THEATER NEWS by Francis Lewis
I can’t be the only one to have noticed that the 2016 Tony Awardwinning Best Musical (“Hamilton”) and Best Play (“The Humans,” left) perfectly complement each other. In “Hamilton,” the ideals and aspirations from which this nation struggled to be born are explored; in “The Humans,” playwright Stephen Karam shows how those same ideals and aspirations have played out for one middle-class family struggling to survive 200 years later. The picture is not always pretty in this unflinching drama, but it is always thoughtprovoking and often perceptively funny. | “The Humans,” Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre, 236 W. 45th St., 212.239.6200. Performances resume Aug. 9.
Curtain Calls
Star Quality
For this theatergoer, the biggest thrill of the past season was discovering Cynthia Erivo (above). Sure, the pint-size English actress came to Broadway trailing clouds of glory for her performance as Celie in “The Color Purple” in London. But would she cast the same spell over here? Silly question. From her first entrance, Erivo owns the stage. And when, after twoplus hours of overcoming adversity, her character triumphantly belts from her soul, “I’m Here,” grown men like me weep. That’s what live theater is all about. Add the 2016 Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical, and Erivo’s a rising star to catch. Now. | “The Color Purple,” Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre, 242 W. 45th St., 212.239.6200

• It’s now or never for theater buffs to see some of Broadway’s finest before they bring down the curtain. Closing notices are up for 2015’s Tony Award-winning Best Play, “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time” (Sept. 4), and Best Musical, “Fun Home” (Sept. 10). “Finding Neverland” flies out on Aug. 21, while “An Act of God” ends on Sept. 4. Of course, never say never in the theater. After two-plus years, the revival of “Les Misérables” says au revoir (not adieu) on Sept. 4. This monster hit is bound to return.
• From must-see shows to a mustread memoir: Barbara Cook’s “Then & Now” (Harper, 2016). The golden-voiced soprano created the role of Marian the Librarian in 1957’s “The Music Man” on Broadway and later forged a second career as a concert and cabaret star. “I’m eighty-eight years old,” she now writes. “And … I still believe I’m a work in progress. I’m still learning, still excited, still frustrated, but most of all still in the game.” I can’t put the book down: It’s unsparingly honest. And the backstage gossip is great. Bravo!

What fun to wander into a laid-back, NoLITa neighborhood bar on a Tuesday afternoon and see locals enjoying pastel-colored cocktails and yummy brunch dishes like French toast with poached pears and chai whipped cream as if it were—well, Sunday at noon. Amen, Mother’s Ruin! (18 Spring St., no phone). I have had the pleasure of staying at the luxe Pierre Hotel (and spotting Diana Ross!), but not since its new restaurant Perrine has opened up. You can enjoy raw bar items and a seasonal menu in decor that Zagat enthuses is “subdued, yet plush” (2 E. 61st St., 212.940.8195). Speaking of plush, in honor of its 10th birthday, Porter House Bar and Grill (10 Columbus Circle, 212.823.9500) has gotten a decor and menu refresh but is, of course, still serving its signature steaks. A summer lunch on a rooftop (the Monarch Rooftop, to be exact), where you can sink into a comfy couch and munch on yummy avocado toast with a backdrop of the Empire State Building— now that’s a true urban lunchfest (71 W. 35th St., 212.630.9993). In a sleek new space in sleek new NoMad, (we love naming our neighborhoods!), Teisui (246 Fifth Ave., 917.388.3596), a Japanese restaurant owned by Takuro Hirabayashi of the Teisui Hotel in Akita, offers a theatrical, 17-seat, dark stone counter for its culinary stage, where delicacies such as tori-momo (chicken thigh) with couscous are served.

The design is one of many 1970s-inspired prints from the French brand, which was launched with a simple swimsuit sketch on a paper tablecloth in a Saint-Tropez café in 1971. The brand is now available in boutiques around the world. | Vilebrequin, 1007 Madison Ave., 212.650.0353

Now, Credo Beauty is smashing that stereotype with its stock of high-end makeup and skincare products that are as flattering as they are safe.

FASCINATING ART DISPLAYS by Terry Trucco
“OY/YO” “Big Bling”
“Sunbathers ll”
“Morphous”
Art Under the Sun Art is everywhere in this town, from our museums to our city streets and parks. These monumental outdoor art pop-ups are just a taste of what’s on view this summer in the city’s big gallery under the sky. Stroll the High Line, and you’ll spot gaudy commercial billboards perched above lush plantings. “Sunbathers II” (2016), under the Standard Hotel on the High Line (Washington St., near W. 14th St., thru March 2017), is Los Angeles artist Kathryn Andrews’ response to the park’s “hyper-surreal image world.” Pairing a photograph of an ice cream cone with an enormous fan that spins, Andrews nods slyly to the park’s dizzying blend of moving and static elements. Towering 40 feet in the air, Martin Puryear’s “Big Bling” (2016) looms over the Oval Lawn in Madison Square Park (Madison Ave., btw E. 23rd & E. 26th sts., thru Jan. 8, 2017) and exudes a commanding, mystifying, oddly unsettling presence. A controlled mash-up of animal form and abstract
12
sculpture, Puryear’s meditative, multistory wood colossus is swaddled in chain-link fencing like a New York City playground. As for bling, note the flashy gold-leaf shackle, undeniably big. A streetwise wink at Robert Indiana’s earnest “LOVE,” Deborah Kass’ cheerfully assertive “OY/YO” sculpture (2015) was selfie bait from the moment it went on view in Brooklyn Bridge Park (334 Furman St., DUMBO, Brooklyn, thru Aug. 31). Fashioned from aluminum and paint, Kass’ 8-foot-tall shout-out is all about perspective (and New York). Gaze at it from Brooklyn, and it screams OY. Look at it from Manhattan, and it hollers YO. Cautious optimism is channeled in South African artist Lionel Smit’s sculpture “Morphous” (2014). His female subjects stare in opposite directions, looking to the future but mindful of the past. From their perch on a traffic island in Union Square Park (Fourth Ave., btw E.14th and E. 17th sts., thru April 2017), Smit’s lyrical bronze women also warn viewers to look both ways before crossing the street.

The Hell’s Kitchen aerie presents a luxe setting with lush greenery and Beverly Hills-esque style with views of the Midtown West skyline. | The Attic Rooftop & Lounge, 251 W. 48th St., 212.956.1300
If you think of bowling as just a weeknight activity for dads in vintage jerseys, you’re in for a surprise at Brooklyn Bowl. The Williamsburg nightlife destination throws that outdated image into the gutter with a cooler take on the sport. Players strive for strikes on modern lanes in what was once an abandoned barn, while enjoying comfort food (like Cajun cheese fries, pork rinds and po’boys) from the on-site Blue Ribbon restaurant. If bowling is the heart of Brooklyn Bowl, music is its soul: The venue jams out to live performances nearly every night of the week. Highlights this month include DJ Questlove (every Thursday), Juliette Lewis (Aug. 6) and a Madonna tribute show (Aug. 20). | Brooklyn Bowl, 61 Wythe Ave., Williamsburg, Brooklyn, 718.963.3369
Ode to the Negroni For 100 years, Caffe Dante celebrated the Italian culture of Greenwich Village with espresso, antipasti and pastries. But its 101st year has given birth to an allnew rendition, rebranded as Dante. The upscale reboot from an Australian family features white brick walls, white leather banquettes and a sleek bar that’s lively well into the night. They’ve modernized the menu, too, with gourmet light bites (like perfectly crispy sourdough flatbreads) and a tribute to Italian heritage with a medley of a dozen Negronis, ranging from classic and on-tap to chocolate and floral. Negroni naysayers need not worry—other cocktails, like the fruity Pimm’s Cup (right), will satisfy. | Dante, 79-81 MacDougal St., 347.707.5656

NEVER
off-key Meryl Streep shines in a touching performance as New York City’s—maybe the world’s—worst opera singer.
BY BOB CANNON
FOR 40 YEARS, MERYL STREEP has been confounding audiences by being great—and then getting even better. With three Academy Awards to her name, plus a total of 19 nominations, Streep has earned the reputation as a perfectionist, mastering almost any accent, lacing any role she tackles with depth and precision, whether in a drama or comedy. She has played everything from a floozy to a nun to historical figures such as Margaret Thatcher, Ethel Rosenberg and Julia Child. So, where does an artist like this find a new challenge? In her new film, “Florence Foster Jenkins” which opens this month, she shows she can be intentionally bad at something. In this case, singing opera. Streep’s real-life title character was a 1940s patron of the New York Opera Society, who, with the help of her wealthy husband, launched her own career as an opera singer—despite the fact that she couldn’t carry a tune to save her life. You can find her actual recordings on YouTube. “I usually make light of it and say, ‘It’s about the worst opera singer in the world,’” says Streep, “but it’s much more than that. It’s about a marriage and a happy, long relationship between two people whose self-interest was 16

equally served by the relationship, as their honest feeling and affection for each other was there. So, I thought it was fun to look at that.” “What’s heartbreaking, and heartbreakingly funny,” she adds, “is its aspiration. You can feel her when you listen to the recordings.You can hear where she takes a breath a little too late to hit the note,” Streep laughs, “but the desire is there, her love of music and how close she comes. That’s what’s so great.” Streep, who, in fact, did study opera for several years in school, found it a challenge to sing so badly. “I thought, ‘Oh well, this will be a piece of cake, because I can’t really sing that well,’” she says with a laugh. “But it was much more difficult. She tackled the most difficult arias in the canon of operatic diva performances, all these things that were way up in the stratosphere. Just to sing as well as Florence Foster Jenkins was a challenge!” And if there’s one thing that Streep has become known for, it’s accepting a challenge. She was born Mary Louise Streep in Summit, New Jersey, on June 22, 1949, to commercial artist and art editor Mary Wolf Wilkinson and pharmaceutical executive Harry Streep Jr. Her name was an invention. “I was always called Meryl,” she recalls. “My father made that name up, and I hated it. I wanted to be named Patty or Kathy.” Growing up in Bernardsville, New Jersey, Meryl sang well enough to be selected to sing at a school recital when she was 12 and sent to opera lessons with the renowned vocal coach Estelle Liebling. She quit after four years, however, but learned a lesson that served her later as an
actress. “I was singing something I didn’t feel and understand,” she says. “That was an important lesson—not to do that. To find the thing that I could feel through.” But music did move her. “I’d come home from high school, and my dad collected all of Barbra Streisand’s records. I knew every single song, every breath, every swell. And I sang along to it. “It was a way to get out the feeling of the song, to express something I had no other way of expressing.” She went to college at Vassar, where she discovered her love of acting. “I didn’t know I wanted to be an actor until my last year in school,” she admits. “I wasn’t born to be an actor, and I didn’t dream of doing it.” Nevertheless, she went on to the Yale School of Drama and moved to New York in 1975. She lived the typi-
cal young actor’s life, riding her bike everywhere, keeping a diary, napping before performances and staying out late “talking about acting with actors in actors’ bars.” But she was no run-of-the-mill talent—she immediately made her mark in back-to-back Broadway plays and two roles in Shakespeare in the Park productions. While performing in “Measure for Measure,” she met actor John Cazale, with whom she lived for two years before his death from cancer. “He taught me a lot about acting,” she says. “The directors used to call him ‘20 Questions’ because he would just ask questions all the time. Talk about a pain in the ass,” she laughs. “But I learned that you can’t know enough.” Streep landed a small role in 1977’s “Julia” alongside Jane Fonda and Vanessa Redgrave. From then on, it was one tour de force performance after another: “The Deer Hunter,” “Kramer vs. Kramer,” “Sophie’s Choice,” “Silkwood,” “The Devil Wears Prada,” “The Iron Lady”— each one helping to solidify her reputation as the best actress of her generation. Streep herself makes no such claim. “My career has been shot with luck,” she says, “then there’s hard work and curiosity.” Despite nearly constant work throughout the years, Streep has also managed to excel at family life. She married sculptor Don Gummer in 1978, and they raised four children: filmmaker Henry, born in 1979; actresses Mamie (1983) and Grace (1986), and model Louisa (1991). She splits her time between Connecticut and Manhattan, and it’s not unusual to see her dining at Cipriani Wall Street, Locanda Verde, or taking in a show at Joe’s Pub. Then there’s her socially conscious charity work. Streep donated her fee from “The Iron Lady” to the National Women’s History Museum, for which she is spokesperson. Then there was her $1 million donation to The Public Theater in honor of its late founder, Joseph Papp, and her friend, author Nora Ephron. She has also supported Gucci’s “Chime for Change” campaign to promote female empowerment. Two years ago, Streep established two scholarships at the University of Massachusetts Lowell: the Meryl Streep Endowed Scholarship for English majors and the Joan Hertzberg Endowed Scholarship for math majors, which was named for her Vassar classmate. Last year, she funded the Writers Lab, a screenwriters project for female writers over 40, to be run by New York Women in Film & Television and the independent film collective Iris. Despite the seriousness she brings to her acting and her endeavors, though, she always remembers to have fun. In that way, she admires the passion of her newest character, Florence Foster Jenkins. “She’s a person that has retained something that we all have when we are children,” Streep says. “When you’re a kid and you can’t really do anything that well, nevertheless you hurl yourself into the imagining of it. You take delight in just the doing.” IN NEW YORK | AUGUST 2016 | INNEWYORK.COM

Mommy &Me HOW DO YOU ENJOY NYC AS AN ADULT WITH YOUR KIDS IN TOW? WE SHOW YOU HOW. BY JILL FERGUS
YOU’RE IN THE BIG APPLE, and you have a list of things to do during your visit, from cultural havens to notable city restaurants—but you’re en famille: How do you make this work? Fret not, because New York City has plenty of places that are geared to adults, but with a kid-friendly element built into the package. So, not only do mom and dad get to do what they want, but the kiddies will be entertained as well. Plus, you’re sure to avoid the dreaded, “Can we go back to the hotel now?”

Fab Restaurants and Chicken Fingers
The upscale bistro-style eatery Landmarc (10 Columbus Circle, 212.823.6123) from chef-owner Marc Murphy is part of the exclusive Restaurant Collection within the Time Warner Center in Columbus Circle. Gourmet fare that adults can appreciate include goat cheese profiteroles and grilled pork chops with caramelized onions, all served with spectacular views of Central Park and Columbus Circle. FOR THE KIDS Landmarc is one of the few sophisticated “grown-up” restaurants in NYC with a dedicated children’s menu. Expect faves like mac ’n’ cheese, burgers and chicken

fingers, along with more original choices like orecchiette pasta and whole wheat quesadillas with cheddar cheese and vegetables and, for dessert, fruit or an ice cream cone, along with free cotton candy! One of restaurateur Danny Meyer’s vast culinary empire, the Lower Manhattan Blue Smoke (there is also one on E. 27th St.) is located in Battery Park City, in the shadow of the World Trade Center (255 Vesey St., 212.889.2005). It’s all about delicious Southern fare at this bustling spot—and, yes, that means barbecue, anything from pulled pork to brisket, along with sides of collard greens and sweet potato mash IN NEW YORK | AUGUST 2016 | INNEWYORK.COM

(and don’t forget the buttermilk biscuits). Wash it all down with Blue Smoke Ale, a craft brew from Brooklyn Brewery or a cocktail such as the Bourbon Smash. FOR THE KIDS Little ones can start out with a black cherry soda (juices are available, too), followed by a grilled cheese or, if they’re a little more daring, baby back ribs with baked beans—and being that the restaurant has a casual vibe, no one will mind if they make a mess. Finally, something for everyone: Whether you’re a kid or a kid at heart, the new Upper East Side dessert spot CoolMess (137 E. 62nd St., 212.355.9834) is the perfect place to satisfy your sweet tooth. Here’s how it works: Each table comes with its own ice cream maker and menu, where you can choose your base flavor (vanilla or chocolate), plus the mix-ins you want (cookies, cake, etc.) and toppings, which the staff brings to you. Pour it all into the machine and after just a few minutes—voilà! Homemade ice cream that you then finish off with the toppings you chose (sprinkles, walnuts, cookie dough, etc.). The whole family will love making it, but they’ll love eating it even more.

Culture for Everyone
One of the world’s great museums, The Metropolitan Museum of Art (1000 Fifth Ave., 212.535.7710) is packed to the gills with priceless treasures from around the globe. Adults can browse in the European Painting Gallery, with masterpieces from van Gogh, Degas, El Greco and Rembrandt, while Picasso and O’Keeffe are represented in the Modern and Contemporary Art Gallery. There’s also the Frank Lloyd Wright Room in the American Wing, along with Frederic Remington’s bronze statues of the American West. FOR THE KIDS Your children will be in awe of the suits of armor— for both knights and horses!—in the Arms and Armor Gallery, while the Temple of Dendur, a sandstone temple in the Egyptian Art Gallery, is sure to prompt a few selfies (and check out Central Park’s cool Egyptian-themed playground just across the street). The National Museum of the American Indian (1 Bowling Green, 212.514.3700) is housed in the Alexander Hamilton U.S. Custom House. This Smithsonian museum celebrates the art and culture of the indigenous peoples of the Americas with an emphasis on Native Americans. Before you even start, note the 1907 Beaux Arts building, especially the rotunda with its ceiling murals and soaring skylight. You’ll find woven baskets, embroidered clothing and painted pottery from vaious tribes, plus the gift shop has some lovely items (turquoise jewelry, silk scarves) to bring home.

FOR THE KIDS Enormous feathered headdresses, beaded clothing,

Park It Here
Bryant Park (W. 42nd St., btw Fifth & Sixth aves.), a small patch of green, is a breath of fresh air (literally!) in the middle of Midtown. If you need a break from sightseeing, it’s the perfect spot to kick off your shoes and enjoy the feel of fresh grass on your feet in view of surrounding skyscrapers (you can take a self-tour of the handful of sculptures and memorials around the park). For a refreshing adult beverage, like a margarita or a lychee martini, head to an outdoor table on the deck of Bryant Park Café. FOR THE KIDS Children will love running around barefoot on the lawn, but when further stimulation is needed, they can take a few spins on the carousel, practice their putting on a small green, play a game of table tennis and hit the food kiosks like Wafels & Dinges for Nutella-topped Belgian waffles. Located in Long Island City, Queens (a quick hop on the N train from Midtown), Socrates Sculpture Park (32-01 Vernon Blvd., 718.956.1819), a five-acre outdoor park and museum, not only

features large-scale installations on its lawn but one of the best views of the Upper East Side skyline. The works are typically thought-provoking pieces from conceptual artists like Vito Acconci and Gavin Anderson. FOR THE KIDS Sure, it’s art, but tykes just want to jump and climb on the pieces if they can and, more often than not, they can here— they’ll enjoy Meg Webster’s “Concave Room for Bees,” a 70-foot circular earthwork, where visitors are encouraged to enter to discover the colorful flora, botanical aromas and insect hums.
Entertainment for All
The thoroughly original “Blue Man Group” (Astor Place Theatre, 434 Lafayette St., 212.226.6366) was started by three street performers in New York City in 1991 and is now an international sensation. The cobalt-colored trio use creative lighting and booming percussion music (plastic pipes and “paint” drums) throughout the 90-minute, nonverbal performance. The group also inject their quirky sense of humor into key moments for more laughs. FOR THE KIDS Aside from watching three blue people (what kid wouldn’t love that?), the show is highly interactive, with streamers and confetti projected into the audience. Sit in one of the first few rows: You get a plastic poncho to catch any overflow of paint and goo thrown around the stage—your little ones will be in heaven! The South Street Seaport (1 Seaport Plaza, 212.732.8257) is a historic waterfront district that is thriving again after being ravaged by Hurricane Sandy. At the South Street Seaport Museum, take in the “Street of Ships: The Port and Its People” exhibit focusing on an 1885 cargo ship or visit Bowne & Co. Stationers, an 18th-century printing house. Have lunch at one of the many seafood restaurants or at Smorgasburg, the hip indoor/outdoor bar and eatery. FOR THE KIDS For your little ship-lovers, the museum offers guided tours of several ships, including the four-masted Peking, built in 1911. And they will no doubt love a cruise around New York Harbor aboard the authentic 19th-century schooner Pioneer—it’s a fun, cool way to see the New York skyline.

I love how the neck of the titanosaur is so long, its head sticks out of the hallway at the American Museum of Natural History!
WELCOME TO MY BLOCK The editors of IN New York share with you some of their favorite go-to city blocks, and why they have become favorite “nooks.”
CENTRAL PARK WEST, BTW W. 76TH & W. 81ST STS. When I was a little girl, my Uncle Ira would drive into Canarsie, Brooklyn, from Belle Harbor, Queens, to pick me up and take me to the Upper West Side. I loved everything about those day trips: The wide, tree-lined streets and stone hedges bordering Central Park; the dinosaurs and dioramas of African wildlife in the American Museum of Natural History; and, being genetically wired as an eager eater, the warm, crusty pretzels smeared with mustard that we bought from the street carts in the summer (in the winter, it was the half-burnt chestnuts, already cracked open).
24
Happily, not so much has changed: The dinosaur halls got brighter, their bones repositioned to be anatomically correct, and the humongous new titanosaur has made a splash at the museum, but the park and streets feel exactly the same to me, and the museum still holds that hallowed essence. Since then, I have also discovered the New-York Historical Society (call me corny, but I love the 18-minute “New York Story” film narrated by Liev Schreiber in the first-floor auditorium). Afterward, a chardonnay and a plate of gnocchi at the sleek Caffè Storico in the museum— possibly, the next best thing to a day with Uncle Ira.

What’s for dinner? Pasta at Gradisca or pizza at Sotto 13? FRANCIS LEWIS, Executive Editor W. 13TH ST., BTW SIXTH & SEVENTH AVES. On this quiet residential street in Greenwich Village, where I walk every day, nature, history, culture, pleasing architecture and good food abound. There are apple blossom and magnolia trees, redbrick 19th-century town houses (the Olsen twins lived in one for a spell, their black SUV always idling out front) and a grand 1846 Greek Revival church with white Doric columns that has been converted into a condominium. I love knowing that, before he became an art star, Jackson Pollock was a janitor at the street’s private day school. A plaque on the northeast corner of Seventh and
13th marks the site where another artist, modernist painter Stuart Davis, subject of a retrospective a few blocks away at the Whitney Museum of American Art in the Meatpacking District (thru Sept. 25), lived and worked in a now-demolished studio. Students from the New School bunk in a dorm on the block, while the Salvation Army maintains a residence for women across the street. I never go hungry because there are six restaurants here, from seafood (Flex Mussels) to French (Café Loup) to Middle Eastern (Salam). Recently, I was walking east when I passed Daniel DayLewis walking west. It’s that kind of block. IN NEW YORK | AUGUST 2016 | INNEWYORK.COM

Whole Foods in The Shops at Columbus Circle is the place to pick up a Central Park picnic.
Memories are made around this romantic fountain. JONI SWEET, Associate Editor COLUMBUS CIRCLE, W. 59TH ST. & EIGHTH AVE. Some of my most cherished memories were made around these fountains, which encircle the Christopher Columbus statue: Catching a breather after a sauna session and my first-ever barre class at nearby Exhale, savoring a picnic from the veggie-focused buffet at Whole Foods Market, reorganizing my bursting shopping bags after a splurge at The Shops at Columbus Circle and, most preciously, lingering hand in hand with my boyfriend after seeing my first opera, “La Bohème,” at The Metropolitan Opera, on an unseasonably warm night last December.

Now, the recently opened marketplace TurnStyle draws me back for underground shopping experiences, the tasty food from Ellary’s Greens and the smell of fresh blossoms from one of the flower vendors making the subway station almost pleasant. And when I’m feeling indulgent, I order a scoop of decadent hazelnut gelato from Grom, then walk it off around the base of Central Park. I’m still eager to dine at A Voce. And soon, I’ll have to catch a jazz show at Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola. But no matter where the night begins, it will surely end with another memory made at these very fountains.

LORRAINE RUBIO, Assistant Editor RIVINGTON ST., BTW CHRYSTIE ST. & BOWERY On my ideal Saturday, I wander up from my third-floor walk-up in Chinatown to where my favorite restaurant and art museum reside. I first found this eclectic Lower East Side block from a Yelp search for brunch one weekend morning. The winning brunch spot, Freemans, is nestled at the end of an alley jetting off of Rivington St. and lit by Christmas tree lights. Its rustic, hunting-lodge vibe is complete with taxidermy, fireplaces and my favorite cocktail in the city: the Freemans cocktail, with pomegranate molasses, lemon and orange bitters. After tipples
and Colonial-influenced fare (pork and shrimp sausage in ginger-ramp sauce), I take a walk through the New Museum on Bowery, which, this month, includes the exhibit “The Keeper” (on view thru Sept. 25), dedicated to the act of archiving. Archived objects on view include Swedish artist Hilma af Klint’s 1907 spiritual paintings, which she hid up until her death for fear that they were so radical. A visit to this museum isn’t complete without a view of the Lower Manhattan cityscape from its Sky Room. Back on Rivington St., I finish off my afternoon with a scoop of coffee crisp ice cream at Morgenstern’s Finest Ice Cream. IN NEW YORK | AUGUST 2016 | INNEWYORK.COM

Q & A with The Lucky Bee’s Rupert Noffs Leaving the trappings of many downtown haunts (Edison lightbulbs and moody color palettes) at the door, Lucky Bee is a funky, pastel pink and blue spot with lush hanging plants and Thai fare. Take a peek inside with its owner, Rupert Noffs. | The Lucky Bee, 252 Broome St., btw Ludlow & Orchard sts., 844.364.4286 How did The Lucky Bee come to NYC? [Chef] Matty [Bennett] and I came over here in 2011 from Australia. We thought there was a niche in the market for affordable, casual and super-spicy Thai food in a really fun environment. I designed the front-of-house space and Matty did the menu. What does Matty bring from his experience as a chef elsewhere? I always say Lucky Bee is a mix of Longrain in Sydney (proper, pan-Asian Thai) with a farm-to-table culture. Do you have a favorite dish on the menu? My favorite dish is the crab betel leaves. A betel leaf is an Asian leaf with a peppery flavor. Matty adds crabmeat, fish sauce, ginger, chili, shallots and cilantro. Do you guys have favorite spots in the neighborhood? Cafe Katja—Matty’s from England, so we go over and get their schnitzel and German beers.
