Nouveau Cirque In the postmodern circus world of Montreal’s Les 7 Doigts de la Main, there are no lions, elephants, tigers or clowns in baggy pants. A big top? No. Glitz and glam? Hardly. This is circus stripped and refined to its essence. Performers wear workout gear, not sequins and feathers. And what a workout they get. Multitasking artists, like Maxim Laurin and Alexandra Royer in Séquence 8 (below), the company’s latest offering, are as adept as dancers as they are as acrobats and masters of the aerial hoop. | Séquence 8 by Les 7 Doigts de la Main, New York City Center, 131 W. 55th St., 212.581.1212, Apr. 16-26

Art Bazaar Today’s emerging and midcareer artists can be tomorrow’s superstars, and that’s a fact enthusiastically endorsed by the tens of thousands of art lovers, connoisseurs, collectors and galleries who flock annually to the Hudson River shoreline for Artexpo New York (above). There are thousands of original contemporary works from around the world—paintings, drawings, prints, lithographs, sculptures, ceramics, photographs, art glass and more—on display and up for sale. Past exhibitors at the show, which has been a fine-art fixture on New York’s spring calender for 35-plus years, have included such major American players as Robert Indiana, Peter Max, Keith Haring, LeRoy Neiman, Robert Rauschenberg and Andy Warhol. | Artexpo New York, Pier 94, 711 12th Ave., artexponewyork.com, Apr. 23-26

Individually, Herbie Hancock (right) and Chick Corea are known— revered might be a better word—as virtuosos on the electric keyboard.

Together, in 1978, the jazz innovators and longtime friends defied expectations, went old school and successfully toured the world as an acoustic piano duo. It’s taken 37 years for history to repeat itself, but their grand pianos are once again side by side on stages from Sydney and Seoul to Lisbon and New York. | Carnegie Hall, W. 57th St., at Seventh Ave., 212.247.7800, Apr. 9

THEATER NEWS by Francis Lewis

Role of a Lifetime

Broadway Bounce

Moviegoers know Lesley Manville from director Mike Leigh’s films, such as Mr. Turner. Last summer, she flew as Flittle, a pixie, in Disney’s live action Maleficent. But there’s nothing pixieish about the English actress’ Helene Alving in Ibsen’s Ghosts (right), the role that won her the 2014 Olivier Award for Best Actress and now brings her to the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM).

“Ibsen was so amazingly ahead of his time in the way he wrote for women,” Manville has said.

Consider her character: the wife, then widow of a cruel debauchee. When her son, Oswald, was young, she sent him away, to shield him from her husband’s influence. But the sins of the father are visited upon the son: Oswald has hereditary syphilis. Dying, he begs his mother to put him out of his misery. Will she do it? | Ghosts, BAM Harvey Theater, 651 Fulton St., Brooklyn, 718.636.4100, Apr. 5-May 3

Sometimes the simplest thing can lead an actor to his character. For 26-year-old Matthew Beard (below), shoes help transform him into 18-year-old Edward Sergeant in the Broadway revival of David Hare’s Skylight. Edward’s mother has just died and his father is behaving irrationally. Confused, he goes to see his father’s former mistress, asking questions and wearing “these great trainers,” the Yorkshireman

“I love that Doctor Zhivago is not a tidy kind of story: He’s married, she’s married, they have an affair. When people leave the theater, it gets them talking: ‘Of course, they had to be together.’ ‘No, he should never have left his wife.’

I love the idea that art can do that.”—Kelli Barrett (left) on playing Lara to Tam Mutu’s Yuri in the new Broadway musical Doctor Zhivago. Broadway Theatre, 1681 Broadway, 212.239.6200

says, using the English word for sneakers. “These ridiculous, huge and bouncy ‘90s Nikes changed the character for me. They put this spring in Edward’s step, making him seem very young.” Beard has lots more to reveal at innewyork.com/ editorsblog—like why he loves New York and co-star Carey Mulligan’s Bolognese. | Skylight, John

Golden Theatre, 252 W. 45th St., 212.239.6200

Double Duty

To bring An American in Paris, the Oscar-winning Best Picture of 1951, to the Broadway stage (left), Christopher Wheeldon, late of the Royal Ballet and a former soloist with New York City Ballet, wears two hats: He’s the show’s director and its choreographer. So, do the two Christophers get along? “Actually, I work well with myself … chuckle,” he says, “although I do have to look at the show objectively and be tough on myself as a choreographer. I always try to make things dance. The challenge has been balancing the storytelling in a way that allows the book scenes, songs and dances to work together as almost equal partners. You cannot get lost in your own pursuit for inventive movement.” What inventive moves did Wheeldon make the first time he came to NYC?

GREAT DINING EXPERIENCES by Lois Levine

“We consider ourselves Ameri-bean,” the friendly waiter informed me when I sat down at BTH, the Harlem eatery that sits next to Riverside Drive (with the Hudson River across the way). The restaurant, offers high-top and low-top tables, clubby lighting, a horseshoe-shaped bar and a loud, Latin-inflected playlist for the young, late-night crowd. The menu is a wild interpretation of “Ameri-bean.”

Sliders with tantalizing sauces and cheeses, salmon with wild rice and pineapple (below), and satiny scallops sided with sweet polenta cakes are some of the offerings. | By the Hudson Restaurant & Lounge, 712 W. 125th St., 212.222.2841

Artful Dining Exquisite vases of flowers, neutral colors, soft music and plush leather seats create a serene, elegant environment for Chef Shaun Hergatt’s food-as-art menu at Juni. Attention to detail in this restaurant is obvious. The moment I placed my handbag down, a black velvet footstool was whisked to my side so that I did not have to leave it on the floor. Water glasses were continually replenished, almost invisibly, as were crusty rolls, but the most impressive details were in the dishes: A recent midday meal consisted of aromatic, beautifully presented plates, such as a Montauk scallop, almond and garden radish (above), and black bass, sided with tapioca and Ibérico ham. For dinner, try veal tenderloin with white quinoa or perhaps squab with hibiscus and salsify.

Lunch comes priced for two or three courses, dinner as four or six courses, and both meals offer tasting menus. Juni is a place not soon forgotten. | Juni, 12 E. 31st St., 212.995.8599,

Adventures in Dining If you are looking for a dining experience that is both eclectic and daring, then go no further than Chalk Point Kitchen. The restaurant mixes farm motif (gingham napkins, barn-woodplanked ceiling) with antique-shop chandeliers to create a comfortable, cheery room. Join the locals who pack the place each night for such eye-openers as grilled watermelon with feta cheese, a meaty squid and char tartare, and a branzino that rings Asian with a sweet brown sauce. You can toast to your health with a kale-infused martini and housemade pickles (no bread basket to slow you down), and, for dessert, cleanse your palate with a banana split or butterscotch pudding topped with popcorn. | Chalk Point Kitchen, 527 Broome St., 212.390.0327

Timeless Digs Just like the little black dress or the crisp white cotton button-down, certain restaurant environments never go out of style, and instantly say class, all the way. Such is the case at Dovetail (right), where low lighting, brick walls and white tablecloths create that elegant and relaxed dining ambience. Your food options here are similarly simple and substantive: a rotating chef’s tasting meu (a recent lineup included three-cheese ravioli with truffles, and seared foie gras with graham crackers and huckleberries), a vegetable tasting menu, or à la carte choices that include cured carrots with field garlic and basil (above), venison with black trumpet mushrooms, and Berkshire pork with white sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts. Well done, all around. | Dovetail, 103 W. 77th St., 212.362.3800

You think beer is not an elegant drink?

Try an Orange Blossom Light or a Lavender Saison at Flatiron Hall (below).

Pair one of those with the warm deviled eggs for one high-class snack. | Flatiron Hall, 38 W. 26th St., 646.790.3200

A Star Is Born Not yet open a year, the Hunt & Fish Club is one of those restaurants that have made an instant impact. Walk through the small, jam-packed bar to a striking dining room, where you can’t help but be wowed by a mirrored ceiling dangling dozens of small lights and black- andwhite marble floors. Go with surf or turf, and you won’t be disappointed. Of particular note: a starter seafood salad, lemony and scrumptious, and a dry-aged porterhouse (above) worthy of a Tony Award. | Hunt & Fish Club, 125 W. 44th St., 212.575.4949

THE AFTER-DARK SCENE by Robert Haynes-Peterson

Parlor Tricks Unlike Las Vegas spectacles, where bigger is always better, the intimate setting for the weekly shows of magician Steve Cohen (below)—a private suite inside The Waldorf Towers—puts you up close and personal with his sleight-of-hand effects and interactive mentalism. Cohen has entertained the likes of Woody Allen and Warren Buffett here for over a decade. Jackets and ties for gents. | Chamber Magic, The Waldorf Towers, 100 E. 50th St., 866.811.4111

If your image of hotel lobby bars is small spaces and inadequate lighting, check out The Lobby Lounge (above) on the 35th floor of the Mandarin Oriental New York, bright and modern thanks to floor-to-ceiling views of Central Park and Columbus Circle.

For a more intimate affair, head to MObar, inspired by Art Deco-themed NYC apartments. Kimono-clad staff escort you to an ornate booth or the tooled nickel-and-silver bar. Try the signature Gratification cocktail (Krug Grande Cuvée Champagne, Delamain Vesper Cognac, Grand Marnier Centenaire, yuzu, agave nectar). | Lobby Lounge/MO bar 80 Columbus Circle, 212.805.8800

The Bubbly Life

Whether pairing it with dinner, or blending it into cocktails, Champagne is not just reserved for special occasions. At Flûte Bar & Lounge (three locations: Midtown, East Side and Gramercy Park, above), sparkling wine is a way of life. These sophisticated spots offer flights and more than 100 sparkling options along with appetizers, wine, beer and cocktails. Enjoy live jazz each Wednesday night, and “Hot Gypsy Jazz” on Fridays at the Gramercy Park locale. | Flûte Bar & Lounge, 40 E. 20th St., 212.529.7870

FASCINATING ART DISPLAYS by Terry Trucco

Suited Up Recently, Dutch sculptor Folkert de Jong looked to Henry VIII’s personal armor at England’s Royal Armouries for inspiration. Choosing pieces tracking the king from cocky youth to portly stoic, de Jong translated 3-D scans into lifesize bronzes. In The Holy Land, de Jong groups Henry-infused sculptures, like “From Stately Throne” (below, 2014), with casts of contemporary firearms and mixed-media figures trapped in Plexiglas vitrines. | James Cohan Gallery, 533 W. 26 St., 212.714.9500, thru Apr. 25

Up Close and Personal

It was not painter Alice Neel’s (1900-1984) initial intent to share her drawings with the public. They were simply too personal. But drawing played an essential role in Neel’s storied five-decade career, fostering experimentation, informality and immediacy in her art. As for the friends, family and fellow New Yorkers she captured, you feel you know them— and their complex emotions —in “Hartley and Ginny” (above, 1970) and other renderings. A raging lover destroyed much of Neel’s early work, but Alice Neel Drawings and Watercolors 1927-1978 all but bursts with perceptive, under-the-skin portrayals. | David Zwirner, 537 W. 20th St., 212.727.2070, thru Apr. 18

Curtain Up

Mainstream culture embraces performance art by a Laurie Anderson or a Marina Abramovic`. But what about selftaught artists like Bill Anhang? A former Montreal engineer, Anhang dresses up in wearable light shows he fashions from cast aluminum armor outfitted with light-emitting diodes, electrical wiring and microprocessors (far left, 1987).

In When the Curtain Never Comes Down, watch Anhang and 26 others as their rituals spring to life through videos, photographs and costumes like Deborah Berger’s knitted “Mask” (left, circa 1984). | American Folk Art Museum, 2 Lincoln Square, 212.595.9533, thru Jul. 5

The

Lizzie Chronicles Mad Men star Elisabeth Moss delights Broadway audiences in the first revival of The Heidi Chronicles. BY TINA DONVITO

AS PEGGY OLSON, a female advertising copywriter trying to break the glass ceiling on the 1960s-set AMC series Mad Men, Elisabeth Moss has captured audiences with her combination of moxie and naiveté. This month at the Music Box Theatre, she takes the lead role in the late Wendy Wasserstein’s Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning play The Heidi Chronicles, which fol-

14

lows the title character from the 1960s to the 1980s as she searches for love, fulfillment and gender equality.

Although she now calls New York home, Moss, known as Lizzie to her friends, was born in Los Angeles to musician parents. Her first love was dancing, but she quickly moved to acting, scoring roles on Picket Fences and then much-lauded The West Wing while still

a teen. Her role on Mad Men has garnered her both Emmy and Golden Globe nominations over the course of the show’s seven seasons.

Previously appearing on Broadway in a revival of David Mamet’s Speedthe-Plow, the in-demand actress also has no less than four movies in the can, including Truth with Robert Redford and Cate Blanchett.

What are your favorite New York restaurants, shops and neighborhoods?

I’ve been going to Cafe Fiorello, right across from Lincoln Center, for 20 years. I lived in the East Village for 12 years, and my favorite restaurant downtown is Gemma at the Bowery HoteI. It’s impossible to even know where to begin with the shopping, but I seem to have to live within a few blocks of a Where do you see yourself going next? Rag & Bone store!

started a film right after we wrapped the show, which enabled me to under understand there were other things to do. It wasn’t my grand plan to come to Broadway, but you can’t pass it up when someone offers you The Heidi Chronicles! Theater always strengthens you as an actor because it’s very disciplined and quite the marathon.

How does it feel to be taking the lead role in The Heidi Chronicles? It’s thrilling and scary! Wendy Wasserstein is such a presence in New York theater, so I feel honored to be taking on this play.

When I see the poster with my name, I still can’t wrap my head around it.

You first came to New York as a child to study ballet. It was a magical experience. My first summer was at Joffrey Ballet School when I was 11, and then I did two summers at The School of American Ballet. It started my love affair with New York.

across Central Park past the skating rink. It was twilight, the lights were coming on in the buildings and people were out walking even though it was a little cold. It was so beautiful. I wasn’t doing anything special but it was just such a New York moment for me. That happens so often here—you don’t need a special occasion to have a really special moment in New York.

The New York Look, 30 Lincoln Plaza) • BLACK music festival fashion gets a chic update with bold EMPROIDERED TULLE floral prints, funky fringe accents and suede in every CROP-TOP DRESS, color of the rainbow. $468, by Tadashi Shoji SHOP THE TREND: Designer Lisa Perry, queen of (tadashishoji.com) contemporary “mod” style, designs sleeveless swing dresses, futuristic jackets with transparent plastic layers and oversize red maxi dresses with stripes for her Upper East Side boutique (988 Madison Ave.).

Shoppers can venture to the NYC outpost of French fashion house Chloé (850 Madison Ave.) for gauzy floor-length dresses that pair perfectly with the brand’s knee-high gladiator sandals and round sunglasses. LIE SANGBONG’s new boutique (30 Gansevoort St.) goes psychedelic with hippy butterfly prints on flowing gowns. The ’70s revival trend seems tailor-made for Valentino (693 Fifth Ave.), as the fashion house plays with paisley prints on collared dresses and clutches, along with feminine floral cutouts on skirts. And fringe is in focus at Proenza Schouler (822 Madison Ave.), with skirts that set style in motion with swinging strands of black, white and gray.

2. G.I. JANE: Designers salute the armed forces this spring.

But leave the camo to the soldiers—this style focuses on sophisticated solids of olive, navy and khaki. Utilitarian cuts get dressy upgrades, like trench coats with brass buttons, boxy dresses cinched at the waist with thick buckle belts, and uniform-style skirts with oversize pockets. Even fatigue pants are elevated when worn with crisp shirting and statement heels. Not ready to fully enlist? Toy with the trend by adding a patch to your favorite denim jacket.

SHOP THE TREND: Marc Jacobs commandeers the army trend with sheeny green skirts, button-down shirts and cargo pockets galore at the SoHo boutique (163 Mercer St.). Swedish brand Acne Studios (33 Greene St.) deploys lengthy officer overcoats and high-waisted sailor shorts in its collection.

Ralph Lauren (888 Madison Ave.) amps up military-style coats, vests and fitted trousers with pops of magenta, fuchsia, lemon and tangerine. Gucci (840 Madison Ave.) debuts two-tone denim dresses with long sleeves, arrowshaped belt loops and round buttons that look more high-powered general than troop in the field.

3. SHEER JOY: Fashionistas show some skin as the weather warms up, embracing edgy fabrics that rebel against lace’s traditionally sweet reputation. Body-wrapping garments showcase complicated laser-cut textiles, rather than old-fashioned, doily-style lace. Futuristic mesh windowpanes on structured shirts and miniskirts continue to up the sex appeal. Stick to monochrome black and white outfits for a no-fuss look that lets the beauty of the fabrics come through.

GLADIATOR SANDALS Roam like an ancient Roman oman in strappy leather sandals that can be dressed up or down. Step tep into sandals that buckle at the ankle for a casual style fit for shopping or strolling, or lace up kicks that tie just beneath the knee for a luxe look that transitions from day to night when paired with a gauzy spring maxi dress.

ROUND BAGS Circular shapes make a chic statement this spring, and it starts with the handbag. Whether you prefer a cross-body or a clutch, high-end designers have crafted smooth orbs and flat discs that work for anyone. Eye-catching color palettes, a range of fabrics and surreal accents (brass giraffe, anyone?) keep this trend cool. Say bye-bye to box bags.

SHOP THE TREND: Balenciaga (148 Mercer St.) experiments with sporty, diamond-netted dresses and trench coats. Lace takes on geometric, architectural shapes in Erdem’s collection (sold at Bergdorf Goodman, 754 Fifth Ave.). Kardashian-favorite Balmain (sold at Barneys New York, 2151 Broadway) crafts bodyhugging dresses that reveal skin through cutout strips. And Swiss label Akris (835 Madison Ave.) defines this look with contrasting solid and sheer shapes that create mesmerizing silhouettes.

4. SIMPLY ZEN: It may be minimalist, but spring’s stark white fashion is anything but boring. Grecian togas, belted kimonos and versatile linen trouser-and-blouse sets offer an elegant contrast to the more intense elements of other trends. Look for billowing, belted dresses, accents of knots and ties, and the perfect pale shade (snow, ivory, cream) to highlight your natural skin tone. This is a trend that begs for bold accessories, so layer on necklaces, bangles and stacking rings without restraint.

SHOP THE TREND: Linen dresses and two-piece cream sets with black statement belts from Marni (161 Mercer St.) turn the dojo into the catwalk. The Row (sold at Barneys New York) contemplates cream in a set of simple garments that wrap, tie and twist.

Stella McCartney (112 Greene St.) effortlessly incorporates big buckles and ribbing into drapey dresses and skirt sets. Master of neutrals Eileen Fisher (166 Fifth Ave.) chooses white for soft tunics and buttoned blouses.

Fashion for Him New collections from Billy Reid and Reiss exemplify what color expert Pantone describes as the “En Plein Air” palette for spring 2015. Guys should look for airy blues, forest greens, soft grays and even lavender as they shop. While color gets a boost, tailoring nods to loungewear; and it’s perfectly appropriate to pair crisp-cut jackets and blazers with relaxed denim, cuffed at the ankle. Finally, avant-garde floral prints for guys echo classic feminine styles as fashion continues to break down traditional gender barriers.

SPAS ON THE CUTTING

In this city, we become obsessed about what‘s hot in dining, fashion—and even spa treatments. Here’s the latest buzz on the trendiest ways to relax and beautify. By Troy Segal

W

hile they may seem like islands of calm and tranquillity, day spas are affected by the winds of changing times, therapies and client tastes. Here are some trends in treatments that have evolved from novelty to near-ubiquity among New York’s leading beauty and wellness providers.

ON LAND OR SEA

Spas have been heading back to nature as of late, with elements from the earth and ocean playing a key role in treatments. When you opt for a sand quartz bed massage at Spa Nalai (Park Hyatt New York, 153 W. 57th St., 646.774.1210), you may be in a room 25 stories above Midtown, but you feel transported to the beach of a Greek island. The warmed sand molds to your body, thinly covered by a sheet, so limbs never become stiff, and the therapeutic aspect of the heat the sand distributes makes muscles more malleable during the massage.

A poultice of sandy pebbles, periodically pressed on tight areas, acts as an extension of the therapist’s hands.

Perhaps you prefer a sense of floating on the sea? A warmed water mat plays a key role in the Advanced Marine Biology Facial offered within the old-world elegance of the La Prairie Spa (The Ritz-Carlton, 50 Central Park So., 212.521.6135).

While the mat gently cradles you, the aesthetician treats your face with a succession of serums and masks derived from micro-algae—rich in antioxidants—and other oceanic ingredients, such as seaweed (good for maintaining skin’s elasticity).

The arms and legs get massaged, too, with other marine-rich tonics and hot sea stones.

While the benefits of salt water (and things that grow in it) are well-known, increasing numbers of folk are swearing by the benefits of dry salt, or halotherapy: Breathing it in reputedly alleviates asthma, allergies and wet coughs (virus and bacteria, which thrive on moisture, hate its dehydrating effect); applying it to epidermis can improve conditions like ec-

zema and psoriasis. Halotherapy center Breathe Easy, located within the Oasis Day Spa (1 Park Ave., 212.254.7722), offers a chamber that resembles a beachy den. Leather recliner chairs sit on a floor covered with large Himalayan salt crystals; the walls glow with salmon-colored salt bricks and lamps made of salt rocks. A vaporizer gradually fills the air with micro-particles of salt, undetectable as they drift into lungs and onto the skin. In the course of a typical one-hour session, you can read, chat, listen to music—or have one of Oasis’ hour-long Swedish or deep tissue massages in a private alcove.

OUT OF THE EAST

The use of natural things—especially gritty things—is typical of traditional therapies from Asia and the Middle East. So another spa innovation is the embrace of ancient practices from these lands. In the last few years, for example, the number of spas and fitness centers offering a hammam (aka Turkish bath) experience, “a deep-cleansing ritual of heat, scrubbing and soaping, has only gained steam,” puns the 2015 Spa & Wellness Trends Forecast issued by Spafinder Wellness, a media and marketing company for the spa industry.

Making such services its signature is the Spa at Trump (Trump SoHo New York, 246 Spring St., 212.842.5505), which immediately creates an Arabic ambience with its courtyardlike entryway, with Assyrian-style, shell-lined vaulted ceilings and gold marble fountain. Within its domed, mosaic-tiled treatment rooms, guests can opt for a service like the Moroccan Hammam: lying on a heated marble stone while the entire body is washed and exfoliated with a black olive soap and then covered with Ghassoul clay, which alleviates oiliness and tightens pores. Both products, along with the stone, are authentic to Morocco, Spa Director Nadine Shelf emphasizes.

The Spa at Mandarin Oriental’s Clearing Factor Journeys treatment (80 Columbus Circle, 212.805 8880) takes guests’ torsos on a tour of cradle-of-civilization therapies. The leisure-

Below: The Breathe Easy Center at the Oasis Day Spa allows visitors to do just that. Right: Men’s grooming and wellness services are becoming more popular at spas everywhere.

INNER WELLNESS

Healing is another theme on state-of-the-art spa menus. “Everything is about wellness in therapies today,” says Allan Share, president of the Day Spa Association, an industry trade group. “People don’t just want pampering—not that there’s anything wrong with that—but treatments that will make them feel better,” and provide systemic benefits as well.

The Marilyn Monroe Spa (135 W. 45th St., 646.640.3830), for example, offers a facial that consists completely of massaging the 43 muscles in the face and around the collarbones with specialized techniques that encourage deep drainage of the lymphatic system and increased blood circulation—and, as a bonus, a glowing complexion (which lasts for days). Encouraging the elimination of fluids and other toxins is also the aim of the deep detox therapy recently introduced by Exhale (150 Central Park So., 212 561.7400). Ten EKG machinelike pads are placed around the stomach, thighs and backside; electric

24

current is then applied at gradually increasing intensity (a somewhat pins-and-needles sensation). In addition to detoxifying, the stimulation can lead to a more toned shape, by causing the underlying muscles to contract and burn fat, as they do while exercising. In contrast, Bliss Spa (568 Broadway, 877.862.5477; and two other locations) relaxes muscles in its stretch therapy. Garbed in workout clothes, you lie on a table while the therapist elongates various muscle groups, using bands and belts to position them farther than you could do on your own. A 30- or 60-minute session not only alleviates tightness and soreness, but also improves flexibility.

HIS MANLY BROW

Spas and salons have been catering to the male of the species for some time now, of course. But one new wrinkle—or should we say antiwrinkle?—is the type of treatments they’re seeking: going beyond traditional massages and hot-towel shaves to seek antiaging or appearance-enhancing services.

According to Danny Kerr, owner of Spiff for Men (750 Third Ave., 212.983.3240), his grooming salon in the last two years has seen an approximately 50 percent jump in demand for treatments, such as its 45-minute, deep-cleansing facial, designed (the menu reads) to fix “skin experiencing a premature aged look” with exfoliation, pimple extractions and a detoxifying mask. Spiff also offers an hour-long purifying back treatment, which includes a thorough rubdown to remove dry, dead skin. At unisex Julien Farel Restore Salon and Spa (540

ly service begins with a scrub of fine Dead Sea salts (from the Middle East) and Kama oil (from India), and ends with a wrap of neem black clay (African in origin); in between, guests experience the Chinese version of cupping, in which heated domelike glass cups are briefly placed at strategic points on the body, creating a suction that draws impurities to the skin surface, where they can be massaged away. The method “allows the body to purify and refine itself,” explains Assistant Spa Director Nicole Yih. “You’re healing from the inside out.”

3/12/15 9:51:22 AM

Park Ave., 212.888.8988), menfolk now make up almost half the clientele and even have a floor of their own, a handsome, gray- and taupe-hued space with a modernistic barbershop vibe, stitched-leather walls and sleek Italian furnishings. Here, too, treatments that appear to turn back the clock are in demand, says Salon Director John Doran: facials, not unlike those on the women’s menu (except that aestheticians massage male visages with downward rather than upward strokes, paralleling the way beard hair grows), and—the salon’s specialty—hair services, like the salt & pepper camouflage. It’s a balayage technique that blends a color (close to a man’s natural hue) in and among gray hairs, “so the gray is less dominant,” Doran explains.

THE PERSONAL TOUCH

The idea of services and products “personalized for your skin type” has been around for a long time. But now, says Spafinder Wellness Global Media Director Betsy Isroelit, “technology has advanced to the point where spas are not just using prepackaged products that ‘fit’ you, but truly bespoke items— fresh ingredients, made right on the spot.”

It doesn’t get any fresher than the custom color foundation at the Red Door’s makeup counter (200 Park Ave. So., 212.388.0222). First, you indicate whether you like your foundation sheer, medium or full, then whether you prefer a matte or a natural finish, and finally if your skin is dry, oily or normal. Then a video camera is held up to your cheek, your skin tone is analyzed, the results are uploaded into a computer, and, with the press of a few buttons, a bottle of your exclusive formula is mixed, shaken and stirred, while you watch. And

for the body: Did you know the French have identified three different kinds of cellulite? L’Institut Sothys (37 W. 57th St., 212.688.9400) does, and its signature slimming treatment has different serums to combat them. Depending on the type marring your thighs, tummy or tail, the aesthetician selects one— or concocts a combination—and applies them with a kneading motion. The therapy is typical of Sothys’ approach in “customizing treatments based on clients’ needs, rather than following protocols,” notes Spa Director Trena Ross.

BEAUTY EXPRESS

A vogue is also growing for services that are short but sweet.

Within its Art Deco digs, Guerlain Spa (100 E. 50th St., 212.872.7200) offers the time-pressed a midday reprieve: a 25-minute massage that does a targeted number on troublesome body parts. With its new FaceBar, Ling Skincare (12 E. 16th St., 212.989.8833) offers a facial in a half hour, via an infrared energy tool whose warm rays help the applied serums penetrate the skin and stimulate collagen production. Dermalogica in SoHo (110 Grand St., 212.219.9800), a futuristic flagship of the famed organic skincare line, cuts the time even further, with its 20-minute MicroZone treatments. Each of these mini-facials targets a different skin problem or need— and, since they don’t require appointments, appeal to the impulse spagoer. “You don’t have to undress; you don’t mess up your hair,” notes Dermalogica Director of Global Education Annet King. “And since it’s done in an open space, friends can come and chat, or shop, or have a treatment next to you.”

Sand bed, customized foundation or a quickie facial— whatever trend intrigues you, there’s a place to check it out.

THE BROOKLYN MUSEUM (brooklynmuseum.org) is manageably-sized and diverse: Highlights include Judy Chicago’s landmark “Dinner Party” installation, the much-anticipated exhibition Basquiat: The Unknown Notebooks, which is on view thru Aug. 23 (below); and a gift shop stocked with unusual souvenirs to bring back home. If the gift shop gets you in the buying mood, peruse small gifts and cards by local designers at Color BKLYN (colorbklyn.com); on-trend, if pricey, women’s clothes at O.N.A. (onanyc.com); and a fun collection of vintage wear at Hooti Couture (hooticouture.com).

Still from A Conversation With Basquiat

Cherry Esplanade at Brooklyn Botanic Garden

BROOKLYN BOTANIC GARDEN (bbg.org), a massive 52-acre swath of meticulously maintained gardens containing over 200 cherry trees that are showcased annually at the popular Sakura Matsuri cherry blossom festival, slated for Apr. 25-26 this year.

All-Star Brooklyn Nets point guard Deron Williams

BARCLAYS CENTER (bar clayscenter.com), which is easily accessible by almost every major subway line out of Manhattan, hosts Brooklyn Nets games (left) and other sporting and entertainment events. The area immediately surrounding Barclays is reminiscent of Times Square (think: noisy, crowded, chain eateries), so I would recommend literally moving on to greener pastures by walking up Flatbush Ave. to Grand Army Plaza and the magnificent Prospect Park (prospect park.org).

As far as eats go, Prospect Heights has you well-covered. TOM’S RESTAURANT (782 Washington Ave., 718.636.9738), an old-school, family-owned diner beloved for its killer pancakes and egg creams, has been a neighborhood staple since 1936. Be prepared for long lines on the weekends, but the free coffee, cookies and orange slices that are passed out while you wait help ease the pain. For lunch on the go, you can grab an excellent sandwich or prepared food at BKLYN LARDER (bklynlarder.com) or STOCKED (stockedbrooklyn.com). But if you have time to sit, park it at CHUKO RAMEN (barchuko.com) and savor the incredible mentaiko mazemen special if it’s available that day.

PROSPECT HEIGHTS is one of Brooklyn’s tiniest neighborhoods, occupying some 40 square blocks between Fort Greene, Park Slope, Crown Heights and Prospect Park, but don’t let its diminutive size fool you. The neighborhood packs a serious punch in terms of sights to see and food to try per block ratio, so read on!
