New York Musical Festival
Thank You, Robot
“One-Man Apocalypse Now”
C’mon, See a Show In the 1950s and 1960s, an advertising campaign aimed at locals and visitors alike proclaimed, “New York Is a Summer Festival.” Decades later, the slogan still rings true, especially for theater buffs. Check out five of this month’s off-the-beaten-path theater fests, and see if you don’t agree that, when it comes to live theater, no place on Earth outdoes NYC. • Of course, devotees of the Edinburgh Festival and its Fringe may disagree. That annual orgy of international entertainment is indeed a don’t-miss. But if you’re not winging your way to Scotland this August, you can get a taste of the 18 U.S. productions that are at the East to Edinburgh festival (July 11-30, 59e59.org). Chris Davis’ “One-Man Apocalypse Now” has got us curious. • During the dog days of summer, what’s not to like about Frigid New York (July 2-29, horsetrade.info)? Chill to sketch comedy, burlesque, game shows and improv troupes like Thank You, Robot.

• With 20 full productions, plus concerts and readings, the New York Musical Festival (July 10–Aug. 6, nymf.org) is the incubator for the next generation of Broadway composers, lyricists and book writers. How good is the work? Past festival shows have won three Tonys and a Pulitzer Prize, that’s how good. • Canada is our neighbor to the north, but how familiar are we with that nation’s theater? Soulpepper Theatre Company crosses the border from Toronto to set things right. Soulpepper on 42nd Street (July 1–29, soulpepper.org) is a month’s worth of 11 productions, including the play “Kim’s Convenience,” written by Ins Choi, and the musical “Alligator Pie,” which Choi co-created and acts in. • Since 1992, the Hot! Festival (July 5–Aug. 3, dixonplace.org) has raised the temperature on LGBTQ issues. Trans artist D’Lo’s “To T, or Not to T” (left) may just explode the thermometer.

1 If Jean-Georges Vongerichten is involved in a restaurant opening, you know you are in superb hands. His latest NYC venture, sprouting from the same space as his former resto, ABC Kitchen, in the lofty home decor store, ABC Carpet & Home, is abcV (38 E. 19th St., 212.475.5829). The 75-seat eatery serves up refined vegan/vegetarian dishes (light shallot and herb labneh, ancient grain pilaf with baby turnip and hazelnut). The upper part of the Upper West Side, home to Columbia University, has always been a bit of a culinary black hole, but Marlow Bistro (1018 Amsterdam Ave., 212.662.9020)—a new Mediterranean spot with lots of exposed brick and warm wood accents and dishes such as organic poached egg with roasted Brussels sprouts and oven-roasted branzino—is attempting to change that. I will use any excuse to go to my favorite Theater District eatery, The Lambs Club (132 W. 44th St., 212.997.5262). The handsome red-and-black decor and

black-and-white photos of legendary actors and writers just feel like something out of The Algonquin Round Table era, though the trendy new lunchtime offerings, including inventive bowls such as quinoa and farro with roasted sunchoke and charred scallion vinaigrette, and a spinach and lentil bowl with forbidden rice and ricotta salata, are anything but retro. P.S. Its addictive black sesame cake is still on the menu. I didn’t expect to be as wowed as I was by The Wooly Public (9 Barclay St., 212.571.2930), housed inside the historic Woolworth Building in Lower Manhattan. The rectangular room is moody dark, even at lunchtime. Oil paintings of whimsicallooking woolly mammoths decorate the walls. The menu is full of whimsy, too, with such choices as a Public or Private Burger (two different types of beef); a “Devilish” Egg; and a dish from the original Woolworth restaurant menu from 1913 (Frog’s Legs and Tartar) “as interpreted by The Wooly Public.”

FASCINATING ART DISPLAYS by Terry Trucco

The Art of Appearance Is fashion art? Who cares, especially in the presence of eye-dazzling creations that all but burst their seams with originality and wit. These exhibitions show how the human body can inspire both clothing and accesories, whether the individual dressing it answers to the name of artist, fashion designer or both. (1) “Force of Nature” examines the enduring relationship between fashion and nature, from plumed hats to animal prints. Flowers are special. As Enlightenment naturalists classified new plant species, the symbolism and sexuality of flowers like lilies and roses influenced designers. The inspiration continues, often with a twist, as seen with these candy-colored shoes by Pierre Hardy (summer, 2015). The Museum at FIT, Seventh Ave. at 27th St., 212.217.4558, thru Nov. 18 (2) Why is Rei Kawakubo only the second living fashion designer to land a solo show at The Met? Curator Andrew Bolton credits her relentless “pursuit of originality” and reverence for “the new,” convictions that led her to embrace design elements that changed the course of fashion, like asymmetry and outsized, unfinished clothing. With garments grouped by ideas like “Clothes/ Not Clothes: War/Peace” (detail, spring-summer, 2015), “Rei

4 Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between” showcases the Zen notions of emptiness and space and the unsettling ambiguities between them. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1000 Fifth Ave., 212.535.7710, thru Sept. 4 (3) With the advent of socially adventurous pursuits like cigarette smoking and applying make-up in public, Jazz Age sirens availed themselves of clever accoutrements like ruby-encrusted cigarette boxes and gilded vanity cases devised by Boucheron, Bulgari and other premier jewelry houses. This Cartier Box (ca. 1927), a tour de force of lacque burgauté panels and emeralds in “Jeweled Splendors of the Art Deco Era,” fits the bill. CooperHewitt, 2 East 91st St., 212.849-8400, thru Aug. 27 (4) Don’t expect to see mannequins in this brainy rethinking of the idea of fashion. “fashion after Fashion” commissioned six design teams to create installations imagining a post-fashion future. Finland’s SSAW Magazine used photographs like Ola Rindal’s “Christopher and Philipp Rosenthal in Alexander McQueen” (2017) to question notions of gender, sexuality and “good taste.” Museum of Arts and Design, 2 Columbus Circle, 212.299.7777, thru Aug. 6

THE AFTER-DARK SCENE by Daniel Fridman
Welcome Back
The tried-and-true commuter bar returns to Grand Central Terminal. The cocktail lounge housed inside the legendary Campbell Apartment has reopened after touch-ups and the added swank of elegant wall sconces and a marble-top bar. People-watchers can observe the everyday comings-andgoings of Metro-North railroad riders from Connecticut, the Hudson Valley, Westchester, Harlem and the Bronx while snacking on crispy tuna tartare tacos and chicken liver and foie gras pâté. Indulge in handcrafted libations from long-tenured specialty cocktail bartenders at the Campbell Bar, or outside on the Campbell Terrace, where couches offer a more casual and airy way to take in the sights, sounds and moonlight in Midtown East. | The Campbell, 15 Vanderbilt Ave., at E. 42nd St., 212.297.1781.
A 2 am stomach grumble is something like a not-so-gentle nudge from the devil on your shoulder. In this town, you can grab a cab at 2:15 am and find you’re not the only one who gives in to late-night temptation. In fact, there’s a chance that Ethyl’s outdoor seats will all be accounted for. Fear not: Inside, there is bar seating, as well as booths with wooden tables and black leather couches. Bright red walls, disco balls and go-go dancers set the scene for a barkeep whipping up specialty cocktails and a kitchen sending out cheesestuffed meatballs and the bar’s signature Fi-Dolla burgers. | Ethyl’s Alcohol & Food, 1629 Second Ave., btw E. 84th & E. 85th sts., 212.300.4132.
Glossy white tile walls, threering crystal chandeliers and a 300-bulb circus marquee outfit this bar and bakery like a dark, sexy circus. Housebaked cakes and pizzas are on offer until late. Bar Cyrk, 88 Thomas St., btw Hudson St. & W. Broadway, 212.321.2975.

Weekend in the Hamptons If you are looking to escape NYC for a few days (or even a few hours) to take in the immaculate sandy beaches and glam restaurants of the Hamptons, we’ve got your ticket. GETTING THERE You can get to the Hamptons, located on Eastern Long Island’s South Fork, a number of ways: The Hampton Jitney or Hampton Luxury Liner offers comfy bus shuttle service; Long Island Rail Road; or fly out on Gotham Air, Blade or Wings Air helicopters. (Approximately two to three hours by ground transportation, 35 minutes by air.) WHERE TO STAY Inns and bed-and-breakfasts abound in the two main towns of Southampton and East Hampton. Fine choices include Southampton’s Village Latch Inn Hotel and the B&B 1708 House; in East Hampton, try The Maidstone Hotel or The Mill House Inn B&B.
WHERE TO SHOP You will find enough stores to make a shopaholic’s heart quicken in the Hamptons. In East Hampton, visit the women’s clothing boutique Obligato and Sneakerology, with its colorful backpacks, T-shirts and, of course, sneakers; Southampton’s Main Street similarly entices with shops like family-owned Corwin’s Jewelers and resortwear for the whole family at Breezin’ Up.

AMERICAN BEAUTY
Keri Russell helps create one of TV’s tensest and most exciting dramas, “The Americans,” from her own Brooklyn neighborhood.
PHOTO: KERI RUSSELL, NOAM GALAI/GETTY IMAGES
BY BOB CANNON THE STREETS OF BROOKLYN have been invaded by the Russians—at least the fictional kind. Since 2013, the borough has been the home of the acclaimed FX drama, “The Americans,” starring Keri Russell as Elizabeth Jennings, a KGB agent living undercover in Reagan-era Washington, D.C. The show, which has just finished its fifth season, has featured such Brooklyn locales as Sharlene’s Bar and Piquant, both on Flatbush Avenue, as well as Coney Island, the Nargis Café in Sheepshead Bay, the Red Hook Grain Terminal and Ditmas Park. Toss in the Brooklyn Museum, which stands in for a D.C. office building, and you have the borough “across the bridge,” that, like the show’s characters, is hiding in plain sight. As a longtime Brooklyn Heights resident, Russell herself finds the location shooting a particular treat. “I love the neighborhood aspect of Brooklyn,” says the 5-foot-4-inch, 41-year-old beauty. “And none of my friends live in the city anymore; they’re all in Brooklyn, too. “It feels very creative and very do-it-yourself. When I feel like spending time alone, it’s a good place to be a loner. Even if you don’t talk to people for three days straight, you still feel the energy. You can be a loner but not alone.” At home, Russell is certainly never alone. She lives with Matthew Rhys, her costar on “The Americans,” their 1-year-old son, Sam, and her son, River, 10, and daughter, Willa, 5, both from her marriage to craftsman Shane Deary. According to Russell, her family life is the perfect complement to her professional one. “I once had an acting teacher who boiled the craft of acting down to the phrase: ‘Acting is a state of mind’,” she explains. “He said, ‘The ideal mentality for an actor is a childlike innocence. Acting is really just playing pretend.’ Something children are naturals at. Anything that opens you up emotionally impacts your acting,” she notes. “Parenthood, becoming a mom, does that.” She adds that, other than being a mother, she is nothing like her fictional KGB self. “I am literally the worst person at keeping secrets,” she says with a laugh. “I’d be the worst spy of all time. I know not every mom is a secret KGB spy, but every mom has this whole other life.” Her own life began on March 23, 1976, in Fountain Valley, California, where Keri Lynn Russell was born to homemaker Stephanie Stephens and Nissan Motors executive David Russell. Her father’s career took the family to Mesa, Arizona and Highlands Ranch, Colorado, where Keri attended high school. She studied dance with a passion, and got her first break at 15 by landing a spot in the cast of “The All New Mickey Mouse Club” in 1991. After that, she appeared in films such as “Honey, I Blew Up the Kid” and TV shows like “Boy Meets World,”
“Married With Children” and “Malibu Shores.” Then there was “Felicity.” Russell’s title character followed her high-school boyfriend to college, and featured all the youngwoman angst one could want. Not only did she win a 1999 Golden Globe, but the show also developed a fanatical following, particularly with young girls who viewed Russell as a role model and fashion icon. When the story line called for Felicity to shear off her trademark curly hair, fans were aghast, and the show’s ratings took a beating. “It’s sad,” she says, “when girls think they don’t have anything going on except being pretty.” By the time “Felicity” ended in 2002, Russell needed a change of pace and scenery. She left Los Angeles for New York City and time away from the spotlight. “A lot had to do with being exhausted,” Russell says. “I really needed to be a kid. I had some girlfriends who were going to school in New York. I moved here with just clothes, my cats and boxes of books. I needed to be interested in things again.” Once she had recharged her batteries, she made her OffBroadway debut in 2004 in Neil LaBute’s “Fat Pig,” whose bleak emotional landscape effectively eradicated Russell’s goodgirl stereotype. That opened the door for her to tackle more serious roles in 2005’s “The Upside of Anger” alongside Joan Allen, followed by 2007’s “Waitress,” which has been adapted into a Broadway musical by Sara Bareilles. Next came the comic romance “Austenland,” in which she again played a woman who was expecting. “I don’t know what about me screams young pregnant mother,” she wonders. She also plays a mother on “The Americans,” but hardly the submissive, domestic type. “Elizabeth is hard-core. I find her so enjoyable, especially as a woman,” she says. The juicy role has paid off for Russell. This year, her performance earned her a Golden Globe nomination for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series. When she’s not working on “The Americans,” Russell can be seen strolling the streets of Brooklyn and Manhattan with Rhys and the children. She admits to being a “coffee snob” with a taste for cappuccinos from Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream on Bergen Street. Other times she may frequent Pioneer Works, a 19th-century factory that’s been given new life as a cultural center. For dinner, they might go to the Sunken Hundred in nearby Cobble Hill, whose Welsh cuisine appeals to the Cardiff-born Rhys. “It’s great. We ride our bikes everywhere. There are amazing restaurants. There’s more sky and cool places. We come to Manhattan to go to the dentist or something.” Otherwise, Russell and Rhys maintain a low-key life—at least as much as TV stars strolling the streets of New York can. “Of the two of us, I naturally am the more private one,” Russell says. “Maybe I always was, because I did ‘Felicity’ when I was very young and I was uncomfortable with celebrity. So I tend to be very private and closed down about all sorts of things. Matthew is much more gregarious and talks to every single person.” “People don’t really care about me. Maybe it’s Brooklyn: It’s awesome. I really don’t want to be any more famous than I am right now. Who knows? Maybe years from now I’ll be on a ranch in Colorado with 10 kids. The whole point of life is to experience a little bit of everything. And I think it’s better when there are a few surprises thrown in.” IN NEW YORK | JUNE 2017 | INNEWYORK.COM

RateYour This city is tons of fun—for your tots, teens, or just the two of you. By Walecia Konrad
New York City is a wonderland for families, which is why strollers in Midtown are as standard as Broadway’s neon lights. But not every venue is perfect for every age. Gotham’s outsize variety of restaurants, entertainment and nightlife means an unsuspecting visitor could slip into R-rated territory when something more G-rated is on the agenda. With that movie-rating theme in mind, we’ve combed Manhattan for the must-sees for any family visit, then rated them appropriate to the age of your child, or, thanks to a hotel-arranged sitter, a night on your own.

GENERAL AUDIENCE GREAT FOR ALL AGES
One reason NYC is a mecca for families is the fact that so many child-friendly destinations are delightful endeavors for adults, too. Take the DiMenna Children’s Museum at the New-York Historical Society (170 Central Park West, 212.873.3400). New York and American history come alive through character-based pavilions, interactive exhibits and programs for toddlers, children and preteens. This summer DiMenna offers special exhibits on World War I, John F. Kennedy and the beloved fictional character, Eloise. While kids explore on the lower level, adults can take turns heading upstairs to the newly renovated fourth floor for a glimpse of the Historical Society’s collection of Tiffany glass. Or, see for yourself why locals are buzzing about the new Center for Women’s History, also on the fourth floor. While you’re browsing, remember there’s no need to push hungry, on-the-verge-of-cranky kids to the limit. Sugar Factory (1991 Broadway, 212.414.8700), which also has a location on W. 11th St., is home of the couture lollipop Hollywood stars made famous, with a kidfriendly menu offering an astounding variety of pancakes, waffles, French toast, burgers and sandwiches. For dessert, choices include over-the-top sundaes, milk shakes, chocolate fondues and more. Kids love the sugary glitz while the ’rents can indulge in candy-themed cocktails, such as the 60-ounce White Gummi Punch, LemonHead Martini or Cotton Candy Cosmo. At Alice’s Tea Cup (102 W. 73rd St., 212.799.3006), whimsy is on the menu with the literature-themed after-
noon tea menus complete with scones and clotted cream. An all-day menu is also available, full of, as this Mad Hatter says, “sweats, treats and your favorite eats.” Traditional and tasty Italian favorites and specialty sandwiches can be had at Parm (235 Columbus Ave., 212.776.4921, with a second locale on Mulberry St.) The bevy of strollers parked outside during any given lunch or dinner hour is a big hint that this place is perfect for kids. Just about anywhere you find yourself on the Upper West Side, you’re steps from Central Park. Walk across the park to the Ancient Playground (Fifth Ave., 84th St. entrance). Near the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the playground is inspired by the museum’s Egyptian Wing, with stone pyramids, a mini-obelisk and nine slides. If you’re more downtown-centric, you’ve got a great day ahead as well. Check out the Children’s Museum of the Arts (103 Charlton St., 212.274.0986). Designed to open up the world of art to kids of all ages, you and your child can jump into a variety of hands-on projects, often alongside working artists. Check the website, cmany.org, for events and classes scheduled during your visit. For food, head to Two Boots (several locations, including 201 W. 11th St., 212.633.9096). This local Sicilian/ Louisiana-themed chain (thus the name) is as familyfriendly as it gets. In some locations, young kids can play with balls made of pizza dough while they wait for their pizza or po’boys. Kids also love the cheerful decor and “Trix Are for Kids” menu at Big Daddy’s (several locations, including 239 Park Ave. So., 212.477.1500), which includes chocolate-chunk pancakes and kiddie cocktails. When night falls, let Disney take over. Both Broadway shows—The Lion King (200 W. 45th St., 866.870.2717) and Aladdin (214 W. 42nd St., 212.282.2900)—are appropriate for and beloved by all ages.

IN NEW YORK | JULY 2017 | INNEWYORK.COM
These venues are so exciting your older kids (ages 10 and up) won’t even realize they’re being educated as well as entertained. The National Museum of Mathematics or MoMath (11 E. 26th St., 212.542.0566) opened in 2012 with the noble goal of enhancing public understanding and perception of mathematics in daily life. That may sound a bit like homework, but the eye-popping interactive permanent exhibits such as the “Mathenaeum,” a seven-sided geometric sculpture studio, or the “Coaster Rollers,” which allow you to glide on acorn-shaped wheels, are anything but a bore. Sports enthusiasts will love “Hoop Curves,” a regulation-size free-throw basketball space, using technology to analyze your shot. MoMath is located on the north side of Madison Square Park, so you can easily get some fresh air after your visit and feast on a Shake Shack burger and shake at the chain’s original locale inside the park (Madison Ave. and E. 23rd St., 212.889.6600). Looking to spend time on the water? The Intrepid

PARENTAL GUIDANCE SUGGESTED
Sea, Air & Space Museum (12th Ave. and W. 46th St., 212.245.0072), inside an aircraft carrier, is a great way to see one of New York’s most unusual museums and enjoy the waterfront. Some of the wartime reenactments can be a bit loud and scary: You may want to make sure your kids are OK with that. They’ll also benefit from chatting with the volunteer veteran guides strolling throughout the museum. You may even find your host is a World War II vet personally familiar with the carrier. As you leave the museum, head across the West Side Highway to the car wash. Why? It’s the home of Underwest Donuts (638 W. 47th St., 212.317.2359), one of Gotham’s best doughnut emporiums with flavors like maple-waffle and vanilla-lavender. When summer humidity turns to rain, you may get a shower of a different sort when you sit up front at a performance of Blue Man Group at the Astor Place Theatre (434 Lafayette St., 212.260.8993). With a 28year run, the show endures for a reason. We dare you not to laugh out loud as your kids sit transfixed by these magical, high-tech, otherworldly performers. You may get a bit splattered upon during some of their antics, but that’s part of the fun. If Broadway is a must, Wicked (222 W. 51st St., 877.250.2929), the long-running musical prequel to “The Wizard of Oz,” is fun, clever and just sinister enough to delight older kids.

RESTRICTED HIRE A SITTER
New York nightlife is sometimes best experienced without the kids. Safely ensconced with room service, video games and an older sibling or trusted sitter (your hotel concierge should be able to help here), your children will be so happy, they’ll hardly notice that you ventured out on the town without them. Start your well-earned night out with a special dinner at Le Coucou (138 Lafayette St., 212.271.4252), and you may think you’ve somehow been transported to France. Chef Daniel Rose of La Bourse et La Vie in Paris is now in New York City. Getting a reservation can be tough, but in summer it often eases up, and you can put your name in for a cancellation. No luck? Go in a completely different direction at Empellón (510 Madison Ave., 212.858.9365). The menu at this wildly inventive Mexican, including crab nachos with sea urchin “queso” and short ribs confit with picadillo garnish, is for adult tastes only: There’s not a burrito in sight. Sexy hotel bars is a distinct part of New York City’s DNA and Bemelmans Bar (The Carlyle, A Rosewood Hotel, 35 E. 76th St., 212.744.1600) is the gold standard for that category. The bar, with its live piano music and whimsical murals based on Ludwig Bemelmans’ “Madeline” book series, is worth stopping in for a cocktail.

low (254 W. 54th St., 646.476.3551) This nightspot oozes Broadway. July’s calendar is jam-packed with crowd- pleasers such as “The Cast of Cats Sings Andrew Lloyd Webber” (July 26) and “Broadway by the Tear” (great torch songs, July 29). Adventurous theatergoers can head to the utterly unique Sleep No More (530 W. 27th St., 866.811.4111), an immersive, interactive and aggressively noir version of Shakespeare’s “Macbeth.” The audience follows the characters of their choice from room to room throughout the once-condemned, now theatrical venue, McKittrick Hotel. Or, check out the Off-Broadway-to-Broadway-backto-Off-Broadway sensation Avenue Q (New World Stages, 340 W. 50th St., 800.276.2393). “Part human, part felt,” as the promo says, the “Sesame Street”-style puppets and their actors paint a hilarious, clever and decidedly adult-themed portrait of that universal story —the young and eager trying to make it in New York. While we’re in R-rated territory, you may be game for one of NYC’s famed burlesque/variety venues. If your night out happens to be a Saturday, you’re in luck. One of Gotham’s oldest burlesques, Le Scandal (407 W. 42nd St., 917.558.0646) features everything from contortionist to striptease trapeze to comedians and blues and jazz singers. “Great first burlesque show,” wrote one couple on tripadvisor.com. Looking for a walk on the wild side? The Slipper Room (167 Orchard St., 212.253.7246) is home to famed late-night performance art and anything-goes variety/burlesque of the experimental—and star-making —kind. Enjoy the shows!

About Buses There are approximately 5,900 air-conditioned buses on over 300 routes. Buses stop at street corners about every three blocks. Look for signposts marked with a bus emblem and route number. Most buses operate btw 5 am and 2 am, while certain buses run 24 hours a day. Select Bus Service on First and Second aves. (btw South Ferry & E. 126th St.), as well as 34th St. (from the FDR Dr. to the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center), requires riders to pay their fares prior to boarding and to enter through any of three doors. Schedules and maps are posted at stops.
About Subways There are 24 subway lines designated by either a route number or letter, serving 469 stations. Round-the-clock, air-conditioned service is provided seven days a week. Subways run every 2-5 mins. during rush hours, 10-15 mins. during the day and about every 20 mins. btw midnight and 5 am. Stops are clearly posted and subway maps are on view at stations and in every car.
Cost of Ride The cost of a subway trip varies, from $3 for a single fare to $2.75 if you are buying more than one ride (in which case, various discounts are also available). For buses, you need exact change (no bills or pennies). You can purchase MetroCards at subway station booths and vending machines, train terminals and select stores throughout NYC. Pay for Select Bus Service with a MetroCard or coins (exact change only) at fare collection machines at designated bus stops.
