But now there is also a place for artistry in husbandry, as artists create original works to decorate seed packs. Bill Ryback’s digital print of heirloom beets for the Hudson Valley Seed Library (above) looks good enough to eat—and frame.

Time for Mime

Craftsmanlike In the world of American studio glass, Harvey K. Littleton, who died in December 2013 at age 91, is a pioneer—an evangelist, he called himself—in the movement that revolutionized glassmaking in the 1960s, transforming it from assembly line production into a fine art.

Littleton, it is said, manipulated molten glass as adeptly as a sculptor models wet clay.

“Falling Blue” (right, 1969), featured in the Museum of Arts and Design’s exhibit devoted to its founder, Aileen Osborn Webb, certainly proves that point. “I’m very interested in the color [of a work],” Littleton once confided, “but I’m more interested in the strength of the form, the bending of the glass, the inherent frozen movement in the piece.” | What Would Mrs. Webb Do? A Founder’s Vision, Museum of Arts and Design, 2 Columbus Circle, 212.299.7777, thru Feb. 8

Mummenschanz is the very antithesis of the city it visits this month. In one of the most cacophonous places on the planet—endless jackhammers, police sirens and people gabbing on their cellphones—the theater troupe utters not a sound.

Silence reigns supreme, while masks, mime and movement do all the talking. | Mummenschanz, NYU Skirball Center for the Performing Arts, 566 LaGuardia Pl., 866.811.4111, Nov. 20–30

Making Contact Again

When a Broadway musical ends its run, it lives on in the original-cast recording of its songs. But what about the show’s dances? Are they preserved for posterity? Up to now, the answer would have been no. But American Dance Machine for the 21st Century, founded in 2012, has taken up the challenge, creating an archive of classic and current choreography by such theatrical luminaries as Jerome Robbins, Michael Bennett, Gower Champion and others. In its debut engagement at the Joyce Theater, American Dance Machine returns several of these masterworks to live performance, including “Simply Irresistible,” the seductive swing-dance sequence from Susan Stroman’s 2000 Tony Award-winning choreography for Contact (left). | Joyce Theater, 175 Eighth Ave., 212.242.0800, Nov. 11–16

Record-Setter

Transformation

Chicago (right) is a Broadway show with legs. Now in its 18th year, the 1997 Tony Award-winning Best Revival of a Musical— incidentally, the longest-running revival in New York theater history—gives its 7,486th performance on Nov. 23, outpurring the British felines of Cats to become the second longest-running show in Broadway history. The Phantom of the Opera, another British import and currently the longest-running show on the Great White Way, better watch its back: The gals of Chicago are hot on its tail, with a hip roll here and high kick there. | Chicago, Ambassador Theatre, 219 W. 49th St., 212.239.6200

Superficially, Tom Dugan (below) and Simon Wiesenthal have little in common. Dugan, who portrays the Nazi hunter in the one-man Off-Broadway play Wiesenthal (which Dugan also wrote), says, “Wiesenthal is 95 in the play, I’m 53. He was a Jewish Holocaust survivor from Austria. I’m a Catholic actor from New Jersey. It’s quite a stretch.” Old-age makeup and a fat suit help in the transformation, but what joins the men, Dugan contends, is their sense of humor and shared intolerance of intolerance. For more about Tom Dugan, including the invaluable lesson in playwriting he learned from the late actor Jack Klugman, go to innewyork.com/editorsblog. | Wiesenthal, Acorn Theatre

“The play is about love, death, nature, religion and, most importantly, Dickinson, who was so full of humor, mischief and insight. When will I ever get the chance to do something like this again?”—Joely Richardson

Setting Sail on Broadway

The Last Ship (left), the new Broadway musical about a British shipbuilding community, is a deeply personal piece of theater for John Logan, author (with Brian Yorkey) of the show’s book. “My father went into the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast when he was 16,” Logan says. “I spent my life growing up, as did Sting [composer of the show’s music and lyrics], with a shipbuilder for a father. But I’m not sentimental about what the life of building ships was really like. It was hard, it was brutal. If you didn’t have orders, you were on the dole. I know what it was like to stand outside the shipyard.”

fascinating art displays by Terry Trucco

Body Language

Before she became a sculptor, Jennifer Paige Cohen was a dancer.

Bodies at rest and in motion, and the gestures they harbor, fascinate her. In Feels Lke Telepathy, Cohen’s sculptures hover between figurative and abstract. Look closely, and you’ll see isolated body parts, cast in plaster and dressed with snippets of previously worn sweaters, trousers and shirts. The clothing imbues the sculptures with memories of a time or place. In “Let the Sunshine In (The Flesh Failures)” (below, 2013), the memories may hail from Cohen’s high school or college days. | Nicelle Beauchene, 327 Broome St., 212.375.8043, thru Nov. 9

Fresh Prints

Prints embody fine art at its most democratic. After all, artists like Louise Bourgeois, Mary Cassatt and Jasper Johns also made prints. Market rarities by them light up the International Fine Print Dealers Association’s 2014 IFPDA Print Fair, where old-master masterstrokes mingle easily with fresh-off-thepress showpieces like Damien Hirst’s hypnotic “Methylamine13c” (above, 2014). | Park Avenue Armory, Park Ave. & E. 67th St., Nov. 6–9

Greek Drama This year marks the 400th anniversary of the death of Domenikos Theotokopoulos, a Crete-born artist better known as El Greco, the proto-modern old master and, in Picasso’s estimation, the quintessential Spaniard, a nod to his years in Toledo. Collector Henry Clay Frick snapped up three El Greco paintings, including “Purification of the Temple” (right, c.1600), viewed by CounterReformationists as an allusion to the purification of the Roman Catholic Church from heresy. All three masterworks appear next to one another for the first time during this anniversary season. | The Frick Collection, 1 E. 70th St., 212.288.0700, Nov. 4–Feb. 1

Dream big: The agency requires a minimum $40k budget to design the opulent junkets. | Sienna Charles, 317 10th Ave., 212.602.1669

For the Gents

It’s no surprise that Saks Fifth Avenue curates an incredible selection of gifts for women, so we wanted to highlight instead its offerings for guys. Gents can look suave after dark in DSQUARED2’s jacquard jacket (above) or a Brunello Cucinelli charcoal tuxedo. Charvet bow ties and Del Toro quilted blue velvet slippers make the outfit. The final touch? A spritz from Penhaligon’s collection of mini fragrances for men. These items are exclusive to Saks, so even Santa will have to head to Midtown to get them. | Saks Fifth Avenue, 611 Fifth Ave., 212.753.4000

Arm Party The hottest accessories trend today is stacking—slipping multiple rings on each finger, bangle upon bangle on the wrist—and a local jewelry designer has just the goods for fashionistas.

Freida Rothman, who recently opened a shop in NoLIta, crafts dazzling bracelets (left) and rings that beg for mixing and matching.

The store also offers a collection of mixed-metal jewelry that is highly versatile. | Freida Rothman, 248 Mott St., 212.226.3900

At age 67, Glenn Close, the elegant, Connecticut-born star remains one of the world’s busiest actresses, having earned six Oscar nominations for films such as Fatal Attraction and Dangerous Liaisons, three Emmy Awards (including two for her portrayal of lawyer Patty Hewes on Damages), and three Tony Awards, including one for her performance as faded film star Norma Desmond in the musical Sunset Boulevard.

Now, two decades after she last graced the Great White Way in that show, Close has returned to Broadway in Edward Albee’s landmark 1966 drama A Delicate Balance. In the play, she is Agnes, the matriarch of a troubled WASP family that is coming apart at the seams. In real life, Close has been happily wed to her third husband, technology entrepreneur David Shaw, since 2006 and gave birth at age 41 to Annie Starke, now a young actress herself.

The actress recently spoke to IN New York about the play, her acting background and why she loves being a New Yorker.

always walking

on a tightrope,

never feeling like you’ve arrived at

a safe place.”

This is the play’s third Broadway production. Why do you think 2014 is the right time to revive it? I

think since 9/11, the play has achieved even more resonance. There’s a part of the play where this couple arrives at Agnes’ house and they’re terrified of the world, and I think that means

Theater is challenging; it gives the brain a good workout. And I relate to Agnes, because she is the one person in the play trying to keep everything balanced. As a person, you’re always walking on a tightrope, never feeling like you’ve arrived at a safe place. But I’ve mostly maintained my balance, although sometimes I am more off the rope than on.

What made you want to come back to Broadway in this play?

something more to people since the show was last done on Broadway in 1996. The world has changed so much since then.

And John Lithgow, who co-starred with you in The World According to Garp, is playing your husband, Tobias. I love

John. He is a beautiful human being. I love what he said in The New York Times that he is the male Glenn Close and I’m the female John Lithgow [in that they’re basically serious theater actors who have been lucky to find great material to play in film and television.] Also, we have real chemistry onstage, and I think chemistry is everything. Without true chemistry, you can fake it, but you can’t make that beautiful meal for the audience to enjoy.

You don’t come from an acting family. What made you want to become a performer? Watching the movie Snow White and the Seven

Dwarfs as a little girl caught my imagination. And since I loved fairy tales, I watched all of those Disney movies. I really just wanted to walk up to Walt Disney’s door and say I could do that—although I wasn’t in a Disney film until I played Cruella De Vil in 101 Dalmatians.

What are your earliest memories of being exposed to Broadway musicals? I remember listening to Mary Martin on the original cast

recording of South Pacific when I was about three, and that was an aha moment for me. And then I got to see The Sound of Music on the Broadway stage, and that show made a really strong impression on me. I really love that all-American, Rodgers & Hammerstein sound.

Your background is similar to Katharine Hepburn, who played Agnes in the film version of A Delicate Balance. Do you think of her as a role model? Yes. We’re

both from Connecticut and her dad was a doctor, as was mine. Like me, she also knew what she wanted and was extremely strong in her choices. She always dressed comfortably, and one of the things I love most about living in New York is that I don’t have to wear what I call grown-up clothes—except for major appearances. I often go out around my neighborhood, the West Village, and never worry about what I look like or if someone is going to come out with a camera. I was on the bus once, and I had on jeans, a hat and a man’s shirt, and this woman across from me mouthed ‘great disguise.’

How do you feel about Annie following in your professional footsteps? How could I not

be supportive of her becoming an actress? I hope she has a loving and connected life, as much as you can in this business, while also being fulfilled by her work. That’s the balance!

N

o city in the country treats restaurants as theater more than New York—the municipal motto might as well be: “Would you like some flair with that?”

Some chefs have always put the drama in dinner, but lately more and more are offering added attractions, right at your table.

Eleven Madison Park (11 Madison Ave., 212.889.0905) is easily the local leader in blending dinner and a show.

The dining room is one of the grandest in Manhattan, with huge windows, towering floral displays and dramatic art, and a dazzling setting for the platoon of servers who deliver dishes in choreographed style. (Plates are cleared away with the same Rockettes-worthy precision.)

Executive Chef Daniel Humm is renowned for not just his sensational flavor combinations highlighting local ingredients, but also his over-the-top presentations.

Dishes are months in development and change with the seasons. This past summer, for example, a cheese course was served in a picnic basket. Now, the restaurant is offering a deli course as part of its $225 prix fixe (12-16 courses) dinner. Inspired by the classic NYC delicatessen, it includes a housemade beef pastrami, presented in a custom chaffing dish and paired with such elements as leeks, fingerling potatoes and celery.

Eleven Madison offers drinks on wheels, too: Manhattans are mixed to order tableside, and a Champagne cart rolls among tables to tempt diners with bottles rather

than a list. In addition, for $16, the mixologist will create a cocktail just for you. With a flourish, of course.

A looser, jazzier floor show can be experienced just a few blocks away at Basta Pasta (37 W. 17th St., 212.366.0888), where the $18 spaghetti con prosciutto e Parmigiano has been an amazingly long-running hit for this offshoot of a Tokyo restaurant, opened nearly a quarter-century ago. Servers wheel a half-wheel of Parmigiano-Reggiano tableside and quickly swirl in the strands of hot spaghetti so that the cheese melts to make a semblance of sauce. Slices of prosciutto and fresh basil are laid on top as the bowl is presented.

Basta Pasta has always put the emphasis on presentation, though. The kitchen is not hidden away but is in the front room opposite the bar; the dining room you enter through has a changing gallery of art on the walls and buzzes like a big party.

with chile powder, and marinated onions, for example— as well as pickled bok choy, cucumbers and daikon radish, for $28 to $35 at dinner. There’s no experience like having a server literally light your table.

The prime rib presented at Porter House New York (Time Warner Center, 10 Columbus Circle, 4th fl., 212.823.9500) arrives already cooked, but fastidiously primed. The beef, which must be ordered 72 hours in advance for a party of four to eight, is aged 120 days, giving it what Chef Michael Lomonaco describes as “pretty aggressive” flavor. “It’s not for everyone,” he warns. Those who indulge are treated to a show: The roast rolls up on a cart and is carved as diners watch, after appetizers such as roasted marrow bones, and lettuce with slab bacon, tomato and blue cheese. The juicy meat itself is paired with au jus, popovers, mushrooms, onion rings, homemade fries or pommes Anna. The large-format feast costs

those who think of tofu as the other white stuff have yet to see the presentation at morimoTO. Pasta is also a production at small-screen celebrity chef Lidia Bastianich’s Felidia (243 E. 58th St., 212.758.1479).

Servers, clad in suits and ties in the formal dining room, heat the pear-and-pecorino ravioli or pappardelle over a gas burner at your table, then assemble the accoutrements (crushed black pepper, or moulard duck and mushrooms).

Chicken or duck also takes the stage: Boned and roasted, it’s presented at the table to be sliced on a serving cart and teamed with vegetables and sauce. Some desserts are also presented with panache, like the fig carpaccio finished with a chunk carved off a honeycomb.

When it comes to greens, the award for the most dramatic Caesar salad in town has to go to Carbone (181 Thompson St., 212.254.3000). Lesser restaurants merely try to upgrade the green cliché by substituting kale for romaine, but this swanky Italian tosses it old-school, with waiters in maroon tuxes drizzling and whisking endless ingredients. It’s $21, but it comes with everything but a souvenir Playbill.

Actual cooking in the dining room happens at Gaonnuri (1250 Broadway, 39th fl., 212.971.9045). Order the Korean barbecue, and you won’t know where to look: at the grill in the center of the table, where your tender meat is tended to by the server/cook, or out the floor-to-ceiling windows at the eye-popping views of the Hudson River and the Empire State Building.

Marinated short ribs can be grilled over the gas flame, as can steak, chicken, duck, pork, shrimp or even eel.

Each protein comes with two salads—shredded scallions

$155 a head, but as Lomonaco says, “Part of the drama of a roast is seeing the roast.”

Lomonaco, who learned dining room theatrics working at Le Cirque and ‘21,’ considers the cart a big element of the show. And so does David Bouley. His restaurant, Bouley (163 Duane St., 212.964.2525), has long been famous for its bread chariot, driven to your butter dish with different loaves and rolls offered to complement different dishes (saffron-hazelnut with bouillabaisse, for instance). But now he has one more cart dispensing cheese— nearly three dozen choices—and yet another for drinks, herbal infusions paired with sorbets.

Those who think of tofu as the other white stuff have yet to see the presentation at Morimoto (88 10th Ave., 212.989.8883), where you can get soybean curd made to order right at your table. The restaurant itself is one grand stage, but this particular dish is a revelation. Servers bring the liquefied soybeans and a fermenting agent in a beautiful dish and come back not long afterward to uncover a silky sensation.

Finally, dishes at The Musket Room (265 Elizabeth St., 212.219.0764) also engage the eyes as well as the palate.

Servers present soup with the solids in the bowl before the liquid is poured over. The smoked scallops arrive under a glass dome; when the server whisks it off, an aromatic cloud of smoke wafts out. The combination of the seafood with sea beans, black garlic and cucumber is something else, but it’s the presentation that will have the next table leaning over to applaud your choice.

Insider’s Guide To Drinking

L

ike all of us, this great city’s nightlife circuit holds secrets. Mysterious, alluring and intoxicating ones.

They are tucked away in dark alleys, hidden behind unmarked doors and shielded by thick curtains.

New York’s hideaway bars are frequented by those special few who are in the know. You can be among them, if you so desire—you just have to be able to keep a secret. So, welcome to the cocktail underground. We hope you came thirsty.

Before we begin, a quick history lesson. The Prohibition Era (1920–1933) made the manufacture and sale of “intoxicating liquors” illegal nationwide, but not even the passage of the 18th Amendment could stop New Yorkers from getting their booze on. Bars went into hiding—and the cocktail underground was born.

This “dry” period left a lasting mark on New York, and birthed the nightlife scene as we now know it.

It seems appropriate, then, to start with a house of gin, considering it was the spirit of choice during IN New YORK | november 2014 | innewyork.com

1114_IN_F_Nightlife.indd 27

Prohibition. Then, even the most toxic, cheap grain alcohol could be made palatable when mixed with juniper berries (the dominant source of gin’s botanical flavor).

Bathtub Gin (132 Ninth Ave., 646.559.1671) pays homage to this past in more ways than one. To the uninformed passerby, the address belongs to Stone Street Coffee Company, a quaint, rustic java stop. Just inside and through an unassuming door, however, a throwback parlor presents itself—pressed tin ceilings, upholstered wingback armchairs, hardwood floors and Baroque wallpaper. There, the “stuff” is shaken and stirred, with Nolet’s Reserve Dry Gin allocated as the “ultimate” for sipping.

And just as you’d hope there would be, a large copper bathtub—yes, like the ones of folklore used to brew moonshine in—sits in the middle of the room (and several more make cameos as bathroom sinks). Guests are free to plop down inside and put their feet up, as long as they’re sober enough to pull themselves out again.

Speakeasy-style bars emulate the past, while others are part of it. A space that was a true speakeasy in the past century is again fulfilling its intoxicating purpose. True to form, it hides in plain sight. The Lower East Side Toy Company, in what appears to be a dilapidated storage house, isn’t what it seems. Open a metal gate, walk down an ominous alleyway (pictured on p. 27) and enter The Back Room (102 Norfolk St., 212.228.5098). The style and sophistication of the interior are in contrast to the run-down, seedy feeling of the venue’s exterior (a dram joint couldn’t operate as a real speakeasy unless it had the true capacity to deceive). Amid velvet-lined walls and opulent couches, cocktails are served, as a discreet establishment would, in teacups, while beer comes in paper bags. Still more secrets: Behind a seemingly standard bookcase lies, true to the name, a back room. It’s inviteonly, so keep an eye out for an insider to cozy up to.

Raines Law Room (48 W. 17th St., no phone) defiantly takes its name from an 1896 law passed by the New York State Legislature that imposed a liquor tax and prohibited the sale of booze on Sundays (save for hotels)—one small step in the march toward full prohibition. Ring the wall-mounted buzzer for entry and take in the anachronistic, if a bit over-the-top, scene: Silhouettes of Jazz Age archetypes (the flapper, the showgirl and the smoking gent) dot one wall in celebratory poses as guests do their best to imitate under shimmering tin ceilings.

Plush armchairs make for comfy places to plop alongside exposed brick walls and vintage photos in circular frames. Velvet couches are enveloped in gauze fabric. A homey, prep kitchen in the back is where the mixologists work on pre-Prohibition staples, including perfect Negronis and Manhattans.

A gritty, triangular-shaped brick building, capping an irregular intersection in the West Village, is home to one

28

While the exterior suggests the joint is closed, the interior of 67 Orange Street screams open for business, with colorful art on exposed brick walls, flickering candles, and a bar and stools made with distressed wood.

Insider’s Guide To Drinking of the area’s best under-the-radar spots. Little Branch (20 Seventh Ave. So., 212.929.4360) delivers big. You’ll spot a bouncer, donning 1920s street garb, sitting on a stool in front of the unmarked door. If you approach him well-dressed and with intent, he’ll wink and open up. You descend into a dimly lit canteen, austerely decorated, save a few tastefully distressed touches, and with a small, standing, corner bar and compact wooden booths to the side. Bartenders, in newsboy caps and period trousers, chip ice right off the block for whiskey on the rocks and take their sweet time with cocktail orders.

Feel comfortable going with the bartender’s choice, or pick from a solid selection of classics (Casino, for example: gin, maraschino liqueur, lemon and orange bitters, shaken and served straight up). They’re worth the wait. Get there right as it opens at 7 p.m., especially when there’s live jazz (Sun-Thurs). The small space draws crowds.

Don’t be dissuaded by the heavy, purple velvet curtains that are perpetually closed in the storefront windows at 67 Orange Street (2082 Frederick Douglass Blvd., 212.662.2030). Contrary to appearances (which are carefully curated), the bar is far from shuttered.

Rather, the Harlem hideaway is bursting with life, and life-giving drinks. The joint—named after the last historic (and seedy, considering it lay in the notoriously crime-ridden, 19th-century Five Points district) address of Almack’s Dance Hall, one of the first African-American-owned bars in the city—doesn’t shy away from any kind of booze, and devotes stand-alone menus to each of the major players: gin, whiskey, tequila, rum, vodka and punch, as well as champagne, pisco, cognac and beer. Antiquated lightbulbs, filaments exposed, cast a dim light that reflects off antique mirrors in the sultry space. Craft cocktails, mixed behind the bar, range from the Color Purple, a proprietary cocktail by actor and mixologist Garrett Lee Hendricks, (London gin, lavender bitters, blackberries, St. Germain, lemon juice and simple syrup) to Manhattan After Dark (cigar-smokeinfused Woodford Reserve bourbon, port, bitters, Domaine de Canton ginger and Benedictine). If you find yourself getting hungry, go for the fried chicken sliders.

You won’t be disappointed.

Not all underground bars recreate the aesthetics of a speakeasy of yore. Often enough, it’s not about the look, it’s about modern takes on the mystique.

An inconspicuous steel door marked with a simple “AB” lives on an unassuming Lower East Side street.

Knock. Then, wait. Knock again—not too aggressively, now—and step inside. There’s no written menu at Attaboy (134 Eldridge St., no phone). In all honesty, you don’t even need one. The two suspender-clad bartenders have skills that can’t be contained by recipes. Instead, IN New YORK | november 2014 | innewyork.com

they’ll prompt you to define your tastes, ask for a liquor of your preference and, with a nod, employ their wet sorcery. What ends up in your glass—be it a traditional Old Fashioned or a remix of a classic Gin Fizz—is a product of their whim and imagination. Conversation bubbles over the soft, soulful soundtrack. No reservations are taken, so it’s best to arrive early (before 9 p.m.).

If you manage to land a seat at the brushed-steel bar or in a booth after that, you’ll indeed be deserving of a heartfelt “attaboy.”

In the unlikeliest city in the world, you can count on unlikely pairings. The East Village Crif Dogs (113 St. Marks Pl., 212.614.2728), a trendy hot dog house, has a vibe that reads “sauerkraut” more than it does “Sazerac,” but don't be dismayed: Find the old-time, woodpaneled phone booth inside and behold a portal to a lush’s paradise that goes by the name of PDT (212.614.0386), short for “please don’t tell” (and you better not). Make sure you call beforehand, as only same-day reservations are accepted (ring as soon as the lines open at 3 p.m.; they can be full almost immediately). Enter the booth, pick up the receiver and ring the buzzer (just once, as any cool cat knows); once you’ve announced yourself, a wall opens up into the high-quality cocktail den. Think: a sleek wood-paneled bar, exotic taxidermy and clubhouse booths. The Staggerac (just like a classic Sazerac, but with extra-strong bourbon) is a crowd-pleaser. And if all this isn’t enough, you can get the tasty hot dogs delivered right to you. Pass the mustard and propose a toast, but whatever you do … don’t tell. Please.

While most in Little Italy are scoping out cannoli and spicy meatballs, savvy drinkers scan Mulberry Street for a signless red door under a green light set back from the sidewalk. It opens into a waiting room with stainless steel walls and a sneaky one-way mirror. Knock on the interior portal, and you’ll be let into Mulberry Project (149 Mulberry St., 646.448.4536), a modern space with a long bar lined with red stools and with pleated black leather banquettes on the opposite wall. Industrial-style lights hang overhead. An outdoor space in the back is often transformed into offshoot pop-up bars with their own menus, decor and identities. Come expecting to be pleasantly surprised.

It’s easy to walk past Pouring Ribbons (225 Ave. B, 2nd fl., 917.656.6788). The upstairs bar doesn’t do much to announce itself. Nor does it rely on any flashy decor gimmicks: The cocktails are so good, the place doesn’t need to. Reservations aren’t required, but the doormen like to trickle the flow of tipplers (if you already have a friend there, you can get in fast). A diverse house menu covers serious ground (a strong standout is the Debaser: gin, sherry, Licor 43, dry curaçao, orange

Insider’s Guide To Drinking bitters), and grades each concoction’s characteristics, from refreshing to spirituous, comforting to adventurous. The selection of Chartreuse, that yellowish-green French liqueur invented by Carthusian monks, is unrivaled in the area. Chat up the friendly bartenders. They possess encyclopedic knowledge on ingredients and drink histories.

The Lower East Side’s Open House (244 E. Houston St., 917.225.9018) is marked by a neon sign (and the young crowds that huddle out front smoking cigarettes on weekends). The narrow space, with two bars, delivers a standard dance-bar experience. Things turn up after 2 a.m. Down a flight of stairs, where the everyday patron would see nothing more than restroom entrances, the insider sees an opportunity: A “secret” door hides here. Sometimes it looks like a stack of beer cases, other times it looks like a Red Bull-dispensing machine. Give it a good, firm push, and you’ll discover a soundproof dance chamber, with DJ booth and laser lights. The party here doesn’t stop until, well … the party stops. Sweaty bodies bump together until after dawn, and when it’s time to wind down, exhausted revelers are ushered out via a side entrance into the lobby of a neighboring tenement and into the light of day.

The list of insider watering holes goes on, and proprietors are getting increasingly creative as they try to dazzle and mystify patrons with hidden haunts. The Garret (296 Bleecker St., 2nd fl., 212.675.6157), a casual yet refined upstairs lounge, has an entrance paradoxically placed in the back of a West Village Five Guys burger joint and serves expert cocktails. The Capote & Friends—bison-grass-infused vodka, St. Germain, strawberry, cucumber, lime—is a light and frothy delight. Mainstay Beauty & Essex (146 Essex St., 212.614.0146) masquerades during the day as a vintage pawnshop, revealing a luxe, modern bar and restaurant behind a hidden portal by night. La Esquina (114 Kenmare St., 646.613.7100), which to the naked eye looks like a ramshackle taco spot, has a secret brasserie and bar underneath with superb sips and a star-studded clientele. East Williamsburg’s Featherweight (135 Graham Ave., Brooklyn, 347.763.0873), with nothing to mark its doors but a street-art boxer and punching bag, brings elevated mixology to an edgy area. Fig. 19 (131 Chrystie St., no phone) is only accessible via a hidden door in a Lower East Side art gallery. Not even barber shops are sacred: Blind Barber (339 E. 10th St., 212.228.2123) gives haircuts when the sun is up, and transforms into a back-room cocktail lounge once darkness falls. In short, hidden and secret are in on the New York scene.

Prohibition is long gone. Yet the underground scene is here to stay. You’ve now been inducted, and that’s worth drinking to.

brooklyn beat In and Around Fort Greene by Fort Greene, with its cobblestoned streets, stately brownstones and affable vibe, is the quintessential Brooklyn neighborhood. Home to worldclass art centers and countless cafés, the area has a distinctly European feel, but there are plenty of signs that you are in New York City. One of Brooklyn’s most famous sons, Spike Lee, has his film production company here, and a mural on Fulton Street encourages passersby to “Spread Love It’s the Brooklyn Way.” A slew of celebrities call Fort Greene home, but it’s also where neighbors hang out on each other’s stoops, and kids and dogs play in the streets. Just a stop or two from downtown Manhattan on most subway lines, Fort Greene is a necessary stop on any visitor’s itinerary.

Cipriani Wall Street features the signature Bellini, invented by Giuseppe Cipriani’s grandfather and namesake at Harry’s Bar in Venice, as well as Carpaccio alla Cipriani, Baked Tagliolini with Ham, Rice Pilaf alla Valenziana, Crepes “a la Crème” and other Italian specialties.

The bi-level restaurant seats up to 120 people, with room for 60 additional guests on the spacious outdoor terrace. On the main floor, guests are welcomed by the sight of a bar, leather bar stools, dining tables, and chairs identical to those at Harry’s Bar. Four “La Murrina” Murano glass chandeliers, Peter Beard artworks on cork-paneled walls, and a Roman travertine marble floor complete the luxe European experience.

The upper level of the restaurant offers intimate dining with a Russian white oak wood floor and brilliant-green Dominique Kieffer-upholstered chairs.

The outdoor terrace features unparalleled views of Wall Street and is open year-round, completely enclosed and heated during the winter months.

Both the terrace and upper level of the restaurant are available for private functions.
