The New York Philharmonic ends its 2014-2015 season not with a whimper, but with a bang: the staged production of Swiss-French composer Arthur Honegger’s grand-scale 1938 oratorio, Joan of Arc at the Stake, with a libretto by French poet and playwright Paul Claudel. Alan Gilbert, music director of the Philharmonic, who will conduct the piece at Lincoln Center, describes it as “a spectacular, dramatic, wonderful, bring-it-all-together multimedia experience.” Cast in the nonsinging role of Joan is Oscar winner Marion Cotiillard (left), who calls the part “one of my greatest experiences as an actress.” | Joan of Arc at the Stake, New York Philharmonic, Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center, Columbus Ave., at W. 64th St., 212.875.5656, Jun. 10-13

THEATER NEWS by Francis Lewis

“I’m certainly influenced by seeing things that my friends have gone through and seeing their relationships change. But it’s a complete work of fiction, as it has to be for it to work as a play.” | Playwright Joshua Harmon on his new work, Significant Other. Laura Pels Theatre, 111 W. 46th St., 212.719.1300

Dee-lightful

Dee Hoty, three-time Tony Award nominee for Best Actress in a Musical, admits that she’s aging out of what she calls “leading-lady land.” But that’s OK. “Here’s my quote for today: The stage, unlike movies and TV, is a very forgiving place to grow older.” And like Aunt Alicia (left), the former courtesan she plays in the Broadway musical Gigi, Hoty still commands attention with grace and poise. She even makes wearing her tight-fitting, corseted costumes look easy, albeit with some help. “It’s so hard to sit down [in them], I have a slant board backstage. And I do Pilates.” | Gigi, Neil Simon Theatre, 250 W. 52nd St., 877.250.2929

In its 24-year history, Broadway Bares, the one-night striptease/ burlesque show starring the Great White Way’s sexiest, most toned gypsies (that’s Broadway speak for dancers) has raised more than $12.6 million for Broadway Cares/ Equity Fights AIDS. “And this year we’re going full out,” says Jerry Mitchell, director of the 25th fundraiser, Top Bottoms of Burlesque (above). Mitchell conceived and danced in the first Broadway Bares. “Who would’ve thought that seven guys dancing on a bar [and raising $8,000] could grow into an annual event that has raised so much to help people living with HIV and AIDS.” | Hammerstein

FASCINATING ART DISPLAYS by Terry Trucco

Brick People In enigmatic paintings, London artist Caragh Thuring demonstrates the beauty and functionality of an unprimed linen canvas, a neutral backdrop that reveals every brushstroke, mistakes included. She often paints figures. But in “Untitled (david gandi)” (above, 2015) narrative nibbles at the edges, and Thuring slyly poses questions about portraiture’s subject matter with brick and chicken-wire silhouettes that blur the line between objects and individuals. | Simon Preston Gallery, 301 Broome St., 212.431.1105, thru Jun. 21

Society Pages

In the mid-1970s, Tina Barney began photographing her family, but these were no ordinary family snaps. Using a large-format camera, her grand-scale, color-saturated tableaux captured her socially elite East Coast relatives in lush native habitats and cast an unsparing eye on a rarified but often awkward world idealized by Ralph Lauren. In Tina Barney Four Decades, other upper crusts join her family. But richly detailed narratives are still the soul of Barney’s gimlet-eyed compositions, complete with life-imitates-art hair as seen in “Mr. and Mrs. Leo Castelli, W Magazine” (left, 1998). | Paul Kasmin Gallery, 293 10th Ave., 212.563.4474, thru Jun. 20

Lining Up

Growing up reading the comic strip Terry and the Pirates, Jules Feiffer knew he wanted to use words and pictures to tell stories. Jules Feiffer, Out of Line shows how he did it. In iconic line drawings on politics, relationships and the joy of dance, the mordant wit and prescient humor familiar to Village Voice and Playboy readers is on full view. But as “Lightfoot” (below left, 2015) and “Elitist Superhero” (below right, 2011) illustrate, the 86-year-old Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist also wields a witty brush. | Adam Baumgold Gallery, 60 E. 66th St., 212.861.7338, thru Jun. 6

HOT STUFF FOR COOL MEN by Lois Levine

Fossil Gems

Sneaker Heaven If you’re looking for an unusual piece of jewelry for dad this month (or any other guy in your life), then you might want to check out this William Henry necklace from John Varvatos. The pendant ($290) is an actual 100-million-year-old fossil dinosaur bone in a sterling silver setting—lending itself to an easy joke about your father’s age, but the overall cool factor should soften that blow. | John Varvatos, 315 Bowery, 212.358.0315

Three-time Grammy winner Sean “Diddy” Combs, rap-artistturned-entrepreneur, has added a new fragrance to his empire: 3 AM is an eclectic mix of bergamot and mandarin, cardamom, geranium, fig leaves and orange blossom, presented in a sleek, translucent bottle. Two sizes, $55 and $70. | Macy’s Herald Square, 151 W. 34th St., 212.695.4400

Liberating Cuffs These vintage Liberty stamp cuff links are a very stylish reminder of a trip to New York City. Made in the U.S.A. (of course), the cuffs ($95)—sterling silver-plated with swivel-backs—are a part of the Brooks Brothers Americana collection, which uses iconic American images on its accessories and apparel. | Brooks Brothers, 346 Madison Ave., 212.309.7765

Looking for a sneaker store with a dizzying array of choices, from consignment to brand-new, from rare to popular? Check out the goods at the 2,500square-foot Flight Club, where you can select from hundreds of brands and styles, along with a hat wall holding over 1,000 caps. Two hot items: the $9,000 Nike Air Mag “Back to the Future” sneakers (top), and the $2,000 Adidas Yeezy 750 Boost (left), the latter a collaboration with Kanye West. | Flight Club, 812 Broadway, 888.937.8020

GREAT DINING EXPERIENCES by Lois Levine

Home Cookin’ I love chef Marc Meyer’s quote on his Cookshop website: “The butcher and the baker were the first chefs, if you ask me.” That pretty much sums it up for this homey, casual spot in Chelsea, with glass walls and an open kitchen, which focuses on fine grass-fed meats, locally caught fish and sustainably raised poultry, including spiced lamb meatloaf, line-caught swordfish and slow cooked Mallard duck. For a thoughtful postscript, ice cream, sorbets and dessert cheeses come in three sizes. | Tenth Avenue Cookshop, 156 10th Ave., 212.924.4440

Crisscrossed plank wood flooring, Portuguese blue tiles framing the bar and open kitchen, and taupe-colored walls covered with mirrors create this handsome bastion for fine, yet simple Upper East Side dining that is housed in a 1903 landmark building. Owner Georgette Farkas oversaw every detail of the design of the space, popular with the sophisticated clientele of the neighborhood, and her menu matches the easy elegance of its environs. The charcuterie plate is always a fine starter (above), while choices from the rotisserie include roasted chicken, fish and a rotating special, with sides such as stuffed and crisped baked Idaho potatoes and golden beets with horseradish cream and toasted pistachios. Of special note: Order 72 hours in advance for four to eight guests for a feast that can include, among other meats, whole roasted rabbit or suckling pig. | Rotisserie Georgette, 14 E. 60th St., 212.390.8060

The Hunt, Fish & Wow Club The Hunt & Fish Club has a “wow” factor that few dining spots can rival, even in this great restaurant town. The dramatic main dining room includes a marbled interior, huge art installations, a black mirrored ceiling, and black leather and velvet furnishings, while the Green Room (far left) also impresses with a reflective chrome chandelier and wall of 12 different kinds of foliage. But now, the food must be discussed: True to its name, the restaurant specializes in meats and seafood. Dive into a dish of buttery, bourbon-braised beef short ribs or sparkling fresh oysters, clams or snow crab claws, and you will be further wowed. For dessert, flourless chocolate cake with milk chocolate sorbet, peanut butter and glazed banana (left) ends things on a properly decadent note. | The Hunt & Fish Club, 125 W. 44th St., 212.575.4949

THE AFTER-DARK SCENE by Joni Sweet

Irish Drinking, Sans Shamrocks Friendly service and craft cocktails comprise the recipe one bar uses to draw a cool crowd to the Upper East Side. The relaxed Irish gastropub shuns shamrocks and instead reduces Guinness beer into a syrup for use in cocktails like the Sons of Flannery (Beefeater Gin, hops, Mandarine Napoléon, orange and grapefruit bitters, and Barbers Grappa), perfect with the unpretentious burgers, shepherd’s pie and mac ‘n’ cheese. The Penrose keeps it chill to the end, dropping checks in cards that read “The Damage.” | The Penrose, 1590 Second Ave., 212.203.2751

Coloring Book Bar

Surrounded by the whimsical animals of Madeline creator Ludwig Bemelmans’ only surviving murals on public display, drinking at Bemelmans Bar is like stepping inside a vintage coloring book. It’s a dark, glorious space with supple leather banquettes, where white-jacket waiters deliver strong refreshments (like the martini, above) and a nightly jazz trio rouses the house. Come for the art, stay for everything else. | Bemelmans Bar, 35 E. 76th St., 212.744.1600

Spirited Show A barbershop quartet traces the story of alcohol, from caveman days through the present, in The Imbible: A Spirited History of Drinking. The singing performers connect viewers to the surprising background of booze with humor, science experiments and, of course, tastings throughout the show—or party, as the case may be. | The Imbible, SoHo Playhouse, 15 Vandam St., 212.691.1555

Previously a Prohibition-era speakeasy turned dive bar, Holiday Cocktail Lounge is back again after three years of renovations. Its signature horseshoe bar ups its game with a menu of creative cocktails (like I Know You Are …, with mescal, peppercorn-infused Cointreau and Lillet Rosé)—and tiny toy dinosaurs bathing in some of the concoctions. | Holiday Cocktail Lounge, 75 St. Marks Pl., 212.777.9637

JIM PARSONS HAS AUDIENCES PRAYING FOR MORE IN AN ACT OF GOD.

IN NEW YORK | JUNE 2015 | INNEWYORK.COM

0615_F_CELEB.indd 16

5/13/15 11:14:06 AM

Many kids dream of growing up to be an

actor, and Texas-born Jim Parsons was no different, getting the acting bug after appearing in his first play at age 6. But the highly affable 42-year-old hardly could have imagined he would eventually gain worldwide fame—not to mention four Emmy Awards, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and many millions of dollars—for wearing nerdy T-shirts and shouting “Bazinga” as he has for the past eight years as socially awkward physicist Sheldon Cooper on CBS’ megahit comedy, The Big Bang Theory. Still, Parsons has never let go of his theatrical roots, and in recent years has starred twice on Broadway, first in the 2011 production of Larry Kramer’s AIDS-era drama The Normal Heart (later reprising that part for the 2014 awardwinning HBO adaptation) and then taking on the iconic role of rabbit-seeing eccentric Elwood P. Dowd in the Roundabout Theatre Company’s 2012 revival of the classic comedy Harvey. Now, he’s back on the Great White Way sharing the words of the Almighty in David Javerbaum’s irreverent comedy An Act of God. Parsons recently spoke to IN New York about the play, returning to live in New York with his longtime partner, art director Todd Spiewak, and how his parents’ support led to his eventual success.

How did An Act of God come about for you? My agent and I were thinking about what I would be doing this summer on my hiatus, and he suggested this play to me. As soon as I read it, I knew doing this would be heaven. It is very funny and a real challenge. I find this show to be my favorite kind of comedy—one that tackles somewhat touchier subjects. And it’s sort of profound in the end. I find it quite moving.

The script almost seems like a monologue that was written for a stand-up comic. Since that’s not your background, how are you approaching the material? I admit that I am an unlikely candidate for this show: There are some stand-up rhythms and a general tone of showmanship that present a challenge. I think my interpretation is that this way of speaking is God’s best effort to communicate to the masses. If it sometimes goes just above “borscht belt humor,” that’s fine, because he’s giving the people what they want. David has many years of experience for writing for Jon Stewart, and it shows.

Some of the humor borders on blasphemous. Are you afraid of offending your TV fans? I am not worried about offending anyone in particular, and that’s certainly not my goal. Still, I know some people are already offended that someone is impersonating God. I hope people will realize we’re putting on a good piece of entertainment. I already know that I am going to have some audiences that don’t laugh as much as others, but I will still be irritated as I would be doing any other comedy. You always want people to like it: audibly!

This is your third Broadway show in the past few years. How do you feel being back in NYC? Before I was on Big Bang, I spent about six years in and out of New York City, and I loved living here—even in unemployment. And there is nothing like being a working actor in New York. It is a thrill like no other. You feel like part of an electric current. And, of course, being on Broadway is just a dream fulfilled.

Are there restaurants you’re dying to eat in? When I did The Normal Heart, Todd and I used the hell out of Joe Allen. I think we ate there four times a week. Todd and I both love to eat; we’re the kind of couple who talk at lunch about where we are going for dinner.

How do you keep Sheldon on Big Bang so funny year after year? I am very committed to the idea of keeping the character fresh and alive, but it is really the writers’ doing, 100 percent. That’s not false modesty. They expand all these characters in ways that are organic, and in doing so, never alienate the audience. If you had told me in Season 5 that Sheldon would confess his love for a woman that year, I would have thought that was the beginning of the end. But when he finally did it, it seemed so real and right. It always feels easy to play Sheldon, because he’s believable to me.

What do you think your life would be like now if the show hadn’t become a megahit? It seems like, both in my life and career, things have played out in a natural way, if not always a pleasant one. I think the most fortunate part was having parents who didn’t discourage me from acting. We weren’t rich, but they assisted me financially when I needed it, and that’s the biggest pot of gold I struck. I was able to keep working as an actor, even doing free theater, which led to me to getting into a great graduate school with a scholarship and no loans.

Your dad passed away in 2001. What would he think of your success? He’d be thrilled. I have to say my dad was probably the more supportive parent. He was the one who used to say, “Why have we worked so hard to put our kids in school to discourage them from what they want to do?” My mother more expressly worried about my future. I remember one time when I was in grad school, I was home and they were talking in another room, and my mother said to my dad: “Do we have any investments?” And I saw Dad point to me in the kitchen.

What will your life will be like after Big Bang ends? I will keep acting. I have yet to get the writing and directing pull. Of course, I would love to do more film work, since I haven’t done much on that front. But the thing that gives me the most joy is live theater; that’s the most fertile ground for an actor.

BEST PLAY: Hand to God I was taught early on by my parents never to talk about religion or politics, but playwright Robert Askins clearly got a different message. Now, after seeing his scathingly brilliant comedy Hand to God, I am forced to disobey my parents and urge you to head to the Booth Theatre. Sure, Askins’ targets—notably the hypocrisy of organized religions and their reliance on concepts like “sin” and “the devil” —are easy enough to skewer, but Askins offers up a daring and complicated cocktail of cleverness, hilarity and vitriol that goes down easy. And thank (insert your own higher power here) for bringing it to Broadway, so we can all revel in the acting master class given by the tirelessly inventive Steven Boyer as confused Southern teen Jason, who lets out his dark side via Tyrone, perhaps the scariest puppet ever created! Swear to God.

BEST MUSICAL: Fun Home Dancing Parisians? Inside jokes about Andrew Lloyd Web-

ber musicals? Legendary divas earning thunderous entrance applause? Yes, I found all of these things in this year’s impressive crop of musicals, but nothing moved me the way Lisa Kron and Jeanine Tesori’s amazing Fun Home did at Circle in the Square. All kinds of emotions—including unbridled joy and heart-filling sorrow—run strong throughout this remarkably sensitive adaptation of Alison Bechdel’s autobiographical graphic novel. We watch, almost helplessly, as the now-successful Alison (played by Beth Malone) struggles to determine the connection between coming out as a lesbian in college and the suicide of her troubled, semi-closeted gay father Bruce (the brilliant Michael Cerveris). But what makes Fun Home so universal is how it speaks to anyone who has tried to reconcile their own past with the present, or simply faced seeing the reality of their parents’ lives through the looking glass of adulthood. Every home, not just Fun Home, contains that house of mirrors.

BEST REVIVAL OF A PLAY: Skylight Walking into the John Golden Theatre to see David Hare’s Skylight, I was filled with a sense of obligation rather than excitement, having been somewhat bored by the show’s original 1996 Broadway production. But maybe being 20 years older, sadder and wiser has given me a new appreciation for the can’t-live-together, must-live-apart dilemma faced by wealthy restaurateur Tom (a leonine Bill Nighy) and former younger lover Kyra (the almost Zenlike Carey Mulligan). She has retreated to a life of semi-poverty as a London-area schoolteacher—perhaps in penance for her prior adultery, and owing in no small part to the political

From left to right: Oscar Williams, Zell Steele Morrow and Sydney Lucas ham it up in the funny/sad Fun Home.

SEEING APPROXIMATELY THREE DOZEN BROADWAY SHOWS each year is primarily a privilege, but one that can sometimes wear heavily on a writer. You can walk into the theater expecting the worst—there’s been bad buzz, you dislike a particular writer or performer, you saw the play before and didn’t like it. And often even your greatest expectations end up being sadly lessened by the final curtain. Luckily for me, the 2014-2015 season yielded some extraordinary experiences on the Great White Way. Here is my completely partisan take on which shows are most definitely worth taking in while you are visiting our city.

BEST MUSICAL REVIVAL: The King and I Having seen a half-dozen film and stage versions of The King and I, few stories are as familiar to me as that of how feisty British schoolteacher Anna Leonowens battles to modernize the outdated attitudes of the strong-willed king of Siam. But leave it to the ultra-savvy director Bartlett Sher, blessed with the almost infinite resources of Lincoln Center Theater, to

provide such a visually memorable take on this timeless tale, from the giant boat that envelops the Vivian Beaumont stage in the show’s opening minutes to the sinuous snowflakes that fall from heaven during the gorgeous “Small House of Uncle Thomas” ballet to the exquisite lavender gown worn by Kelli O’Hara as she dances with Ken Watanabe. The luxuries afforded here mean both the show and audience are truly getting the royal treatment.

gap that has widened between them in the ensuing years— and refuses Tom’s offer of reentry into their former world. Only those theatergoers who still truly believe love conquers all will not see the unflinching light shined by Hare on the reality of relationships.

School graduate with no professional stage experience could make me believe he was an autistic teenager—never mind make me actually care about his plight? Sort of like me believing the moon is made of green cheese. Yet, by the time I walked out of the Ethel Barrymore Theatre at the end of Marianne Elliott’s stunning production of Simon Stephens’ The Curious Incident of the Dog in the NightTime, the unbelievably believable Sharp had erased all doubt from my mind. Moreover, his unflinching transformation had earned my complete compassion for the resilient-yet-often-terrified Christopher, torn between troubled parents, facing a world of strange sights and sounds, and determined to survive and flourish no matter the odds.

BEST FEMALE PERFORMANCE IN A PLAY: Helen Mirren—The Audience Déjà vu all over again? Pish posh! Like anyone else, I wondered how even an actress as great as Dame Helen Mirren would find new colors in portraying Queen Elizabeth II again in Peter Morgan’s The Audience, which she also did in London in 2013 and gave her Oscar-winning all to the same role in the film The Queen. But with no more than a raise of an eyebrow, a change of stance or slight inflection in tone, Mirren not only conveys volumes about the inner strength of this girl-turned-old woman, who has reigned over England (and handily dealt with a dozen different prime ministers) for over 60 years, but eases in and out of various decades in a mere instant. Mirren may be playing England’s monarch at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre, but it’s the kind of performance that the French term tour de force was invented for.

BEST MALE PERFORMANCE IN A MUSICAL: Robert Fairchild—An American in Paris For all of his extraordinary dancing ability, I always found Gene Kelly’s arrogance quite off-putting while watching his greatest films, like An American in Paris. It was quite a dif-

ferent story at the Palace Theatre watching how New York City Ballet star Robert Fairchild turned lovestruck-yetslightly-embittered World War II veteran Jerry Mulligan into a full-bodied (in every sense of the word) character in Christopher Wheeldon’s gloriously romantic take on this MGM classic. This time, thanks to Fairchild’s supple charm—and magnificent moves—I rooted really hard for a happy ending for Jerry and lady love Lise (the enchanting Leanne Cope), even if one was really never in doubt.

BEST FEMALE PERFORMANCE IN A MUSICAL: Kristin Chenoweth—On the Twentieth Century “I’ve Got It All,” the vain 1930s megastar Lily Garland sings toward the end of Act I in the glittering revival of the 1977 musical On the Twentieth Century at the American Airlines Theatre. As I’ve long known, those words apply just as succinctly to the little lady onstage. Blessed with a soprano that soars heavenward, comic timing that could stop a clock, inexhaustible energy and a deep desire to please the audience, Kristin Chenoweth proves (once again) to be one of the great theatrical talents of this century, especially when a role like the divalicious Lily fits her like a glittery, custom-made evening gown.

TECH MAKEOVER

The days of tech being a mere practical application of science are over. Fashionistas, take note: Sartorial has turned cyber. BY ASHLEY SCHNEIDER IMAGINE technology in the year 2050: cars that fly, robots that do the dishes and bite-size computers that project holographic emails. That land seems distantly possible and fantastic, a dream deferred. But the last 10 years alone have brought exponential leaps in the digital world that make the future not that far off. Mattel recently announced the imminent release of Hello Barbie, a doll with voice technology from ToyTalk. Hello Barbie responds to her playmate, tells stories and brings her plastic body to life with the power of a Wi-Fi connection. The release of the smartdoll this fall marks a milestone in mainstream technology. For years, technology focused on perfecting its own functionality. Now, it seeks to integrate itself further into the analog world, as it invisibly integrates handbags, jackets, wrist wear, gloves and more with state-of-the-art sensors, fibers, USB cables and Bluetooth capabilities. Software companies are teaming up with designers to create fashionable products in the forefront of both technology and design. We located which ones are changing our city.

CHARGE ON-THE-GO From begging the bartender to plug in behind the bar to scanning for outlets at train stations, battery life poses a never-ending problem for New Yorkers and visitors. Jon Lou’s 314 Handbag (jonlou.com), designed in New York City with technology from MIT, charges any USB-enabled device for up to one month. LEDs light up the bag’s interior so that a smartphone, spare tube of lipstick or escaped bobby pin at the bottom of the bag can be located quickly. VanDerWaals (van-der-waals.com) has a new line of fine leather handbags that charge smartphones, tablets or any other portable device. These handbags take personalization to the next level through an app that lets you change the color of your bag to match your outfit, mood or even a music playlist. For a smaller bag that charges on-the-go, H & Butler’s Mighty Purse charges your smartphone or tablet for up to two full charges. The Mighty Purse comes in an array of styles and colors, including a small leather backpack, an envelope clutch and a wristlet. Scroll through styles on the website (mighty-purse.com), or find it among other top-notch beauty products at New York apothecary Clyde’s (926 Madison Ave., 212.744.5050). Rebecca Minkoff’s partnership with Case-Mate is also bringing her fashion ethos into the world of mobile devices.The two companies will soon launch a compact, on-the-go mobile charger, available in three styles to match smartphone cases. Finally, New York-based start-up QDesigns (qdesigns.co) extends fashionable phone-charger-wear with a sleek design for men and women. The QBracelet’s simple, modern black, silver and gold varieties boost battery by up to 60 percent to last through long meetings or a day of walking around the city.

The wearable technology industry stands to reap billions of dollars over the next three to four years, and smartwatches could change the entire market. With a focus on personalization from technology to design, the Apple iWatch, on view at the Apple Store (767 Fifth Ave., 212.336.1440), gives the wearer control. The watch can receive texts, emails and Facebook notifications, take calls, monitor fitness level, play music, facilitate payments and order an Uber. We love the elegant iWatch Edition, available in 18-karat rose gold or yellow gold with a polished sapphire crystal display and an interchangeable band in leather, chain link or stainless steel for a polished, sophisticated look. For those who find it difficult to drop the classic analog design, the Guess Connect smartwatch, coming this fall from Guess Watches (575 Fifth Ave., 212.922.9792), fuses the past with the future in three different, wearable styles. The watch, powered by Martian technology, features an analog clock face with digital capabilities. The wearer can customize notifications through a free iOS- and Android-compatible smartphone app, use voice commands to send and receive messages, and access several applications. This past spring, the company that started it all, Apple, came out with its iWatch, which virtually turns your wristwatch into a phone, computer, tablet and car service (yes, you can even order Uber).

Stay tuned: The Guess Connect smartwatch, due out this coming fall, will offer voice commands, notifications, is Siri and Android compatible, and looks like an analog watch: Remember those?

On With the Show!

by Mackenzie Allison

What is a neighborhood to check out off the island? In Brooklyn, Red Hook boasts a long history as one of New York City’s original ports. Every weekend, the IKEA Express runs free ferry rides from Lower Manhattan. While there, make sure to check out the Waterfront Museum—which gives visitors a look all the way back to 1860 when NYC waterways helped make the city what it is today—as well as the Showboat Barge, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. For dining, try Red Hook Lobster Pound, Brooklyn Crab and Kevin’s. The Red Hook Winery offers tours and tastings.

NYC is teeming with great places to enjoy all types of entertainment—from cool jazz to interactive theater, magic and more. JW Mar Marriott Essex House New York’s David CJ Rahner shares his favorites, plus happenings in the boroughs and trends on the dining scene. Besides the obvious mustsee attractions, name three underrated gems. In the middle of the East River is a hidden gem called the Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Park. One can take the aerial tram from 59th Street and Second Avenue over the river to Roosevelt Island, which offers spectacular views of the city skyline. I also suggest booking tickets in advance for Jack

and the Beanstalk in Central Park. Also in Central Park, see Cleopatra’s Needle: This ancient Egyptian obelisk from 1450 B.C. is the oldest man-made object in the park.

What would you say are your top three entertainment venues in the city? Bemelmans Bar at The Carlyle is my favorite old-world New York institution for sophisticated jazz. Birdland is my favorite place to listen to jazz after a Broadway play. Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola’s 7:30 and 9:30 p.m. nightly sets typically sell out; however, the 11:30 p.m. Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola set Tuesday thru Sunday is great for walk-ins.

This month’s three must-attend events? At the Blue Note Jazz Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Park Festival, jazz fans can see artists like Savion Glover and Buddy Guy. The Big Apple Barbecue Block Party heads to Madison Square Park Jun. 13 and 14. Pit masters from all over the U.S. take over for the annual finger-lickin’ good food festival. And, the New York Philharmonic performs concerts in several of the city’s parks Jun. 17 thru 23.

What are three under-the-radar spots worth checking out? At Queen of the Night, an interactive dinner show, at the Diamond Horseshoe, one never knows what to expect, but one is sure to leave feeling amazed. From an elegant suite in The Towers of the Waldorf Astoria hotel, Steve Cohen creates an unforgettable magic show. The Flatiron Room features more than a thousand kinds of whiskeys, one of the most extensive lists on the East Coast. It also has live jazz music every night. INNEWYORK.COM | JUNE 2015 | IN NEW YORK

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

Williamsburg may have been ground zero for the hipstrification of Brooklyn, but its skyrocketing rents have driven a lot of the demographic farther east to BUSHWICK, now a tourist destination in its own right. Explore this vibrant, artistic community, and you’ll see why Vogue recently deemed it one of the top 15 coolest neighborhoods in the world.

NEIGHBORHOOD STORES Shoppers interested in deals on vintage wear should explore Urban Jungle (ltrainvintage.com/urbanjungle), a massive, well-organized thrift store with endless racks of $5 flannel shirts. For its take on a shopping mall, Bushwick converted an industrial building into SHOPS at the Loom (shopsatthe loom.com), which now houses a skateboard shop, natural foods co-op, gift shop selling handmade items and an espresso bar with free Wi-Fi.

Roberta’s Pizza

MUST-EAT Your trip to Bushwick should definitely include a stop at Roberta’s (rober taspizza.com), one of the most buzzed-about restaurants on the planet. The menu is always changing to incorporate fresh, seasonal ingredients, but you really can’t go wrong with any of the thin-crust pizzas, vegetable sides or charcuterie plates on offer. If you’re looking for a less-crowded and more low-key option, you can head to Tortilleria Mexicana Los Hermanos (718.456.3422) for a plate of the best tacos in town. And if you want to complete the gourmet-junk-food trifecta, Fritzl’s Lunch Box (fritzlslunchbox.com) serves up a truly exceptional cheeseburger.

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

Bushwick may be known for its semisecret warehouse and loft parties, but there are great bars all over the neighborhood, where you can enjoy a more traditional take on nightlife as well. Cozy and dimly lit, The Narrows (718.303.2047) is a must-try for people who appreciate craft cocktails and oyster specials. The Rookery (therookerybar.com), a friendly pub, serves craft beer and snacks at its giant horseshoe bar and outdoor patio with a fire pit. For a super casual beer joint, have a seat at Pine Box Rock Shop’s (pineboxrock shop.com) bar made of concert ticket stubs suspended in clear resin. The bar also hosts occasional vegan pop-up shops.

IF YOU’RE INTO STREET ART, a stroll around Bushwick—particularly near the intersection of Troutman Street and St. Nicolas Avenue—is a must. There you will find a giant curated outdoor art gallery, known as the Bushwick Collective, which consists of bright, imaginative murals covering every wall and roll-up garage door in sight. A rotating cast of street artists regularly paints over old pieces with new art, so each trip to the area is different—but the awesome photo ops and artistic inspiration remain.
