WHAT’S TRENDING ON THE FOODIE SCENE

by Lois Levine

I just discovered Rocco Steakhouse (72 Madison Ave., 212.696.9660), a handsome new venue right across the street from the IN New York offices. A great find for beef lovers (lamb chops, Cajun rib eye). Señor Frog’s (11 Times Sq., 212.221.3833), the ultimate Spring Break bar for frat boys around the world, has been unleashed on Times Square! And, speaking of hangovers, Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer (529 Broome St., 917.639.3089) has started a brunch service: You’ll surely be revived from too much Saturday night partying with options like a turkey burger salad with blue cheese, a fried egg and bacon, partnered with a spicy Bloody Mary. Broken Spoke Rotisserie, a rustic new spot in Murray HIll, offers yummy slow-roasted meats: Amish chicken, heritage-breed pork and a “beast of the week” (439 Third Ave., 212.889.6298). I recently cozied up to the bar at Ibis Mediterranean Restaurant & Lounge (151 E. 50th St., 212.753.1144), a new Midtown spot with a stunning dining room and tasty sizzling jumbo shrimp. Finally, I was thrilled to hear that County, one of my favorite farm-to-table spots (34 E. 20th St., 212.677.7771), has new winter offerings: egg raviolo, braised short ribs, buttermilk fried chicken. Grab a seat at one of the communal tables up front, dig in and make new friends.

Michael’s Back in Town Not that Michael Feinstein (below)—singer/pianist/revered guardian of the Great American Songbook—has ever left. He performs regularly at big venues like Jazz at Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall’s Zankel Hall. No, it’s his return to the local nightclub scene at newly renamed Feinstein’s/54 Below that has him and us excited. “I love nightclubs,” he says, barely containing his enthusiasm.

“I can see the eyes of everybody in the room. The connection with a nightclub audience is like being with family.” For his debut engagement this month at Feinstein’s/54 Below, which he calls an “elegant throwback to classic supper clubs,” he plans an all-new holiday show. “I’m not a person who likes to sing the same holiday songs year in, year out. I’m always finding ways to evoke the holidays with a fresh eye. So, you’re not likely to hear me do ‘Santa Claus Is Coming to Town.’” He says the last with a twinkle in his voice, befitting the season. For more about Michael Feinstein and the subtle tweaks he’ll be making at the club, from seating to food to performers to choice of piano, go to innewyork.com/ editorsblog. | Feinstein’s/54 Below, 254 W. 54th St., 646.476.3551, Dec. 20-30

Gifts with a Broadway pedigree add star quality to the holiday season.

• Barbra Streisand as Fanny Brice in Funny Girl (above) is the latest in the Broadway Legends Holiday Ornament Collection.

Designed exclusively for Broadway Cares/ Equity Fights AIDS, the 6-inch glass bauble can be purchased at broadwaycares.org.

• Stewart F. Lane’s Black Broadway (Square One Publishers, 2015) celebrates AfricanAmerican performers, playwrights, songwriters, directors and choreographers.

• Seth Rudetsky—Sirius XM radio host, author/star of the upcoming Broadway musical Disaster! and funny guy—knows and tells all in Seth’s Broadway Diary, Volume 2 (Dress Circle Publishing, 2015).

Prince of Wales When Keira Knightley and Matt Ryan (left) first embrace in Thérèse Raquin, their characters—a young woman in a loveless marriage and her seducer—combust. For Welshman Ryan, who’s acted with the Royal Shakespeare Company and with Jude Law in Hamlet, both in London and New York, the role of Laurent is an “extraordinary” journey. “The person Laurent is at the end of the play is completely different from the person we start out with,” he says. “At first, he’s charming. He knows how to work a room, and we like him. The whole thing about the play is what happens to people when they give in to their basest urges. The results can be—and are—catastrophic.” For more about Matt Ryan, go to innewyork.com/ editorsblog. | Thérèse Raquin, Studio 54, 254 W. 54th St., 212.719.1300

LOOKING AND FEELING GOOD by Lois Levine

A Spa for All Seasons Whether you are staying at The Four Seasons Hotel on this trip to New York or not, it may be worth your while to take advantage of its luxe spa.

The Swiss-based L. Raphael has built a reputation around the world for its noninvasive oxygen facial treatments. The services don’t come cheap, though. Consider the 50-minute, $1,100 Oxy Star Anti-Pigmentation Treatment: White truffles (known to block the production of melanin in the skin) are dispersed beneath the skin’s surface to help fade sun and age spots. A collagen mask is then applied to help firm the skin, and to diminish lines and wrinkles. | L. Raphael, Four Seasons Hotel New York, 57 E. 57th St., 212.350.6420

The Kiehl Thing At Kiehl’s Spa 1851 (the year the company was founded), you have your choice of three themed rooms in which to enjoy the various treatments offered: the Rainforest Room, the Apothecary Room and the Adventure Room, each enhanced with reclaimed tin ceilings, antique fixtures and subway tile accents. Aside from treatments (a hydrafacial back treatment, a men‘s refueling facial) and a separate men’s grooming area, the spa also offers a first-floor retail store selling a wide range of the company’s products. | Kiehl’s Spa 1851, 157 E. 64th St., 888.772.1851

Sleek Salon It inspires confidence to get your hair styled in a space that is itself an example of fine style.

Among the notable details in Salon Ziba’s 4,000windows, an alcove ceiling made of Venetian plaster and silver leaf, custom-designed marble cut and color stations, and individual USB charging ports. And, oh yes, let’s not forget the array of services offered, too: manicures and pedicures, cuts and color, facials and more. | Salon Ziba, 50 W. 57th St., 212.767.0577

FASCINATING ART DISPLAYS by Terry Trucco

Capturing a Continent

With breathtaking beauty and diversity, Latin America was catnip to 19th-century artists as Boundless Reality: Traveler Artists’ Landscapes of Latin America from the Patricia Phelps de Cisneros Collection proves. Consider German artist Ferdinand Bellermann (1814–1889). He spent just over three years in Venezuela but depicted the country for the rest of his life in paintings like “At the Sugar Mill” (above, 1868–70). | Two venues: Americas Society, 680 Park Ave., 212.249.8950; Bertha and Karl Leubsdorf Art Gallery at Hunter College, E. 68th St. & Lexington Ave., 212.772.4991, thru Jan. 23

Past & Present

Fantasy Puzzles uzzles

Asked what one of his blazingly original assemblages meant, artist H.C. Westermann (1922–1981) replied, “It puzzles me, too. How can I explain a work like that?” See America First immerses you in Westermann’s captivating free-spirited world, rich in complex fantasy objects. Crowned with a metal weather vent, “The Silver Queen” (above, 1960) embodies the artist’s maverick blend of surrealism, folk art, craftsmanship and humor. | Venus Over Manhattan, 980 Madison Ave., 212.980.0700, thru Dec. 19

16

In MoMA PS1’s three previous surveys of New York artists (an exhibition started in 2000 that recurs every five years), the work of young, little-known artists were the focus of the show. But fired by nostalgia for art from the 1970s and 1980s, Greater New York embraces work by both emerging and established artists from 1976 to the present (such as Collier Schorr’s “The Painted Chair (Jordan)” (left, 2015). Nearly 400 examples by 158 artists probe provocative aesthetic connections between present and past. | MoMA PS1, 22-25 Jackson Ave., Long Island City, 718.784.2084, thru Mar. 7

THE AFTER-DARK SCENE by Joni Sweet

Antique Drinks

Need a chic spot to hang out on the Upper East Side? Restaurateur Daniel Boulud, who’s behind NYC favorites like Café Boulud, Boulud Sud and DBGB Kitchen & Bar, welcomes guests to an Art Deco-inspired lounge within The Surrey hotel. Cocktails are a blast from the past, with drinks like the Morning Glory Fizz (scotch, absinthe, lemon, lime, sugar, egg white, soda) coming from antique bar books like George Kappeler’s Modern American Drinks from 1895. Soak up the boozy concoctions with dishes from the late-night menu, including charcuterie, beef sliders, scallop ceviche, and garlic- and parmesan-dusted pommes frites. | Bar Pleiades, 20 E. 76th St., 212.772.2600

Fireside Chat

Bubbly Boîte

Something’s bubbling beneath the Bourgeois Pig in Greenwich Village. Riddling Widow, a new, 20-seat speakeasy, focuses on sparkling wine. Beverage director Tanner Walle seamlessly makes his way around the black velvetwalled room, seducing guests with vivid descriptions of the regions responsible for whatever the bottle in his hand contains. As he pours a glass of Hofgut Falkenstein sparkling Riesling, he describes the Saar region of Germany and the impact of its mineral-rich soil on the wine. The terrain enhances the flavors and textures, which I can taste with each pour. I leave the decadent den eager to learn (and try) more. | Riddling Widow, 127 MacDougal St., 212.598.1809

Dance Hall

You don’t have to endure the snobby crowds and flashy atmosphere of Meatpacking District mega-clubs to find a good dance party in this city, now that the Lower East Side’s Sapphire Lounge has reopened as the Rumpus Room. The intimate nightclub invites guests to boogie without inhibitions in a stylish space with a luxe copper bar, quirky vintage wallpaper, zebra-print stools and bamboo walls. Bubbly lovers, take note: Prosecco is on tap. | Rumpus Room, 249 Eldridge St., 212.777.5153

Raid The Liquor Cabinet at the Gregory Hotel.

The sleek new cocktail bar in the hotel lobby is modeled after a classic NYC town house, featuring a 10-seat marble bar, high tables made of stone and leather banquettes next to the fireplace. If the crackling fire doesn’t warm you up, perhaps one of the cocktails will. Choose from classics like Manhattans and Negronis or specials like the Hemingway Daiquiri (Mount Gay Eclipse gold rum, maraschino, grapefruit, lime) and the Gregory Loco (left, Ilegal Mezcal Joven, grapefruit, lime, bitters). | The Liquor Cabinet at the Gregory Hotel, 42 W. 35th St., 212.947.0200

‘TIS THE SEASON TO GET FANCY!

PHOTOS: IMAGES OF RAINBOW ROOM, BART BARLOW

BY JACKIE COOPERMAN

WITH THE ARRIVAL OF THE HOLIDAYS, Manhattan, always glamorous, gets even dressier. Fifth Avenue windows are decked out, star-shaped streetlights illuminate the avenues and the city is at its most elegant. While it’s certainly easy to take in all the wondrous sights of the city in casual clothing, there’s no better time to celebrate by getting a bit fancy.

“If you’re looking for a place where people do still love to dress up, New York is it, more than any other U.S. city,” says Thomas P. Farley, a Manhattan-based etiquette expert, who lectures nationally under the moniker Mister Manners. “People care deeply about what they’re wearing, and they enjoy getting dressed up.” So, go ahead: Make a reservation at one of these fabulous venues, where you’ll feel at home in a little black dress, a suit and tie, and even, on occasion, a tuxedo and ball gown: The Rainbow Room (30 Rockefeller Plz., 212.632.5000) has brought its original prewar glamour roaring back to Manhattan and also provides one of the city’s best views. On any given evening, the room hosts acts ranging from small jazz combos to full-scale orchestras, the Swarovski crystal chandeliers gleam, and couples of all ages show up on the dance floor. Women often wear floor-length gowns (sometimes vintage) and men, in tribute to

At Minton‘s, you not only dine on such fine dishes as creole-braised lamb shank while listening to live jazz, you have a wonderful excuse to go out and buy yourself a hat worthy of a royal gala.

flects New York City,” says Chef Ripert. “We see that our guests always dress for the occasion anyway, be they regulars or first timers. It really adds to the ambience we wanted to create.” In the more casual lounge, jackets are recommended but not required. For the holidays, the restaurant is serving a special menu focused on truffles, making the menu as dressed up as the patrons.

Reopened in 2013 by ex-Time Warner CEO Richard Parsons and Chef Alexander Smalls, Minton’s (206 W. 118th St., 212.243.2222) has returned to its roots as a hub for Harlem jazz. Drawing a dressy and festive crowd, Minton’s has been refashioned as a jazz supper club, serving upscale Southern food during its two live sets Wednesday to Sunday evenings, and at a jazz brunch on Sundays.

“Although we don’t strictly enforce a dress code, most people wouldn’t be caught dead walking into the club in sneakers, a T-shirt and jeans,” says Smalls. “People tend to get dressed up: They are going to not only enjoy a meal, but also experience sophisticated entertainment.”

Sunday brunches offer live jazz and Southern favorites like fried chicken and biscuits.

the swing era, will sometimes sport whimsical bow ties.

The Rainbow Room offers two seatings on select evenings, and a prix fixe menu. The Sunday brunch includes a jazz band; this month, the Rainbow Room hosts a holiday brunch buffet with live entertainment.

At Chevalier at the Baccarat Hotel (28 W. 53rd St., 212.790.8869), Michelin-starred Chef Shea Gallante runs the kitchen. Luxe and understated, the modern French dining room offers dinner à la carte, with tasting menus available upon request and arranged in advance. The restaurant does not require jackets and ties for men, but diners should and do dress for the occasion, with many men in jackets and ties and women in attractive suits or dresses. On New Year’s Eve, Chevalier offers two dinner seatings, with champagne toasts and savory and sweet canapés passed before and after dinner.

Le Bernardin (155 W. 51st St., 212.554.1515), Chef Eric Ripert’s paradise for pescatarians, requires jackets— but not ties—for men in the formal dining room, which was redesigned by Bentel and Bentel and reopened in 2011. “With our redesign, we wanted to provide a luxurious experience for our guests, with great energy that re-

like New York City Ballet’s performance of The Nutcracker (David H. Koch Theater, 20 Lincoln Center Plz., 212.496.0600). George Balanchine’s staging of Tchaikovsky’s vibrant score has been drawing little girls in Mary Janes and velvet dresses since 1954. With 90 dancers, 62 musicians, 125 children in alternating casts from the School of American Ballet and a 40-foot Christmas tree, The Nutcracker is a true spectacle. For balletomanes wanting more pageantry, the Nutcracker Family Benefit fund-raiser on Dec. 12 includes a matinee performance and a holiday party on the Promenade, during which dancers sign autographs and take photos with guests.

The Django at the Roxy Hotel (2 Sixth Ave., 212.519.6600) is a new jazz club that draws a sophisticated downtown crowd. “The Django is the kind of place where people—from couples on date nights to hardcore jazz aficionados, like to dress up,” says Tony Fant of GrandLife Hotels, which owns the Roxy. The club has tables for two and intimate banquette seating. The designers looked to Jazz Age Paris for inspiration, illuminating the vaulted ceiling with vintage lighting fixtures. In December, plush and luxurious: It’s the only way to go.

212.582.72000), whose barroom ceiling is hung with some 700 toys (including Willie Mays’ baseball bat and a replica of Air Force One from President Clinton), has relaxed a little—requiring jackets but not ties for men—but still personifies dressy. During a recent lunch, a small wedding party dined, resplendently, with oysters and champagne. “In a tradition that dates back to when ‘21’ opened on New Year’s Eve of 1929, this is an establishment that celebrates the notion of dressing for dinner,” explains General Manager Teddy Suric. This month, ‘21’ holds its annual Salvation Army Band charity holiday lunches and dinners, with special menus.

Opera lovers adore theatricality, and the same is true of their dress at the Metropolitan Opera House (30 Lincoln Center Plz., 212.362.6000). From ball gowns to kimonos to ascots, anything goes, as long as it’s worn with flair. Expect to see jeweled brooches, tiaras, pinstriped suits, satin, lace and stilettos. This month, the bedecked crowds can see Puccini’s La Bohème. The Met’s also staging an English-language, abridged The Barber of Seville, suitable for children, starting Dec. 16.

Nothing suggests the magic of holidays in Manhattan

borough beat

by

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.

Everyone knows that New York City is a magical place to be around the holidays, but if you’re looking for a December tradition that’s a bit more underthe-radar, take a trip deep into Brooklyn to the traditionally Italian neighborhoods of Dyker Heights and Bay Ridge. The jaw-dropping spectacle of the Christmas lights in Dyker Heights should be on the itinerary of anyone who visits New York in December, and it’s a mere 10 blocks or so to Bay Ridge, a friendly, working-class area with great food and shopping.

The Dyker Lights: the houses on 83rd to 86th sts., btw 11th and 13th aves.

SHOP You can find something for everyone on your holiday shopping list, and for a steal, at the gigantic Bay Ridge outpost of Century 21 (c21stores .com). It’s definitely less crowded than the Manhattan locations, but for a more intimate option, visitors might want to venture to Lola’s Boutique (lolasboutiquenyc.com) for on-trend women’s clothing and accessories or The Bookmark Shoppe (bookmarkshoppe.com) for—you guessed it—books.

The Owl’s Head

DRINK The hipsterfication running rampant through more northern parts of the borough has started bleeding into Bay Ridge.

Case in point is the cool but totally unpretentious Owl’s Head wine bar (theowlshead.com), which is a great place for a bite and a glass of wine (poetry readings and live jazz also offered on select nights).

Take note of the awesome bar top, handcrafted and rough-hewn from a single maple tree.

EAT Fashions might have changed since Saturday Night Fever was set in Bay Ridge in the 1970s, but this melting-pot community still feels old school. True to its original Italian-American roots, Bay Ridge offers plenty of red-sauce joints where you can get baked ziti and killer cannoli, but it’s also home to the highly touted Middle Eastern restaurant, Tanoreen (tanor een.com). Don’t miss the eggplant Napolean, the fried Brussels sprouts with tahini or the knafeh dessert. Brooklyn Beet Company (korzorestaurant .com) brings a farm-to-table sensibility to Eastern European fare—the fried grass-fed cheeseburger with housemade beet ketchup is a must-try.

Looking for a laid-back, SoCal vibe?

Chow down on some West Coast-style Mexican food at Ho’ Brah Taco Joint (hobrahtacos.com). Ho’ Brah’s sister beer garden, The Lock Yard (lockyard .com), has an impressive craft brew list and serves organic bratwursts, sweet potato tater tots and other elevated pub fare. Robicelli’s Bakery (robicel lis.com) boasts confections like nutella lasagna and Brooklyn blackout layer cake, and Cream Coffee & Tea Shop (creamcts.com) has Stumptown coffee, doughnuts and macarons.
