THEATER NEWS by Francis Lewis

Sherie’s World

“People from Kansas lead remarkable lives, it’s just a fact.” That’s what Kansas native Sherie Rene Scott told me when I asked about her new Off-Broadway play, Whorl Inside a Loop. The show, which she wrote with Dick Scanlan and in which she stars with (left to right) Nicholas Christopher, Donald Webber Jr., Daniel J. Watts, Derrick Baskin, Ryan Quinn and Chris Myers, is based on her and Scanlan’s experience as guest teachers in a personal narratives class in an upstate New York men’s prison. For Scott’s fascinating Q&A, go to innewyork.com/editorsblog. Here’s a teaser: “To feel safer in prison than I was feeling onstage, or in my personal relationships, was an eye-opener I’m still processing.” | Whorl Inside a Loop, Tony Kiser Theatre, 305 W. 43rd St., 212.246.4422

Theater buffs can always depend upon the annual New York International Fringe Festival.

With 200 emerging theater troupes from around the world filling venues scattered throughout downtown Manhattan, there’s something for every taste. Arousing my curiosity this year is Hannah Moscovitch’s Little One from Vancouver, Canada’s Alley Theatre (below, Daniel Arnold and Marisa Smith). When adopted siblings clash—Aaron is normal, Claire psychotic—childhood terrors, teenage angst and adult irresolution spill out in an eerie mystery thriller that sounds like my kind of play about a dysfunctional family. | New York International Fringe Festival, multiple venues, fringenyc.org, Aug. 14-30

The Messenger

James Lecesne (above) has adapted Absolute Brightness, his young adult novel about the aftermath of the murder of a flamboyant 14-year-old boy, into a solo play in which he plays nine characters and in whose universal message he believes. “Everybody, regardless of their gender expression, sexual orientation or background, goes through adolescence trying to figure out how they can express their authentic self in a world that wants them to be like everybody else,” he says. For more on Lecesne as writer, actor and gay activist, go to innewyork .com/editorsblog. | The Absolute Brightness of Leonard Pelkey, Westside Theatre, 407 W. 43rd St., 212.239.6200

HOUSES OF GREAT ART by Lois Levine

Lights on Judd

The Donald Judd House, formerly the private living and working space of artist-visionary Judd, presents two works by Dan Flavin, an American minimalist known for art installations created from commercial light fixtures. Make art not pipelines: Get in on the ground floor (left) exemplifies the work of Flavin, whose use of the lit tubes was, noted Judd (who died in 1994), “intense and very definite … very much a particular visible state, a phenomenon.” | 101 Spring St., 866.811.411, Fri & Sat thru Sept. 19

Poe’s Place

Yes, the Bronx is the birthplace of pop superstar Jennifer Lopez, boasts one of the world’s greatest zoos … and is also the former home of Edgar Allan Poe (below).

Poe spent the last few years of his life in this cozy 1812 farmhouse. Today, you can visit the cottage where the poet penned classics such as “Annabel Lee“ and “The Bells.” | Edgar Allan Poe Cottage, Grand Concourse & E. Kingsbridge Rd., Bronx, 718.881.8900

Mountains of Art Built in 1898, the Nicholas Roerich Museum displays 150 paintings of Russian artist Nicolas Roerich (1874–1947), known as “The Master of Mountains” because of his Central Asian mountain travel expeditions.

The works of the St. Petersburg-born artist, permanently on view in this classic Upper West Side town house (left), focus on themes including Russia's ancient past (a nod to Roerich’s fascination with archaeology), mythic origins, natural beauty and the spiritual strivings of mankind. | Nicholas Roerich Museum, 319 W. 107th St., 212.864.7752

Whitman’s Bucolic World

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the 1819 Walt Whitman house (above), built by Walt Whitman's father, includes 130 portraits of Whitman, original letters, the writing desk used by Whitman as a young schoolteacher on Long Island and a first edition of Leaves of Grass. | Walt Whitman Birthplace, 246 Old Walt Whitman Rd., Huntington, Long Island, 631.427.5240

3-D Mini Me

THE RETAIL SCENE by Joni Sweet

Once only available to the wealthy and royal, portraiture now comes to the masses in the most high-tech way. DOOB offers 3-D printed replicas of you, your family and even your dog, between four and 14 inches tall. Just step inside the “DOOB-licator,” a scanning system with 54 cameras, and say “Cheese!” All the cameras snap at the same moment, capturing a 360-degree view of the subject. DOOB then sends the file to its production hub in Brooklyn, where it comes to life through a powder-based resin polymer and is shipped to the customer in about two weeks.

While it may seem like a novelty to have an action figure of yourself, DOOB actually offers shoppers an intimate collectible item. A couple could use the service to create a personal topper for their wedding cake. Animal lovers can freeze a special moment as they cuddle with their pets. The most mainstream application, however, might just be the 3-D family portrait: preserving mom, dad and the kids at a memorable time, such as their first trip to New York City. | DOOB, 28 Wooster St., 347.688.4365

Subtle Swarovski

Typically set in precious metal, Swarovski crystals steal the show with their sparkles. But those who crave more subtlety turn to Peppercotton, a Brooklyn-based jewelry brand.

Designers Aurelia Cotton and Patrick Culpepper use a funnel to fill nylon mesh tubing with the vintage crystals. They’ve become masters of this distinctive medium, creating stunning rainbow gradients of twisted strands (above) that look beautiful on the neck or wrist.

Equally amazing are Peppercotton’s necklaces shaped as monkey knots and bow ties. The precise shapes, combined with the texture of the crystals, are mind-blowing. | Lord & Taylor, 424 Fifth Ave., 212.391.3344

Clutches to Bet On Designer Fiona Kotur taps lady luck for inspiration for her latest collection of whimsical clutches. The line features motifs from billiards (left), poker, dice, dominoes, slot machines, backgammon, roulette and playing cards. We bet these geometric handbags will win a few compliments when paired with a little black dress for a night on the town. | Bloomingdale’s, 1000 Third Ave., 212.705.2000

GREAT DINING EXPERIENCES by Lois Levine

Broadway Fave Since 1983, Orso has been known as a definitive Broadway destination for a fine pre-theater meal, but you need not limit this charming restaurant to only that. The crisp, thin pizza (left) is a Tuscan specialty here, offered with inventive toppings that include Black Mission figs and walnuts. A chilled yellow tomato gazpacho hit the spot on a hot, humid day, and a grilled skirt steak with arugula and shaved Parmesan was tender and wellflavored. A $29 lunch special offers three courses that can be savored surrounded by gold-sponged walls, modernist artwork and the occasional celebrity spotting (for me, it was F. Murray Abraham). | Orso, 322 W. 46th St., 212.489.7212

Roc Rocks

Bloomie’s Lunch Whether fine dining or casual, famed restaurateur David Burke puts his stamp on exciting, creative dishes. A recent midday trip to Bloomingdale’s motivated me to try his eatery in the department store in Midtown (above). Lunch options at the casual eatery include a large plate of burrata, colored with thick red and yellow tomatoes and layered with prosciutto; a bowl of spicy ceviche; and the ubiquitous kale salad, enlivened by fried chickpeas and a honey-aioli dressing. | David Burke at Bloomingdale‘s, 1000 Third Ave., 212.705.3800

The eclectic decor of this TriBeCa restaurant (below), mixing traditional (a Victorian-era chandelier, antique vases, original cast-iron arches from the circa 1800 building) with contemporary (an oversize vase that looks like it is made of spaghetti, simple white drapes), works beautifully, as does everything else here.

A warm waitstaff helps you navigate a menu of appealing choices, from succulent short ribs of beef sitting atop mashed potatoes spiked with Brussels sprouts, to a perfectly sautéed branzino, partnered with lively mixed greens. Happy and well-fed is well-done here. | Roc Restaurant, 190-A Duane St., 212.625.3333

Colonial Cocktails

Casual Paradise

Have you ever thought you may feel more at home in an earlier era? We haven’t found a time machine yet, but a visit to the Manhattan Cricket Club comes pretty close to traveling to the turn of the 20th century.

Sip on drinks like the Boulevard of Broken Dreams (right; Knob Creek small-batch rye, Cappelletti Aperitivo, Dolin sweet vermouth, orange bitters) at this upscale den, which features a library, vintage photos, leather seating, gold brocade and an Ivy League vibe. On Mondays, enjoy bespoke martinis and live jazz. | Manhattan Cricket Club, 226 W. 79th St., 646.823.9252

Watermark Bar & Lounge doesn’t have a huge menu of complicated cocktails—and it doesn’t need one. It’s got spacious waterfront seating and a beautiful panoramic view of the Brooklyn and Williamsburg bridges. However, once you start sampling its casual offerings of sangria (below), spiked lemonade and mojitos, along with comfort snacks like mac ‘n’ cheese bites and fried pickles, you might just find yourself still at the lounge long after the sun has set. | Watermark Bar & Lounge, 78 South St., 212.742.8200

Secret Garden

Crowning the Roosevelt Hotel, Mad46 lounge (above) invites guests to enjoy big drinks and small bites in a swanky setting.

It feels like a secret garden, with flowers, patio furniture and a stunning view of Midtown. Its signature drink, a twist on the mojito, goes down easily with its blend of coconut rum and a generous amount of fresh mint.

Best enjoyed with snacks like potato pierogi, grilled artichokes and flatbread pizza. | Mad46, enter on E. 46th St., btw Madison & Vanderbilt aves., 212.885.6095

The Fillmore Room didn’t look too far from home for inspiration for its “Borough Classics” cocktail menu.

FILM, STAGE AND TELEVISION STAR TAYE DIGGS RETURNS TO BROADWAY IN HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH.

PHOTO: DARREN TIESTE/CPI SYNDICATION

By Bob Cannon “ONE HUNDRED PERCENT.” It’s an instinctive response of agreement for the relentlessly positive Taye Diggs, the star of TNT’s Murder in the First, who recently took over the lead in Hedwig and the Angry Inch at the Belasco Theatre. “A tough role? Yeah, to say the least,” he says of the part of Hedwig, which demands a rocking, high-energy dramatic, musical and dance performance—all in high heels. “I’m just beginning to get the words and music in my body, so the process is still at its neophyte stage, but I know that just from seeing so many different performers, it’s challenging.” However, Diggs isn’t intimidated. “Actually, it has an opposite effect,” he insists. “Knowing that these actors have done it successfully is very encouraging. It’s flattering, and it’s an honor, frankly.” Indeed, ever since John Cameron Mitchell’s powerhouse musical about a transgendered German rocker debuted Off- Broadway in 1998, Hedwig has been played by folks like Mitchell himself, Tony Award winners Michael Cerveris and Neil Patrick Harris, Glee star Darren Criss and Golden Globe winner Michael C. Hall.

“It’d be different if everybody who did it fell on their face,” he laughs, “but everybody who’s taken on the role has done a great job. So that gives me faith that I’ll be able to do a good job as well.

“In fact, I’m going to Neil Patrick Harris today just to get some insight on this role, because he did it so well.

I just want to know if there are any trade secrets.

“One of the main things I’m bringing is darker skin,” he kids. “I’m going to bring a little chocolate to it, mix it up. It’ll make a nice recipe.”

For Diggs, it will mark his first Broadway turn since Wicked 12 years ago. And does he love the nightly rush of adrenaline that comes with live theater? “Oh, 100 percent. I’d be lying if I didn’t say that every once in a while there’s a little bit of anxiety that creeps in, but outside of trusting the rehearsal process, there’s also the audience.

It’s the type of show where people are really invested, so I feel supported by the audience as well.”

He mentions that he has a photo shoot after our interview. “It’ll be my first time putting on the heels!” he laughs. “Yeah, it’s gotta get done!”

Getting it done is the operative phrase for Diggs’ life.

He was born Scott Leo Diggs on Jan. 2, 1971, in Newark, N.J., to teacher/actress Marcia Berry Diggs and Jeffries Diggs. The name Taye came from his nickname “Scottaye.” The family moved to Rochester, N.Y., but when his father died suddenly, the boy stepped up to help his mother care for his four younger siblings. As a result, he didn’t enter the acting ranks until he was 15.

But his mother’s example was strong. “My mother went back to school for theater and dance, so we were constantly being dragged along to rehearsals, classes and shows. We were exposed to that theater spirit.

“There was something about the camaraderie, everybody hanging out backstage in the green room before a show. I could feel that excitement, that energy.”

Diggs dove into the actor’s life—100 percent, of course.

He attended Rochester’s School of the Arts, then Syracuse University as a musical theater major. After graduating in 1993, he got bit parts in Broadway productions such as Carousel, and after a side trip to Japan singing in a Caribbean revue at Tokyo Disneyland, he returned to the Great White Way and landed his breakthrough stage role of Benny in the original production of Rent—where he also met his future wife, castmate Idina Menzel, whom he married in 2003. He followed that with theatrical roles in Chicago, The Wild Party and Wicked.

Shortly after, he made his film debut alongside Angela Bassett in How Stella Got Her Groove Back, bringing much acclaim and raising ladies’ temperatures.

“I was kind of the Chocolate Flavor of the Month for a while,” he laughs. “So I got to really hone my skills in the technique of film acting, because I got to do a bunch of movies after that.”

But it is actually Diggs’ television work that has made him a household name. Roles on Ally McBeal and Kevin Hill prepared him for his defining role of Dr. Sam Bennett, first guest-starring on Grey’s Anatomy and then its spinoff Private Practice. Currently, he is drawing raves for Murder in the First as a San Francisco detective coping with the death of his terminally ill wife.

But for Diggs, it is now about doing eight shows a week in Hedwig. “I’m getting the voice back up and running,” he says. “It’s the grind, but it’s the life.”

Meanwhile, having divorced Menzel last year, Diggs is happy to have set up house in TriBeCa, and has been bopping around the city with their 5-year-old son, Walker. “It just has so much to offer,” Diggs says of TriBeCa, “and it’s a great place to raise kids, it’s really convenient.

But I love the entire city, and when you have a kid, it’s a great place to have adventures. There’s so much good food, and so many different parks.

“I’m old school. I love Central Park. With Walker, we love to hit the [American] Museum of Natural History.

“In New York, every time you open up your door, you have no idea of what to expect. You can walk down the same street and there are thousands of different people walking down that same street. I love it—100 percent.”

fun of it, we created three traveler “profiles,”

with recommendations for each on how to best maximize their stay. Mix and match our

suggestions below: The bottom line is to create for yourself a whopping good time in the city of endless possibilities. By Pamela Grossman

ACTIVITIES The High Line (Gansevoort St. to W. 34th St., 212.500.6035)—a park built on the abandoned tracks of an elevated railroad—is a definitive “must-see,” with its great views, striking landscaping and artistic spirit. The park offers guided tours, lectures, art exhibits, dance and music performances, and telescope-powered stargazing sessions—all free. Bonus: It’s right near the new Whitney Museum of American Art, which for serious foodies, also houses Danny Meyer’s newest restaurant, Untitled. Plus, you’ll be close to Chelsea and its wide variety of art galleries. Out in the other trendy borough, Queens, at Socrates Sculpture Park (32-01 Vernon Blvd., Long Island City, Queens, 718.956.1819) enjoy one of the city’s outdoor foreign film series, as well as compelling outdoor sculpture exhibits. You can actually get there via a kayak, available from several city piers. Participants must know how to swim; and pants might get splashed, so bring a spare pair (lockers and changing rooms available). You’ll love this chance to glide over the waves while taking in stunning views. Kayaks are available at various locations, including Manhattan (downntownboathouse.org); Brooklyn (with access to Brooklyn Bridge Park, bbpboathouse.org); and Queens (with access to the aforementioned Socrates Sculpture Park, licboathouse.org). If your groovy inner-adventurer hopes to fly through the air, try a two-hour outdoor trapeze class at Trapeze School (353 West St., 917.797.1872). Finally, the McCarren Hotel’s saltwater pool in trendy Williamsburg (160 N. 12th St., Brooklyn, 718.218.7500) offers all the relaxation of swimming without the chlorine. Day passes for non-hotel guests are available.

Clockwise from botton left: The saltwater pool at the McCarren Hotel; the Steve Alan shop; Butter restaurant in Midtown, located in a refurbished movie theater.

DRINKING AND/OR DINING Cool comes in all flavors in this town. A cocktail with fashionable Midtown professionals? Try The Campbell Apartment in Grand Central Terminal (15 Vanderbilt Ave., 212.953.0409), located in the salon of 1920s mogul John W. Campbell.

For an arty Chelsea experience, check out the speakeasy-style Raines Law Room (48 W. 17th St., so hip it doesn’t have a phone). Mealwise, hot spot Butter (70 W. 45th St., 212.253.2828) boasts a new garden space; and the Midtown Tao (42 E. 58th St., 212.888.2288), located in a refurbished movie theater, offers Asianfusion cuisine, a trendy crowd and a dim sum brunch on Sundays.

SHOPPING The West Village’s Darling (1 Horatio St., 646.336.6966) is, truly, a darling spot for what might best be described as women’s “party clothes” (and it includes a fabulous back garden). The sleek boutique Scoop (several locations, including 1275-1277 Third Ave., 212.535.5577) is known for the latest in men’s and women’s designer fashions. And Steven Alan (several locations, including 229 Franklin St., 212.226.7482) features well-curated and beautifully structured unique apparel for men, women and children, as well as jewelry and home decor.

ENTERTAINMENT The Paramount Hotel’s Diamond Horseshoe (235 W. 46th St., 212.706.7448) first opened in 1938, and recently relaunched as a performance space. Cool jazz cats love Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola (Broadway & W. 60th St., 212.258.9595) and the legendary Village Vanguard (178 Seventh Ave. So., 212.255.4037). For the hottest of dance clubs, check out the scene-y Le Bain (848 Washington St., 212.645.7600), in the Standard hotel; Space Ibiza New York (637 W. 50th St., 212.247.2447) has a huge dance floor, top deejays and is open on Fridays and Saturdays.

ACTIVITIES With 265 wildlife-filled acres and exhibits such as Tiger Mountain and the Congo Gorilla Forest, the Bronx Zoo (2300 Southern Blvd., Bronx, 718.220.1500) is a good deal any day, but it’s by donation on Wednesdays. Of course you’ll visit world-famous Central Park (centralparknyc.org). A stroll on its paths is among New York’s priceless freebies. Activity-wise, a vintage carousel ($3) wows kids at the south end, while the Conservatory Water off E. 72nd St. is a spot for model sailboats (bring your own, or rent for $11 per half hour; check out the statues of Hans Christian Anderson and Alice in Wonderland while you’re there). A little bit north at the Central Park Lake, rent a rowboat at the Loeb Boathouse ($12 per hour) for beautiful park views. Explore the gorgeous blooms in season at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden (990 Washington Ave., 718.623.7200). There, gardens offer kids’ activities, and Tuesdays are free. Similarly, Wednesdays and Saturday mornings are free at The New York Botanical Garden (2900 Southern Blvd., Bronx, 718.817.8700). The United Nations children’s tour (799 United Nations Plz., 212.415.4000), for kids ages 5-12, addresses the organization’s work via quizzes, puzzles and games. The 45-minute tour is offered every Thursday, and the visitors’ café has child-friendly offerings, like flat-bread pizza.

KIDS AT HEART

You’re eager to explore but would rather not break the bank. With children in tow, costs (souvenirs! post-meltdown cab rides!) can add up.

Don’t worry: There are lots of affordable options.

DINING Cevich (21 E. 15th St., 212.242.4976) will please all palates with its fresh, locally sourced and thoroughly yummy meals, starting at about $9. The kids might not have had ceviche before, but its unfussy ingredients won’t be “too weird” to explore. The Grey Dog (thegreydog.com), with several locations, has breakfast, sandwiches, soups, salads, and the kid staples of burgers and nachos. And over at Ellen’s Stardust Diner (1650 Broadway, 212.956.5151) has a traditional diner menu and a less-traditional singing waitstaff belting out pop songs and show tunes, something that will tickle the whole crowd.

SHOPPING The department store Century 21 (1972 Broadway, 212.518.2121, plus two other locations) is known for discounted designer clothes for adults and kids, and also has a decent selection of toys. The LEGO flagship store in the Flatiron District (200 Fifth Ave., 212.255.3217) will dazzle the younger set with its 3-D murals and lounge area with children’s books and a building carpet. Similarly, the 110,000-square-foot Toys ‘R’ Us in Times Square (1514 Broadway, 646.366.8800), which has a life-size Barbie dollhouse and the added attraction of a 60-foot Ferris wheel ($5 per person).

ENTERTAINMENT Visit Central Park’s SummerStage (E. 72nd St. and Fifth Ave., 212.360.2777) for free family-friendly shows like the Ebony Hillbillies. Midtown’s Bryant Park offers juggling, story times and other fun stuff for kids, also free (bry antpark.org). The Hunger Games at Discovery Times Square is a must for your ’tweens and teens (226 W. 44th St., 866.987.9692). Of course you will want to see a Broadway show, and, yes, prices can be steep, but options for inexpensive tickets include TKTS booths around the city (tkts .org) and rush and standing-roomonly (SRO) tickets, sold at the box office on the day of performance.

HIGH ROLLERS

There isn’t anything more retro, elegant and romantic than an evening of dinner and dancing at New York’s legendary Rainbow Room in Rockefeller Center.

For this trip, you’ve decided that money is no object. You’re interested in experiences that are custom-tailored to your high-class tastes and as specialized as possible.

7/9/15 12:46:52 PM

Above: At the Tiffany Salon, work with a designer to create your own custom jewelry piece. Top, right: Enjoy High Tea at the Palm Court at the Plaza Hotel. Right: Take a Lamborghini Huracán for a spin around town, courtesy of Gotham Cars.

DINING Often described as the finest steak in the city, the rustic and legendary (since 1887) Peter Luger Steak House (178 Broadway, Williamsburg, Brooklyn, 718.387.7400) should not be missed. Specialized chef’s tables, at which the chef discusses the meal and its preparation with diners, are available at acclaimed restaurants, including Aldea (31 W. 17th St., 212.675.7223) and Daniel (60 E. 65th St., 212.288.0033), among others. And nothing beats The Plaza (768 Fifth Ave., 212.759.3000) for classic elegance; enjoy afternoon tea at the Palm Court or the Europeaninspired Todd English Food Hall.

SHOPPING At Bergdorf Goodman (745 Fifth Ave., 212.753.7300), connect with a personal stylist, who will help find the offerings that are best for you.

Looking for a truly personal creation?

The Tiffany Salon (727 Fifth Ave., 212.605.4447, by appointment) allows patrons to work with a jewelry designer to create a custom piece.

Also custom-made, Michael Andrews Bespoke (2 Great Jones Alley, 212.677.1755) generates rave reviews for men’s suits; and Dara Lamb (37 W. 57th St., 212.935.2344) is celebrated for her custom couture for women (from business suits to formal gowns and cocktail dresses).

ENTERTAINMENT 54 Below (254 W. 54th St., 646.476.3551), the supper club built below the original Studio 54 disco, offers cabaret entertainment and dining; if you are a regular visitor to NYC, consider becoming a gold member ($300 annual fee), which includes access to exclusive performances. On select evenings, the Rainbow Room (30 Rockefeller Plz., 212.632.5000) is open for live music, dinner and dancing. And on Thursday nights, the Museum of Modern Art (11 W. 53rd St., 212.708.9400) hosts concerts in the Sculpture Garden and offers light refreshments in this beautiful outdoor space.

WHITNEY MUSEUM OF AMERICAN ART

THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART

When I stepped out onto the airy outdoor exhibition spaces at the Whitney, which opened the doors of its new Meatpacking District home in May, the idea for this article was born. Guests enjoy expansive views of the city from the eighth floor, where they can also dine alfresco at Studio Café. Cascading terraces showcase cool sculptures, like “Untitled,” a piece by Joel Shapiro inspired by a leaning man; Scott Burton’s polished granite chairs; and “Cubi XXI,” David Smith’s geometric work of stainless steel (pictured at far left). The colorful chairs on the fifth-floor terrace provide golden Instagram opportunities. And don’t miss America Is Hard to See (thru Sept. 27), an exhibit of 600 works from the Whitney collection, many of which have never been shown. 99 Gansevoort St., 212.570.3600, whitney.org

Yes, the Met’s Roof Garden Commission is a finished work, though it’s easy to get confused by the upturned slabs and exposed dirt of Parisian artist Pierre Huyghe’s site-specific art. Visitors who dig deeper into what looks like a construction site will find a living experiment with weeds, mud and puddles. The fish tank containing a boulder draws curiousity seekers, watching as organisms that originated millions of years ago, including tadpole shrimps and lampreys, float by.

It’s a perplexing work focused on themes of time and interconnectivity, perhaps best pondered over a glass of wine from the café. Afterward, get lost in exhibits like the fashion-focused China: Through the Looking Glass (thru Sept. 7). 1000 Fifth Ave., 212.535.7710, metmuseum.org IN NEW YORK | AUGUST 2015 | INNEWYORK.COM

From nearly every floor of MoMA, visitors can gaze down and see the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden. It’s a summer oasis, with cool stone flooring, peaceful fountains, leafy trees and ample space to relax. The garden is buzzing (literally!) thru Aug. 15, with Pierre Huyghe’s “Untilled (Liegender Frauenakt),” a concrete sculpture of a reclining female nude with a live beehive for a head. The sculpture garden hosts the annual MoMA Nights concert series as well, with performances by Brooklyn-based house and techno music DJ Galcher Lustwerk on Aug. 6, indie-pop band Lower Dens on Aug. 13, postpunk band Regal Degal on Aug. 20 and singer/songwriter Tei Shi on Aug. 27. Indoors, thru Sept. 7, visitors can see Yoko Ono: One Woman Show, 1960-1971 and One-Way Ticket: Jacob Lawrence’s Migration Series and Other Works, along with MoMA’s renowned permanent collection. 11 W. 53rd St., 212.708.9400, moma.org

The Cloisters

THE CLOISTERS Summer might just be the best time to visit this northern Manhattan branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, devoted to the art and architecture of medieval Europe. It’s the season when the lush gardens, intended to serve as a reminder of Eden, are in full bloom.

While beautiful, the gardens aren’t precisely manicured and instead reflect a 12th-to15th-century vision of the perfect garden, an impression of a meadow with a huge variety of plants of different heights and colors, open to the sky to symbolize a mirror to heaven.

The serene space exudes romance—I even saw a discreet marriage proposal on a recent visit. There’s also a medicinal garden filled with plants once considered healing or magical. Inside, you’ll find the famous Unicorn Tapestries, along with some 20,000 sculptures and medieval treasures. 99 Margaret Corbin Dr., 212.923.3700, metmuseum.org IN NEW YORK | JUNE 2015 | INNEWYORK.COM

NATIONAL SEPTEMBER 11 MEMORIAL & MUSEUM Cascading waterfalls and stark black parapets inscribed with the names of the nearly 3,000 victims of the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, and Feb. 26, 1993, are now found where the Twin Towers once stood. It’s a humbling site, where people pay tribute with roses and make rubbings of the names, arranged not alphabetically, but, meaningfully, with the names of family, friends and coworkers together. The story of the nearby Callery pear tree, known as the “Survivor Tree,” is fascinating: Found as a charred stump at Ground Zero, the tree was nursed back to health in the Bronx by the Department of Parks and Recreation, but was virtually forgotten until Ron Vega, director of design and construction at the memorial, tracked it down and returned it to its home in 2010. The museum provides detailed context for the horrific events that transpired nearly 14 years ago. 180 Greenwich St., 212.312.8800, 911memorial.org

Hop aboard the legendary aircraft carrier Intrepid, which served tours of duty in World War II and the Vietnam War. Its open-air flight deck, where Japanese kamikaze planes once struck, now shows off an unrivaled aircraft collection representing all five of the U.S. armed forces and international units. Highlights include a Grumman Tracer from 1958, featuring a distinctive aerodynamic radome; an F-11A Tiger from 1956 that was used by the Blue Angels in the 1960s; a shark-faced, 1957 F-8k Crusader, the first aircraft to break the sound barrier on its maiden flight; and a 1967 A-12 Blackbird, a 102-foot jet equipped with cameras that could take photos from 80,000 feet up. They all look ready for battle with the blue sky above. Don’t miss the Space Shuttle Pavilion, featuring the Enterprise, and submarine Growler.

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.

Wedged between its better-known siblings Cobble Hill and Park Slope, the quiet neighborhood of Boerum Hill is characterized by wide, tree-lined blocks with brownstones that date back to the early 1800s. There is a slower pace and a European charm here, which is undoubtedly part of the reason that a smattering of celebrities and members of the literati call it home.

Asparagus salad at Rucola

DINE Excellent restaurants abound in Boerum Hill, and one of my favorite spots in all of Brooklyn is Rucola (rucolabrooklyn .com), a laid-back Northern Italian joint with a picturesque dining room and memorable veggies and homemade pasta. Mile End Deli (mileenddeli.com), a Montreal-inspired Jewish deli that is way more popular than its tiny square footage would suggest, serves incredible brisket and poutine—but you have to wrangle a seat first! Newcomer Boomwich (boomwich .com) is a reliable lunch stop, with an eclectic menu of both old-school and updated hero sandwiches to choose from. For visitors looking to drop some serious coin, Boerum Hill is also home to Chef’s Table at Brooklyn Fare (brooklynfare.com/ pages/chefs-table), which serves a 15-plus course dinner and is Brooklyn’s only restaurant with three Michelin stars.

Erica Weiner

SHOP Boerum Hill is full of places to scratch your retail therapy itch. Erica Weiner (ericaweiner.com) sells a curated selection of antique lockets and cameos alongside modern, house-designed pieces. Scent aficionados will be blown away by Twisted Lily Fragrance Boutique (twistedlily.com), which has a plethora of hard-to-find perfumes from all over the world. If it’s a new outfit you’re after, Kaight (kaightshope.com) sells eco-friendly women’s clothing and accessories with a boho aesthetic. Atlantic Ave. is known for its antique and home decor purveyors, and it’s always fun to poke through the warehouses of beautiful midcentury modern furniture. You’re most likely to find a souvenir that you can actually bring home with you at Collier West (collierwest.com) or Sterling Place (sterlingplace.com).

A little decadence never hurt anyone: At the end of your trip, give in to a vice or two at Nunu Chocolates (nunuchocolates.com), which famously makes craft beerflavored ganache, and St. Gambrinus Beer Shoppe (stgambrinusbeershoppe. com), which has a rotating list of rare and unique indie brews on tap and hundreds of hard-to-find bottles.
