1 “Henry VI, Part 3” unfolds in a parking lot. 2 Tensions flare in “Napoli, Brooklyn.” 3 Streetwise “Stomp” makes a lot of noise. 4 “The Government Inspector” plays politics for laughs.
The great thing about Off-Broadway theater in summer? It doesn’t take a vacation, but is as lively, inventive, provocative and in abundance as it is during the rest of the year. Maybe more so.
• August’s days are long, its nights short. Enter Summer Shorts (thru Sept. 2, 59e59.org): six new one-act American plays divided into two series of three plays each and performed in repertory.
• Fans of the Bard certainly won’t feel cheated. Uptown, there’s Shakespeare in the Park—the park being sylvan Central Park, where “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” spins its comic web at the outdoor Delacorte Theater (thru Aug. 13, publictheater.org/FreeShakespeare-in-the-Park). By way of contrast, Downtown, on the gritty paved streets of the Lower East Side, there’s Shakespeare in the Parking Lot, where the War of the Roses rages in rarely performed “Henry VI, Part 3” (thru Aug. 12, shakespeareinthepark inglot.com), also alfresco and free of charge.
• Disaster falls out of the 1960 New York sky and changes the lives of an old-world Italian-American father and his three daughters struggling to come of age in the New World. Meghan Kennedy’s family drama, “Napoli, Brooklyn” (thru Sept. 3, roundabouttheatre .org), thrives in the heat, while generating its own.
• Summer’s the time to make a racket, right? “Stomp” (stomp online.com) has been rhythmically thumping its garbage cans, brooms, feet, whatever since 1994. Who needs words?
• Science meets showbiz in “That Physics Show” (thatphysics show.com) and “That Chemistry Show” (thatchemistryshow .com), and kids can say good-bye to the back-to-school blues.
IN NEW YORK | AUGUST 2017 | INNEWYORK.COM
• Hurricane season knows no fury like Michael Urie, whose galeforce performance turns Nikolai Gogol’s 1836 Russian political satire, “The Government Inspector” (thru Aug. 20, redbulltheater .com), into a knockabout farce for all seasons.

WHAT’S TRENDING ON THE FOODIE SCENE by Lois Levine
ATHOUGH THE POKE CRAZE—that wonderful Hawaiian import of raw fish salad in a bowl—started a while ago, the trend is still catching waves. Smart move, then, for Oceana Poke (1700 Broadway, 212.713.0033) to have recently opened in Midtown, where throngs of hungry office workers are always looking for something new. The quality casual spot gives diners a number of poke bowls to choose from (the classic poke bowl, for example, includes yellowfin tuna, cucumber, cilantro, avocado, edamame and shiitake mushrooms), or you can create your own from a wide variety of fish options, vegetables, rice and even chicken. If, however, you veer more toward red meat, then you will love Del Frisco’s Grille’s latest location in Brookfield Place (250 Vesey St., 212.786.0760), spanking new, with great views of the Lower Manhattan cityscape and the elevated chain’s always impeccable steaks and burgers. Burgers are also a highlight of the menu at
2
Wahlburgers (1633 Second Ave., 646.858.3890), the brainchild of actor/brothers Mark and Donnie Wahlberg and their brother/chef Paul, whose new location has landed on the Upper East Side. The menu dominates with generously portioned comfort foods: Besides double- and triple-burger options, there are mac ’n’ cheese with smoked bacon, chili and a variety of housemade frappés and floats. And finally, I always loved walking to our old offices in the NoMad neighborhood: I would pass the open window of the popular Portuguese restaurant Lupulo, (835 Sixth Ave., 212.290.7600) at 8 am and buy a cup of its dark and delicious coffee. Recently, Lupulo has expanded to offer a full breakfast, available in the restaurant or to go. Now, with your drip coffee, pour over, macchiato or cappuccino, you can get an egg and avocado sandwich, homemade linguiça sausage sandwich or stone-ground oatmeal, among other choices. Not a bad way to start your day.

The store’s “groovy” residential aesthetic was designed to evoke a “Gio Ponti meets Gloria Vanderbilt” concept, with 1950s- and 1960s-style wood-paneled walls, marble floors, vintage printed chairs, and brushed aluminum and brass shelves. | Edie Parker, 781 Madison Ave., 646.290.7293

FASCINATING ART DISPLAYS by Terry Trucco

Off the Wall Come summer, New York morphs into an eye-catching outdoor art gallery that’s open 24/7, rain or shine. These vibrant creations are just a sampling of what’s on view under the sun and stars. After all, the sky’s the limit. (1) Designed to rotate in the wind, “Universe” (2016) is one of five colorful steel and aluminum sculptures lined up like whimsical trees—or gigantic pinwheels—in Phyllis Hammond’s “Beyond the Edge” at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, E. 47th St., btw United Nations Plz. & Second Ave., thru Aug. 25. Starting with improvised loops on paper, the Hamptons-based artist utilizes a computer to modify her drawings, then creates metal cutouts using a water-jet machine. Reflecting Hammond’s concerns about inclusion and freedom, the work has a second title: “Sign of Freedom.” (2) In “Earth Potential,” a cerebral sculpture installation scattered throughout City Hall Park, Broadway, Park Row & Chambers St., thru Nov. 9, Estonian artist Katja Novitskova employs startling digitally printed images of celestial objects and enlarged organisms, like E. coli, to examine the relationships between science, technology and our image-based culture. Her pairings

are pointed. In “Earth Potential (Lizard, Earth)” (2017), a magnified image of a lizard’s leg clings to planet Earth, alluding to a future when science solves the mysteries of limb regeneration. (3) When did you last see a work of sculpture made from water? Exactly. But water’s built-in evanescence was inspiration for Anish Kapoor. With a spectacular central vortex, “Descension” (2017), the Mumbai-born artist’s swirling, churning liquid mass, explores the sculptural potential of water at Brooklyn Bridge Park, Pier 1, 334 Furman St., DUMBO, Brooklyn, thru Sept. 10. (4) It’s the rare art installation that invites you to touch the work, let alone sit on it. But with flamboyant arches and Louis XIV sofas rendered in brute concrete, Liz Glynn’s ghostly and gorgeous “Open House” (2017) outfits Central Park’s Doris C. Freedman Plaza, Fifth Ave. & 60th St., thru Sept. 24 with thought-provoking outdoor furniture that’s surprisingly comfortable. Known for using historical narratives to explore change, the Los Angelesbased artist reimagines a private ballroom in a long-gone Fifth Avenue mansion, a wink at the proudly democratic park that outlasted it.

Mykonos in Chelsea
Plush white furniture outfits an airy space framed by windows that offer striking views of the Lower Manhattan skyline. Bright white decor and tiles embody the Greek island of Mykonos, and the aesthetic is complemented by Greek fare from the kitchen in Hotel Hayden’s Mykonos Blue Restaurant, as well as more than 80 Greek wines from the Hayden Bar. All of this comes together to form a Mediterranean oasis atop Hotel Hayden in New York City’s Flower District. | Hayden Rooftop, 127 W. 28th St., btw Sixth & Seventh aves., 212.973.9000
Global Luxury in Midtown Tall candles decorate long, beautifully finished wooden tables on two outdoor terraces on the Peninsula Hotel’s 23rd floor. Venetian mirrors, Moroccan lanterns and intricately carved Chinese screens line the corridor that leads to a glass-enclosed lounge inspired by the 1930s-era NYC penthouse of Madame Ning, a Shanghai socialite after whom the rooftop bar and terraces are named. Eleven signature cocktails and a Hamptons-style lobster roll—among other small plates and Mediterranean specialty dishes—tempt lounging guests to keep stargazing amid Midtown skyscrapers deep into the night. | Salon de Ning at the Peninsula, 700 Fifth Ave., at 55th St., 212.956.2888

Boozy Popsicles were all the buzz in New York City during the summer of 2016. Fast forward to this year, and rooftop-party connoisseurs on the 16th floor of the Conrad New York hotel are still loving Loopy Doopy’s Prosecco & Ice Pop cocktails. The fruity concoctions come in a variety of flavors—including Pink Lady Sangria, Strawberry Rose Gin, Blackberry Sour (whiskey), Pear Ginger Crush (vodka) and Blueberry de Cana (rum)—and are made with a base of your choice: either chilled prosecco or rosé straight from the tap, coined “rosêcco.” Ice pop flavors vary each month, but the breathtaking views of the Hudson River skyline and the Statue of Liberty are always consistent. | Conrad New York Hotel, Loopy Doopy Rooftop Bar, 102 North End Ave., btw Vesey & Murray sts., 212.945.0100

IN NEW YORK | AUGUST 2017 | INNEWYORK.COM

KATE BECKINSALE is downright mischievous: She is known on the internet for her viral Instagram pranks, often with a cat named Clive, and her Instagram video of her sounding off a random horn to startle a friend. But she’s also one of the most versatile actors around. Beckinsale has wooed audiences around the world through a plethora of different characters in her films. From her portrayal of romanticized heroine Nurse Lt. Evelyn Johnson in “Pearl Harbor,” to charming Ava Gardner in “The Aviator,” to manipulative and witty Lady Susan Vernon in “Love & Friendship,” not to mention the vampire named Selene in five “Underworld” movies, Beckinsale has proven that she can cast a wide net. It’s no accident she has this character range. The 44-year-old Brit grew up around the craft; both her mother, Judy Loe, and father, Richard Beckinsale, were professional actors. Growing up in London, Beckinsale spent a lot of time watching the complexities of Elizabethan theater. At Oxford University, she was cast by a young Tom Hooper (director of “The King’s Speech”) in Arthur Miller’s “A View From The Bridge.” During a summer break at Oxford in 1993, she landed a major role in Kenneth Branagh’s film adaption of the Shakespeare comedy “Much Ado About Nothing,” alongside acting giants Emma Thompson, Denzel Washington and Michael Keaton. She eventually made the move to America, where her performance in “Pearl Harbor” with Ben Affleck introduced her to an international audience; the film grossed over $449 million worldwide. That lead her to starring in a number of films like “Serendipity”(2001), “Van Helsing”(2004), “Click” (2006) as well as the aforementioned films. This month, “The Only Living Boy in New York” opens, in which Beckinsale appears opposite Pierce Brosnan. In the movie, which was filmed on location in New York City, she plays a brazen seductress in the middle of a love triangle between a married man and his son. Beckinsale currently lives in Los Angeles with her 18-year-old daughter, Lily Mo, whom she had with her former partner, actor Michael Sheen. What interested you about“The Only Living Boy in New York”?
Well, it’s a script that had been floating around Hollywood for a while. I’d been aware of it, and thought that it was this really lovely, sort of gentle, lyrical story about people who are struggling a lot. And I love stories like that—it felt very precious. I don’t think there have been that many movies that have been made about these little stories. And so I heard that they were finally making it, and I ended up Skyping with Marc Webb [the movie’s director], whom I’m a huge fan of anyway. Now that I’ve gotten to know him, I’m even more of a fan. What do you like most about New York City?
I’ve lived in New York a couple of times in my life. The first time I lived there, I made some of the closest friends I have. I’m sure everyone feels like this when they live in New York for the first time, especially when they are young, but I sort of found out who I was and what I liked. I was around 21, and that’s the time in your life were you are finding that stuff out. I think New York really helps with that. Because everything
feels possible there. Even when you don’t have much money, you can still have a great time. I love that! And then I moved back there again, when my daughter was about nine months old or so. She took her first steps and said her first words in New York, so I’ve always felt really connected to the city. And with New York, just like it is in London, you can stroll out of your home, and not too far away, wherever you live, you can find amazing theater and art. And I also found that people are really funny—they have a great sense of humor in NYC. Even though I am English, if sort of feels like home when I’m there: If any place in America feels familiar to me, and reminds me of life in England, it would be New York. What is one of your all-time favorite Broadway shows?
My daughter and I were obsessed with “Hamilton” to a point of it becoming an issue. Like we went to see it so many times—we would go into the theater and sit down, and start sobbing about four songs in: We were just so blown away by Lin-Manuel Miranda [“Hamilton” composer and original star]. What are your favorite things to do in New York?
I love walking around Central Park. But I also love the fact that in New York you can wander and sort of discover things, and feel proprietary about the things you find, the shops and such. I have found fantastic stores that have costumes, and really great bookshops. It is so sad to see, though, that the amount of bookstores are dwindling. What new project do you have in the works?
Well, I took off for a while [after filming “The Only Living Boy in New York”] because my daughter was graduating high school and moving on, and I wanted to be here for this last magical bit, her still living at home, but more as an adult. So, that’s coming to an end pretty soon. She’s going to be going off to college. And really, I’ve just been kind of savoring the last little bits of watching this fantastic chemical process happen—seeing her become a grown-up. Being her mother is definitely the coolest thing I’ve ever done. What medium do you prefer the most, film or live theater?
Gosh, I really don’t know. I grew up going to theater a lot: That’s what we did as a family, and so I always loved Shakespeare and a lot of other great classic playwrights, among other things. And I really do love working in the theater. I haven’t done a play since I had my daughter, which is now, you know about 200 years ago [laughs]. I’m dying to go back to doing live theater. That’s one of the things that’s quite exciting about Lily going off and doing her own thing. All that is now open to me again. I do think for actors it’s just fantastic to have a relationship with your audience. There’s a kind of a synergy [with live theater] that is not replaceable, and it’s different from when you’re going to a screening of a movie that you’ve done. There’s something so extraordinary about it, being on the stage: It’s a one-off moment. You know that anything possible could go wrong—or, that night, it could be the best acting you’ve ever done.

Some Like it Hot
Savvy New York diners find paradise within the concrete jungle. The spacious outdoor lounge at La Marina (348 Dyckman St., 212.567.6300) is located within a working marina, is dotted with bright umbrellas and comes with a knockout view of the George Washington Bridge. Salsa Wednesdays feature live bands with Emmy-winning musicians, while huge weekend dance parties on the beach (complete with cabanas!) cater to those who crave a wilder scene. Across the East River, Café de la Esquina @ Wythe Diner (225 Wythe Ave., Williamsburg, Brooklyn, 718.393.5500) is housed in an historic 1930s railroad
car. In summer, diners congregate on the shaded bluestone patio, order the combo platter with six killer tacos, bop to the beat of local musicians on weekends and play lazy games of table tennis. It may be called Cloud Social (6 W. 32nd St., 17th fl., 212.104.1092), but those in the know take in the sun—and refreshing Manhattan Cloud cocktails—at one of NYC’s below-the-radar, least pretentious rooftop bars. A simple snack menu (mixed nuts and olives) complements drinks that you can sip while sitting on cheery orange banquettes. Cloud Social hosts happy hour from 3 to 7 pm, where you can net an Instagramable shot of the Empire State Building. IN NEW YORK | AUGUST 2017 | INNEWYORK.COM

Why go to the multiplex when you can have your movie stars with celestial stars and sprinklings of fireflies, too? The NYC Parks Department’s Free Summer Movies offers showings on piers and in parks. August selections include cult favorites like “The Big Lebowski” and “Beetlejuice,” classics such as “North by Northwest” and family films including “The Muppet Movie,” “A League of Their Own” and “The Wiz.” Speaking of “The Big Lebowski,” the Jeff Bridges indie hit becomes a “silent” movie (the audience is given headphones) at a come-in-costume event during the free Lincoln Center Out of Doors festival (W. 66th St. & Lincoln Center,lincolncenter.org/out-of-doors) through Aug. 13.

Over in Brooklyn, step off cement plazas and into lush Green-Wood Cemetery (500 25th St., Sunset Park, Brooklyn, 718.210.3080), where a host of activities threaten to wake the dead at this lush, 19th-century national historic landmark, famous for its plethora of bright green monk parakeets. Birders can come on Aug. 6 and 20, from 6:30 to 8:30 am, before the gates open, for “Birding in Peace” tours, and on Aug. 27, there’s an anythingbut-peaceful reenactment of the Battle of Brooklyn, the first battle of the Revolutionary War, with cannon fire, parades, soldiers, horses, music and food.
Hot Fun
At Teardrop Park (Warren St., 212.267.9700) in Lower Manhattan, children enjoy water play in a rocky setting resembling a Catskill mountain clearing, and the 14-foot stainless steel slide is a draw as well. At nearby Battery Park City’s Rockefeller Park (near West St. & Warren St.), kids play ball, Frisbee and frolic about as well. An adults-only hidden play space is the Dream Hotel’s The Beach at Dream Downtown (355 W. 16th St., 212.229.2336), where sun worshippers pay $65 for a day pass to dip in the serene, glass-bottom pool, belly up to the bar for seasonal cocktails, or laze on the white chaise longues and nautical blue cushions. Mix with hipsters and the hoi polloi at rehabilitated Olympic-size McCarren Park Public Pool (776 Lorimer St., Greenpoint, Brooklyn, 718.965.6580), with its historic arch and entryway, lap swimming lanes, beach volleyball, and rooftop café. Rather sweat than swim? Salute the sun and downward dog at Bryant Park Yoga (W. 42nd St. btw Fifth & Sixth Aves.), Tu 1011:30 am, Th 6-7 pm. Mats are provided. The Parks Department offers free yoga and other classes through its Shape Up NYC exercise program (nycgovparks.org/ programs/recreation/shape-up-nyc). IN NEW YORK | AUGUST 2017 | INNEWYORK.COM

BEAT the HEAT Northern Dining
Swap midday sun for midnight sun at these standout Nordic eateries, which offer cooling salads, smoked fish and other summery fare. Along with other Scandanavian chefs, Claus Meyer founded the New Nordic Cuisine movement over a decade ago. Sample the flavors of this style of eating, which favors simple, fresh and ethical ways of cooking at the Great Northern Food Hall in Grand Central Terminal (89 E. 42nd St., 646.568.4020), offering several pavilions of inventive fare. There are smørrebrød sandwiches topped with pickled herrings or eggs, shrimp and rapeseed mayonnaise on Meyers’ cele-
brated rugbrød (seed-cluttered rye from his Bageri). At the Grain Bar, try the vaunted øllebrød, more like a cold rugbrød pudding swirled with milky vanilla foam, tangy sea buckthorn berries, tarragon sugar and caramelized rye chips. More Danish-inspired delectables await you at Tørst, (615 Manhattan Ave., Greenpoint, Brooklyn, 718.389.6034) a sleek wood-clad beer bar that serves hip takes on Danish fare, such as beef tartare with salted plum and pickled green walnut. For the full Scandinavian experience, visit exhibits at Nordic cultural center, Scandinavia House, then share a traditional Swedish repast, the Smörgåsbord platter—replete with gravlax, Swedish IN NEW YORK | AUGUST 2017 | INNEWYORK.COM

Literary Lairs
Books offer timeless summer escapes and so, too, do these oh-so-climate-controlled temples to the written word. Everyone recognizes the iconic marble lions guarding the New York Public Library (476 Fifth Ave., 917.275.6975), but few have explored all the treasures within—from the Beaux Arts splendors of the newly renovated Rose Main Reading Room to the Lionel Pincus and Princess Firyal Map Division, gateway to 433,000 sheet maps and 20,000 books and atlases and home to “Drawn From the Clouds,” an exhibit showing the first pictorial “route maps” designed for international airlines.

A rotating display highlights such historic treasures as a page from Thoreau’s journal or Ulysses S. Grant’s 1869 inaugural address call for tolerance. Stay cool in the East Room while admiring the ornate H. Siddons Mobray wall art. In contrast, Poet’s House (10 River Terrace, 212.431.7920) provides a free spartan retreat from the heat with its blond wood tables, comfy couches, and food-and-drink friendly policy. Be inspired by the Hudson River views and the country’s largest collection of poetry volumes. August visitors can view the annual showcase, featuring every poetry book published so far in 2017.
Indoor-tainment
Get out of the hustle and bustle to watch penguins waddle and tussle in their frigid habitat in Central Park Zoo’s “Polar Circle” exhibit (E. 64th St. & Fifth Ave., 212.439.6500). At this easy-to-do zoo, see king penguins, gentoos and the smaller chinstrap penguins swim up or emerge from their dens to feed at 10:30 am and 2:30 pm. But for your own polar-circle experience, head to Minus 5 Ice Bar (1335 Sixth Ave., 212.757.4610) where the bar, walls, glasses and sculptures are made of ice, and the cost of admission includes a parka and gloves to wear in the bar. Ice also provides respite at Chelsea Piers Sky Rink (61 Chelsea Piers, 212.336.6100), open for general skating sessions twice daily in summer. What a thrill gliding around the cold rink, passing stunning views of the Hudson (not to mention those people sweating outside on the piers!). If the idea of exercise makes you wilt, The American Museum of the Moving Image (36-01 35th Ave., Astoria, Queens, 718.777.6800) lets you indulge your inner couch potato with a video arcade exhibit featuring 23 classic games from the 1980s, considered the golden age of video games, including Donkey Kong, Frogger, Space Invaders, NBA Jam and Ms. Pac-Man. Buy tokens at the gift shop, grab your joy stick and zoom into retro virtual realities. As cool as you can get. IN NEW YORK | AUGUST 2017 | INNEWYORK.COM

Spa treatments designed to chill, in more ways than one. By Joni Sweet NEW YORK IS AN UNDENIABLY AWESOME place to spend the summer months. Who can argue with long, sunny days lounging in Central Park, breezy nights sipping cocktails at rooftopcc bars and weekends brimming with alfresco concerts and events? Chilling out takes on a meaning of its own, though, when it comes to 21st-century beautifying treatments. From frozen saunas and subzero body chambers to chilly massages and anti-aging facials that practically freeze time, here are the spa experiences that will soothe, beautify and refresh you this summer.
Traditional Treatments Gone Cold
The soaring temperatures outside make cold versions of standard treatments the hottest thing on the spa scene right now. To get in on the trend, look to Haven Spa (250 Mercer St., 212.343.3515). The Greenwich Village spa (with the coolest twinkle-lit lounging area) uses cold packs in target areas of the body in its 90-minute Tourist Massage, along with a heavy emphasis on vigorous foot and shoulder rubs, to soothe travelers’ most common aches. And if you’ve found your skin looking less than radiant from the harsh heat and sun, the chic spa’s Fire and Ice Facial will rejuvenate it with a warm and tingly resurfacing mask, followed by a facial massage using smooth, chilled bulbs to stimulate circulation. The Cornelia Spa at The Surrey (20 E. 76th St., 646.358.3600) takes a subtler, yet no less powerful, approach to cooling guests down. Every body treatment, like the Champagne & Pearl Sugar Glow Body Polish, ends with the Upper East Side spa’s “Signature Cooling Caress,” in which guests are draped with a cooling neck towel and presented with a sorbet amuse-bouche. You’ve probably heard of hot stone massage, but what about cold stone? The Spa at the Mandarin Oriental (80 Columbus Cir., 212.805.8880) uses smooth, chilled stones (or hot, if you’d prefer) in the massage portion of its Ayurvedic Ritual. The nearly three-hour experience also features Ayurvedic herb-infused oil treatments on
the entire body and a calming head massage. Another chilled-out option at the luxe spot is the Thai Yoga Experience. After getting a massage, stretching out in assisted yoga postures and soaking in an herbal bath, you’ll cool down with a chilling foot massage and one of the spa’s tasty lemongrass coolers. If it’s so hot that even your fingers are begging for something cool, head down to Chillhouse (149 Essex St., 646.678.3501). The recently opened spa on the Lower East Side, which focuses on massages and meticulous manicures, uses the cooling properties of mint in a coffee hand scrub to give your paws a gentle chill at the end of The Full Monty nail service. Freezing takes on both a literal and figurative meaning at Tribeca Medspa (114 Hudson St., 212.925.9500). Its anti-aging Stem Cell Facial uses dermaplaning exfoliation and frozen bovine stem cells on the face to reduce the signs of aging. The chemical messengers in the stem cells help boost the production of collagen and elastin in your skin, resulting in a face that’s nearly frozen in time. The facial is one of many beautifying skin-care options, such as Botox, chemical peels and nonsurgical face-lifts, for women and men available at the medical spa.
Chilled Saunas+Polar Plunge Pools
If a cool, dark cave starts to look like paradise to you after hoofing around in the hot, humid weather all day, you’re in luck at Aura Wellness Spa (49 W. 33rd St., 212.695.9559). The day spa chills one of its therapeutic grottoes to 40 degrees. These indoor caves, made from mineral-rich soil, are said to promote health benefits, like stress relief, boosted metabolism and improved circulation. The spa recommends breaking a sweat in the heated grottoes, then cooling down in the “Stone Ice Grotto” to remove toxins from the body. If nothing else, the experience is certainly a refreshing shock to the system. Access to the grottoes is complimentary when you book a massage, body scrub, facial or other spa treatment. Otherwise, $50 buys you a two-hour pass to the distinctive structures. IN NEW YORK | AUGUST 2017 | INNEWYORK.COM

If all you want to do this month is splash around the pool, give Aire Ancient Baths (88 Franklin St., 646.878.6174) a try. The spa revives the wellness rituals of the ancient Greeks and Romans with 90-minute sessions in its candlelit, brick-walled bathing chamber. The two chilled plunge pools (one of which often has an ice block bobbing around in it) provide instant relief from August’s doggiest days. You can also float around four other luxe tubs, including a saltwater “floatarium” as dense as the Dead Sea, and a bubbling jet-propelled pool, or duck into the eucalyptus-scented steam room. How about an igloo for your cooling pleasure? Step into the Ice Igloo at Premier57 (115 E. 57th St., 212.750.8800), a hydrotherapy wellness center. Chilled to a restorative 46 degrees, the Ice Igloo room helps clients acclimate their body temperature after sweat sessions in Premier57’s heated saunas. According to the spa, short stints in the cold environment stimulate the immune system, close pores and relieve pain, but escape from summer’s intense heat might be the biggest benefit.
Extreme heat can call for extreme relief measures, like hopping into a subzero chamber. The treatment’s called cryotherapy, and a number of spas around the city have begun to offer it. The process is simple: Strip down to your underwear, slip on some cotton or wool gloves (provided) and towel off any moisture on your body. Then, step into the 6-foot tube, which puts everything from the neck down into an environment cooled between minus 184 and minus 264 degrees. The session lasts for up to three minutes, and the sudden drop in body temperature promises health benefits like cardiovascular stimulation, calorie burning, reduced inflammation and improved recovery time after strenuous workouts. Celebrities like Demi Moore and Kate Moss have all caught on to the cryo-craze. Ready for your own deep freeze? KryoLife (57 W. 57th St., Ste. 1101, 212.551.3333) offers conventional full-body cryotherapy, along with local cryotherapy that targets particular areas of the body, and “KryoSculpt,” which uses minus 160-degree, liquid-nitrogen vapors on isolated body parts to create a slimming effect. Chill Space NYC (124 E. 40th St., Ste. 603, 212.661.3400), helmed by a chiropractor and kinesiologist, offers sessions in a high-tech cryo-sauna. If you need to warm up after your treatment, try the restorative flotation therapy in saltwater baths, which reduce sensory stimulation, along with infrared sauna sessions. Whether you want full-body cryotherapy or a localized treatment, CryoVigor (2 W. 46th St., Ste. 505, 212.920.7440) will take care of you. The spa also offers a facial that uses the cold effects from cryotherapy to tighten pores, reduce puffiness and boost collagen production to smooth and rejuvenate the skin. Who knew chilling out could do so much beautifying?

When it’s time to eat, weekend brunch at Home/Made (293 Van Brunt St., 347.223.4135) is worth the line—they offer free coffee while you wait—and a killer French toast. For an old-school Brooklyn experience, and possibly a cardiac episode, try Defontes Sandwich Shop (379 Columbia St., 718.625.8052). Opt for one of the best lobster rolls you’ll find outside Down East Maine at Red Hook Lobster Pound (284 Van Brunt St., 718.858.7650). Fort Defiance (365 Van Brunt St., 347.453.6672), a gem of a cocktail bar, is a great place to sip something fun and retro, like a bourbon milk punch or a Mr. Bali Hai.

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.
