Peace for Now

Art transcends politics. No better proof of this dictum exists than the return of Russia’s Bolshoi Ballet to the Lincoln Center Festival for the first time since 2000. Let Washington and Moscow wrangle, détente has been declared at Lincoln Center, where the troupe performs three crowd-pleasing classics from its repertoire: Swan Lake (right), Don Quixote and Spartacus. | The Bolshoi Ballet, David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center, Columbus Ave., at W. 63rd St.,212.721.6500, Jul. 15-27

Made in NYC “There is a prevailing perception that New York in the digital age is no longer a city of skilled makers, when, in fact, craftsmanship continues to flourish throughout the five boroughs,” says director of the Museum of Arts and Design, Glenn Adamson. Just how skilled and prolific these makers are is the premise of the museum’s new exhibition, a showcase for 100 local stone carvers, milliners, set designers, instrument makers and more.

Among them is Brooklyn-based potter Nicole Cherubini, whose clay and mixed-media work, “Astralogy,” 2013, reconciles craft and fine art. | NYC Makers: The MAD Biennial, Museum of Arts and Design, 2 Columbus Circle, 212.299.7777, Jul. 1-Oct. 12

Siren of Song

When jazz vocalist Cécile McLorin Salvant steps before a microphone, audiences sit up and take notice—and not just because the white, thickframed glasses she wears are so instantly memorable. No, what truly sets this Grammynominated twentysomething apart is her perfect intonation, impeccable phrasing and diction, and direct approach to telling the story of a song through its lyrics. This month, Salvant, accompanied by the Bill Charlap Trio, devotes her concert on Jul. 30 at the 92nd St. Y’s Jazz in July festival to her primary influence and heroine, Sarah Vaughan. | Jazz in July 2014, 92nd St. Y, 1395 Lexington Ave., 212.415.5500, Jul. 22-31

theater news by Francis Lewis

A New Jersey Boy Jersey Boys, the musical about Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, has been running on Broadway since 2005 and in London since 2008. In an example of cultural exchange at its best, Ryan Molloy, who originated the role of Valli in the West End, reprises it with the New York cast beginning Jul. 29. A year ago, the actor from the north of England sang with Barbra Streisand on the London leg of her European tour.

If he thought that experience was “surreal,” wait until he gets to the Great White Way. | Jersey Boys, August Wilson Theatre, 245 W. 52nd St., 212.239.6200

“I treat the audience as if they were mates. We’re sitting around, and I’m telling a few stories.

Sounds bloody boring, but I promise you it’s not!”

—Jim Dale, author and star of his one-man, Off-Broadway show, Just Jim Dale

Barrett Foa has something that most young actors would give their eyeteeth for: a recurring role in a hit TV show, NCIS: Los Angeles.

So, why is the Manhattan native spending his summer break not on a beach, but in his hometown, starring in Buyer & Cellar, a one-man, Off-Broadway comedy in which he plays six characters, including Barbra Streisand and the out-of-work actor she has hired to tend her beyond-extensive collection of stuff? “Putting challenges in front of you and meeting them: That’s how you grow as an actor and person,” Foa mused during rehearsals recently. “Some people may call me a masochist, I call myself an artiste.” Make that: dedicated artist.

For more of Barrett Foa’s interview and why his goal in life (his words) is to be David Hyde Pierce, go to innewyork .com/editors blog. | Buyer & Cellar, Barrow Street Theatre, 27 Barrow St., 212.868.4444

Take Your Pick

Can’t make up your mind which Broadway or Off-Broadway musical to see? Do as you do when you choose a movie: Watch a trailer. Or in this case, a live preview of the city’s most tuneful shows when cast members entertain every Thurs at 106.7 LITE FM’s Broadway in Bryant Park. Offerings at the free lunchtime concerts range from long-running Stomp (Jul. 10) to the newly crowned Tony-winning Best Musical of 2014, A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder (Jul. 31). A minimum of four shows perform each week, so there’s plenty to choose from. Truth is, you’ll want to see them all. | 106.7 LITE FM’s Broadway in Bryant Park, Bryant Park, Sixth Ave., btw W. 40th & W. 42nd sts., bryantpark.org, Jul. 10-Aug. 14

the after-dark scene by William G. Frierson IV

Red Tide, Stageside

Brooklyn Class

On a gritty stretch of Williamsburg that’s a far cry from pristine Park Ave. lies Huckleberry Bar, a cocktail den that has the chops to challenge Manhattan’s finest.

The tattooed bartenders (welcome to the ‘hood) approach drink-making with masterful precision (a Negroni on the spacious, tiered backyard deck

KGB Bar has been on the East Village literary scene since the early 1990s, serving up drinks with a side of live poetry and prose. Upstairs in the new Red Room (sense the quasi-commie theme?), the tradition lives on. In the bohemian, 32-seat space—with an offbeat décor that combines speakeasy grunge, Art Deco elements and a large copper bathtub (no bathing allowed)— guests are encouraged to caress a White Lady (gin, Cointreau, lemon juice, egg white) while soaking up some house jazz or a quirky, grad-student vaudeville performance (another round, quick). | Red Room at KGB Bar, 85 E. 4th St., 3rd fl., 212.787.0155

Forget the “ladies who lunch”—The Rose Club, in all its magenta and gold-hued opulence, is for ladies (and men) who lounge. Think: plush velvets, pink chandeliers and carefully placed throw pillows. Live Jazz (Kat Gang on Wed. at 9 p.m., Lapis Luna on Thurs. at 8:30 p.m.) is an intimate touch. | The Rose Club, The Plaza hotel, lobby mezzanine, 768 Fifth Ave., 212.759.3000

is a delight). Weekly 90-minute lessons in advanced cocktail theory (every Thurs, by reservation) combine evening education and inebriation. | Huckleberry Bar, 588 Grand St., Brooklyn, 718.218.8555

A cocktail hideaway is tucked above an unassuming West Village Five Guys—you just have to be in the know to find it. Up unmarked stairs in the burger joint’s rear (a patty slinger will stoically point you there), you’ll encounter The Garret. It’s a world apart: The insider’s drinking nook has tin ceilings, custom murals by artist Bradley Theodore (who was on-site to clink glasses) and powerful, refined cocktails. The Capote & Friends (bison-grass-infused vodka, St.-Germain, strawberry, cucumber, lime) brings to mind freshly cut lawns and laundry on the line. After a few, a burger from below may be called for. Luckily, they can be eaten right at the bar. | The Garret, 296 Bleecker St., 2nd fl., no phone

Madeline Madness

In honor of the 75th anniversary of the publication of Madeline, one of the most revered children’s books of all time, the New-York Historical Society presents an exhibition of more than 90 original artworks by Ludwig Bemelmans, the writer and illustrator of the Madeline books. The exhibit also includes other Bemelmans drawings, murals from a rediscovered Paris bistro, Madeline panels from Christina O, the Aristotle Onassis yacht, and a cache of fabrics based on an early picture book. | New-York Historical Society, 170 Central Park West, 212.873.3400, opens Jul. 4

Vince, a luxury apparel brand, has just come out with its first Vince Kids collection. The Madison Ave. store offers clothing for children ages 4 to 14, featuring casual, comfortable items such as the double-layer hoodie and straight-leg 5-pocket jean (boy, above left) and the wrap seam French terry pants, rib tank and dolman top (girl, above right). Other popular styles include faux fur vests and scuba leather jackets. Vince is also available at Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale’s, Barneys New York and Bergdorf Goodman. | Vince, 980 Madison Ave., 646.560.2897

Banana custard pie (right) is one of the many desserts that will tickle your child’s sweet tooth at ChikaLicious.

The restaurant offers a three-course prix fixe menu of desserts: That’s right, just desserts. Additional sweet addons are available for $8. Remember: A family that goes into a sugar coma together, stays together. | ChikaLicious Dessert Bar, 203 E. 10th St., 212.995.9511

Jane’s Carousel was bought by Jane and David Walentas in the 1980s and painstakingly restored to its original 1922 glory. Today, it is a fully operating ride, dazzling riders with its 1,200 lights and 48 carved horses. | Jane’s

At the new Spiders Alive! exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History, visitors not only learn everything there is to know about these creepy crawly arachnids that inhabit every continent but Antarctica, (including larger-than-life fossils and videos), but museum staffers are on hand to show you the real thing. Yucky cool. | American Museum of Natural History, Central Park West, at W. 79th St., 212.769.5100, opens Jul. 4

Another new Bonpoint has opened in SoHo. The upscale children‘s apparel store is as lovely as the clothing, with Turkish kilim carpets, a handsome chandelier, wooden cabinets and vintage furniture. The new SoHo 2014 collection, sold exclusively at the new location, incudes limited-editon Liberty print dresses, bags, swimsuits, broaches, soaps and candles. And, as an added bonus, you can feel good about spending your money here: A portion of the sales are donated to the New Yorkers for Children Charity. | Bonpoint, 398 W. Broadway, 917.261.5541

great dining experiences by Lois Levine and

William G. Frierson IV

Fast and Fabulous

Down in Mexico

Gaby Brasserie, in the luxurious Sofitel hotel in the Theater District, provides both an elegant environment and a fresh, delightful menu that gives a nod toward healthfulness and flavor. Green-and-black marble flooring, rust-colored fabric-and-leather banquettes and purple drapes lend an almost royal allure to the room. The midday menu offers a 30-minute lunch—perfect for a brief business meeting or a quick meal before catching a matinee. On this late-spring day, it was a light white bean soup, smoked salmon wrapped around greens, and a delicate monkfish, sitting atop quinoa with Moroccan spices. A luxurious repast, wrapped in a time-efficient presentation.

Now that’s New York! | Gaby Brasserie, 44 W. 45th St., 212.782.3040

The buzz hits you upon entering newcomer Horchata—clinking glasses and choruses of “pass the guac” (get the trio: classic; verde, with apple and cucumber; and rojo, with a chipotle-habanero zing). Go for pork belly tacos, with pineapple and chipotle aioli; and grilled mahi-mahi. The namesake rice milk drink—spiked with rum, vanilla vodka and Kahlúa, and served in a monkey-shaped clay vessel—makes it a fiesta. | Horchata, 470 Sixth Ave., 212.243.8226

Harlem Hot Spot Back in the 1930s, Minton’s was a well-known NYC jazz club, flourishing through the 1960s, until it shuttered its doors in the early 1970s. Recently, the club has been reincarnated, adding a tantalizing American “low country” menu—a cuisine that focuses on regions of South Carolina and the Georgia coast. Think: seafood, soups flavored with black-eyed peas and fried okra croutons, and sweet potato ricotta dumplings. An apple salad (left) makes a nice counterpoint to the rich dishes. The narrow room exudes luxe supperclub glamour, with gold silk-taffeta drapes and candlelit tables. Live jazz starts most nights at 7 p.m. Harlem never looked—or tasted—so good. | Minton’s, 206 W. 118th St., 212.243.2222

Pearls (this is Tiffany & Co.’s) Ziegfeld pearl necklace) were a favorite of the movie star.

Miss Monroe was a fan of the Erno Laszlo skin care line, available at the company’s The Institute.

ne w YORK Hollywood’s blonde bombshell also had a particular passion for the Big Apple.

Marilyn: The Lost Photos of a Hollywood StaR—an exhibit of previously unseen pics—is in town this month (Esoteric’s RASA TriBeCa, 37 Walker St., 212.920.6472, Jul. 23-Aug. 6). Welcome as it is, New York doesn’t need a collection of photos to remember the magnificent Miss Monroe. Though a creation of Hollywood, she was no stranger to New York City, not just visiting, but actually living here for long stretches. And even though 60 years have passed since she left us, we can still tour the places where the screen goddess worked and played, studied and ate, glittered for her public or sought some personal time.

Shoppers can patronize Marilyn’s favorite local department stores: Bloomingdale’s (1000 Third Ave., 212.705.2000) and Saks Fifth Avenue (611 Fifth Ave., 212.753.4000), where her penchant for going without underwear reportedly shocked the salesgirls. She maintained her radiant complexion with the Erno Laszlo skin care line; you can maintain your own at the company’s The Institute (382 W. Broad-

way, 212.300.4111), which sells products created by its namesake dermatologist to the stars.

Marilyn also visited many of NYC’s landmark attractions, sometimes for publicity, sometimes for pleasure. She twice appeared at Madison Square Garden: once in March 1955, riding an elephant for a circus charity event; another, in May 1962, singing a breathy “Happy Birthday to You” at President John F. Kennedy’s birthday gala. Though the Garden is in a different spot now (Seventh Ave., btw W. 31st & W. 33rd sts., 212.465.6741), it still hosts charismatic entertainers (including Michael Bublé on Jul. 7 and 8, and Katy Perry on Jul. 9)—along with tours of the premises.

Since Marilyn moved to New York to study acting, it’s

“I love that bridge,” Marilyn said of the city’s grand Brooklyn Bridge.

The stunning star at Niagara Falls, 1952.

not surprising she attended many Broadway shows, including the opening night of A View From the Bridge by her soon-to-be third husband, Arthur Miller, at the Coronet Theatre in September 1955. Now named the Eugene O’Neill Theatre, the theater is currently occupied by the hit musical, The Book of Mormon (230 W. 49th St., 212.239.6200). She also made the rounds of many a West Side watering hole, including the ‘21’ club (21 W. 52nd St., 212.582.7200) and Sardi’s (234 W. 44th St., 212.221.8440).

Before she took up residence here, the actress was in and out of the city’s hotels. She visited or stayed with Joe DiMaggio at what is now The Lexington New York City (511 Lexington Ave., 212.755.4400); you can even rent the Centerfield Suite, the baseball-themed penthouse the hotel says the pair occupied. In autumn 1954, with Marilyn in town to film The Seven Year Itch, the couple took rooms at The St. Regis New York (Fifth Ave., at 55th St., 212.753.4500).

The following spring, after their separation and Marilyn’s

move to New York, the star sublet a place in the Towers of the Waldorf Astoria (100 E. 50th St., 212.355.3100), an opulent, all-suites section atop the luxury hotel.

Six months later, she took an apartment at 2 Sutton Pl. So. In 1957, she and new husband Miller rented a flat around the corner, at 444 E. 57th St., an apartment she kept until her death. Situated east of First Avenue, between E. 53rd and E. 59th sts., Sutton Place is a quiet, residential boulevard—ideal for a stroll, with two pocket parks whose benches overlook the East River and the 59th Street Bridge.

Though mainly a Manhattan girl, Marilyn got to know parts of Brooklyn via Miller, who grew up there. The Brooklyn Bridge entranced her: “I love that bridge. Everything is beautiful from there and the air is so clean … walking it seems peaceful even with all those cars going crazy underneath,” she once wrote.

Perhaps the most famous Marilyn Monroe-related New York site is the most humble: some grates on Lexington Ave., at E. 52nd St., where the movie star perched on the vents, delighting in the wind from the subway as it lifted her dress in The Seven Year Itch. Trains still run below the avenue, and as night falls, you might even imagine a white skirt billowing in the breeze.

Spectacular art and experimental entertainment to spark all five senses.

In the city that never sleeps, the diversity of activities alone can be enough to take your breath away. Theater, museums, nightlife—you name it, it’s here, which is why we’ve created the ultimate guide to blowing your mind, chock-full of must-see places for a uniquely New York sensory overload.

Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Earthly wonder For all of history, humans have been fascinated by this spinning green planet and the residents who call it home. The American Museum of Natural History (Central Park West, at W. 79th St., 212.769.5100) pays tribute to this universal obsession in Mysteries of the Unseen World (thru Jul. 6). Using cuttingedge technology, including electron microscopy and time-lapse photography, the trippy IMAX film estranges viewers from the otherwise familiar aspects of this world—from the too-slowto-notice (the decaying process of plants) to the faster-than-the-human-eye (a corn kernel exploding into popcorn). The film also touches on the hair-raising qualities of lightning and the aspirational goal of building an elevator to space. The museum continues its planetary exploration, this time to the stars, at the Rose Center for Earth and Space, where astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson’s brawny voice explains the Big Bang, black holes and cosmic expansion on an interstellar

journey through the Milky Way Galaxy and beyond in Dark Universe. The Hayden Planetarium’s fifth space show offers dynamic views of the cosmos, twinkling and swirling overhead.

When you gaze out from the viewing platforms of the Empire State Building, Top of the Rock or another skyscraper (or are struggling to find your way amid the crowds of Times Square), New York City itself can seem like a small planet.

Visitors can get even more personal with this massive city by getting a bird’s-eye view at the Panorama of the City of New York, the “jewel in the crown of the collection” at the Queens Museum (New York City Building, Flushing Meadows Corona Park, Queens, 718.592.9700).

Originally created for the 1964 World’s Fair, the “world’s largest scale model” contained less than 1 percent of error in its depiction of every single street, park, landmark and 895,000 buildings constructed in the city’s five boroughs prior to 1992, the most recent year it was completely updated. The 10,000-square-foot, three-dimensional structure offers unrivaled detail and scope.

body mystique Like Earth and space, the body is truly mesmerizing, taking a central role at several NYC attractions. Some of the 200 specimens that comprise Body Worlds: Pulse have literally had their minds blown—and put on display—at

land (House 4B, Nolan Park, holocenter.org) displays eyepopping holograms (three-dimensional images made with lasers) that are mystifying. The upstairs gallery rotates projected works every weekend, while the main space hosts 3-D photography and holographic pieces, such as one from Ray Park's Coexistence series featuring a cylindrical hologram of a ghostly banana rising from a real peel.

With majestic Beaux Arts aesthetics, Grand Central Terminal (87 E. 42nd St., 212.340.2583) is, arguably, one of NYC's most mind-blowing structures.

But what makes the century-old transportation hub really intriguing are the secrets within, particularly the Whispering Gallery (between the Main Concourse and Vanderbilt Hall). No one knows if the acoustical chamber was intended to carry sound across its 2,000 square feet, but the effect amuses the ears of countless visitors.

New York’s theater scene enchants beyond Broadway with other spectacular shows. The Blue Man Group rocks the Astor Place Theatre (434 Lafayette St., 212.254.4371) with a visually stunning, comedic show that's full of interactive surprises. And while some productions are all about the performers, the environment stars in others, such as Sleep No More (530 W. 27th St., 866.811.4111), a choose-yourown-adventure in which guests wander through a 100,000square-foot luxury hotel, eavesdropping on characters.

Similarly, postmodern theater producer Fuerza Bruta has kicked off its newest show Wayra at the Daryl Roth Theatre (101 E. 15th St., 212.375.1110). The audience becomes part of this unconventional performance, with its fast-paced music, aerial displays and absolutely no seating.

So … is your mind blown yet?

ool UPTOWN AND ICY

For more than 150 years, New Yorkers have sought refuge in Central Park’s leafy 843 acres. When the temperature climbs, you can find respite—and an edifying glimpse of the natural world—at the Central Park Zoo’s Polar Circle (64th St. & Fifth Ave., 212.439.6500). Every day at 10:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., the gentoos, chinstraps and king penguins devour fish and wow the crowds before waddling coolly away to relax.

After watching the penguins, get a dose of la dolce vita at Sant Ambroeus (1000 Madison Ave., 212.570.2211). The Upper East Side outpost of the downtown Milanese café, Sant Ambroeus sells authentic Italian gelato, as well as a shakerato— espresso shaken with ice and sugar—and affogatti, scoops of vanilla gelato “drowning” in espresso. You can order flavors like pistachio, hazelnut and pear sorbet to go, but if you stay, you can also order more complex treats, like the taglio al limone (lemon sorbet doused with prosecco).

If you don’t want to sacrifice cultural outings to hot weather, you can find cool serenity at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s The Cloisters (99 Margaret Corbin Dr., 212.923.3700). Set in an air-conditioned stone building, surrounded by breezy gardens, The Cloisters showcases the art and architecture of medieval Europe in a peaceful and quiet setting, and offers daily garden tours, frequent family workshops and concerts.

6/10/14 6:11:40 PM

The Plaza Hotel’s gourmet food hall provides another haven of cool, especially in the sweet confines of YoArt (1 W. 59th St., 212.832.0317), which specializes in frozen novelties: The shop sells a dozen yogurt flavors daily, including Eloise’s Strawberry. On hand are more than 90 toppings, from the virtuous (fresh organic fruit and pomegranate seeds) to the less so (hot fudge and chocolate-covered blueberries). For another delicious frozen-yogurt spot, visit Culture (60 W. 8th St, 646.823.9715), run by a pastry chef formerly of Bouchon Bakery. Culture makes more than 100 flavors, and the summer selection includes triple berry pie, watermelon cilantro and white peach.

Finally, if you're a regular visitor to New York, you may want to invest in being a member of the Patron’s Club at The Surrey Hotel (20 E. 76th St., 212.288.3700). For an annual fee of $1,000 ($500 goes to the Humane Society), guests receive a variety of benefits, including use of the private 17th-floor garden. Catch a breeze—and a view—and enjoy refreshing cocktails, such as a muddled lemonade.

DOWNTOWN COOL

Farm-to-table guru Ron Silver is resurrecting the iconic American soda fountain at Bubby’s High Line (71 Gansevoort St., 212.206.6200), his new restaurant near the popular High Line park. The soda fountain offers 18 syrups, six ice-cream flavors and 18 toppings. Everything is made in-house, using primarily local ingredients. This is the place for an authentic egg cream, a currant sour soda with a bracing vinegar kick or a classic root beer float. The menu lists more than a dozen appealing sundae options, but Silver and his staff encourage diners to invent their own combinations, all of which are cold, decadent and delicious.

Combat the summer wilt with a frozen facial and a swim at The Peninsula Spa (700 Fifth Ave., 212.903.3910). The spa’s 90-minute, $350 CRYO 3R facial uses Biologique Recherche’s cool masks and serums with a microcurrent machine intended to calm and tighten the skin. Visitors buying two hours or more of spa treatments (easily done by adding on a manicure or a salt scrub) can spend the rest of the day cooling off at the pool.

Go from cool to frozen at Minus 5° Ice Bar (1335 Sixth Ave., 212.757.4610), a 1000-square-foot cocktail bar made entirely of ice. An LED light show runs continuously, highlighting the glinting walls, sculptures, chandeliers and glasses—all fashioned from ice—and guests are issued gloves and parkas upon arrival. (For an extra fee, you can upgrade to a faux fur coat).

In many suburbs, malls provide a reliable blast of air conditioning on hot days. You can benefit from the same at the Time Warner Center’s Shops at Columbus Circle (10 Columbus Cir., 212.823.6300). After retail therapy, find refreshment at Chef Michael Lomonaco’s Center Bar (212.823.9482), where the chef serves icy cold Moët Champagne cocktails, like the strawberry coup.

For a refreshing pick-me-up, try a cup of mixed-flavor gelato from Sant Ambroeus.

Tribeca’s Shibui Spa (377 Greenwich St., 646.203.0045), nestled in the basement of the Greenwich Hotel, is one of the city’s best-kept beauty secrets. A haven of Japanese minimalism and discretion, Shibui has a gorgeous indoor pool and a special summer body treatment: a refreshing full-body polish of orange flower, papaya, sugar and salt, followed by a cucumber and aloe vera cooling mask, a rain shower and a massage.

Nothing’s cooler than hitting the skating rink in summer, and the Sky Rink at Chelsea Piers (Pier 61, W. 23rd St. & Hudson River Park, 212.336.6100) offers respite from the city’s humidity. Enjoy views of the Hudson River, pop music and skating lessons all at the same time.

Families with young children should check out Battery Park City’s Nelson A. Rockefeller Park (River Terrace & Warren St., 212.267.9700) and Teardrop Park (Warren St., at Murray St., 212.417.2000) for serious climbing and refreshing water play options, including rock boulders and dramatic slides.

For artisanal refreshments and a view of the New York Harbor, head to The Conrad New York’s Loopy Doopy Rooftop Bar (102 North End Ave., 212.945.0100). The bar’s new collaboration with frozen dessert brand People’s Pops has yielded cocktails that combine prosecco and other spirits with ice pops.

When the sun goes down, enjoy the Hudson River breezes on Classic Harbor Line’s City Lights Cruise (Pier 62, at W. 22nd St., 212.627.1825). The 105-foot schooner gets quite close to the Statue of Liberty, and the cruise includes chilled Champagne, beer, wine and soft drinks. It’s the perfect cool way to end a hot New York summer day.

With warm days and temperate nights, July is the perfect time to explore New York City. Check out Harlem’s eateries and clubs; take a ride on the Staten Island Ferry and catch a summer breeze. Kathleen A. Nugent-Harris, concierge at Loews Regency Hotel, shares her recommendations on how to do up summer in the city.

What have guests been asking about the most lately? Visitors to the city often inquire about what they can do once they have visited the well-known, “must-see” attractions.

What a lot of visitors and New Yorkers alike do not know is that there are many activities that are free to the public. The Harlem Meer—located in northern Central Park and comprised of 11 acres of water, surrounded by lush vegetation, walking paths and the Lasker Rink and Pool—is a fabulous spot to spend an afternoon with family or friends.

The 25-minute trip is well worth it; you can see the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, New York Harbor and the skyline of Lower Manhattan. Taking a Levys’ Unique New York! tour is a great way to learn about different neighborhoods, art, architecture and history of the city. I took a graffiti and street-art tour that was fascinating.

The Brooklyn Flea operates every Saturday, April through November, in Fort Greene. It is fun just meandering through the vendors to find vintage clothing and jewelry, browse through boxes of vinyl records, or perhaps find some treasure to repurpose for that special spot in your home. And when you are hungry and your feet are tired, head to one of the many food vendors to try steamed pork buns, tacos or ribs.

brooklyn beat In and Around gowanus by The Gowanus Canal hasn’t traditionally ranked as a prime NYC tourist destination, and if you get close, you’ll know why. Supposedly the final resting place of more than a few “made” men, its waters are so polluted that just last year they killed a dolphin. Oddly enough, though, the neighborhood named for this radioactive Riviera is transforming into a booming restaurant and bar scene. Gowanus is a laid-back antidote to Manhattan prices and irritating hipsters, and a great place to visit to see what “new Brooklyn” is all about.

The Bell Tolls If you’re looking to be entertained, check out the online calendar for The Bell House, (thebellhouseny.com), an old warehouse with vintage details and arched wooden ceilings. Now converted into a two-room bar/event space, The Bell House hosts everything from stand-up comedy to 1990s hip-hop dance parties to mac ‘n’ cheese cookoffs. | The Bell House, 149 Seventh Ave., 718.643.6510

Gowanus has more than food to keep you busy: There’s plenty you can do without contributing to your body mass. Brooklyn Boulders, New York’s largest indoor rock climbing gym, has day passes, if you are a sporty type who can’t stand a vacation day without a workout. I’m definitely not in that camp, but I’ll admit that this place is pretty awesome and definitely worth a trip. | Brooklyn Boulders, 575 Degraw St., 347.834.9066

Food options abound in Gowanus, but there are a few that you absolutely can’t miss. Brunch spot Runner & Stone has the best lemon poppy bread I’ve ever had and a killer baguette that always sells out by the end of the day, both courtesy of the former head baker at Per Se. The brownie sundae is decadence on a plate. | Runner & Stone, 285 Third Ave.,
