Familiar Faces
• Before he became a household name as George Costanza in “Seinfeld” (1989–1998), Jason Alexander (below) won a 1989 Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical. Alexander returns to his roots in John Patrick Shanley’s latest comedy. | “The Portuguese Kid,” MTC at New York City Center–Stage 1, 131 W. 55th St., 212.581.1212 • The world fell in love with the little girl in “Little House on the Prairie” (1974– 1983), but Melissa Gilbert is all grown
Grand Opera
Forbidden passion, pagan rituals, human sacrifice: Vincenzo Bellini’s 1831 bel canto masterpiece, “Norma,” is grand opera at its grandest. Little wonder the Metropolitan Opera has chosen Sir David McVicar’s new production of the work for the opening night of its 2017–2018 season on Sept. 25. Set designs (above) are by Robert Jones, who conjures up the forbidding ancient forest in which Druids do battle with an invading Roman army. Soprano Sondra Radvanovsky sings the title role of the tragic Druid priestess in love with a Roman soldier, who abandons her for another. The stage is definitely set for high drama. | “Norma,” Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Center, Columbus Ave., btw W. 63rd & W. 64th sts., 212.362.6000
Killer Looks
British actor Jonno Davies (right) is about to raise hell when he makes his New York stage debut in Alexandra Spencer-Jones’ high-energy adaptation of “A Clockwork Orange,” the Anthony Burgess novel and Stanley Kubrick film. Davies is Alex DeLarge, a study in contrasts: a psychopathic thug with a cultivated, even charming exterior. But like the milk he guzzles at the infamous Korova Milk Bar, he’s spiked: unpredictable, demonic, animalistic, untamable and totally buff. “[Alex] is like a simmering pot that could go off any minute, and that’s very exciting to work with,” Davies has said. Exciting for audiences, too. | “A Clockwork Orange,” New World Stages, Stage 4, 340 W. 50th St., 212.239.6200

WHAT’S TRENDING ON THE FOODIE SCENE
WHEN I THINK JAPANESE FOOD, I CONFESS, I always think in terms of a good sushi joint being one with a great spicy tuna roll and yummy seaweed, not much more. That limited thinking dissolved after dining at Suzuki (114 W. 47th St., 212.278.0010). The new subterranean spot in Midtown, arrived at through two darkly lit stairways that give the feeling of a rock club, is the real deal when it comes to Japanese fare. The restaurant serves Gozen-style lunches—set meals that are composed of rice, a main dish, a side dish, Japanese pickles and soup. I opted for the Maguro Zanmai Gozen, which consisted of a couple of small appetizers; a lovely tricolor tuna sashimi, as well as rice, pickles and miso soup (the darkest, muskiest soup I ever tasted). The portions are not large, but exotic flavors dominate—pure ginger, smoky ponzu, lemongrass. The dining room is narrow and luxurious, bordered by plush, gem-toned banquettes and

mostly filled with parties of Asian businessmen. Speaking of business, FiDi, (the Wall Street neighborhood, reinvented), has a new American restaurant, Westville (110 Wall St., 212.741.4780), offering vegetable-forward dishes like crispy vegan quinoa with artichoke burgers, but omnivores are looked after, too, with fish sandwiches, grilled chicken and hanger steak. And while steak, is the main event at T-Bar Steak & Lounge (1278 Third Ave., 212.772.0404)—you can pick from classic cuts like porterhouse and strip steaks—the sleek resto has other offerings you don’t typically see in steak houses, like Mediterranean branzino, chicken Milanese and veal ragout. Finally, gallop south toward Brooklyn for The Four Horsemen (295 Grand St., Williamsburg, Brooklyn, 718.599.4900), an inviting wine bar/eatery with a smallplate menu—dried skate wing, butter beans fra diavolo, potato gnocchi—that is most appealing.

Well Built It was Philip Johnson, the esteemed designer of such New York City landmarks as the Seagram Building, 550 Madison Avenue (the skyscraper previously known as the Sony Building) and Lincoln Center’s David H. Koch Theater, who said, “Architecture is art, nothing else.” While the is-it-or-isn’t-it art question remains moot, the city’s museums and galleries know where they stand when it comes to the achievements of architecture’s best, be it buildings, aqueducts or even extravagant can openers. (1) With 41 miraculous miles of iron pipe and masonry, the Croton Aqueduct opened in 1842. By transporting clean, drinkable Croton River water to New York City, this unparalleled engineering feat improved lives and helped transform New York into the young nation’s foremost city. “To Quench the Thirst: The Croton Aqueduct at 175” documents this game-changing waterway though photographs and the letters and drawings of engineer Fayette B. Tower (1817–1857), including “Croton Aqueduct at Sing Sing Kill’ (ca. 1842). Museum of the City of New York, 1220 Fifth Ave., 212.534.1672, thru January 2018 (2) If his 150th birthday wasn’t reason enough for a grand-scale exhibition, the Museum of Modern Art’s acquisition of Frank

Lloyd Wright’s enormous archives sealed the deal. With nearly 400 architectural drawings, models, building fragments, television broadcasts and more, “Frank Lloyd Wright at 150: Unpacking the Archive” envelops you in the iconic designs of an architectural polymath, from Prairie Style houses to a mile-high skyscraper. Wright’s rejects are an unexpected pleasure. Who knew he contemplated pink, orange and Cherokee red versions of New York’s Guggenheim Museum? Or considered Eugene Masselink’s vivid stained-glass design for his Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church (1955–61) in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin? Museum of Modern Art, 11. W. 53rd St., 212.708.9400, thru Oct. 1 (3) From red Olivetti typewriters to vibrant ceramic totems, the wildly original, slyly subversive creations of Italian architect Ettore Sottsass (1917–2007), founder of the 1980s Memphis design collective, unleashed seismic ripples throughout 20th-century design. “Ettore Sottsass: Design Radical” showcases his art and how he was influenced by ancient works, as well as his own influence on designers working today.

THE AFTER-DARK SCENE by Daniel Fridman
Danny Meyer has the Midas touch when it comes to eateries (Shake Shack, Gramercy Tavern), so it is no surprise that his first stand-alone bar in NYC has become an urban hit as well. Porchlight was recently dubbed “The Best Bar for Big Groups” by restaurant website theinfat uation.com. The wide-spanning specialty drinks menu is cleverly broken down into categories— “Guzzlers: Light and Easy,” “Sippers: Not for the Weak of Heart,” “Nerdy: Late-night Experiments That Worked,” and “Classics: You Know ‘Em, We Make ‘Em.” Some drinks use pickled vegetables (Porchlight Gibson: Plymouth gin, dry vermouth, pickled onion brine) while others use hoppy beer (IPA-mazing: Tanqueray gin, grapefruit, passion fruit and Other Half IPA). A small, Southern-style menu for snacking features fried oysters and other goodies. | 271 11th Ave., btw W. 27th & W. 28th sts., 212.981.6188

Twenty-five craft beers rotate on tap daily at this darkly-lit Brooklyn watering hole, where bartenders help customers sift through a thick book of take-out menus, tempting hungry gamers to order in. More than 50 arcade games cover the floor of this grown-up’s play emporium, including NBA Jam Tournament Edition and The Legend of Zelda, as well as a hodgepodge of lesser-known games. The Manhattan locations—in Chelsea and on St. Mark’s Place—boast full food menus. | 388 Union Ave., btw Powers & Ainslie sts., Williamsburg, Brooklyn, 718.302.6464
Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola Every night in September, at least one performing artist graces the stage at Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola. In fact, this month, the storied venue—which opened in 2004 and was designed specifically for live jazz—puts on 49 performances. Highlights include a weekend of jazz piano from renowned jazz pianist Harold Mabern of the Harold Mabern Trio (Sept. 8-10) and a three-night run by Cuban saxophone legend Paquito D’Rivera (above, Sept. 29-Oct. 1). There is also a late-night series Sept. 1-2, 11-16, 18-23 and 25-30, with 22-year-old saxophonist and Generations In Jazz veteran Julian Lee closing out the month. | 10 Columbus Cir., btw W. 58th & W. 60th sts., 212.258.9595

art
WEARABLE TO SOME EXTENT, all jewelry can be described as “art,” in that it is crafted with aesthetic intention. So what distinguishes an item meant for personal decoration from an exquisite piece of what people refer to as “wearable art”? For Beth Carver Wees, a curator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s American Decorative Arts department, the answer is (somewhat) simple: “It’s about the design and virtuosity of the piece, but also about its manufacture. It doesn’t have to be made by an ‘artist’ to make it an artistic piece of jewelry, nor does it have to be costly. But there’s a difference between jewelry that’s cranked out by a machine and jewelry that’s made by hand in an artist’s studio.” While mass production certainly disqualifies an item from the leagues of art, an item doesn’t need to necessarily be “one of a kind” for Franci Sagar, vice president of retail and brand development at the Museum of Arts and Design and the curator for the “Redefining Fine Jewelry” exhibit opening on Nov. 16. For her, what’s important is the item’s aesthetic value, along with how the artist uses his or her materials. As an example, Sagar refers to some of the pieces by Lilly Fitzgerald, whose work is included in the permanent collection of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and who was featured in the Museum of Arts and Design’s “Redefining Fine Jewelry Spring 2017” exhibit (all of the items of which are presently on sale in the museum’s store). While some of her designs may be similar, her attention to detail and the passion that she puts into her luminescent pearls and radiant gemstones ensure no two pieces are ever exactly the same. Her blue moonstone

earrings set in a hand-built 22-karat gold cast with large round double-sided, rosecut blue moonstones, for example, evoke the hypnotic beauty of the way moonlight brings out the shimmer and deep colors of the shifting sea at night. Oftentimes, what distinguishes a piece of jewelry as art is its sculptural intricacy, and in that way the husbandand-wife design team of Roule & Co. is the apex of artistry. Known for its trademark wire-form metalwork, Roule’s pieces, like a lot of architecture, seem simple at first. It’s only upon looking closely that you realize the intricacy of the construction and movement. The Shaker Teardrop earrings, with yellow spessartine encased in 18-karat gold wire, are an example of this type of stunning architectural jewelry. Maria Soldier, daughter of acclaimed artist Alex Soldier and executive director of his appointment-only boutique in the heart of Manhattan, evokes the immortal words of Yves Saint Laurent when describing her understanding of jewelry as art. “Fashion is fleeting, style is eternal,” Saint Laurent observed. “It’s the same with jewelry,” says Soldier. “It’s not about what’s trending now. You can look at an Alex Soldier piece and immediately recognize it as Alex Soldier, just like you can look at a Rembrandt and immediately recognize it as Rembrandt. You never think, ‘Oh, Rembrandt was so last season.’” Alex Soldier, who hails from the remote Ural region in Russia, shifts seamlessly from sculpture to jewelry, and is the designer of the annual Princess Grace Award, which has been awarded to celebrate artistic innovation since 2009. His custom-made pieces have been worn by Princess Charlene of Monaco and Julie Andrews, among other epitomes of grace and

class. A few of his signature styles include rings depicting sunflowers, which were inspired by the works of Vincent van Gogh, and jewelry depicting snails, which remind him to slow down and enjoy life. One of the classic Sunflower rings, which he makes five times a year, is frequently worn by actress Kate Upton. It is made of 18-karat white, yellow and rose gold studded with 2.5 carats of yellow, champagne, cognac, brown orange and black diamonds and 4.5 carats of green garnet. The ability to add a modern touch to an ancient craft is what makes the work of Missouri-based jewelry artist Adam Foster so popular among Manhattan’s elite. Foster began his career by making custom jewelry for his clientele before launching his own business. Following the enormous success of his first couture show, Foster’s jewelry is now on sale at Neiman Marcus in Dallas, as well as Plan de Ville in NYC, which sources exclusive pieces from the world’s best emerging fashion designers. One of the items in the boutique that best display’s Foster’s ability to pair Old World sensibility with modern technology is his Double Plume ring: strings of diamonds set in a fluid gold leaf pattern like dew in an enchanted forest inhabited by King Midas himself. Those who are drawn to vintage pieces, whose beauty has withstood the test of time, should look no further than the carefully curated Mahnaz collection. Mahnaz, a scholar with a career in international affairs that submerged her in the cultures of distant lands, hunts down special jewelry pieces with her team for the avid collector, drawing inspiration from ethnic and modernist South Asian, European, Nordic and North and South American designs. The by-appointment-only gallery, which recently has opened to the public on the penthouse floor of the Pace Gallery, is particularly famous for its exquisite collection of pieces from the 1960s and 1970s. An aquamarine, diamond, pink tourmaline and 18-karat white-andyellow gold bracelet, made in the 1970s by Giorgio Facchini, is a perfect example of Mahnaz’s expertise in choosing pieces that remain modern and yet are evocative of the unabashed regality of the Disco Age. For true romance, there is nothing finer than the legendary Parisian art house, Lalique. Founded in 1888 by René Lalique, the luxury brand quickly gained worldwide recognition for its refined glassmaking. But Lalique, who considered “jewelry as a piece of art as well as an emotion, a personal talisman that should live and express itself,” is also recognized as one of the innovators of modern jewelry, who used crystals to sculpt delicate treasures that are timeless in elegance and style. One of the many stunning designs available in the Manhattan boutique is the L’Oiseau de Feu necklace. Part of the Vertiges collection and in collaboration with the Opéra National de Paris, the collection pays tribute to the Ballets Russes and, more specifically, Igor Stravinsky’s iconic 1910 bal-

let, “The Firebird.” Inspired by its vibrant and extravagant stage costumes, the L’Oiseau de Feu necklace features hand-braided black silk with gold thread, and has three ropes of pearls mixed with carnelian beads and hand-engraved white jade, along with the fire opal, orange sapphires, diamonds and black jade that capture the blazing glow of the mythical beast. The fire opals on the matching earrings can be worn alone as studs or with the ear jacket. Those who coveted the stunning $2 million Whispers of the Rain Forest necklace that actress Jessica Biel wore at the 2017 Oscars are in luck, as the same item is available for purchase at Tiffany & Co. Created for Tiffany’s 2017 Blue Book Collection, The Art of the Wild, the 200-baguette-diamond collar is made up of 350 individually hand-sculpted 18-karat yellow gold fronds. The effect is clearly mesmerizing, which is exactly what great art, in any form, is meant to do. IN NEW YORK | SEPTEMBER 2017 | INNEWYORK.COM

About Buses THE GOOD: If you are looking to get a view of NYC street life and are not in a rush, buses are a great way to travel. THE BAD: Traffic is highly unpredictable, and a bus ride can wind up taking much longer than anticipated. THE FACTS: There are approximately 5,900 air-conditioned buses on over 300 routes. Look for signposts marked with a bus emblem and route number. Most buses operate btw 5 am and 2 am; some buses run 24 hours a day. For 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), pay your fares prior to boarding and enter through any of three doors.
About Subways THE GOOD: The fastest, cheapest and most reliable way around town. THE BAD: Subways can get packed, sardine-style, during rush hours, can be hot in the summer and might have a “colorful character� or two. THE FACTS: There are 24 subway lines designated by either a route number or letter, serving 469 stations. Round-theclock, 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 and bus trip can vary, from $3 for a single fare to $2.75 if you are buying more than one ride (in which case, various discounts are available). For buses (if you are not using a MetroCard), you need exact change (no bills or pennies). You can purchase MetroCards at subway station booths, 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. For assistance, call 718.330.1234, or log onto web.mta.info.
Getting Around
The maps indicate MTA bus and subway routes. Each line is in a different color.
