12/11/15 12:43:28 PM

Check out the new Federal Bar in über-hip Williamsburg, Brooklyn (367 Metropolitan Ave., 718.388.8417), which bills itself as a locavore gastropub, offering a menu that includes pork rillettes; and mac ‘n‘ cheese with orecchiette, broccoli and fried panko. Whether or not you are staying there, join the throngs at the Waldorf Astoria New York (301 Park Ave., 212.872.1275) for Sunday brunch at Peacock Alley. The sumptuous feast includes a cocktail, soup, salad, seafood dishes, classic breakfast selections, hot entrées, carving stations and, of course, to-die-for desserts such as baked Alaska lollipops and the Waldorf’s own red velvet cake. I recently took an early dinner, comfortably solo, at the bar of Midtown’s sleek new Ocean Prime (123 W. 52nd St., 212.956.1404), digging into two plump lobster tails and an oversize house salad. P.S.: Love the menu’s request for “stylish attire.” Lower Manhattan’s Parisian-style bistro Racines NY (94 Chambers St., 212.227.3400) recently launched a prix fixe lunch menu.

Choose from tasty French specialties such as steamed egg with mushroom velouté and skate meunière. Since I always find it a struggle to find a quality eatery on the Upper West Side, I warmly welcome Tessa (349 Amsterdam Ave., 212.390.1974), a lively Mediterranean spot with everything from rabbit cavatelli to a variety of mezzes (small plates).

Song-and-Dance Man

At 72 years, actor/dancer/singer/choreographer Maurice Hines (above, left) cannot and will not slow down. So, how does he keep up with young co-stars like John Manzari (above, right) in his Off-Broadway show, “Maurice Hines Tappin’ Thru Life”? “I do the treadmill three times a week, 20 minutes each time. I do a ballet barre to keep me stretched. My abs are good because I sing correctly. I stopped eating meat 20 years ago.” And he walks. A lot. On the day we talked, he was about to go thrift shopping. “I love thrift shops,” he said, with his infectious joie de vivre. For more on Hines, including anecdotes and a story about Ella Fitzgerald that had me chuckling for days, go to innewyork.com/editorsblog. | “Maurice Hines Tappin’ Thru Life,” New World Stages, 340 W. 50th St., 212.239.6200

Funny Girl

Making a big noise on Broadway in Michael Frayn’s farce “Noises Off” is Tracee Chimo. She’s the one on the phone (left), the one with the pained look on her face. Chimo is Poppy Norton-Taylor, assistant stage manager of the play-within-the-play in which nothing goes right, either onstage or backstage. “Poppy’s underestimated and misunderstood,” the actress says. “She gets her heart deeply broken.” Has Chimo ever experienced antics like those portrayed in “Noises Off”?

Yes. Recently. But she’s not talking: “You never know.” For more on this stage star (she turned down Martin Scorsese’s “The Wolf of Wall Street” to do a play!), go to innewyork.com/editorsblog. | “Noises Off,” American Airlines Theatre, 227 W. 42nd St., 212/719.1300

THE AFTER-DARK SCENE by Joni Sweet

Skytop Lounge

You can find welcome respite from the endless crowds of Times Square at the tallest hotel rooftop bar in the city, located on the 54th floor of the Hyatt Times Square. Bar 54, the sophisticated sky-high lounge, has three things going for it: ample choices of well-made cocktails, savory bar snacks and shared plates, and killer vistas of the Chrysler Building, One World Trade Center and all of Downtown from the outdoor terrace (open for viewing, even in winter). This place was clearly made for groups—the large tables seat gatherings of friends comfortably as they sip premium punch designed to serve parties of three or more. Advance reservations are suggested. | Bar 54, 135 W. 45th St., 646.364.1234

Hotel bars can be hit or miss. Fortunately for the Dream Midtown, The Rickey is a hit whose excellence is most evident in its cocktails, which are as beautiful as they are tasty. The Pomegranate Rickey, for example, is chilled with a pomegranate-seed-studded ice cube, while the Rickey Ricardo (left) comes with a generous sprig of mint. The crown jewel at this lounge is the Bourgeois Pig, a martini made with Belvedere vodka, truffle-washed vermouth, muddled truffle and rosemary. At $50 a pop, it’s worth savoring every last drop. | The Rickey, 210 W. 55th St., 646.756.2054

Victorian Den

Looking for a place to get cozy on the Upper East Side this winter? Step inside The Auction House, a two-room, Victorian-style bar with red velvet drapes and sofas, ornately framed mirrors, crystal chandeliers, marble tables and macabre oil paintings that create an ambience somewhere between romantic drinking den and haunted house. Choose from the menu of cocktails, beer and wine, then snuggle up next to the fireplace for a toasty evening. While the bar is generally relaxed, it has rules: a ban on fur gaments and a sometimes-enforced age minimum of 25. | The Auction House, 300 E. 89th St., 212.427.4458

Canny Cocktails Little bottles of liquor aren’t just for airplanes anymore. Genuine Liquorette, a recently opened subterranean bar in Little Italy, pops baby bottles, neck down, in mixers, like Dole pineapple juice and San Pellegrino citrus sodas, for canned versions of palomas, mojitos and piña coladas (above).

There’s also a self-service program—grab a full-size bottle from the shelves lining the joint and have your fill. It’s priced by weight, so you can have as little (or as much) as you like. | Genuine Liquorette, 191 Grand St., 646.726.4633

IF YOU ARE IN THE MOOD to get the new year off to an indulgent start, you’re in luck. A slew of ultra-luxe watches are available for purchase this winter by some of the most prestigious names in jewelry and timepieces. There are timepieces inspired by the military, watches lavishly skeletonized to reveal the mechanical purity within, pocket watches for the retro timekeeper and watches tucked beneath jewels you could easily forget were created to display the time in the first place.

Horological History

At Watch Time New York ork (the nation’s premier luxury watch show), held at Gotham Hall this past fall, Ball Watch (named after Webb C. Ball, who introduced accurate timekeeping and safety to America’s merica’s 19th-century railroad system) unveiled its Fireman NECC CC for the first time: a watch created specifically for the US Navy Expeditionary xpeditionary Combat Command. (Barneys New York, 660 Madison Ave., ve., 212.833.2293) The Van Cleef & Arpels Alhambra lhambra bracelet watch is made of onyx and diamonds, and is engraved with the words, “5th Ave Edition.” The black-and-white motif takes inspiration from novelist Truman Capote’s black-and-white masked ball held in New York’s Plaza Hotel in 1966 in honor of Washington Post publisher Katharine Graham, where guests included Frank Sinatra and then-wife Mia Farrow. (Vanity Fair wryly noted in 1996, in a 30th anniversary look back at the ball: “If you weren’t invited … you simply left town.”) (744 Fifth Ave., 212.896.9284)

12/11/15 11:50:40 AM

Another distinctive watch on Fifth Ave. this season is Tiffany & Co.’s CT60, inspired by a watch originally given to President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1945 and associated with Charles Lewis Tiffany’s invention of the phrase, “a New York minute,” the phrase originating after the unveiling of the Tiffany Atlas clock in 1853, located above the entrance to the Fifth Avenue flagship.

(727 Fifth Ave., 212.755.8000) Harry Winston’s newest Opus watch, an annual release bringing together cutting-edge watchmakers to push design boundaries, mimics the action of a jukebox, boasting a star-spangled dial and 1,066 components. The limited edition of 50 watches has a price tag rumored to be in excess of $400,000, although the powers that be at Harry Winston prefer to say POA, or price on application. (718 Fifth Ave., 212.399.1000)

Bejeweled Beauties

Another trend this season is watches set in precious, vibrant hues. Highlights include Bulgari’s delectable high-jewelry series of Diva watches, set in 18-karat white or pink gold, and made with onyx, pink tourmaline or turquoise, among other precious stones. (730 Fifth Ave., 212.315.9000) Piaget recently scooped a prize for its Extremely Piaget cuff watch at the annual Oscars of the watch industry, the Grand Prix de l’Horlogerie de Genève, held this past fall in Geneva, Switzerland. With a 1960s aesthetic and a daring geometric bracelet design set with 1,536 diamonds, its super-thin inner workings allow for the eye-popping combination with a natural stone dial of bluegreen onyx. (730 Fifth Ave., 212.246.5555) While the ultra-feminine Milleluci from Buccellati is coated with 544 marquise and brilliant diamonds, some ladies’ jewelry watches this year are becoming more technically minded. (714 Madison Ave., 212.308.2900).

Graff, for example, has unveiled its first ladies’ tourbillon, which aims to overcome the inaccuracies of timekeeping caused by gravity. The MasterGraff Floral Tourbillon took in-house teams over 2,500 hours to develop.

Diamond flowers on the watch, made up of marquise diamonds, rotate reassuringly with every passing moment.

(710 Madison Ave., 212.355.9292) Audemars Piguet’s staggering “diamond punk” cuff watch, another recent winner in Geneva, confidently blurs the lines between jewel and watch. Its 56 diamondcoated pyramid facets are set with 7,848 diamonds and a

SECRET SAFES

With watchmakers now routinely offering extravagant creations bearing price tags of six and even seven figures, security is becoming a top concern among serious watch buyers, according to leading makers of bespoke safes, Buben & Zorweg.

Among the most extravagant safes on offer in New York are Buben & Zorweg’s X-007 (right) and Extreme X-007, which can be installed underground. With a starting price of a cool $205,000, the 360-degree spyglass showcases on each of these can turn transparent on command, while the entire safe interiors elevate dramatically at the touch of a button— all with the added benefit of imbuing the owner with the sense he is playing the starring role in his own imagined secret-agent movie.

Then there is Buben & Zorweg’s Agartos—a showcase, safe and watch winder for five watches, crowned

with an open-dial tourbillon clock, priced at $39,000. Its doors sweep open and close in response to sensor technology, but only when the person touching the Agartos knows where to slide his hands. (Buben & Zorweg available in New York at Wempe, 700 Fifth Ave., 212.397.9000) Across the pond, but available online, at British design house Linley (whose owner is nephew to Queen Elizabeth ll), storage creations for watch aficionados include the Sunrise valet cabinet (left), priced at an estimated $120,000 in US dollars (the company will only quote the British price of £80,000). A steel-and-glass structure, its facade of bird’s-eye maple veneer is dyed in copper tones, bleached in sycamore and set with mother-ofpearl. Compartments lined with orange leather are designed for cuff links, collar stiffeners and shirt studs.

Within the cabinet are SwissKubik watch winders and a watch tool kit. And, hidden within the cabinetry, is a Bramah safe. To order, visit davidlinley.com.

High-Tech Pocket Watches

Above: MasterGraff Floral Tourbillon wristwatch.

Below: Extremely Piaget cuff watch.

Swiss watchmakers have recently been combining tradition with modernity, responding to increased interest in pocket watches. The most high-profile of these is Vacheron Constantin’s 57260. The world’s oldest watch house to have remained in continuous production has created the most complicated watch in existence. A pocket watch that took three makers eight years to complete, its moon-phase display will need correcting, but only every 1,027 years. (729 Madison Ave., 212.317.8964) Elsewhere, Roger Dubuis has come up with the Excalibur Spider pocket watch, crafted from lightweight titanium but with a decidedly heavyweight price in excess of $450,000. Its sleek and thoroughly 21st-century finish suggests it would work just as well with the right kind of jeans as with an Ermenegildo Zegna suit. And, as an added perk, it doubles as a desk clock. (700 Fifth Ave., 212.397.9000) In celebration of its 185th anniversary, Baume & Mercier has produced the stunning Clifton five-minute-repeater pocket watch in rose gold. (Joseph Edwards, 501 Fifth Ave., 212.730.7300) And, finally, Richard Mille’s RM020 is a tourbillon pocket watch that incorporates advanced carbon nanofiber into its baseplate structure. This, too, can be used as a desk clock, which can be suspended from a custom-made stand.

(Cellini Madison, 509 Madison Ave., 212.888.0505)

The Naked Truth

Stripped-back dial designs revealing beautifully decorated micro-mechanics, known as skeleton timepieces, are created by reducing all excess metal in the form of plates and bridges to their minimum, while still offering support for the moving parts of the watch. Highly skilled finishers work with microscopes to angle, engrave and polish every millimeter of surface.

Richard Mille’s tourbillon diamond twister really plays on the French word, which translates as “whirlwind.”

Rows of diamonds encase the watch movement while still leaving much open to view. (Also sold at Cellini) Other skeleton watches this season include Cartier’s Crash, whose design is based on a damaged Cartier watch originally brought in by a client to Cartier in London in 1967 (611 Fifth Ave., 212.940.2220); Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Master Ultra Thin Skeleton (701 Madison Ave., 646.828.4328); Patek Philippe’s classic Ultra Thin 5180 (45 Rockefeller Plz., 212.218.1240); and Chanel’s minimalist J12 Ceramic Flying Tourbillon Skeleton (733 Madison Ave., 212.535.5828).

How did growing up in New Orleans impact your music?

I’ve had a great time on that show. It’s challenged me to do Everything I do is a result of my upbringing in New Orsomething that I don’t normally do—which is to continuleans—all the music that I play. The unique thing about New ously critique music—and offer my opinion on it. You know, Orleans in terms of music is that there are many different it’s a very specific gig. I like what the job has had to offer.

styles. And as a musician, you’re sort of called upon to know how to play all of them. Everything from traditional jazz to contemporary jazz, to rhythm and blues, to funk, to gospel, to country. You go to these gigs as a young musician and you don’t know what type of music you will be playing or who is going to be there. One day you could show up and it’s a classical piano gig, another day [former Washington, D.C. mayor] Walter Washington is there.

That gets real deep into your bones, not to mention the indigenous style of New Orleans. With different rhythms and instrument configurations, you hear music down there that you just don’t hear anywhere else.

You’ve lived in the New York area for a while now.

Yes, and there is a lot I love about New York. My mother is from here and I moved up—let’s see, 30 years ago—and I had family up here for a long time. So for many years I have felt a strong connection with this city, largely because I used to come up here as a kid with my family to see shows and go to the restaurants. I still get some of the same nostalgic feelings that I did when I was a kid.

In your opinion, what are the differences between New York and New Orleans culture?

Well, I think one of the differences is the pace of the lifestyle. People in New York are normally going to and from work at a pretty high rate of speed. New Orleans is a much slower pace; people have a tendency to be more conversational when they see you. That might have something to do with the weather, the proximity to the Caribbean, lots of things. New York is a huge metropolis and New Orleans, although it has a substantial downtown, has more of a laid-back, smallertown feel to it.

What’s your go-to restaurant in town? Any spot in particular?

Man, I just ate at Fresco by Scotto the other night: That was tremendous. So many great restaurants here! From John’s of Bleecker Street pizza to Le Bernardin to Mario Batali’s places—Eataly and Esca to name two. It’s impossible to pick a favorite—I love so many of them!

t’s hard not to love art and antiques fairs. With dozens of dealers and specialists from the world over under one roof, a fair presents an irresistible opportunity for enthusiasts to indulge in a favorite pastime—the search for a great piece of art. Visit and you just might track down whatever it is that quickens your pulse, enhances a collection or unlocks a memory.

To kick-start 2016’s hunting season, three heavyweight fairs breeze into town this month—the Winter Antiques

Show (Jan. 22-31), the New York Ceramics & Glass Fair (Jan. 21-24) and the Outsider Art Fair (Jan. 21-24).

Here’s what to look out for.

WINTER ANTIQUES SHOW

In its 62nd year, the Winter Antiques Show brings 73 of the world’s preeminent art and antiques specialists to the Park Avenue Armory (E. 67th St. & Park Ave., 212.616.3930), a setting as impressive as its contents. For

Norman Parkinson, “Audrey Hepburn With Flowers,” 1955; 18-karat gold Cartier bracelet with sapphires, c. 1950; and Wartski gold bracelet with red stones, c. 1875, all on view at the Winter Antiques Show.

NEW YORK CERAMICS & GLASS FAIR

A short walk from the armory, the New York Ceramics & Glass Fair gathers together 30 international dealers and artists at Bohemian National Hall (321 E. 73rd St., 301.305.4543). From the fair’s beginnings in 2000, this has been the place to see eye-catching breakables from the 17th century to the present, like the winsome 4-inch-tall, salt-glazed stoneware teapot, c. 1760, showcasing a painted love duet, on display at Polka Dot Antiques, Booth 12. Aimed at the rising middle classes, teapots were hand-painted with genteel scenes—exotic birds on rocks, musicians serenading lovers—and locked away in display cabinets, one reason this piece survived.

Unlike the teapot’s anonymous artist, we know Oskar Dahl (1902-1966), a prominent artist for Arabia, Kosta and Röstrand potteries, who painted the sweeping Man-

an engaging start, head to Booth 61, home to Elle Shushan. Take in the clever Cecil Beaton theme, then look for “The Left Eye of S. Coleman, Shrouded in Cloud” (it’s blue, rendered in watercolor). Eye miniatures, aka lover’s eyes, depicting the eye (or eyes) of a loved one, enjoyed a brief-but-frenzied moment in 18th-century England after the Prince of Wales (later George IV) presented one to Maria Fitzherbert, his unsuitable paramour. “In the belief that you couldn’t recognize a person on the basis of one eye, you wore your spouse’s miniature but your lover’s eye,” explains Shushan.

Had the prince been on the prowl in 1950 he might have gifted Mrs. Fitzherbert with the tear-shaped, sapphire-studded, 18-karat gold bangle bedazzling viewers at Macklowe Gallery’s Booth 56. A rare example of midcentury Machine Age design by Cartier, the bracelet harkens back to “the clean graphics, angles and geometric lines of the 1920s and 1930s,” says Carol Federer, a Macklowe jeweler.

Enter Audrey Hepburn, pretty in pink (her dress is by Givenchy) and enveloped in bougainvillea in Norman Parkinson’s “Audrey Hepburn With Flowers” at Peter Fetterman Gallery, Booth 74. An outtake from a 1955 fashion shoot for Glamour magazine, the image was composed in Rome at the villa where Hepburn and actor Mel Ferrer had honeymooned.

For anyone interested in history or maps, a rare cartographic document merits a visit to Daniel Crouch Rare Books, Booth 15. An elaborate woodcut, c. 1767, the “Complete Geographical Map of the Everlasting Unified Qing Empire” depicts the Middle Kingdom as the political and cultural center of the world.

A more lighthearted rarity is on view at Robert Young Antiques, Booth 5. Crafted in Germany, c. 1875, the Noah’s Ark Toy features a wooden ark and dozens of painted animals—in twos, naturally. These ark sets were usually exported to the U.S.A. and Great Britain. Children were allowed to play with them on Sundays, which may explain why this example is in such good condition.

hattan skyline encircling the large blue and white Röstrand stoneware vase from 1948 on view at Earle D. Vandekar of Knightsbridge, Booth 16. But look closely, and you’ll see that Dahl improvised many of the fanciful Manhattan buildings decorating this handsome commission for the Svenska Amerika Linjen shipping line.

A wildly different take on blue and white china awaits at Booth 6, the Leslie Ferrin Gallery of contemporary ceramic art. Here stands “Goddess of the Fragments,” a 2015 sculpture by Bouke de Vries. Trained as a ceramics restorer, the Dutch-born, London-based artist takes discarded ceramic pieces and puts them together to create unexpected new guises that merge contemporary art and history. Ferrin calls de Vries “the reverse of Ai Weiwei,”

the Chinese artist who deliberately dropped a Han Dynasty-era urn to demonstrate the loss of history.

New to this year’s fair are booths devoted to ceramics and glass artists showing their own work. Stop by Booth 33 for Carrie Gustafson’s thistle vases, created by overlaying opaque and transparent glass. And at Booth 20, look for the tourmaline-scribble, open-vessel sculptures by artists Josie Gluck and Michael Schunke of Vetro Vero.

In this tour de force mash-up of traditional Venetian glassmaking practices and contemporary colors, serendipity plays a role. “While glassblowing is always controlled and precise, we are interested in the unexpected results that the process can unveil,” says Gluck.

OUTSIDER ART FAIR

Credit the Outsider Art Fair with helping to cultivate the growing enthusiasm for art by the self-taught and others “unscathed by artistic culture,” as art-brut champion Jean Dubuffet wrote in 1947. “With outsider art, you connect with it through your heart instead of your brain,” says fair director Becca Hoffman. In its 24th year, the 2016 fair brings 59 dealers and specialists to the Metropolitan Pavilion (125 W. 18th St., 212.337.3338).

Be on the lookout for works by two of outsider art’s biggest stars.

Shown at Carl Hammer Gallery (Booth 26), “Tells Gen. Evans of Experiences” is a halcyon Edwardian interior scene, c. 1945, a frequent subject for the reclusive Henry Darger (1892-1973), a Chicago hospital custodian. His posthumously discovered artworks now reside in the Whitney Museum of American Art, among other places.

Suffering from schizophrenia, Italian artist Carlo Zinelli (19161974) discovered paints and pencils when he was admitted to a hospital painting studio created by sculptors Michael Noble and Pino Castagna and psychiatrist Mario Marini. An untitled tempera on paper from 1966 at Rizomi Art Brut (Booth 28) displays Zinelli’s powerfully massive figures.

So let the hunt begin!

Just a decade ago, Williamsburg was a gritty corner of New York City known for its cheap rents and indie leanings. Today, the area is dominated by luxury high-rise complexes and trendy boutiques, event spaces (the Music Hall of Williamsburg, musichallofwilliamsburg.com), breweries (Brooklyn Brewery, brook lynbrewery.com) and more. Williamsburg is easily accessible from Manhattan via a cab ride or the L train. See some of the best the city has to offer.

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

Peter Luger Steak House

tions, Peter Luger Steak House (peterluger.com), has been serving up its famous porterhouse for over 130 years. There are more modern dining experiences to be had as well, like Marlow and Sons (marlowandsons .com), a leader in the farm-to-table movement, or Roebling Tea Room (roeblingtearoom.com), which has a killer burger. For a satisfying breakfast, head to Egg (eggrestaurant.com), and you can’t beat one of the creative sandwiches at Saltie (saltieny.com) for lunch. Finally, if you are a fan of barbecue and craft beer, check out Fette Sau (fettesaubbq.com).

Brooklyn Brewery

DRINK Williamsburg’s nightlife scene offers an inspired watering hole on just about every corner. One of my favorite spots when I’m feeling fancy is Maison Premiere (maisonpremiere.com), which trades in oysters and absinthe, among other things.

Hotel Delmano (hoteldelmano.com) mixes up some of the best cocktails in town, and Spuyten Duyvil (spuytenduyvilnyc.com) is the source for rare Belgian beers served in fancy tulip glasses. And for cocktails paired with fun, Barcade (barcadebrooklyn.com) is packed with video games like Asteroids and Ms. Pac-Man.

1. Peter Luger 2. Rough Trade 3. Music Hall of Williamsburg 4. Brooklyn Brewery 5. Maison Premiere 6. Catbird

SHOP Catbird (catbirdnyc.com) is a veteran small business that is known for its excellent selection of high-end jewelry from local, independent designers. For less expensive, bolder jewelry, as well as gifts and home goods, Milly & Earl (milly andearl.com) is worth a visit. Bird (shop bird.com) carries fantastic—if pricey— boho-style clothing, shoes and accessories, and music buffs will love Rough Trade (roughtrade.com), a stellar record store and intimate concert venue. Want to bring home some great kitchen items? You will be smitten with The Brooklyn Kitchen (thebrooklynkitchen.com), where you can drool over beautiful and functional pots, pans, barware` and gadgets.
