope up with auto-belays, which automatically hoist the rope as they scale the towering 50-foot wall. Celebrities in this town really do know where to take their kids to have a rockin’ good time.

hattan (212 W. 83rd St., 212.721.1234). Children don’t realize they are learning as they crawl, toddle or tear through innovative exhibits like PlayWorks, where kids can “feed” letters to Alfie, a giant talking dragon, and commandeer an MTA bus. Now “Frolic!,” a new rock ’n’ rollthemed pop-up play space, is sure to draw rock stars and their rock-a-bye babes, ages 0-5. This pint-size rocker’s dream features a Rolling Stones-inspired tongue slide, a mini performance stage and interactive video music wall. Performing artists keen to introduce their offspring to live theater head to The New Victory Theater (209 W. 42nd St., 646.223.3010). Elementary TV star, Jonny Lee Miller tweeted a recent performance was “heartbreakingly wonderful.” Sarah Jessica Parker, outspoken New Vic advocate, has said that her son, James Wilkie, and twins, Marion and Tabitha, are growing up in this theater. British actress Emily Mortimer, mother of Sam and May, cited the city’s serene oasis, Brooklyn Botanic Garden (990 Washington Ave., Brooklyn, 718.623.7200), as one reason why she loves Brooklyn. This summer, youngsters will swarm to the New Discovery Garden for Children, a oneacre space for children to explore plants and ecosystems— meadow, marsh and woodland—through hands-on play and scientific investigations. It’s hard to know who has more star power at the Central Park Zoo (E. 64th St. & Fifth Ave., 212.439.6500), the new grizzlies, Betty and Veronica, or the celeb kids who

Time for a Shopping Spree
From feminine finds in the East Village and one-stop shopping in Midtown to great stores and dining destinations perfect for the little ones, Carolyn Innocenzi, Chef Concierge at The New York Palace, shares her top recommendations. Besides the obvious must-see NYC attractions, what are the three underrated gems you’d recommend for a guest? Many guests interested in gospel should visit the Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem. Farther uptown in Washington Heights is the historical Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini Shrine. This neighborhood also offers stunning views of the George Washington Bridge. Head over to Astoria, Queens, and the Steinway & Sons Piano Factory, where guests can learn about these masterpieces on factory tours (reservations required). Those interested in U.S. history can visit the Mount Vernon Hotel Museum & Garden on the Upper East Side: The museum has outdoor music in the garden. Three must-attend events? Throughout July in Central Park, SummerStage offers free outdoor concerts. Then try the Roof Garden
Café and Martini Bar at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. And, of course, the Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks show. What are two neighborhoods to check out off the island? Bayside and Cambria Heights, both in Queens, have trendy restaurants, pretty tree-lined streets and shopping for the entire family.

What are your top three retailers in the city? At Deborah Johnson Studio on the Upper East Side, women can purchase a oneof-a-kind dress, gown, suit, etc. With locations in the Meatpacking District and the Upper East Side, Niquea.D carries everything from jewelry and stationery to home goods. In Midtown, Delphinium Home offers beautiful items for the home and unique gifts. How about under-the-radar retailer destinations? For one-stop shopping, including jewelry, cosmetics, leather goods, luggage and more, visit Cosmos in Midtown. Find trendy clothing—from party dresses to T-shirts—at Pas De Deux in the East Village. Also in the East Village, fashionistas love Cloak & Dagger’s feminine collection. What are your top three destinations for kids? S’MAC in the East Village offers great mac ’n’ cheese, with many variations for youngsters and adults alike. In Brooklyn, Acorn Toy Shop features creative and environmentally handcrafted toys. On the Upper East Side, The Children’s General Store offers unique toys, games and gifts. A Deborah Johnson original

It’s worth a visit to DUMBO on a sunny summer’s day, and it’s not just because it’s at the other end of a stroll across the Brooklyn Bridge. This onetime industrial neighborhood now boasts Brooklyn Bridge Park and the most breathtaking views of the Lower Manhattan skyline you can find anywhere. All this and excellent food and shopping, too. So: Hit it up!
The PowerHouse Arena
NEIGHBORHOOD STORES DUMBO is home to a vibrant mix of small, well-curated retail establishments. The Stewart/Stand Design Store (stewartstanddesignstore.com) is packed with design-forward gifts and tchotchkes. West Elm MARKET (westelm.com/stores/us/ny/brooklyn-market-brklyn/), a spin-off of the furniture chain, houses a laid-back coffee shop and an array of hard-to-resist, locally made products. For killer book recommendations for adults and kids, The PowerHouse Arena (powerhousearena.com) has a busy calendar of in-store readings and panels with popular writers. Finally, for men’s clothing and home goods, Modern Anthology (modernanthology. com) is a great place to spend 20 minutes poking around. Eggs Benedict at Vinegar Hill House
MUST-EAT As lines wrapping around the block can attest, the pizza at Grimaldi’s (grimaldis. com) is the stuff of legends. Inside scoop: Rival Juliana’s (julianaspizza.com) doesn’t have the lines, but the pizza there is considered better by those in the know. If you’re looking for variety, head to DUMBO on a Sunday to check out the world-famous Smorgasburg (smorgasburg.com), a pop-up food market featuring over 100 vendors of the inspired sort of fare that put Brooklyn on the culinary map. For a more upscale dining experience, experience a meal at Vinegar Hill House (vinegarhillhouse.com), which has a beautiful garden in back. Finally, One Girl Cookies (onegirlcookies.com) is a good stop for your afternoon coffee/whoopie-pie fix.
