Time Travel

Hop To It

The great thing about collecting vintage advertising posters, apart from their decorative value, is the historical information they convey. Take the circa 1930 businessman in the “Fly Anywhere Any Time” poster (below), included in Ideas and Innovation: A Century of Vintage Posters, the feature exhibit at the International Vintage Poster Fair. Obviously, he’s the Don Draper of his day, traveling to his next meeting in style—and on time—in a Curtiss Robin monoplane, a precursor to the corporate jet. | International Vintage Poster Fair, Metropolitan Pavilion, 123 W. 18th St., btw Sixth & Seventh aves., 800.856.8069, Oct. 17-19

If you want to know what’s on trend in international contemporary dance, the annual Fall for Dance Festival is a two-week smorgasbord of brilliant moves. Companies from Australia and Africa, China and New Zealand, London and San Francisco strut their stuff at City Center. Homegrown participants, like Trisha Brown Dance Company and Mark Morris Dance Group and Music Ensemble, are well represented, too. Bringing some innercity energy to the festival is Rennie Harris Puremovement, a hip-hop dance theater troupe from Philadelphia. That’s Puremovement‘s Shafeek “Mighty Mouse” Westbrook (right) breaking and setting the dance world on its head. Terpsichore herself could learn a thing or two. | Fall for Dance Festival, New York City Center, 131 W. 55th St., 212.581.1212, Oct. 8-19

Torn From the Headlines Nearly 30 years have passed, but the incident is still fresh in New Yorkers’ memories. In 1985, Palestinian hijackers captured cruise ship Achille Lauro, shooting wheelchair-bound passenger Leon Klinghoffer—resident of E. 10th St. and a Jew—and throwing his body overboard. This month, John Adams’ opera, The Death of Klinghoffer (left), has its Metropolitan Opera premiere as arguably the most controversial work ever to enter the Met’s repertoire. | The Death of Klinghoffer, Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Center, Columbus Ave., at W. 64th St., 212.362.6000, Oct. 20, 24, 29

theater news by Francis Lewis

“I’m not one of these actors who does something of value and then retires for six months. I’m looking around immediately for the next thing.”—Brian Dennehy, currently starring in the Broadway revival of A.R. Gurney’s Love Letters

For brian dennehy’s full interview, go to innewyork.com/editorsblog

Comedy’s Queen

Beware what you text, tweet and email: That could very well be the message of Tail! Spin!, the Off-Broadway comedy about real-life political sex scandals that draws from the actual “correspondence” of four disgraced politicos. Rachel Dratch (left, with Nate Smith), that mistress of sketch comedy, plays the women in their lives—the wives, tails and beards. “These women are all over the map,” the Saturday Night Live alumna says. For Rachel Dratch’s interview, go to innewyork .com/editorsblog. | Tail! Spin!, Lynn Redgrave Theater at Culture Project, 45 Bleecker St., 866.811.4111

Wigging It TV stars are lining up to play this Broadway role. And no wonder: As the titular transgender glam rocker in Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Neil Patrick Harris won a 2014 Tony Award.

Texas Boy in the City

When Texas native Jay Armstrong Johnson was 15, he came to New York—”the center of the universe,” as he calls it—for the first time, and for him, just like Chip, the wide-eyed sailor on shore leave he’s playing in the Broadway revival of On the Town, it was a dream come true. (That’s Jay, holding a guidebook in Central Park, with co-stars Clyde Alves, left, and Tony Yazbeck, right). “I’d always dreamt of Times Square and seeing the lights of Broadway,” he recalls, “so that’s where I went first. It was evening, and the lights were extra spectacular. I had a week to see the sights, as opposed to Chip who only had a day. Though, by the end of the week, my feet were killing me!” | On the Town, Lyric Theatre, 213 W. 42nd St., 877.250.2929

Labor of Love

fascinating art displays by Terry Trucco

When Michelle Grabner began painting in the 1990s, her exacting depictions of domestic accoutrements like tablecloths and bed linens explored ideas about working in the home. Fast forward to the new show by the artist who rocked the art world as a curator of this year’s Whitney Biennial. Her current art is abstract, but work remains a potent theme. In mesmerizing, labor-intensive silverpoint etchings like “Untitled” (above, 2013), each stroke of the stylus probes the physicality of work. | James Cohan Gallery, 533 W. 26th St., 212.714.9500, Oct. 9 thru Nov. 8.

Car Talk The open road inspires Justine Kurland as a photographer and curator in two new shows. Known for utopia-meetsdystopia images of trains, and drifters, she switches gears in Sincere Auto Care, documenting the alliance between car culture and the American Dream in photos like “Rebuilt Engine” (above, 2013). As curator for the group show Days Inn, Kurland uses a motel to examine contradictions in everyday life. | Mitchell-Innes & Nash, 534 W. 26th St. and 1018 Madison Ave., 212.744.7400, thru Oct. 11.

Careful Crafting

Call it Japan’s Slow Art Movement. Behind the fantastical, art-history-enriched works of artists Manabu Ikeda, Hishashi Tenmyouya and teamLab in the show, Garden of Unearthly Delights, is the meticulous craftsmanship honed by generations of Japan’s takumi, or master artisans. “That kind of care is something that we often forget today when we rush to do everything quickly,” says Miwako Tezuka, Japan Society gallery director. So painstakingly rendered are Ikeda’s otherworldly drawings, like “Staircase of Waves” (left, 2010), they can take more than a year to complete. “He is obsessed with details and the fine lines accumulating on top of each other to create the landscape,” says Tezuka. A magnifying glass is provided for each visitor to the museum so that not a one is missed. | Japan Society, 333 E. 47th St., 212.832.1155, Oct. 10 thru Jan. 11, 2015

great dining experiences by Lois Levine

Brothers Brew It’s always exciting when the Nieporent brothers, restaurant whiz kids Drew and Tracy, put another one of their eateries on the TriBeCa map (which includes Nobu and Tribeca Grill). Their latest project: the Austrian-inflected Bâtard.

The room has been warmed up with rich wood flooring, subdued lighting and crystal chandeliers.

The menu, which offers two, threeand four-course prix fixe dinners, has provocative options like octopus “pastrami” and stellar bay oysters with fried pig’s tails. Looks

Haute and Happening

Looking for some good old-fashioned New York glamour to accompany your wild Burgundy escargot? Then look no further than Beautique, the dramatic-looking new restaurant blocks away from Central Park. Beautique’s innovative American cuisine is inspirational: chilled corn soup with basil yogurt; a salad of rabbit, fennel and shaved foie gras; and main courses including a yam with miso, lemongrass and buckwheat, and sea scallops with creamed corn, peas and chorizo dashi. A huge, sleek crystal chandelier is the centerpiece to a dining room filled with fresh flowers, white tablecloths and plush gray banquettes. See, be seen and drink in the posh scenery (both animate and inanimate) at Beautique. | Beautique, 8 W. 58th St., 212.753.1200 For more on dining, visit: innewyork.com/editorsblog

A former social club for thesbians (photos of past members, such as Charlie Chaplin and John Wayne, are framed along the walls), the Lambs Club, owned by famed restaurateur Geoffrey Zakarian (right), retains an other-era feel (enormous fireplace, Art Deco decor), but with a most decidedly contemporary aesthetic, and inhabited by a chic, stylish crowd. Superb lunch options include frog hollow peach and lobster salad, accented with red and yellow tomatoes, and Massachusetts diver scallops with blue-foot mushrooms. A fragrant light fennel cake comes with frozen Greek yogurt and berries, a refreshing finish to an elegant repast. | Lambs Club, Chatwal Hotel, 132 W. 44th St., 212.997.5262

Go Big, or Go …

Spy’s Perch You don’t need a spyglass to see the sights at yearround Spyglass Rooftop: As soon as you step off the elevator, the Empire State Building presents herself, towering over tipplers in a display of Art Deco splendor. The iconic structure dominates the skyline view, making The Empire State cocktail (Hendrick’s gin, St-Germain, ginger, basil) an apropos sip. | Spyglass Rooftop, Archer Hotel, 47 W. 38th St., 212.730.0538

There are many perks to being at Wallflower, a tiny West Village drinkery. Cocktails—such as Danza de los Viejitos (tequila, mezcal, Gran Classico bitters, Gutiérrez Colosia oloroso sherry)—crafted by Xavier Herit, formerly chief bartender at Daniel, are good enough to break anyone out of his shell. | Wallflower, 235 W. 12th St., no phone

Rays of rainbow lights bathe the entrance to new TriBeCa dance club HAUS, making it stand out even on busy W. Broadway. Inside the multitiered space, the lights don’t stop flashing: LED chandeliers overhead cycle through the color spectrum as crowds grind to international house beats. Banquettes in the back make for late-night bottle-service nooks, while those on the dance floor hit the tiger’s-eye bar top for sweet-leaning cocktails. | HAUS, 285 W. Broadway, 212.625.4287

New York does things big—we build big towers, throw big parties and have big rent bills. URBO, a new leisure complex in Times Square—with 26,000 square feet and two stories in one of the city’s most trafficked ‘hoods—is rolling with the theme.

You can hit up the two restaurants, retail spot and coffee vendor onsite, or just go straight to URBO Bar, where beer and cocktails—including Blues Time (bourbon, blueberry, thyme, lemon, sugar)—are served in a space that blends industrial and clubhouse aesthetics. | URBO Bar, 11 Times Sq., 2nd fl., 212.542.8950

Striking Gold

With more than 20 years spent helping celebrities like Kate Moss, Jennifer Lopez and Gwyneth Paltrow look their best, makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury has created a mantra for cosmetics: easy to choose, easy to use and always irresistible. Embodying that motto is her new makeup collection, debuting at Bergdorf Goodman on Oct. 7. The Charlotte Tilbury line offers the means to emulate the styles of 10 different women, such as the Uptown Girl (think: Kate Middleton), the Bombshell (Scarlett Johansson) and the Rebel (Lady Gaga). The sophisticated packaging rivals the quality of what’s inside—one swipe of the Full Fat Lashes 5-Star Mascara, along with a pat of the shimmery gold in the Luxury Eye Shadow Palette, and your eyes will twinkle like never before. Consider us starstruck. | Bergdorf Goodman, 754 Fifth Ave., 212.753.7300

Reading Material

• French literary culture is the raison d’être for the Payne Whitney mansion’s new bookstore.

In Focus

While SEE Eyewear has more than 30 stores across the United States, the company’s refreshing vision is clear: to create limited runs of just a few hundred frames in collaboration with top optical design talent. SEE, which stands for Selective Eyewear Elements, now brings its exclusive pieces to Brooklyn at its new Boerum Hill boutique. Working with designers who have experience at Chanel, Tom Ford and other top brands, the 16-year-old boutique chain develops highly stylized glasses with eye-popping details, such as unconventional textures (like fabric and metal), wood-grain frames, unexpected splashes of color and quirky shapes. All frames can hold prescription lenses, or be converted into sunglasses, and the shop stocks a ready-to-wear collection of reading glasses, as well.

Best of all, SEE works hard to keep its designer frames affordable at $99-$359 each. | SEE Eyewear, 160 Smith St., Boerum Hill, Brooklyn, 347.916.0011

Not only does the guitar mecca showcase more than 400 six-strings from brands like D’Angelico, Fender and Gibson, the lounge also contains everything guests need to feel like rock stars, such as a cutting-edge lighting rig, leather couches and a fully stocked bar made out of Marshall Half Stack amplifiers. Expert staff are on hand to assist with shoppers’ needs … or debate the merits of inductees to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. | GTR Store Showroom, 141 W. 28th St., 4th fl., 646.460.8472

Custom Kicks An Austin, Texas-based shoe company is doing more than creating colorful, folky sandals and boots for men and women—founders Sophie Eckrich and Travis Breihan say their venture, Teysha, connects communities and shares art. The duo partners with Latin American villages to commission Mayan textiles and Kuna molas (intricate fabrics) in an effort to preserve these dying arts. “Indigenous crafts represent something so ancient, so connected to the cosmos and to humanity, and they are a way of telling stories about nature and the universe. Each craft is a tradition that has been passed down for generations,” say the owners, who pay their ar-

tisans more than fair-trade wages.

Online shoppers at Teysha.is can customize their handmade boots with a selection of striking fabrics embroidered with stripes, birds, flowers and diamonds, while NYC visitors can pop over to People of 2Morrow for ready-made options, including smoking slippers in the same heritage style. The brand is designed for travelers, fashionistas and global art enthusiasts.

From the founders: “We want to empower everyone from the textile artisans, the shoemakers, the materials suppliers, our team, our customers and our partners to work together to create a more vibrant world.” | People of 2Morrow, 65 Franklin St., Greenpoint, Brooklyn, 718.383.4402

Special Delivery Fashionistas (and their male counterparts) have come to love Birchbox’s curated packages of beauty products, personal care items and other sample-size goodies delivered right to their doors since it launched in 2010. But now fans don’t have to wait for their monthly subscription, as the start-up recently opened a brick-and-mortar shop. Shoppers can customize their own Birchbox in store, choosing five of the latest grooming products and lifestyle accessories from brands such as Cynthia Rowley, Smashbox and Benefit. The bi-level shop also features a Try Bar, full of tester products and tutorials that teach how to achieve certain looks. For those less interested in do-it-yourself, the downstairs salon offers hair, nail and makeup services. The SoHo store is a win for both newbies, looking to see what the fuss is all about, and subscribers, wishing to earn more of those precious Birchbox points. | Birchbox, 433 W.

Guerlain Spa, located in the Waldorf Astoria New York, prides itself on products and services based on nature’s bounty: Skincare products are made with rare orchids or royal jelly concentrate from Guerlain’s signature bees (guests receiving this treatment get a taste of the bee’s honey beforehand). Along with a variety of facials that employ these elements, the luxe spa, dressed with chandeliers, fresh roses and peach-colored drapes, also offers micro-current treatments, masks, massages, heated body therapy services, as well as yummy-sounding hand and foot treatments like the haute honey manicure and pedicure. Now that’s what I call sweet service. | Guerlain Spa , 100 E. 50th St., 212.872.7200

Charcoal Sparkle The Ling Spa in Union Square is a delightful contrast to its environs. Outside, the bustling area is jam-packed with office workers, shoppers and delivery trucks. Inside, a more peaceful haven could not be found than this minimalist but warm, Asian-inspired spa. The spa’s energy lift facial is a treat indeed, a service that includes heat therapy and a triple peel. The charcoal facial, designed to detox the skin from impurities, uses charcoal as a powerful exfoliant, removing virtually all dead skin cells.

As science and technology continue to advance at breakneck speed, so has art: Forging partnerships with biologists, geneticists, archaeologists and others, artists are expressing their vision in a whole new realm. By Heather Corcoran

For centuries, the tools of the artist’s studio have remained relatively the same: paint, brushes, pencils, canvas. Today, artists are working with something entirely new: the latest in bioscience, imaging technologies, environmental studies and more. Science has become yet another avenue for creativity within the arts. As technology continues to rapidly develop in all fields—biology and beyond—artists are finding new ways to incorporate it into their works.

One new approach to the marriage of art and science is called BioArt, and this new wave has artists slipping on lab coats and splicing DNA, cloning plants, painting with bioluminescent bacteria and exploring the visual language of some of today’s most cutting-edge technologies. Along the way, these artists are changing the way we view today’s hot-button topics, from genetic engineering to stem cells.

“No one gets invited to have a glass of wine and discuss issues in a scientific laboratory,” says Suzanne Anker, a pioneering BioArtist and the founder of the BioArt Lab (335 W. 16th St., 3rd fl., 212.592.2510) at the School of Visual Arts, the first of its kind at a university fine arts department in the United States. “In an art exhibition, the conversation can range from what does this mean, to what does this look like, to how does this affect me, to any number of other questions. It’s a great place to banter around any of these ideas that these artworks point to.”

In the BioArt Lab, students work alongside scientists in an interdisciplinary dialogue, as well as with artists like Anker and instructor Brandon Ballengée, who creates visually stunning works that act as statements of environmental activism, like his scans of transparent “cleared

and stained” deformed frogs. The students’ work is currently on view in the exhibition Where Is the Art in BioArt? at the School of Visual Art’s Flatiron Gallery (133/141 W. 21st St., 212.592.2145), which runs thru Oct. 18. Among the artists in the show is Shane Boddinger, who, in an effort to recreate one of his earliest memories—an acutal dream of eating a juicy orange— has been working with visiting scientist Sebastian Cocioba to genetically modify tobacco plants so that they smell like oranges. In the lab, it could be hard to imagine the finished project amid the tiny plastic tubes of genetic material, petri dishes of sprouted plants and notebooks full of research and findings, but the team keeps experimenting. “The nice part about working with art students is they’re into the risky projects because they don’t consider

it risky—that is their project,” says Cocioba.

Another lab where people from all walks of life can experiment is Genspace (33 Flatbush Ave., 7th fl., Greenpoint, Brooklyn, 347.470.1265), the city’s first community biotechnology laboratory, which was opened in 2010 by a group of artists, scientists and a science writer.

project (check the Genspace website for date and time: genspace.org). Inspired by the DNA revolution in criminal justice in the 1990s, Vanouse uses gel electrophoresis technology—a method of separating lengths of DNA by electric charge—to cut and paste segments of his own DNA to recreate the evidence from the O.J. Simpson case.

The samples he makes match the blurry black and gray bars often referred to as Simpson’s “DNA Fingerprint,”

pendently on projects and share their findings and questions on the Internet, Genspace offers members access to a Biosafety Level 1 (a distinction that means none of the materials are known to be harmful to humans or the environment) lab facility, as well as a program of lectures, courses and biotech boot camps that are open to the community. In these classes, students can learn seemingly sci-fi skills like how to extract and analyze their own DNA and how to genetically reprogram bacteria using coral and jellyfish DNA to make them glow, while special guest lecturers also offer lectures on topics like the RoboRoach cyborg and molecular gastronomy.

This fall, Genspace’s residency program hosts groundbreaking BioArtist Paul Vanouse, who will give a workshop about his ongoing Suspect Inversion Center (SIC)

thus casting doubt on its authority—much like artists had pushed the limits of photography as an authoritative medium of representation a century beforehand. “In wanting to talk about biotechnology and culture, the obvious medium to use to do that is biotechnology itself—to use itself reflexively is a way that we can see it represent something,” Vanouse says of the emerging field.

Not all art dealing with science requires an academic background to understand, however. After all, artists have been exploring the human body and our relationship to nature for thousands of years. Take, for example, anatomical studies, like the drawing of a leg from the 16th century from the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (1000 Fifth Ave., 212.535.7710), or Slovakian artist Tomáš Gabzdil Libertíny’s honeycomb vase IN New YORK | october 2014 | innewyork.com

Perhaps the city’s best place to observe the artistry of the living world isn’t even an art museum, it’s the collection of animal and mineral specimens at the American Museum of Natural History (Central Park West, at W. 79th St., 212.769.5100). After exploring the animal kingdom on the macro level, museum visitors can take a look through the microscopic with the exhibition Picturing Science: Museum Scientists and Imaging Technologies, which runs thru Jan. 4, 2015.

The exhibition Science Inspires Art: The BRAIN, which opens Oct. 11 and runs thru Mar. 29, 2015, at the New York Hall of Science (47-01 111th St., Corona, Queens, 718.699.0005), explores a different type of scientific imaging: the way artists are reacting to new discoveries in neuroscience and our increasing understanding of the human brain. In keeping with the interdisciplinary spirit of BioArt, the juried exhibition was curated by both an artist and a scientist.

One space dedicated to creating these kinds of dia-

28

lit by two stories of windows, hosts exhibitions, while the second and third floors are dedicated to photo labs, classrooms, artists’ studios and a science lab. Such close quarters spark conversations. “A biologist excitingly beckons a musician to the microscope, a painter shares her sketches with a geneticist and together they discover a new algorithm for printmaking,” Yellin has written. “It is a nursery for innovation, an alpine highway to the horizon of the imagination.”

Currently, the Pioneer Works gallery features The Oldest Living Things in the World, an exhibition of photographs by Guggenheim Fellow Rachel Sussman that runs thru Nov. 2. Working in the field, Sussman collaborates with biologists to photograph and catalog living species older than 2,000 years—shedding light on biodiversity and on our comprehension of time in the process. Another recent resident, cyborg activist Neil Harbisson, who has spent the past decade working with cybernetics experts to develop a Bluetooth-enabled antenna and chip, the latest version of which, now implanted in his skull, allows the color-blind artist to “hear” colors by interpreting them as sound frequencies.

While the distinction between art, science and technol-

ogy is still being defined and debated, it’s proven ripe for exploration for today’s artists. “It’s a medium, just like any other medium,” says artist and Genspace co-founder Nurit Bar-Shai, whose own work utilizes bacteria colonies and sound waves. “People like to compartmentalize.

If you’re doing video art, you’re a video artist. If you’re doing biology, they’ll call it BioArt. If you do performance, they’ll call it performance art. For me, it’s not that important. It’s more about what you do and how your medium serves the things that you want to say.”

Did you know that a 150-pound person on Earth weighs just 25 pounds on the moon? There’s no doubt that gravity keeps us weighted down, impacting our ability to look and feel our best. But this year, wellness goes Space Age, with weightless—not weightloss—activities dominating NYC spas and workout spaces. Antigravity experiences, such as flotation chambers and trapeze classes, help health seekers float and fly their way to superb physical and mental health. Through boundarypushing exercises and restorative spa treatments, we can ease the weight on our shoulders, look and feel better than ever before and maybe even shed a few pounds along the way.

Float Away

carries on the legacy of the Greeks, Romans and Ottomans with water-induced relaxation. The dramatically lit TriBeCa space with rustic brick walls specializes in a 90-minute thermal bath treatment, offered in several chambers, including hot-, warm- and cold-water pools, a 102-degree aromatherapy steam room, propeller jet water streams and a saltwater bath with a density equivalent to that of the Dead Sea. Just as members of Rome’s upper class did in the fifth century B.C., guests at Aire rotate between the luxe tubs several times for a buoyant experience that induces peace of mind and other restorative benefits.

Floating through water can also be a salutary escape from busy life and travel. La Casa Day Spa (41 E. 20th St., 212.673.2272) invites those in need of such respite to 60-minute sessions in its flotation chamber. Guests experience a pleasant melting sensation as they float atop skin-temperature salt water, which minimizes sensory distractions to induce total relaxation. Could better health really just be a float away? La Casa touts a list of health benefits from the weightless treatment, including rejuvenating effects on the brain equivalent to five hours of sleep and detoxification of the body akin to a three-day fast.

Anyone who’s gone diving or snorkeling can attest to the healing properties of water. The buoyancy gives a rare opportunity to feel completely weightless, totally relaxed as you float through the sea.

Guests can splash their way to better health at a number of NYC facilities, such as Spa Castle (131-10 11th Ave., College Point, Queens, 718.939.6300).

Visitors can take an aerial yoga class or flying fitness lesson with Christopher Harrison, the producer of more than 400 entertainment productions, at his AntiGravity Lab (265 W. 37th St., Ste. 1100, 212.279.0790), where each yoga session

weights” the body by using “advanced differential airpressure technology to generate a powerful lifting force.”

Users step onto the treadmill and zip into an airtight chamber, which is then pressurized and custom-calibrated by body weight to enable injured, overweight or aging athletes to jog without pain. Athletes say the sensation is akin to running on a cloud and a number of local physical therapists and health centers, such as Paspa Physical Therapy (131 W. 35th St., 12th fl., 212.967.5337), Finish Line Physical Therapy (119 W. 23rd St., Ste. 304, 212.486.8573) and Complete Wellness (30 E. 60th St., Ste. 302, 917.580.6344), are offering sessions on the AlterG to both current patients in rehabilitation programs and anyone else interested in trying it.

Equipment that reduces gravity can also improve sleep patterns and rejuvenate the body. Catch up to 40 minutes of shut-eye in the sleep therapy system at Yelo Spa (5 E. 57th St., 12th fl., 212.245.8235). Guests rest in an antigravity chair that keeps the legs elevated above the heart during the session, which results in a weightless sensation. The YeloCab nap also features customized

By eliminating gravity, not only can you heal your body from the inside out, you can also reduce the toll it takes on skin over the years. The microcurrent facial (previously called the antigravity face-lift facial) at Ling Spa (12 E. 16th St., 212.989.8833; 105 W. 77th St., 212.877.2883) places two metal rods on the skin to tighten and lift using the power of microcurrents.

Similarly, one of the most popular services at The Secret Garden Spa (702 Forest Ave., Staten Island, 718.815.5900) is the antigravity face-lift. The 60-minute treatment is intended to improve the appearance of sagging skin and dull complexions using electrical stimulation technology.

Once upon a time, only astronauts braved an environment in which gravity no longer held people back.

But with improved science and technology that eliminate this natural force, can ordinary people now float and fly their way to better health? This is New York—anything is possible.

brooklyn beat In and Around greenpoint by You might know Greenpoint as the backdrop for Lena Dunham’s Girls, but that is only a tiny facet of this riverfront neighborhood’s identity. Just a few blocks north of über-trendy Williamsburg, Greenpoint is a terrific combination of old and new—the area’s historically Polish roots are evident in diners that serve some of the best pierogi and kielbasas in the city alongside the sleek, modern restaurants and stylish boutiques that cater to the hipsters who characterize “new Brooklyn.” If you are already planning a visit to Williamsburg, you’ll appreciate a jaunt into this laidback haven on the other side of McCarren Park, although Greenpoint is itself a destination that fully warrants a dedicated trip on its own.

Retail Therapy, Greenpoint-Style

Shoppers who dig an indie vibe will find plenty to peruse in this ’hood. One of my favorites is Old Hollywood (99 Franklin St., 718.389.0837), which has a collection of funky jewelry, Pendleton blankets and vintage-style clothes. I spent a recent Saturday trying on necklaces by local designers at The One Well (165 Greenpoint Ave., 347.889.6792), a great stop for a unique souvenir.

Wolves Within (174 Franklin St., 347.889.5798) carries high-end “Brooklyn chic,” like wooden Swedish Hasbeens clogs and shibori-dyed scarves; and Alter (140 Franklin St., 718.349.0203) is the perfect place to find an inexpensive pair of cool sunglasses. Finally, Word (126 Franklin St., 718.383.0096) is one of those bookstores where you can always get a recommendation for the perfect read.
