THE RETAIL SCENE by Joni Sweet

High Lashpirations From long and flirty to voluminous and dramatic, a woman’s aspiration for her eyelashes is a deeply personal beauty desire that drugstore cosmetics rarely fulfill. Enter: Eyeko, London’s eyelash experts, who have just opened a bespoke mascara bar in Saks Fifth Avenue. Mascara “editors” guide shoppers to the perfect mascara through one-on-one consultations about their ideal lashes. The editors explain the pros and cons of 10 different wands paired with different liquid formulas before testing out two to three options. You’ll take home the combination of your choice in a monogrammed, mirrored box. Editors will complete the look with other cosmetics, like liquid eyeliner, brush-on extensions, eyebrow gel and eye shadow, that will make you shun mass-market makeup forever. | Eyeko, Saks Fifth Avenue, 611 Fifth Ave., 5th fl.; email bespokeUS@eyeko.com for appointment

Bag Palace It’s rather fitting that Hayward handbags are sold in the Grosvenor Atterbury Mansion, one of the city’s most luxurious properties.

After all, designer Marin Hopper comes from a pretty swanky nest herself: Mom and dad are actors Brooke Hayward and Dennis Hopper, godmom is Jane Fonda. But the more you look at the bags, with details of python skin and Italian-made brass hardware, the more they seem to belong at the picturesque store. Take notice of opulent touches like Tiffany glass, a golden fireplace, Grueby tile, taxidermied peacocks, Murano-glass chandeliers and a handpainted, goldstitched ceiling as you browse this bag palace. Whether you go to the store to pick up a gorgeous clutch, suede crossbody or pythonskin tote, or just to snap the perfect Instagram photo, you’ll be enchanted by the sumptuous space. | Hayward House, 131 E. 70th St., 212.585.1712

Pillow Paradise Known as the first store to offer ready-made curtains in France, decor brand Madura brings its softer side to its New York store with pillows.

Two 20-foot pillow display walls, a pillow bar to browse for pillowcases and hundreds of pillows with embroidered patterns and digital prints placed around the three-story flagship pledge to Madura’s passion for pillows. The store offers other items, like curtains, bed linen and decorative pieces, but the pillows prove endlessly tempting. | Madura, 909 Broadway, 212.327.2681

THEATER NEWS by Francis Lewis

Broadway Strong Man Mark Strong (left, center), whose performance in London’s Young Vic production of Arthur Miller’s A View From the Bridge earned him the 2015 Olivier Award for Best Actor, hopes that New York audiences will put awards aside and accept this interpretation of the often-performed play for what it is. “[It is] the clearest, most brutal evaluation of what is essentially a tiny domestic incident,” says Strong, referring to how the feelings of a married Italian-American longshoreman for his niece lead to tragedy. “I’ve never done a play that people have wanted to talk about so much.” And what people talk about is director Ivo van Hove’s decision to strip the play of scenery, props and its Brooklyn-set ambience. For Strong, it’s “liberating.

There are seats on the stage right next to us, so it feels like we’re in a bear pit. There’s nowhere to hide. You can’t take your eyes off the thing, and you can’t stop hearing clearly the words that Miller wrote.” For more about Mark Strong and his Broadway debut, go to innewyork.com/editorsblog. | A View From the Bridge, Lyceum Theatre, 149 W. 45th St., 212.239.6200

Giving Thanks

Birthday Boys On Nov. 6, 2005, Broadway gave birth to a juggernaut: Jersey Boys (below), the behindthe-scenes story of pop group Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, opened at the August Wilson Theatre, where it has been playing ever

since. “Oh, what a night,” as one of the Four Seasons’ hits puts it. National tours and international productions of the show have since been seen by 23 million people worldwide, but it all started here on 52nd St. Cheers then to Jersey Boys—the

Tony Award-winning Best Musical of 2006 and 12th longest-running show in Broadway history—as it celebrates its 10th birthday and enters its 11th year on the Great White Way. | Jersey Boys, August Wilson Theatre, 245 W. 52nd St., 212.239.6200

As Brigid Blake in the Off-Broadway play The Humans, Sarah Steele (above) presides over the Blake family’s Thanksgiving dinner eight times a week. Has the actress’ life ever imitated her art? “I have never hosted my family for Thanksgiving dinner, and based on how it goes for Brigid, I’d do my best to avoid it!” Steele says. “I, like Brigid, am an artist in New York in her 20s. My apartment is small, my ‘breakfast nook’ only seats four, so at least two people would be eating from a plate on their lap. I’m also the world’s worst cook, so …” What will she be eating on Nov. 26?

“Our cast keeps joking that we’re gonna go out for Italian food. We’re sick of turkey.” | The Humans, Laura Pels Theatre, 111 W. 46th St., 212.719.1300

FASCINATING ART DISPLAYS by Terry Trucco

Brothers in Color

Quebec-born painter Jean Paul Riopelle (1923-2002) and Catalonia’s Joan Miró (1893-1983) never made art together. But the two Expressionists traveled in the same circles and even shared a studio in the South of France. Works like Miró’s whimsical sculpture “Homme et femme dans la nuit" (below, 1969) commune amicably with Riopelle’s paintings in Riopelle/Miró: Color. | Acquavella Galleries, 18 E. 79th St., 212.734.6300, thru Dec. 11

Little Girls Layers of ambiguity dance through Margaret Bowland’s lush, unsettling portraits of young girls in fancy dress. In Margaret Bowland: Power, the artist confronts ideas of beauty, gender and race, exploring how her subjects fit into a 21st-century world. Consider “One Child” (above, 2015), whose visual protagonist, like Alice, seems dropped down a rabbit hole draped with foliage inspired by Jean-Honoré Fragonard. But do those roses have thorns? | Driscoll Babcock, 525 W. 25th St., 212.767.1852, thru Dec. 12

All That Glitters

Goldfinger would drool. With contributors from the Gold Rush to the U.S. Treasury, Worth Its Weight: Gold From the Ground Up showcases more than 100 rare objects guaranteed to glitter, never mind the melt value. Come see gold in its many guises: glamorous (a gold Tiffany box owned by Elizabeth Taylor), useful (gold dentures, ca.

1800), playful (a gold and jewel-encrusted Monopoly set) and filthy rich (ancient gold coins from the 12 Caesars collection, left). | Museum of American Finance, 48 Wall St., 212.908.4110, Nov. 19 thru Dec. 3

Down-Dog Geometrics

Karl Haendel: Organic Bedfellow, Feral Othello hits an aesthetic sweet spot. Designed as an installation, it engulfs you in an immersive black-and-white environment of side-by-side drawings that probe human evolution through devolution, expressed in everyday impulses such as getting cold and quenching thirst. But though Haendel’s intricate images create a gallery-wide dialogue, each fascinates on its own, be it primates balanced atop geometric stacks, still-life objects displayed atop polygonal bases or couples stretched in yoga poses in shaped frames (“Radcliffe (DY2),” right, 2015). | Mitchell-Innes & Nash, 534 W. 26th St., 212.744.7400, thru Dec. 5

THE AFTER-DARK SCENE by Joni Sweet

Q&A

As one of the fanciest (and most expensive) restaurants in the city, Le Bernardin and its extravagance can feel a tad intimidating to those not yet acquainted. But the French seafood restaurant’s cool cousin, Aldo Sohm Wine Bar, is a much more accessible experience, where customers can sip wine in a comfy, couch-laden lounge among Keith Haring paintings. The wine menu features more than 40 selections by the glass and 200 by the bottle, while food options include charcuterie, cheese plates, foie gras and roasted veggies. Sip, nibble, savor and relax in this business-casual living room. | Aldo Sohm Wine Bar, 151 W. 51st St., 212.554.1143

Buckle Up

You can hit the road with a drink in hand (legally!) at Pouring Ribbons. The award-winning cocktail bar’s Route 66-themed menu acts as a road-trip map from Santa Monica to Chicago. Stylishly served concoctions, like A Night at the Wigwam (pisco, orange cordial, gin, lemon curd and Earl Grey-smoked yogurt, presented under a wigwam tent model) offer a taste of the culture on the iconic American route.

The Flapjack Old Fashioned (right: bourbon, apple brandy, maple syrup, house blackstrap rum, orange and cinnamon bitters) induces nostalgia for roadside diner breakfasts. Drive carefully. | Pouring Ribbons, 225 Ave. B, 917.656.6788

‘Misery’ Loves Company Bruce Willis makes a terrifying debut on the Broadway stage.

F

or two years, the Broadhurst Theatre was the final stop for Mamma Mia!, the fun, frothy musical based on the pop band ABBA’s hits. But starting Oct. 22, the mood darkened considerably. That’s when its stage became home to one of the scariest stories on Broadway, William Goldman’s adaptation of Stephen King’s novel Misery.

Bruce Willis stars as Paul Sheldon, the novelist who is captured and tortured by a crazed fan. From movies like Die Hard to Pulp Fiction, Willis has made a career of dealing with dangerous situations. In Misery, Laurie Metcalf stars as his “No. 1 Fan” Annie Wilkes, a role made infamous by Kathy Bates in the 1990 film.

“I think that it’s just a different approach to telling a story, and I’m excited by it,” says Willis. “I still think that it’s challenging. Laurie Metcalf is a great actress. It’s a really, strong scary script. I think it’s provocative to have a scary story onstage and not necessarily in cinema.”

14

Willis says the show is an interesting duet with Metcalf.

“She can move around. I’m kind of trapped in that bed for about 85 minutes. So that’s a challenge, too.”

Willis is known for his trademark smirk and wisecracking attitude—and also for his tight-lipped attitude toward his craft. When asked about his preparation for Misery, he merely allows, “I’ve been working out for it—for arm strength, getting in and out of the bed. I’m just trying to get it right and find the right tone.”

If there’s one thing Willis has been successful at throughout his career, it has been establishing the tone of a movie or show. On TV, he set off sparks as David Addison, his breakthrough role in Moonlighting in the 1980s. Then there was his iconic film role of sardonic policeman John McClane in five Die Hard films, and his portrayal of boxer Butch Coolidge in Pulp Fiction that gave him overnight art-house credibility. He played an imprisoned man who was stuck in a time-travel continuum, while trying to save the world, in

1995’s Twelve Monkeys. He went heroic in 1998’s Armageddon, intellectual in The Sixth Sense (1999) and poked fun at his menacing persona as a hit man with a romantic streak in the 2000 success The Whole Nine Yards.

His strong, usually silent screen persona should come as no surprise, given that his screen idols are Gary Cooper, Robert De Niro, Steve McQueen and John Wayne. “It’s in the toolbox now, stillness,” he says. “It’s an old trick. If others are speaking, the camera wants to see you react.

“I recently heard one of my fellow actors say it in three words: ‘Just shut up.’ Just go silent. Maybe that’s just a tiny tag of wisdom, that you’ve got to think about something before you say something. I once thought that somehow, with this job, also comes the inherent right to say whatever I want, regardless of whether I’m right or wrong or think that anybody needs to hear it or should hear it.”

His stardom is a long way from his blue-collar upbringing.

Walter Bruce Willis was born Mar. 19, 1955, in Idar-Ober-

stein, West Germany, the oldest of four children to American soldier David Willis and his German wife, Marlene. After his discharge, David moved the family to Carney’s Point Township, New Jersey. There, his mom worked in a bank, and his dad worked as a welder, mechanic and factory worker.

When he was young, Bruce tried acting, finding that it helped him overcome a stutter. “I was in some Cub Scout show,” he recalls. “I did little skits you would probably find in the Cub Scout handbook. They got a big laugh, and I thought, ‘This is it!’

“I had a terrible stutter. But then I did some theater somewhere, probably in high school. And when I memorized words, I didn’t stutter, which was just miraculous. That was the beginning of the gradual dispelling of my stutter. I thought I was handicapped. I couldn’t talk at all. I still stutter around some people now.”

Following high-school graduation, Willis worked as a security guard at a nuclear power plant and transported work crews at the DuPont Chambers Works factory in Deepwater, New Jersey. He was blue collar all the way. But after a stint as a private investigator, he decided to scratch his acting itch, and entered the drama program at Montclair State University in New Jersey, where he was cast in the class production of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.

The lure of the Manhattan acting community was too great. Willis left school in his junior year and moved to New York City, working in the early 1980s as a bartender at Kamikaze on W. 19th St. He made his theater debut Off-Broadway in Heaven and Earth, and followed it with Fool for Love and a Levi’s commercial. Willis also spent four years in a lead role in the OffBroadway production of Dennis Watlington’s Bullpen.

But Hollywood was calling. Willis landed television roles in Miami Vice and The Twilight Zone. Then came Moonlighting, and Willis was suddenly a big-time screen star.

Nevertheless, all that time theater remained in his blood.

Willis has homes in Manhattan and in Bedford, New York, with his wife, Emma Heming-Willis, and their daughters, Mabel Ray and Evelyn. (Willis has three daughters from his first marriage to actress Demi Moore.) The move East was a fortuitous one. “We moved back to New York about a year and a half ago, “ says Willis, “and not necessarily with the specific idea of doing stage work again. But I was given the opportunity, and it was very easy to say yes.”

When he’s not onstage, Willis might be found in cafés like Sant Ambroeus on the Upper East Side. For now, though, it’s mostly work for Willis. He has recently wrapped Barry Levinson’s Rock the Kasbah, in which he co-stars with Bill Murray. And he’s deep into his role in Misery.

But with a young family and a new home, Willis keeps a healthy perspective on his career. “I do question the whimsicalness of this profession,” he quips. “But Clint Eastwood is still doing it, and he’s still doing great, telling stories. Telling stories is a way to make money—and it’s a great job to have the task of trying to entertain people.”

ON ANY GIVEN NIGHT, thousands of Manhattanites and visitors try to secure reservations at any of the city’s tens of thousands of restaurants. But when it comes to getting a table at one of the hottest, it’s not so easy.

For a restaurant to stay on the hot list in a city as fickle as this one—a town that constantly craves new and different—is a challenge. But what, exactly, makes a restaurant “hot”? In some cases, it’s the chef’s pedigree that’s the magnet. Other times, it’s the feeling of dining in a membersonly club that creates the mystique. And sometimes it’s being in the right place at the right time.

A restaurant has a great space, superlative food and service, and wham! The heat self-generates.

Below you’ll find a roundup of some of the most talked-about restaurants in town right now.

Hint: If you’re reading this and note a restaurant you’d like to visit, put this magazine down immediately and call for a reservation. Enlisting the help of your hotel concierge is also a good idea.

May the force (of an available table) be with you!

Lupulo

Chef George Mendes has traveled the world, cooking at places like acclaimed L’Arpège in Paris and Manhattan’s Bouley. He’s a James Beard Award winner, a Michelinstarred chef and the author of a cookbook about the nuances of Portuguese cooking. When he opened the gastronomy-oriented Aldea seven years ago, Mendes moved to the forefront of important NYC dining. At his newest venture Lupulo, a Portuguese tavern-bar affair near Herald Square, Mendes is always on the line. Unlike absentee chefs who create a kingdom of restaurants locally and far afield, Mendes is always cooking in the kitchen, either here or at Aldea. His passions are in evidence from the emphasis on beer to the selection of small plates like sardinhas assadas com pimentos, bacalhau à gomes de sá, and charred chicken with scaldingly spicy piri-piri pepper sauce. And he’s responsive to the neighborhood. When a no-reservations policy showed signs of irking Mendes’ clients, he changed it: allowing both walk-ins and reserved seating. Why is this a tough ticket? In short, you

have a chef who is as caring as his food is delicious, in a space that fits a void in this Midtown South neighborhood. 835 Sixth Ave., 212.290.7600

Gabriel Kreuther

Another chef with a pedigree most would die for, Gabriel Kreuther boasts a James Beard Foundation Award and a Michelin star on a résumé that spans the globe, starting in Europe and working in some of the most lauded establishments in New York City. Earning early kudos at La Caravelle and Jean-Georges, and gaining distinction as executive chef at Atelier at The Ritz-Carlton New York, Central Park, Kreuther went on to prove that a fine-dining establishment could succeed within the confines of a museum. After a decade as executive chef at The Modern in the Museum of Modern Art, Kreuther now has his eponymous restaurant in a tony location across from Bryant Park. The buzz about his move to independence has been steadily building for more than three years. Before the doors to the restaurant opened in June, the Kreuther-

loyal crowds were already salivating at the thought of the chef’s renowned tartes flambées and Alsatian–New York creations like squab and foie gras croustillant, and sturgeon and sauerkraut tart.

Cosme

Visitors to Mexico know all about Chef Enrique Olvera, the charming maestro behind one of that nation’s best restaurants, Pujol. Olvera’s fame is so strong that visitors have been known to schedule trips to Mexico City according to when they can get one of the restaurant’s elusive reservations. Olvera is credited as the creator of New Mexican cuisine, cuisine that ignores stereotypical burritos and nachos, and instead infuses corn and dramatic flavors to create small plates exploding with taste sensations like uni, hazelnut mole and bone marrow. Now he’s behind the much-heralded Cosme here in the Gramercy Park area. Eschewing research in Mexico to improve traditional recipes, Olvera mastered New York City tastes by moving here, learning everything he could about the city’s foodie cognoscenti and the current state of NYC Mexican restaurants. The choice of location was equally as learned, setting Cosme in a neighborhood known for innovation, success and unstuffiness. At Cosme, there is a worldly clientele mix aware of Pujol’s reputation and wowed by Olvera’s ever-evolving creativity. A strict reservation-cancellation policy ensures that the room’s small size stays booked but is never too crowded. For those unable to schedule well in advance, bar-area seating and two communal tables are available for walk-ins. 35 E. 21st St., 212.913.9659

Streetbird Rotisserie

Marcus Samuelsson is a brand, a culinary brand. The Ethiopian-born chef has made Harlem his home after establishing a solid reputation at Midtown’s Aquavit, where he capitalized on the foods of Sweden, his adopted homeland. His first Harlem restaurant, the somewhat-pricey Red Rooster, has been difficult to get into since it opened, creating a natural segue into something more neighborhoody and less expensive. With a no-reservations policy and a party atmosphere that’s colorful and steeped in New York City culture, Streetbird is a chicken and hiphop joint that fits neatly uptown. On a positive note, you WILL get in, eventually, and you’ll probably enjoy yourself while waiting: A drink at the bar or a perusal of the oodles of paraphernalia lining every inch of wall and ceiling space will easily fill up the time. Of all the buzzy restaurants, this one is probably the most democratic in terms of seating and dining. All you need is patience.

Carbone

It appears that anything the Torrisi–Carbone group touches turns to gold. First, there were Torrisi Italian Specialties and Parm; then Carbone and other Parm spinoffs; and now equally sizzling Santina. Solid cooking by Mario Carbone and Rich Torrisi, appropriately decorated settings and top-notch service are hallmarks. But beyond that, the buzz factor is enormous. President Obama chose curtain-masked Carbone for a taste of Carbone’s “oldworld done new-world” red-sauce fare. It’s widely known that you want to be seated in the retro backroom, and much jockeying occurs for that: It’s like eating in a private club or at the untouchable Rao’s in East Harlem. No matter where you sit, though, a captain takes care of you and orchestrates your meal. And while the food is delicious and traditional, the veal Parmesan and Caesar salad are at least twice as expensive as they need to be. But no one cares. Cachet? Yes. Small-size restaurant but large-scale ambience? Yes. Can you get a reservation here? Let’s hope. 181 Thompson St., 212.254.3000

The Polo Bar

Not a bar, almost not even a restaurant, The Polo Bar is more like a club you can’t join. If you can get a reservation, you’ll probably be seated very early, unless you’re an A-lister. Two bouncers outside designer Ralph Lauren’s shrouded restaurant control your entry. Not on the list?

No dice. You can’t even sit at the beautiful bar unless you have a dinner reservation. The mystique is amazing. Even though the food is more or less Lauren’s favorite comfort dishes and anything but fine dining, this is the “it” reservation to have. Dress to impress and eat that mountain of a burger or those pigs in a blanket as carefully as you can.

You don’t want telltale food stains on your jodhpurs or stilettos as you scan the equestrian-decorated room for some well-known face. Pretty much all the beautiful people are here, all the time. 1 E. 55th St., 212.207.8562

The Ribbon

Two ingredients for a new restaurant’s success are having a parent like Blue Ribbon, a name associated with quality food and service for more than two decades, and a concept that fits into a neighborhood crying out for foodiecentric dining. Unlike other Blue Ribbon restaurants, The Ribbon on the Upper West Side accepts reservations, relevant but not mandatory because of the restaurant’s large size. The bar–brasserie caters to families as well as singles and couples with a varied and changing menu (charcuterie, raw bar, rotisserie, burgers) and multiple dining areas. It’s also perfect before or after a concert at the Beacon Theatre. The restaurant has been full since opening earlier this year. 20 W. 72nd St., 646.416.9080 If you can manage to get a reservation at the retro-glam Carbone (opposite page), you’ll find culinary temptations that include a classic veal Parmesan (top) and a more contemporary tuna crudo (bottom).

IT’S ALMOST A GIVEN that writers—novelists, journalists, bloggers—do their best “work” in bars. Whether you’re a struggling author with the Great American Novel trapped inside, curious to see where Jack Kerouac or Zadie Smith bent elbows, or simply like bars with a bookish vibe, New York has got you covered.

Writerly Hangs

Opposite page: A martini from the Blue Bar (above), the original home of the writers and intellectuals of the Algonquin Round Table at the Algonqin Hotel.

Any serious exploration of New York’s literary drinking scene begins with two classics: The pressed tin ceilings and ornate back bar at Pete’s Tavern (129 E. 18th St., 212.473.7676) aren’t ironic or “throwback,” they’re the real deal. Pete’s dates back to 1864, and it’s been a Gramercy Park fixture ever since (it claims to be the oldest continuously operating bar/restaurant in New York City). Many creatives have thrown back a drink or three here: Ludwig Bemelmans wrote his first Madeline book here, supposedly on the back of a menu. O. Henry, who lived just down the street, mentions the bar (changing the name to Kenealy’s) in his short story “The Lost Blend” and legend holds that he wrote “The Gift of the Magi” here (sans laptop). These days, Pete’s is a welcoming, casual drinking and dining spot attracting locals and literature fans alike. Straightforward bar fare and classic Italian dishes (think: linguine with clam sauce and veal parmigiana) are accompanied by well-made classic cocktails, Pete’s famous house-made eggnog, and signature drinks like the Pineapple Jerry, a blend of Sailor Jerry rum, Licor 43, pineapple juice, sour mix and cinnamon.

The White Horse Tavern (567 Hudson St., 212.989.3956) opened in 1880, but began atIN NEW YORK | NOVEMBER 2015 | INNEWYORK.COM

tracting the Beat poets and the early folk music scene in the 1950s and 1960s. Here the likes of Kerouac, Bob Dylan, Norman Mailer and Hunter S. Thompson all spent time. But the most well-known tale is that of poet Dylan Thomas, who did not go gentle into that good night.

Thomas famously went on a massive bender, followed by a couple of beers at the White Horse in November 1953, returned to the Chelsea Hotel, where he was staying, and died a few days later. While we highly recommend you do not emulate the poet, the cash-only spot is ideal for beer from the likes of Brooklyn Brewery and Oskar Blues, along with shots and classic mixed drinks like a mimosa, martini or Negroni.

Many establishments attracting creatives in New York City fall into the neighborhood-tavern or inexpensivedive category. For Dorothy Parker, Robert Benchley and the rest of the 1920s writing/theatrical group, The Vi-

cious Circle (as they were originally called), such surroundings simply wouldn’t do. Instead, they took their martini-fueled “business meetings” at Midtown’s Algonquin Hotel (59 W. 44th St., 212.840.6800), where they became known as the Round Table. “More drinking than writing certainly got completed there,” notes Kevin Fitzpatrick, author of The Algonquin Round Table New York: A Historical Guide. Today, thanks to a face-lift, you can sit at the Round Table (in the restaurant) or sip on martinis in the hotel’s iconic Blue Bar, the space where the Round Table tribe originally convened.

Perhaps the most vibrant literary street in New York right now is MacDougal, south of Washington Square.

Recent upgrades make the thriving New York Universitypopulated street worth a visit. In the 1930s and 1940s, Minetta Tavern (113 MacDougal St., 212.475.3850) attracted everyone from authors (Ernest Hemingway, Jo-

seph Mitchell) to bohemians, such as the eccentric Joe Gould, who claimed to be writing a comprehensive history of the modern world. Restaurateur Keith McNally kept the historic trappings, but reinvented the space as a celebrity-studded destination. Century-old Caffé Dante (79-81 MacDougal St., 212.982.5275), frequented by artists such as poet/musician Bob Dylan, recently closed and was lovingly restored (the original tin ceiling pattern was hunted down, as were 1950s-era banquettes). Now, an elevated Italian dinner menu is augmented by expertly made, seasonally inflected cocktails. And Jack Kerouac used to live above the Gaslight Cafe, a coffeehouse (with famously terrible coffee), which opened in 1958 and helped turn Greenwich Village into a folk music mecca.

Today it’s called the Up & Up (116 MacDougal St., 212.260.3000), a casually immaculate, semisubterranean bar featuring craft cocktails served with no attitude.

Because writers so happily hang around taverns and boîtes, many great works employ real bars as settings.

Often, there are direct crossovers: Joseph Mitchell set much of his book Joe Gould’s Secret at Minetta Tavern, while acclaimed poet Alfred Corn wrote “Brodsky at the Caffé Dante” because that’s where the action happened.

Some settings are critical to the story. Sure, F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald frolicked in the fountain in front of the Plaza Hotel, but fictional Jay Gatsby spent time there because it made sense for the era’s wealthy social set. Today, the Plaza honors its Jazz Age literary heritage in the plush Rose Club Bar (768 Fifth Ave., 212.546.5311), where live music, distressed velvet seating and pre-Prohibition cocktails (like the Whiskey Mac, a blend of Dewar’s and ginger wine) reign supreme. There’s even a remodeled Fitzgerald Suite available, adorned in black-and-gray Art Deco patterns.

In Tom Robbins’ infectiously abstract 1976 novel Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, Sissy Hankshaw and her friend discuss “dancing Friday night at Kenny’s Castaways.”

The lowbrow live-music party venue closed recently, to reopen as Carroll Place (157 Bleecker St., 212.260.1700), a higher-brow, attractive gastropub and wine bar. There’s still live music, but beer pong has been replaced by an impressive wine selection and colorful cocktails like the Bleecker Street Sour (rye, amaretto, lemon juice, egg white, topped off with a Montepulciano wine float).

It’s also tough to find bars highlighted in contemporary fiction that are still open. Circumstances that make for dramatic storytelling (gentrification, avant-garde twentysomethings trying to find themselves, high-profile living) exist within a rapidly shifting retail universe in real life.

Many of the Williamsburg, Brooklyn, “first wave” hot spots mentioned in Joanna Smith Rakoff’s pre-and-post 9/11 novel A Fortunate Age—like Galapagos and Oznot’s Dish—have closed. Likewise, most of the ritzy, modelpopulated sites frequented by American Psycho protagonist and ultimate scenester Patrick Bateman were either fictional or have morphed into nondestination CVS drugstores. However, Texarkana, where Bateman thinks he catches a glimpse of Donald Trump’s ex-wife Ivana, is now Alta (64 W. 10th St., 212.505.7777), a luxe, romantic spot serving small plates and boasting a lengthy wine menu. Harry’s (1 Hanover Sq., 212.785.9200), another one of Bateman’s hangouts, underwent renovations and has reopened, but still maintains the classic steak-house ambience. Finally, Bateman mentions The Four Seasons Restaurant (99 E. 52nd St., 212.754.9494) in passing, still a bona fide NYC hot spot.

(636 Hudson St., 212.229.2642, the first of several locations) was an innovator in the concept of cocktail bars surrounded by shelves of hardcover books. It’s also a cigar bar. Order James Bond’s favorite drink, the Vesper (gin, vodka, Lillet blanc), and light up a fine maduro. An events calendar often includes classic Bond films and specialized whiskey tastings.

For an equally elegant experience, the bars at The NoMad Hotel (1170 Broadway, 212.796.1500) are mustdos. Bar manager Leo Robitschek and his talented staff regularly win national and international awards for their exquisite drinks, like the rich Gentlemen’s Exchange (rye, Suze, amaro, vermouth, coffee, absinthe and bitters).

Most of the bars are open to anyone, but the Library bar, an intimate den of sofas and club chairs, surrounded by shelves stacked with historic cookbooks and adventure texts, is generally reserved for hotel guests (if you’re there

at just the right moment and are extra nice, you might get lucky). Bookmarks, the inside-outside rooftop bar at the Library Hotel (299 Madison Ave., 212.204.5498) is similarly adorned, but accessible to the general public all day long. Themed drinks, like The Pulitzer (Plymouth gin, elderflower liqueur, Fernet-Branca, lemon juice and agave nectar), add some fun to the night’s experience.

It’s important to remember that New York’s literary drinking scene isn’t a past-tense experience: While researching (read: drinking) for this article at Caffé Dante, I found myself randomly seated alongside a Wall Street Journal author and a novelist of some note. In fact, many of the aforementioned watering holes still attract the literati. “The Algonquin wasn’t just a 1919–1929 author hangout,” insists Dorothy Parker expert Fitzpatrick. “I’m always running into writers. Authors still go there to meet publishers and have a drink.”

FOR INSIDERS’ PICKS, GO TO INNEWYORK.COM/EDITORSBLOG

Written by Joni Sweet Edited by Lois Levine

The letters/numbers at the end of each listing are NYC Map coordinates (pp. 72-74)

Beach in a Bag

Made from the skins of stingrays, this leather clutch from Anastasia Vitkina complements an evening dress or resort wear with a swirling design. The rainbow clutch is a highlight of her Shagreen Dream collection, which includes one-of-a-kind, durable bags made from pearly shells, exotic woods and other sea-life materials, so you can take the beauty of the beach with you wherever you go. | Five Story, 18 E. 69th St., 212.288.1338. anastasiavitkina.com

Hybrid Coat

Norwegian Wool combines down parkas with wool topcoats in its line of hybrid coats for businessmen.

The designers have equipped the coats with waterproof membranes to protect against sleet, two-way zippers to increase flexibility when sitting down and down filling to insulate wearers from subzero temperatures. The collection is stylish enough for a business meeting, but warm enough to take on the streets while visiting New York City this winter. | Rothmans, 222 Park Ave. So., 212.777.7400. norwegian-wool.com

If the Shoe Fits . . .

When you plan to wear one of Badgley Mischka’s glamorous designs to a big event, it’s essential to have a shoe just as glitzy as the gown. Fortunately, the designers offer a collection of their own. This navy satin high heel pops with a glittery embellishment at the toe. The designers also offer similarly sexy shoes in white, pewter, nude, black, iris and silver, so shoppers can find the perfect color for their special evening. | Badgley Mischka, 24 E. 64th St., 212.644.4934. badgleymischka .com

Teas for the High Seas

Teatime goes couture with Kusmi Tea’s holiday gifts. In honor of the Jean Paul Gaultier exhibit, displayed at the Grand Palais in Paris earlier this year, Kusmi Tea teamed up with the edgy fashion house to create a “sailor box” tea chest, recalling a sailor uniform with stripes and a red pom-pom. The gift box includes 42 assorted tea bags, including Anastasia (black tea, bergamot, lemon and orange blossom), Prince Vladimir (black tea, citrus fruits, vanilla and spices), BB Detox (green tea, maté, rooibos, guarana, dandelion and grapefruit), Sweet Love (spice blend, guarana, licorice and pink peppercorn) and spearmint green tea. | Kusmi Tea, 1037 Third Ave., 212.355.5580. us-en.kusmitea.com

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.

by

The large, diverse Brooklyn enclave of Bedford-Stuyvesant (Bed-Stuy, to locals) has drastically changed since Spike Lee set his groundbreaking film Do the Right Thing here more than 25 years ago. The fair-trade coffee shops and draft-beer bars that you might expect to find in a rapidly gentrifying area have arrived in spades, but the leafy sidewalks, stunning brownstone architecture and neighborhoody feel remain, making this an ideal place to take a walk on a crisp fall day.

Pillows from Peace & RIOT

SHOP If you’re drawn to simple, nature-inspired design, Peace & RIOT (peace andriot.com) is a must-see home goods and gift shop selling African baskets, faux fur pillows and live-edge wood coffee tables. Fashionistas looking for one-of-a-kind wardrobe upgrades need look no further than Miss Master’s Closet (missmasterscloset.com), a meticulously curated vintage shop featuring high-quality, lovingly restored women’s clothes and accessories. Stylish, contemporary dressers will love Sincerely, Tommy (sincerelytommy.com), a café/retail shop with cutting-edge clothing by indie designers.

Chilled corn soup at Willow

your day in Bed-Stuy with a drink or two at one of the many hipster-friendly hot spots popping up all over the ‘hood. Relative newcomer Beast of Bourbon (beastof bourbonbk.com) has 40 beers on draft, whiskey cocktails, live music and a chill atmosphere. Beer nerds will also love Glorietta Baldy (502franklinbar.com). And if you want to dance your face off to 1990s hip-hop, One Last Shag (onelastshag.com) is one of the best places in the city to do so.

EAT If you venture out to Bed-Stuy and have a sweet tooth, you’d be remiss to skip a trip to Dough (dough brooklyn.com), a coffee shop and bakery serving One Last Shag doughnuts in flavors like hibiscus and café au lait that will completely blow your mind. And if you take a short walk to Bedford Ave. and Quincy St., you’ll happen upon a mural bearing the likeness of hometown hero, rapper Notorious B.I.G. Another great place for coffee and a quick morning bite is SCRATCHbread (scratchbread .com), which has standout egg sandwiches on housemade bread. The character of Bed-Stuy is heavily influenced by its Caribbean-American population, and you can find exceptional representative cuisine at Ali’s Trinidad Roti Shop (1267 Fulton St., 718.783.0316) and A&A Bake and Doubles Shop (481 Nostrand Ave., 917.892.9562). Relative newcomer Saraghina (saraghinabrooklyn.com) serves up wood-fired pizzas in a cozy setting; and diners seeking rustic, seasonal fare will be impressed with the exquisite, inventive dishes at Willow (willowbk.com).
