skyline Song & Dance Acknowledged as the world’s oldest national ballet company, founded during the reign of Louis XIV, the Paris Opera Ballet returns to New York for the first time in more than 15 years during the Lincoln Center Festival. The repertoire includes a trio of 20th-century one-act ballets, the full-length Giselle and choreographer Pina Bausch’s interpretation of Christoph Willibald Gluck’s opera Orpheus and Eurydice (left, Stéphane Bullion and Alice Renavand). Bausch’s staging is particularly significant in that it follows the French opera tradition of integrating dance and vocal music.

Dancers and singers portray the two lead characters onstage, while in the pit are the Balthasar-Neumann Ensemble and Choir. » Paris Opera Ballet, David H. Koch Theater, Lincoln Center, Columbus Ave., at W. 63rd St., 212.721.6500, Jul. 11-22

behind the curtain news » by Francis Lewis

Sommer in the City Rich Sommer (left, in hospital whites, with Jim Parsons and Jessica Hecht) is spending his hiatus from Mad Men, the acclaimed TV series in which he plays Harry Crane, in the Broadway revival of Harvey. “I think I love it,” he says with a deep laugh, referring to the change of pace between the dark dramatic show and the character of Duane Wilson, the somewhat “brutish” (his word) right-hand man to a psychiatrist in the vintage comedy. Harvey is the first play Sommer has been in since graduate school eight years ago. “I am ashamed to admit that I had become very complacent with how, and I put this word in quotes, ‘easy’ it is to shoot a TV show where you only need to memorize that day’s scene the night before,” he confides. “You also have several chances to get it right. But with a play, you have one shot per performance. Harvey is a real reminder of both what terrifies me and what I love about doing theater.” » Harvey, Roundabout Theatre Company, Studio 54, 254 W. 54th St., 212.719.1300

Lovin’ Lavin Playwright Nicky Silver remembers the first day of rehearsals for The Lyons: “I was a nervous wreck.” The characters who had lived in his mind were about to become flesh and blood. Linda Lavin (below) had been cast as the formidable matriarch of the Lyons family. A fan for years, Silver had never met her. Would they click? “We sat down for the first read-through, and by the end of page one, I knew that something magical was happening. She understood this woman.

She understood the play. Frankly, she’s a genius.” Ten months later, and “my opinion of her has only grown,” Silver enthuses. “There is no one more alive onstage, no one with sharper comic skills or greater depth. I’m so grateful—and a little frustrated. You see, at some point I’ll have to work with other actresses, and they won’t be Linda Lavin.” » The Lyons, Cort Theatre, 138 W. 48th St., 212.239.6200

Since premiering on Broadway on Nov. 6, 2005, Jersey Boys, the musical about pop superstars Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, has become a supernova in its own right, having been seen by 14 million people, from San Francisco to Melbourne. Next stop is Singapore, where it opens in the fall. The New York production has special reason to celebrate this summer: Its original leading man, John Lloyd Young (above), who starred as Valli for two years, returns to the part Jul. 3 thru Sept. 30. Young made his

Baubles, Bangles and Beads

For the past decade, on the first weekend in May, self-taught photographer Zoe Strauss has posted images of street scenes on the pilasters of an I-95 overpass in South Philadelphia; reflecting “the beauty and struggle of everyday life” in the challenged ’hood has been an enduring theme of her work. That work has lost none of its power, even though it’s now displayed indoors in Manhattan in 10 Years: A Sideshow. Photos such as “Stay Alive” (above, 2008) cover additional subjects close to Strauss’ heart—like the unintentional irony of public signage. » Bruce Silverstein Gallery, 535 W. 24th St., 212.627.3930, thru Aug. 3

Go for Baroque If musicians sometimes see notes as colors, why can’t an artist envision music as a series of shapes? Such is the case with the dozen lively sculptures that comprise Frank Stella: New Work. Their inspiration, the artist says, lay in early-18th-century composer Domenico Scarlatti’s harpsichord sonatas: “If you follow the edges of the lines, there’s a sense of movement, and they become colorful … and that’s what happens in the Scarlatti— it builds up and it moves.”

Whether mounted on walls or freestanding, like “k.162” (right, 2011), the lightweight resin and steel-tube pieces do seem to pulsate, resembling 3-D versions of Stella’s famed painted renditions of flat, Day-Glocolored circles, parabolas and squares from the 1960s and 1970s. » FreedmanArt, 25 E. 73rd St., 212.249.2040, thru Sept. 2

Touched by Joy Looking at oil paintings by the aptly named Shelley Joy, one can’t help but smile: They seem so full of life, a rainbow of exuberant swatches of color, as if a child had gleefully dumped the contents of several paint cans on the canvas.

Closer examination, however, reveals a variety of brushstrokes (some broad, some dribbled, some dotted with almost pointillist precision) and careful contrast of shapes, as in “Talking Squares” (above, 2012), part of Abstract Modernism: Pirouettes Into Time, Joy’s one-woman show this month. » Blue Mountain Gallery, 530 W. 25th St., 646.486.4730, Jul. 12-28

Philly Portraits

It’s Christmas in July for jewelry lovers, when the New York Antique Jewelry & Watch Show comes to town with some 100 dealers (from around the country, as well as Europe and Latin America) presenting the crème de la crème of their collections. All the big makers are on hand: Tiffany, Patek Philippe and Van Cleef & Arpels (including a diamond necklace actually owned by Helena Arpels). The fair’s name is a bit of a misnomer, though. While the wares include plenty of historic sparklers—a dainty Edwardian opal pendant, a jazzy pair of platinum Art Deco diamond dress clips, a cunning 1940s flag pin of red, white and blue gems on a gold pole—modern pieces are well represented, too, such as the 1992 collier-style necklace pictured here by British designer Robert Glenn, made of cabochon tourmalines set in 18-karat yellow gold. Walking through the show can be like visiting a glittering museum—only, in this case, one can take the exhibits home. » Metropolitan Pavilion, 125 W. 18th St., 239.732.6642, Jul. 20-23

On This Earth, A Shadow Falls, features stunning images of endangered African animals, which he photographs “in the same way I would a human being, watching for the right ‘pose’ that hopefully will best capture his or her spirit,” he says.

Always “moving in close” he never uses a telephoto lens, because it is too impersonal. Prices of the photographs from the exhibition start at $4,500. Hasted Kraeutler is open to the public Tuesday Friday, 11 am - 5 pm.

And They’re Off …

A Who’s Who of horse racing’s high society populates two giant murals by painter Rumara Jewett, while a collage of George Kalinsky’s black-and-white photographs of equines and jockeys covers an entire wall. But Seabiscuit and other champion Thoroughbreds and riders are not the only celebrated athletes associated with Siro’s (left), the just-out-of-the-starting-gate Manhattan branch of a 67-year-old, trackside dining hot spot in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. Investors in the handsome new restaurant—which specializes in classic and contemporary preparations of seafood, steaks and chops—include New York Yankees pitcher Mariano Rivera, who considers the eatery his “home turf.” » Siro’s, 85 Second Ave., 212.486.6400

Elegant Soul A philanthropist, collector, nutritionist, former ballerina and owner of 10 restaurants in Japan, Mihoko Kiyokawa named her first eatery in the United States (right) for the purported weight of a human soul (21 grams). The cuisine, devised by a team of chefs under Mihoko’s supervision, however, is a world away from soul food.

Rather, it’s high-concept Franco-Japonaise fare, offered à la carte and in multicourse seasonal tasting menus amid Versailles-like opulence. Imported marble, bronze lanterns, baroque paintings and treasures from an Upper East Side mansion set the scene for Santa Barbara uni bisque with fennel, lemon and cuttlefish; and Mangalista pork with ratatouille-stuffed squash blossoms. » Mihoko’s 21grams, 16 W. 22nd St., 212.741.0021

Bonjour

Reminiscent of the breakfasts his grandmère Mamie Angèle used to make, Executive Chef Luc Dimnet’s weekend brunch menu at Brasserie features savory French classics: oeufs meurette (red-wine poached eggs with crisp duck confit, cèpes and fingerling potatoes), vol au vent aux truffes (fragrant truffled scrambled eggs in puff pastry), coeur à la crème (a buttery crêpe with sweetened fromage blanc, Neufchâtel and strawberry compote), tartiflette (gratin of potatoes, pickled rutabaga, farm-fresh eggs and melted raclette cheese) and crêpes à la Reine (left, a crêpe with grilled chicken breast and royal trumpet mushrooms). » Brasserie, 100 E. 53rd St., 212.751.4840

Velvet Ropes Exclusivity is the name of the game at Provocateur, Michael Satsky and Brian Gefter’s hyperselective nightclub. Purple spotlights illuminate an entrance with a “hard door” policy—only the rich and/ or supremely attractive need apply. The décor is as flashy as its clientele: A café space is decorated in dollhouse imagery and features a 4,000-square-foot retractable roof, while the dance lounge (left) touts black chandeliers imported from the Netherlands and black lace walls inspired

by Madonna’s 1985 Virgin tour. Here, even the drinks are aesthetically motivated: Skin-care guru Scott Vincent Borba designed a cocktail list loaded with vitamins, extracts and serums that purport to enhance the drinker’s natural beauty. » Provocateur, Gansevoort Meatpacking NYC, 18 Ninth Ave., 212.929.9036

Black Lilies If you’re a night crawler looking for dark décor and that naughty Downtown vibe, subterranean Lilium will satisfy. Designed to echo the exoticism of a cave of wild lilies, the space features sculptural black steel lilies by artist Scot Brown and a ceiling encased in twisted metal that cascades down the black walls. DJs play indie rock, electronica and Billboard hits while patrons nibble treats

by Chef Todd English and sip the aptly named signature cocktail: Black Lily (right, vodka, muddled blackberries, champagne). Guests may sleep in the hotel above, but underground, Lilium’s party goes all night. » Lilium, W New York– Union Square, 201 Park Ave. So., 212.358.1560

“Roses are red, violets are blue”—however, if you’re passing through Columbus Circle, the roses can be stone, too. Stone Rose Lounge, a sleek and airy spot with an open floor plan, is all about the view: Floor-to-ceiling windows afford loungers VIP vistas of the Central Park cityscape. The neighborhood’s high-brow, after-work clientele sip Lychee Martinis (Chambord vodka, lychee juice, lemon, simple syrup and bitters) and the eponymous cocktail: The Stone Rose (Woodford Reserve bourbon, white cranberry juice, sour mix and simple syrup).

Eggs à la Russe At the turn of the 20th century, the house of Fabergé was known for adorning the Russian Imperial Court with opulent jewelry and gem-encrusted objets, ingeniously designed by founder Peter Carl Fabergé.

Relaunched in 2009, the luxurious line now brings its updated Belle Époque styles to its first New York boutique, an Upper East Side jewel box, replete with silk curtains, lush purple accents and a Versailles-like dollhouse (complete with mini-ghost) designed by the company’s creative and managing director, Katharina Flohr.

Popular brands include Diesel, Scotch & Soda, Ben Sherman, Penguin and Levi’s, and customers can take a shopping break at several dance music listening stations. » Universal Gear, 715 Ninth Ave., 212.757.2927

Boutiques full of vintage couture abound in this town, but for those seeking home furnishings from eras gone by, there was little middle ground between antiques shops and thrift stores—until now. Décor NYC (below) applies the consignment-store concept to furniture and housewares, stocking its 6,000 square feet of space with mint-condition pieces, ranging from Art Nouveau antiques to midcentury vintage to contemporary names, such as Holly Hunt and Donghia. Its sources include designer showrooms, trade-show samples, decorators with excess inventory and consumers who would rather recycle, than toss, their treasures. » Décor NYC, 159 W. 25th St., 212.488.4977

W

ith a 24-karat pedigree, business school degree and golden girl looks, native New Yorker Ivanka Trump is an icon of glamour, elegance and privilege. Dad (Donald J. Trump) is a legendary entrepreneur whose name is synonymous with “luxury property.” Mom (Ivana Trump) is a Czech-born former Olympic skier and model who ran high-profile hotel projects before launching a line of cosmetics and perfumes. But make no mistake. Although she was to the empire born, Ivanka, 30, is a powerhouse in her own right.

As executive vice president of development and acquisitions at The Trump Organization (with direct influence on the guy at the top), she works along with her brothers, Donald Jr. and Eric, to oversee domestic and global expansion of the firm’s real estate interests. At the same time, her namesake jewelry collection, Ivanka Trump Fine Jewelry, is sold at her flagship store in SoHo, as well as in more than 80 international boutiques and department stores. “My desire to launch a jewelry collection came from my love of structure and architecture, along with my appreciation for the classics,” she says.

“Heirloom-chic is the creative vision behind my jewelry line. I like to put a modern twist on classic jewelry.”

She is particularly excited about her newest trio of Art Deco collections: “Belle Époque,” inspired by late-19thand early-20th-century Paris; “Lao Tong,” an emeraldbased, Chinese-influenced collection; and “Gilded Cage,” a contemporary twist on a classic American style using bold gemstones. “I love the idea of combining three different aesthetics from three different countries during the same time period,” she says. “I’m also thrilled to be introducing colored stones for the first time,” noting that her collections have traditionally been black and white. “Emeralds are one of the hottest gemstones and a personal favorite.”

Not satisfied with a successful jewelry line, in 2010 she launched the Ivanka Trump Footwear Collection and Ivanka Trump Handbags. Her first outerwear line was introduced last fall; her first clothing line this spring. “With shoes and with clothing, it’s really possible to create great quality pieces that stand the test of time, that are beautiful, that are chic, that are luxurious, in more affordable price brackets. That was very key to me,” she says. “The person I have in mind when I’m designing is the young, professional, driven woman like myself.”

Speaking of being professional and driven, shortly after the release of her best-selling first book, The Trump Card: Playing to Win in Work and Life (Touchstone, 2009), she became involved (along with Elizabeth Gore and Jordan’s Queen

Rania) in the U.N. Foundation’s Girl Up program, dedicated to bringing awareness and career skills to young women worldwide.

She and her brothers founded the Trump Hotel Collection in 2007, and she continues to spearhead interior design decisions for the properties, providing the creative vision for the brand as a whole. Recently, Ivanka oversaw the $8-million total renovation of Trump International Hotel & Tower New York’s concourse level, and designed the property’s über-luxurious new spa. She’ll have similar responsibilities with Doral Golf Resort & Spa in Florida, the company’s newest acquisition. In fact, she flew down to Miami to clinch the deal only eight days after giving birth to Arabella, her daughter (with husband Jared Kushner, real estate heir and publisher of The New York Observer), who turns one year old on Jul. 17.

In her corner office in Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue, she monitors everything that goes on in her baby’s nursery by viewing a video feed on her desktop computer screen. The paparazzi, however, probably won’t get a glimpse of the child for some time. As her own parents did with her while she was growing up, Ivanka plans to protect Arabella from the media as much as possible. “I don’t think I have ever known anything other than living in a fishbowl,” she says.

“My parents were very public figures, and that was my childhood experience. They did shelter us to the best of their ability, but I would go to school and have hordes of photographers standing outside my classrooms. So you build up a certain callousness, and that’s good. If I didn’t have that, I don’t know that I’d be tough.”

Somehow, Ivanka and her husband of three years have a family life that she calls “mellow.” How so? “We go to the park. We go biking together. We go to the 2nd Ave. Deli.”

On the other hand, she describes her schedule: “Usually, I wake up, feed Arabella, exercise, read through a copious amount of newspapers and arrive at the office somewhere between 7:30 and 8 a.m. My days are often filled with meetings regarding everything from hotel design to building management to jewelry initiatives to new deal development to marketing strategy. Sometimes, I also film for Celebrity Apprentice,” the NBC TV show on which she appears as a boardroom advisor with her father.

Exhausting, perhaps, but as Ivanka recently explained to her more than 1,345,000 Twitter followers: “You start to respect the duck—paddle like hell under the water, and be smooth and calm on top where everyone can see you.” Spoken like a true empress.

“The person I have in mind when I’m designing is the young, professional, driven woman, like myself.”

Has there ever been another city that shines as brightly? Aside from the video displays in Times Square and the Empire State Building’s colorful display of nighttime lights, New York boasts stars of every magnitude, from the twinkling ones in the sky to the celebrities at the pinnacle of their careers. by Jill fergus Celestial Bodies

Never mind the bright lights of the big city—you can see stars in New York’s night sky. One of the most popular sites for stargazing is the High Line, where members of the Amateur Astronomers Association of New York hold public observing sessions every Tuesday, weather permitting, beginning at dusk (approximately 8:30 p.m. during the month of July). Hundreds of passersby, from local couples taking a postprandial stroll to visitors from around the world, “are always surprised and delighted to discover they can do real astronomy in the city,” says Michael O’Gara, past president of the Association.

“Light pollution notwithstanding, bright objects, such as Jupiter, Saturn, star clusters and the moon, are easily seen

through our telescopes,” which are set up near the 14th St. entrance to the elevated park. On very clear nights, O’Gara and his colleagues may even focus their scopes on galaxies, nebulae and other distant, deep-sky objects.

Generations of science enthusiasts have learned even more about the universe at the state-of-the-art Hayden Planetarium within the American Museum of Natural History’s Rose Center for Earth and Space (W. 81st St., at Central Park West, 212.769.5100). The current space show, Journey to the Stars, was created in conjunction with NASA; narrated by Whoopi Goldberg (a star in her own right), it immerses audiences in the galaxy using computer simulations and photos taken from land and space telescopes.

Luminous Talents

New York is jam-packed with celebrities, who come here to live, play and, most of all, work. Many a famed career started here—especially in the restaurant field, thanks to the rock-star esteem accorded chefs in this gastronomic town. “New York is the food capital of the world,” declares Aarón Sánchez, the son of celebrated Mexican cooking authority Zarela Martinez and an award-winning chef and TV toque in his own right. “It’s such a melting pot of cultures that almost every type of cuisine is represented, from fine dining to street food.” Chef Sánchez’s contribution to the culinary constellation can be sampled nightly at Centrico (211 W. Broadway, 212.431.0700) where, using “unique combinations of ingredients, enhanced with exotic spices and chiles,” he puts a modern spin on regional Mexican specialties, such as slow-roasted pork shoulder or seafood frittatas.

Another megawatt chef is Masaharu Morimoto, star of both the original Japanese and American versions of the competitive cooking show Iron Chef. At his glittering Morimoto (88 10th Ave., 212.989.8883), guests can sample a full omikase dinner, with courses done in the toque’s characteristic East-meets-West style, or indulge in ingenious rolls at the 24-seat sushi bar. Then there’s Mario Batali, whose Italian restaurant empire ranges from casual-chic Otto Enoteca (1 Fifth Ave., 212.995.9559) for pizzas topped with asparagus and goat cheese to elegant Babbo (110 Waverly Pl., 212.777.0303) for refined yet hearty cuisine. One of Batali’s most recent ventures is Eataly (200 Fifth Ave., 212.229.2560), a bustling 50,000-square-foot emporium/food hall for all things Italian: Cognoscenti can savor authentic Ligurian pesto at one of the counter restaurants, pick up some imported kitchenware, get fingers sticky with a pistachio gelato to go, or sip a Birra Del Borgo in the rooftop beer garden.

A similar, if more eclectic, counter-restaurant concept exists at the Todd English Food Hall (The Plaza Food Hall, 1 W. 59th St., 212.986.9260), the brainchild of Chef Todd English, who gained national attention with his rustic Mediterranean cuisine at Olives (W New York–Union

Square, 201 Park Ave. So., 212.353.8345) and now oversees a company that includes restaurants nationwide, cookbooks, TV shows and a housewares line. Still, he can sometimes be seen at the sprawling, subterranean series of food stations, cooking some of the smorgasbord of treats, which range from flatbread pizza (a signature English item) to pork dumplings to Maine lobster.

New York is also the epicenter of American theater, and this summer is an especially starry one on Broadway.

James Earl Jones, Candice Bergen and John Larroquette are among the bevy of boldface names appearing in The Best Man (Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre, 236 W. 45th St., 212.239.6200). Matthew Broderick and Kelli O’Hara star in Nice Work If You Can Get It (Imperial Theatre, 249 W. 45th St., 212.239.6200), dancing to and crooning classic George and Ira Gershwin songs such as “’S Wonderful,” “Someone to Watch Over Me” and the titular tune. Broadway darling Audra McDonald and her luscious lyric soprano light up the stage in The Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess (Richard Rodgers Theatre, 226 W. 46th

A more fanciful form of stargazing is offered at Grand Central Terminal (E. 42nd St., at Park Ave.)—the gold-leaf constellations on the teal-colored, vaulted 1912 sky ceiling that arches above the main concourse; fiber optics provide their gentle glow. Vincent van Gogh often had his head in the stars, but the Postimpressionist sure could paint. “The Starry Night,” his midnight-blue masterpiece of swirling brushstrokes, is one of the signature works at the Museum of Modern Art (11 W. 53rd St., 212.708.9400).

Other stars are shooting across the horizon. Academy Award-winning actress Cate Blanchett undertakes Yelena, Chekhov’s sensual, sensitive heroine, in the Lincoln Center Festival production of Uncle Vanya (New York City Center, 131 W. 55th St., 212.581.1212, Jul. 19-28), set in the Soviet era of the mid-1950s. Veteran song-and-dance man Ben Vereen performs at the new nightclub 54 Below (254 W. 54th St., 866.468.7619, Jul. 10-21). “We only go below to rise above!” jokes Vereen, whose one-man show includes his renditions of tunes made famous by other local showbiz legends, such as Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr., interspersed with personal anecdotes. “To perform in New York City is to perform at the quintessential home base of the arts,” says Vereen. “To be a part of the theater and to feel the vibrational pull of the people who are drawn there to experience it at its finest is a true blessing.”

Most fleeting of all is the appearance of composer/trumpeter Chris Botti, who offers his characteristic fusion of jazz and pop for one night only (Beacon Theatre, 2124 Broadway, 866.858.0008, Jul. 24).

Other New York luminaries shine on the baseball diamond. Derek Jeter, the longtime shortstop (and perennial all-star) of the New York Yankees, has a flair for the dramatic (he reached IN New YORK | july 2012 | innewyork.com

The Fashion Firmament

One-third of the clothes made in the United States are designed and manufactured right here, the fashion capital of the world—and one of the greatest shopping cities on the planet. Stellar designers with Fifth Avenue flagships include Giorgio Armani (717 Fifth Ave., 212.339.5950),

30

Salvatore Ferragamo (663 Fifth Ave., 212.759.3822) and Michael Kors Rockefeller Center (610 Fifth Ave., 212.582.2444). High-powered names such as Tom Ford (845 Madison Ave., 212.359.0300), Calvin Klein (654 Madison Ave., 212.292.9000) and Christian Louboutin (965 MadisonAve.,212.396.1884) occupy prime real estate on upper Madison Avenue. Ralph Lauren has not one, but two major venues, facing each other across the avenue at E. 72nd St.: his men’s store (867 Madison Ave., 212.606.2100), housed in a 19th-century Renaissance Revival mansion, and a Beaux Arts-style building (888 Madison Ave., 212.434.8000) built expressly for his womenswear collections. Not to mention the boutiques for babies and children a block to the south.

Not that all the starry action is Uptown. Diane von Furstenberg, creator of the famous wrap dress worn by everyone from Kate Hudson to Anne Hathaway, is often spotted in her flagship boutique in the Meatpacking District (874 Washington St., 646.486.4800), while SoHo is home to the recently opened flagship of English designer Stella McCartney

his milestone 3,000th hit with a home run last season, and he’s moving up the all-time hits leaderboard). Fans can catch the team captain and his fellow pin-striped players, such as A-Rod and Mark Teixeira, at Yankee Stadium (161st St., at River Ave., 718.293.6000) in the Bronx.

Out in Queens, Citi Field (123-01 Roosevelt Ave., 718.507.8499), home to the New York Mets, is where red-hot third baseman David Wright and pitching ace Johan Santana— whose recent no-hitter was the first in Mets history—are steering the Amazin’ boys of summer toward what they hope is a winning season (you gotta believe!).

Miuccia Prada herself is the co-star of an exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute (1000 Fifth Ave., 212.535.7710, thru Aug. 19). Schia-

parelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations explores parallels between Prada and Elsa Schiaparelli, the great Italian couturier of the 1930s to 1950s. In addition to displaying historic works from these two mainstays of moda Italiana, the exhibit offers several short films by director Baz Luhrmann, depicting exchanges between the two designers (actress Judy Davis plays Schiaparelli).

Sartorial star tributes don’t just reside in museums, however. On the east side of Seventh (a.k.a Fashion) Avenue, from W. 35th to W. 41st streets—an area known as the Garment District—are large, circular bronze plaques embedded in the pavement. Each contains the name and a minibio of top U.S. designers: giants of the past, such as Mainbocher, Norman Norell, Bill Blass and Geoffrey Beene; and current icons, including Norma Kamali, Klein and Lauren. “Visitors can see, in a few block stretch, some of the biggest stars in the fashion world along the Fashion Walk of Fame—the only permanent monument to American fashion,” says Barbara Blair Randall, president of the Fashion Center Business Improvement District. “There’s no better place to celebrate all the talented American designers that have contributed to not only the domestic fashion scene, but the global scene as well.”

Be it up in the sky or down on the sidewalk, no matter where you look in NYC, you’re assured of seeing stars.

With its tightly packed buildings and intensive network of tunnels and bridges, Manhattan hardly seems isolated. But it is an island, nonetheless, with a 32-mile coastline. Small wonder that some of its greatest adventures lie on the water.

T

he Trip’s the Thing Almost every local cruise operator focuses on New York Harbor, mixing spectacular sights, slightly salty air and the thrill of water travel into a magical cocktail. In guided 60- or 90-minute tours, the enclosed vessels of CitySightseeing Cruises New York (Pier 78, 455 12th Ave, at W. 38th St., 212.445.7599) glide past the iconic Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and a trio of bridges—the Brooklyn, the Manhattan and the Williamsburg; the longer voyages also take in Midtown landmarks, from the Art Deco Empire State Building to the gleaming United Nations perched on the edge of the East River. The most memorable vistas occur during early-evening departures, when the cityscape is framed by the setting sun.

Hornblower Cruises (Hornblower Landing, Pier 40, 353 West St., 212.337.0001) also offers elegant, four-course meals, plying Gotham’s blue brine in green fashion: The Hornblower Hybrid, the newest member of its four-ship fleet, is powered by solar panels and wind turbines, providing eco-conscious visitors with a low-impact loop around lower Manhattan.

Freshly remodeled, the luxury yacht Zephyr (Pier 16, South Street Seaport, 866.985.2542) boasts plush upholstered booths in its closed, climate-controlled decks, as well as an open top deck. Full-service bars trimmed in mahogany allow patrons to drink in potables as well as behind-thescenes sights on its Hidden Harbor Tours. On the Brooklyn Tour (Jul. 10), for example, the Zephyr heads along the East River past the historic Brooklyn Navy Yard—recently turned

to civilian use after more than 150 years of military duty— the new Brooklyn Bridge Park and commercial terminals.

Despite such extensive development, New York Harbor remains a major avian flyway. Teaming up with Audubon Society experts, New York Water Taxi (Pier 17, South Street Seaport, 866.989.2542) offers the birds’ perspective, if not a bird’s-eye view, on its weekly NYC Audubon EcoCruises, which traverse Jamaica Bay and small islands that house various waterfowl. The residents aren’t disturbed, thanks to the vessels’ low-wake hulls and hospital-grade mufflers.

G

oing Places As its name suggests, New York Water Taxi also furnishes transport, with a Hop On/Hop Off service that stops at various docks (including Christopher St., Battery Park and DUMBO, Brooklyn), allowing passengers to explore neighborhoods and sights. The Battery Park stop, for example, is within walking distance of the National September 11 Memorial (request a free pass when buying the NYWT ticket).

Some of New York City’s most iconic attractions can be reached only by boat.

6/11/12 11:42:48 AM

In fact, some of the city’s most enduring attractions can only be reached by boat—notably the Ellis Island Immigration Museum, onetime arrival point for millions of immigrants, and the Statue of Liberty, their one-woman welcome committee. Statue Cruises (17 State St., 201.604.2800) heads to both (doable in one day, if you set out in the morning). The free ferry to Governors Island departs from the Battery Maritime Building terminal (10 South St.), an Easter egg-colored, Beaux Arts confection of cast and wrought iron; it’s a fast ride back in time to the green isle, dotted with red-brick buildings, ruins of forts and contemporary art installations, that seems to rise out of the water to greet you.

An even more exotic place, by New Yorkers’ standards, is the Garden State. The SeaStreak Ferry catamaran (Pier 11, at Wall & South sts., or E. 35th St., at the East River, 800.262.8743) offers an easy, hourlong commute, complete with sundeck and a glorious harbor view, to Gateway National Park in Sandy Hook, N.J.—a haven for swimmers, hikers and birdwatchers.

N

autical Thrills Sometimes, the ride itself is the attraction. Sporting a painted toothy grin on its bow, the Shark Speedboat Thrill Ride (Pier 16, South Street Seaport, 866.985.2542) tears around the tip of lower Manhattan for 30 minutes, churning up excitement and spray as it passes the Financial District before zipping back to the pier. The Beast, a neon-green, red-jawed vessel operated by Circle Line Sightseeing Cruises (Pier 83, W. 42nd St., at the Hudson River, 212.563.3200), charges south from Midtown at 45 miles an hour, pausing only for a photo op with the ever-obliging Lady Liberty.

Slow-moving traditionalists may prefer to see her the oldfashioned way, from seats on the Pioneer (Pier 16, South Street Seaport, 866.985.2542), a restored double-masted

19th-century schooner that sails out of South Street Seaport, under the Brooklyn Bridge and around the harbor.

An even more retro boating experience is available at the Central Park Lake Loeb Boathouse (E. 72nd St., at Park Dr. No., 212.517.2233). An authentic Venetian gondola, complete with gondolier, can be rented for parties of six; rumor has it that the oarsman can be persuaded to sing.

S

taying in Port Finally, there are vessels that transport people by going nowhere, amid crying seagulls and the slap of waves. Case in point: the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum (Pier 86, 12th Ave., at W. 46th St., 212.245.0072), a repurposed World War II aircraft carrier moored on the Hudson. Vintage military flying machines are preserved on deck; the latest exhibit, opening Jul. 19, is the Enterprise, the never-flown space shuttle prototype. Before being decommissioned, the Lightship Frying Pan (Pier 66 Maritime, 12th Ave., at W. 26th St., 212.989.6363) illuminated the dangerous shoals off Cape Fear, N.C.; now, docked alongside Hudson River Park, it reopens every summer as a shabby-chic bar and grill with much of its original décor intact. Summertime lounge The Crow’s Nest, situated on a stationary barge atop restaurant The Water Club (East River, btw E. 28th & E. 32nd sts., 212.683.3333), aims for a loftier vibe, serving oysters and seasonally appropriate cocktails, such as bourbon iced tea and vodka-spiked lemonade. Bargemusic (Fulton Ferry Landing, Brooklyn, 718.624.2083), a coffee barge transformed into a cozy concert hall under the Brooklyn Bridge, anchors fans of chamber music; this month’s lineup includes noted pianist Ursula Oppens (Jul. 7-8) and the Flux Quartet, a modern-oriented string ensemble (Jul. 6, 11 & 18).

In short, it’s easy to cruise around town, sail to not-sodistant shores or visit floating destinations. Bon voyage!

THE SPLENDID ETOILE PARISIAN ELEGANCE WITH A VIEW

Discover the lovely quiet hotels of Paris found right next to the famous luxury palaces. These are exceptional addresses that one will enjoy giving to friends from abroad or out of town looking for all that is genuine. The Splendid Étoile, located just steps away from the Arc de Triomphe, offers this much sought-after subtle charm and gentle luxury.

Nestled in a beautiful building made of dimension stones, erected in 1880, the hotel Splendid Étoile represents one of the most beautiful examples of Haussmannien style architecture. The rooms and suites, carefully decorated by the architect Laurent Moreau, skilfully bring together contemporary design and romanticism in a subtle mix of precious fabrics, clean lines and soft blue furniture highlighted by a touch of coral coloured details.

What makes these rooms unique is the most breathtakingly beautiful view that one could ever see of the Arc de Triomphe and the Place de l’Étoile. The hotel is also known for its delicious food: the Pré Carré restaurant offers the very best of traditional French cuisine, highlighted by a few audacious touches of modernity.

Join the Team In summertime, opportunities for outdoor exercise include a surprising number of spur-of-the-moment team sports. No equipment required, no fee charged. “All you really have to do is show up,” says Keoni Boyer, concierge at the Gansevoort Meatpacking NYC. A big soccer fan, he often heads to the Chinatown soccer field near the intersection of Grand and Chrystie streets in the late afternoon or weekends for a pickup match. “We avoid slide tackles,” Boyer notes. “These are friendly games.” Ultimate frisbee fans can enjoy a round of disc-flinging on weekends at “the Dust Bowl,” a dry patch of ground north of the Central Park reservoir (enter at 98th St. & Fifth Ave.). Boyer advises basketball players to check out the competitive action at the West 4th Street Courts, a.k.a. “The Cage.” It’s a popular spot, so you may only get to play one game before surrendering the space to others who are waiting; however, at the hoops courts on Central Park’s Great Lawn, the winning team of one game stays on to play the next team. Best times to go: weekdays at lunch hour or just after 5 p.m. All these impromptu TIPS FROM: games, which often are coed, are “a great way to meet Keoni Boyer, Concierge, Gannew people,” but if you prefer a solo workout, Boyer sevoort Meatpacking recommends Hudson River Park’s jogging path along NYC, 18 Ninth Ave., 212.206.6700 the water, which affords picturesque views as you get the adrenaline pumping.—Mackenzie Allison KEY TO SYMBOLS IN LISTINGS On the following pages, important features are indicated by these icons: $ inexpensive, $$ mod­erate, $$$ ex­pensive, $$$$ luxe; 2 handicap accessible; 0 gifts; 1 child friendly; 3 food/snacks; / drinks; 9 gay/lesbian patrons; 6 dress code; 5 music; . private rooms; 7 fireplace; 8 outdoor dining; 4 New York CityPASS.
