THEATER NEWS by Francis Lewis

Records are made to be broken, and these three long-running shows keep doing so, year after year after year.

21 YEARS

Ask Steve Cohen, aka the “Millionaires’ Magician,” what his favorite trick in “Chamber Magic” is, and he’ll say ”Any Drink Called For.” That’s when he takes requests from the audience and conjures up their favorite libations in a tea kettle (right). We won’t give away any secrets of Cohen’s trade, but the Lotte New York Palace, the host venue, has created the Think-a-Drink cocktail in honor of the show’s 5,000th performance. You can imbibe at the hotel’s Trouble’s Trust bar afterward or make it at home (Bulleit bourbon, Nolet’s Silver Gin, Earl Grey syrup, lemon juice, crème de violette, blackberries and a dash of angostura bitters). The essential ingredient? A pinch of magic. | “Chamber Magic,” Lotte New York Palace, 455 Madison Ave., 866.811.4111

Coming of Age

”Chicago,” the musical, has legs.

And not just because twotime Tony Award nominee and dancer extraordinaire Charlotte d’Amboise (above) heads the cast as femme fatale Roxie Hart.

With 8,683 performances and counting (as IN went to press), the show already holds the record as Broadway’s longestrunning American musical—ever.

On Nov. 14, it hits another milestone and blows out the candles on its 21st-birthday cake. To put the anniversary in perspective, “Chicago” has reached the legal drinking age in New York—no small irony for a show set in Prohibition-era Chi-Town, where drinking at any age was anything but legal. | “Chicago,” Ambassador Theatre, 219 W. 49th St., 212.362.6000

MR. OWEN SPREADS HIS WINGS

Clive Owen comes back to Broadway in a provocative new role. BY BRIAN SCOTT LIPTON 20

IN NEW YORK | NOVEMBER 2017 | INNEWYORK.COM

Clive Owen and Jin Ha in “M. Butterfly.”

FEW ACTORS have conquered the three major entertainment mediums with such panache and versatility as the ruggedly handsome 53-year-old British star Clive Owen. His London stage work has ranged from such seminal plays as “Design for Living” and “A Day in the Death of Joe Egg.” In 2015, he starred in the Broadway revival of Harold Pinter’s “Old Times” (which was also Owen’s Broadway debut). His films have varied from such prestige projects as “Gosford Park” and “Closer” (the latter earned him an Oscar nomination) to more commercial movies such as the recent “Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.” Elsewhere, TV audiences and critics alike have applauded his work in the HBO movie “Hemingway & Gellhorn,” where he portrayed Ernest Hemingway, as well as the highly praised Cinemax series “The Knick.”

Owen, who grew up in a working-class town in Coventry, England, now lives in London with his wife, Sarah-Jane Fenton, and their two daughters, Hannah and Eve, has returned to New York to take on one of the stage’s most complex roles: Rene Gallimard, a diplomat who embarks on a very unusual love affair, in the Broadway revival of David Henry Hwang’s award-winning 1988 play, “M. Butterfly” at the Cort Theatre. IN New York recently spoke to Owen about the play and returning to the city across the pond.

What made you decide to do “M. Butterfly” at this point in your life?

I didn’t know the play before I got the script, and as soon as I read it, I loved the writing. I was also happy that everyone involved seemed just as excited about the project as me, and it was great that David was willing to do some rewriting. This script is going to be a bit more about the two real-life people the play is based on.

Did you have the same initial reaction that many people do about their relationship?

Of course, one immediately thinks, “How could Rene not know what was going on?” But what I find so fascinating about the play is that it is ultimately about two people who create a world for themselves that works for them, and then the real world comes in to ruin it. At the end of the day, every couple creates their own world that works for them. So, yes, their relationship is a fascinating extreme, but ultimately, I also think, what’s the big deal?

cinating now as it did then. The whole idea of gender has changed so much over the past three decades, so to speak to people about this subject now, the work has to be more refined.

In many ways, the play is much more in a gray area in our current climate than it was in the 1980s, and that was a huge attraction for me.

So much of the success of the play depends on the chemistry between you and your co-star. Were you involved in the casting of Jin Ha?

I was consulted as casting went on. I saw his audition and was really impressed. Jin is not out very long from NYU [New York University], but he has such sensitivity and strength. And you’re right, the chemistry is hugely important; these are very complex roles in this very tragic love story. Gallimard has to fall in love quickly, but then the balance of strength changes between them.

I think having a young actor like Jin lead you can be thrilling.

What’s it like working with your director, Julie Taymor?

Having Julie at the helm was a big part of my decision to do this play. I am a director’s actor, which means I like to be directed, and Julie does that. She is ferociously smart and specific about the acting choices she wants. On the other hand, the play has to have an exciting visual aspect; we have to change worlds quickly and dramatically, and no one does that better than her. Still, if the core relationship isn’t affecting, there’s nothing onstage really worth watching, and she gets that. We are in great hands!

You’ve been alternating stage, television and film work in recent years. How do they differ for you?

First, I don’t think I would have done this play if I hadn’t done “Old Times” two years ago, which allowed me to get over my long absence from the stage. As it happened, I couldn’t do that play as soon as I wanted to, but that gave me enough time to sit with the play and really think about it. I think it’s such a delicate piece that I needed time to calibrate my choices. With stage, it’s always good that I couldn’t—and can’t—make quick decisions.

Film and TV don’t always work that way.

Would you ever consider doing another TV series?

It would be hard to top “The Knick” and working with Steven Soderbergh. I was spoiled. That was not a normal experience.

But for the right project, absolutely! I love the scope of traveling with one character for that length of time.

You never saw the play, but did you ever watch the movie?

PHOTO: JOSEF ASTOR

I have to admit I did watch the film after I was cast. I was curious what Jeremy Irons did with my role. But I hesitated, because I am a very instinctive actor, so if I don’t know the piece at all, it’s very freeing when I have no strong memory or influence to affect me.

This is your second revival on Broadway. Do you prefer doing

Are you excited about being back in New York this fall?

I am very excited. I’ve worked in New York more than any other place other than England, and I love that I can spend a long time here, leave, and then come back and it feels like home. This time, I am staying in the East Village, which has a very different vibe from other parts of Downtown and Midtown. It’s been fun finding new go-to spots. But, ultimately, it’s all about the work.

established plays?

Not necessarily, but I am hugely excited by the idea that I can bring this particular show to new people. It’s actually quite striking how the work has evolved over the years, yet it feels as fas-

Do you have firm plans after “M. Butterfly” closes?

Yes, rest! I think I’ll need to sleep for a while and take it easy, but otherwise I haven’t really thought about what comes next!

gems

by Robert Haynes-Peterson

Sometimes good things come in small packages, even in the vast metropolis known as New York City. And while there are plenty of sprawling restaurants and cocktail lounges to visit in this town, you may have a hankering for something a little more intimate. With that in mind, we invite you into these lovely establishments, where square footage may not be generous, but flavors and hospitality most certainly are.

IN NEW YORK | NOVEMBER 2017 | INNEWYORK.COM

A

mong the 45,000 or so bars and restaurants peppered around New York City, it seems as if finding the perfect tiny spot for a date, closing a business deal or celebrating a special occasion is harder than it should be. You don’t want another run-of-the-mill trattoria, nor shoulder-to-shoulder dining at a soulless brunch joint. Most after-work bars involve jostling through noisy clusters of tired souls, and neighborhood restaurants are too often sterile and over-lit. It takes hard work to design a true gem of a tiny establishment.

“When we opened L’Appart (225 Liberty St., 212.981.8577), the space was here, and the partners knew they wanted to do a concept of some kind,” says Nico Abello, executive chef for the 28-seat “bespoke” fine dining experience. Nestled inside the French-themed food hall Le District (itself located in the vast, shimmering shopping complex at Brookfield Place), everyone knew L’Appart had to stand out. “It was a long process: There were lots of meetings with everyone involved.”

After more than six months of intense planning, the team—including Abello—settled on fine dining influenced by the popular “secret” chef’s tables that have dominated the New York food scene for the past few years: fixed-price, multicourse menus that change every two weeks (with seasonal produce “harvested” from Le District’s market stalls and regional farmers markets).

The open kitchen is in full view of diners, who are encouraged to meet and interact with the staff.

But it isn’t just the delicately prepared and plated tasting menu (recent examples include langoustine prepared with fennel and red rice, or stewed rabbit with fresh apple chutney) that garnered Abello and his staff a Michelin star: The atmosphere is deliberately homey, with eclectic, upholstered furnishings, knickknack display shelves and flowers in mason jars. “It’s like a home dining room and kitchen,” says Abello. “The thing is, we don’t want to stress people. It’s very important people leave the room at peace after having spent time with us.”

Sometimes the perfect gem of a restaurant is one where you take a few joyful risks, both in terms of cuisine and your fellow diners. At Decoy (529 1/2 Hudson St., 212.691.9700)—already a NYC institution at just four years old—conviviality is on the menu, despite subdued lighting, rustic decor and a subterranean vibe. Tucked beneath sister restaurant RedFarm, the 22-seater is rightfully famous for its succulent, crispy Peking Duck, served alongside inventive appetizers like sweet potato noodles topped with uni (sea urchin) or shrimp-stuffed shishito peppers presented on teardrop-shaped plates. Sit at the small bar or alongside strangers at the communal table for your feast.

“Dining at Decoy is not only a delicious experience,

24

IN NEW YORK | NOVEMBER 2017 | INNEWYORK.COM

but a fun one,” says Operating Partner Ed Schoenfeld.

“Our guests often start talking with their neighbors, because they don’t recognize the little dumplings with “faces” on them that just got delivered.” Craving a little social lubricant? Beverage Manager Shawn Chen’s inventive cocktail menu highlights Asian influences. The Kyushiki Old Fashioned features nori-infused Hibiki Harmony Japanese whisky and muddled ginger.

While there are now dozens of tiny “speakeasy” bars offering craft cocktails amid wood-paneled, taxidermyadorned comfort, sometimes you seek just a bit more atmosphere than bartenders stirring drinks beneath Edison bulbs. On two equally appealing ends of the atmosphere spectrum are the Japanese-influenced Bar Goto (245 Eldridge St., 212.475.4411) and Brooklyn’s lush Frenchthemed Le Boudoir (135 Atlantic Ave., Brooklyn Heights, 347.227.8337), each equally appropriate for date nights and entertaining out-of-town visitors.

Bar Goto’s guests sit at an elegant, contemporary wood bar (or at small tables lining one wall), while owner Kento Goto and his team present upscale, immaculately presented small bites and cocktails influenced by both Japan and Goto’s long tenure in the New York craft cocktail scene. Drinks and food are updated regularly.

Favorites include streetfood-inspired okonomi-yaki (cabbage pancakes) filled with pork belly, shrimp and other goodies. Recent additions include kombu celery (celery sticks, salted kombu, red shisho) and unusual chips and

dips, complementing drinks like the Sakura Martini (sake, gin, maraschino liqueur, cherry blossom).

To access Le Boudoir, you enter via a secret bookshelf panel inside the street-level French bistro Chez Moi. Your host winds you down through stairs and hallways until you reach the Versailles-inspired bar. Here, mirrors, velvet and gold-leaf decoration, along with weekly live music, whisk you to a forgotten, romantic era.

“It’s a very comfortable, enveloping jewel box of a space, where you can hide from the outside world,” says Bar Director Franky Marshall. “The most common reaction is, ‘Wow, this space is amazing!’” Sip from silver coupes and crystal goblets while snacking on frog’s legs and foie gras. A wide range of cocktail styles ensure everyone at the table will find something they like, be it sweet, savory and light or heavy on the alcohol. the Du Barry is a refreshing Manhattan riff, featuring bourbon, vermouth, apricot and lemon.

Unusual glassware is only part of the sustainable puzzle at TriBeCa’s new Graffiti Earth (190 Church St., 212.542.9440), where Chef Jehengar Mehta presents Earth-friendly international cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere reminiscent of a rustic French château. “One of our goals was to ensure we took sustainability to the greatest extent we could,” says Mehta. “All of our cutlery and plates are ‘hand-me-downs,’ extending the life of the product. Our napkins are smaller (requiring less wa-

ter to clean) and stitched from reclaimed cloth. We exhibit art for sale, where 90 percnt of the proceeds go to charity.” The food—a modern pastiche of global influences—is responsibly sourced and prepared. Where resource-intensive beef is used, for example, Mehta says he tries to use less of it in a dish, enhancing it with mushrooms and other water-friendly savory flavors. Though the menu changes seasonally, recent offerings have included braised pork buns, a watermelon feta salad with mint sorbet, and house-made banana ice cream with a baked chocolate sauce.

Up in Harlem, there’s been an extensive culinary renaissance going on for a couple of years now. While most of the new spots are quite large, Clay (553 Manhattan Ave., 212.729.1850) is more intimate, with a 10-seat bar and another 20 or so spots at inviting black-and-white bistro seating (there’s more space downstairs for private events). “Having a smaller space, and a split-level space at that, makes Clay feel cozy and allows us to get to know our guests,“ says Bar Director Andrea NeedellMatteliano. The focus here is on farm-to-table dining, highlighting local and regional producers and seasonal dishes (Clay even lists current farm sources on its website). Needell-Matteliano says diners are responding well to the fresh ingredients, casual friendly service and inventive fare like confit duck leg with celeriac, smoked faro, collard greens and a blueberry gastrique.

seasonally, but focus on refreshing, fruit-forward concoctions like the Lazy Bird (tequila, honeydew, lime, jalapeño and lemon verbena).

If adventurous, bucket-list dining and drinking are in your sights, you can’t do much better than hitting up recent Chicago import The Office (80 Columbus Cir., 212.805.8800), a small, dark-wood speakeasy tucked off to the side of the new Aviary restaurant (still set to open as of press time) on the 35th floor of the Mandarin Oriental New York hotel. Book online at the in-demand spot and dive deep into the creative minds of molecular gastronomy pioneers Grant Achatz and Nick Kokonas, and Beverage Director Micah Melton.

Original cocktails are presented in traditional glassware, while the food arrives eye-poppingly stacked and tiered, or served up in French crockery. The crudité dish arrives with sliced and julienned raw fruits and veggies artfully arranged vertically from a “bucket” of crushed ice. Chilled oysters comes in an elaborate silver server shaped like a snail. The widely Instagrammed ice cream sundae for two sits amid an embarrassment of garnish riches, including gummy bears, red hots, macerated fruit and sprinkles (all house-made). Drinks and food are pricey (cocktails clock in at around $23, and there are a whole host of vintage spirits dating back almost a century that run significantly higher per pour), but you’re here for the whole package. Buckle down and enjoy; it’s going to be a very pleasant ride.

boxes. With gigantic flat-screens, designer cocktails and an upscale atmosphere, these are luxury destinations that are adding a touch of Gotham glitz to the games.

by Bob Cannon

THE TRADITIONAL AMERICAN “sports bar” is as much a clubhouse as a tavern. Even before the Highlanders became the Yankees, the image of the sports bar was one of a dimly lit watering hole made of worn walnut and the sound of televisions being drowned out by arguments. The kind of place where men of a certain age tossed back suds and talked longingly of the time they walked this close to Joe DiMaggio or touched Walt Frazier’s towel.

No more. The city is now full of upscale digs for sports fanatics that are part fan palace and part nightclub—places where the beautiful people mingle with the bleacher bums, and everyone is royalty as long as the games are on a wall of HDTVs that put you closer to the NBA than the refs. Their style is as glittery as the games. Here are six places, where the action never stops and where everyone’s a player.

THE 40/40 CLUB You want to be a player? The 40/40 Club (6 W. 25th St., 212.832.4040) can make you feel like one. The place is as much nightclub as sports bar, opened in the Flatiron District in 2003 by hip-hop mogul Jay-Z and his partner, Juan Perez.

The name comes from baseball’s exclusive “40-40 club,” that rare breed of player (there are only four) who has had 40 home runs and 40 steals in a season. After a recent $10 million renovation, the multilevel space includes an 18-foot illuminated champagne tower surrounded by a resin-top bar.

An arena-style seating area with marble steps offers a great view of the four state-of-the-art 165-inch video walls.

For private parties, the upstairs boasts five sumptuous VIP lounges, with amenities including custom billiard tables and chandeliers, and 55-inch HD televisions. The exclusive Jay-Z Lounge holds up to 100 guests, who can check out the game action on any of four 75-inch screens. The club’s decor includes a museum-style display of signed jerseys and memorabilia, including wrestler Kurt Angle’s WWF championship belt and autographed gloves from the 1974 Ali-Frazier boxing match. Top off the celebrations with delectable desserts, including house-made banoffee pie and warm pineapple upside-down cake. If you want an outing that’s equal parts party time and game time, this place has flash to spare.

BOUNCE SPORTING CLUB With a bright neon motif and a healthy list of creative cocktails, Bounce Sporting Club (55 W. 21st St., 212.675.8007) leans more toward the nightclub end of the sports club spectrum, with mixology and culinary competitions also dotting the calendar.

There’s enough buzz about Bounce that it’s become the place for that flashy party your company or crew might be planning. The Fox network show, “Empire,” held a seasonIN NEW YORK | NOVEMBER 2017 | INNEWYORK.COM

ending cast party there, and hip-hop hitmaker Ja Rule gave a surprise performance on another night.

The menu features a sumptuous brunch, whose meatlaced egg dishes are to die for; and the dinner menu is a protein-rich series of steaks, tortillas and gourmet burgers, with a long list of toppings à la carte.

Though the emphasis is on sporting events, the venue’s popularity means a reservation is recommended, or at least demands that you get there well before game time. But beware: This is no ball-caps-and-cutoffs joint. Dress shirts, dress shoes and jackets are the order of the day.

VIP tables and bottle service are available through the Tablelist app or the club’s website. Champagne bottles go as high as $395. Doors open at noon on the weekend, and the club often fills up by 3 pm, well before the late NFL game.

Bounce is most certainly not cheap, but you’ll get plenty of bang for your buck.

THE AINSWORTH It may be situated on the edge of the Fashion District, but make no mistake: The Ainsworth (122 W. 26th St., 212.741.0645) has style to burn, as well as being one of the city’s favorite spots for fantasy footballers. With 40 flat screens spread over 6,000 square feet, The Ainsworth draws a high-energy, thirtysomething crowd. So much so that on the weekends it’s essential to make a reservation for a table, which will come with a food and drink minimum. And if you want to belly up to the bar for the game, get there early.

For diners, there’s plenty of highfalutin bar food, such as pizzas, sweet tea wings and an impressive array of gourmet burgers. If you want more substantial fare, go for the filet, New York strip or rib eye steaks. And when you cast a glance around, you may spot celebs like Giants legend Michael Strahan or “Smallville” star Tom Welling. And its Midtown location at 45 E. 33rd St. is the perfect outdoor venue for warm-weather game nights, with a 2,500-squarefoot terrace that offers luxury lounge seating, HD TVs and, naturally, a full-service bar.

Irresistible and brightly colored cocktails at Bounce Sporting Club include the Red Monkey (above) and the Jam (right).

Below: The interior of The 40/40 Club.

Besides being a cool hangout for game night, Bodega 88 (573 Columbus Ave., 212.799.1602) has a backstory that rivals its Latin-flavored menu and classy ambience. As the name indicates, this fashionable Upper West Side bar was a bodega named the New Day Market for more than 50 years.

But as gentrification overtook the neighborhood, owner David Arias, who grew up in an apartment above the club, shut it down in 2015 and reopened it as a trendy nightspot.

The result is a small-scale, upscale establishment that serves double duty as a tantalizing tapas-and-cocktails bar and a game-time destination with a friendly neighborhood feel. The place has a distinctly Latin feel, with a tempting menu that includes pork tacos, chicken empanadas and chicken lollipops, along with small plates, such as chorizo a

la plancha and ropa vieja sloppy Joes. The bar serves up beers from Spain, Costa Rica and Mexico as well as more conventional brews. For more adventurous drinkers, the house features classy cocktails like a mescal-and-ginger shandy and a pomegranate mojito—just right for game time.

Deportes de larga vida! (Long live sports!)

ASHTON’S ALLEY SPORTS BAR The city’s upscale sports bars aren’t all on the West Side.

Ashton’s Alley Sports Bar (825 Third Ave., 212.688.8625) fills the East Side’s need for high-energy event watching.

With 60-, 70- and 80-inch flat screens strewn about the place, there’s not a bad seat in the house.

Moreover, it’s a handsome, well-lit place for getting into the game. Ashton’s Alley makes a point of not being your typical testosterone-heavy bar scene, but one where women and families can enjoy the action of the games as well. In addition, there’s a good-size outdoor patio for people watching and taking in the city sights.

The menu features a top-notch array of flatbreads, burgers, sliders, of course, but also sports a tempting array of Cajun, Asian and seafood dishes, along with a choice of daily specials. Also, Ashton’s Alley can host private events for up to 200 guests, with a custom menu and activities like karaoke, bingo, auctions or live entertainment. Meanwhile, the bar keeps jumping Tuesdays thru Saturdays till 4 am.

PROPER WEST For fans of fine dining and sports events, especially those involving Penn State, Proper West (54 W. 39th St., 212.997.9000) is a slice of heaven for Nittany Lions fans.

But this is not your grandfather’s sports joint. This sleek establishment is a two-story marvel, with a long marble bar decorated with globe lights and elaborate floral arrangements, and 5,000 square feet of space for any kind of fan, Penn State or otherwise. With tufted leather booths and HD TVs suspended above, this is a place to watch the action in comfort and luxury.

For diners, the menu features high-grade American cuisine like ponzu salmon, Cajun brick chicken, truffled mac ’n’ cheese and grilled New York strip steak.

It doesn’t end with dinner, though. For the post-dinner crowd looking to catch a West Coast game (or the end of an East Coast one), there are half-price appetizers every day from 10 pm till closing. And stick around—after the game, a DJ spins music into the night. Proper also has a location in Fi-Di (6 Murray St., 646.559.4445), where high ceilings and 70-inch screens make for another big-time game experience in sophisticated style.

In short, for men and women who love to gather for the games, catching the action at a bar no longer means a downmarket, no-frills bar. In this spectacular new world of upscale sports bars, the kitchen is open, the gang’s all here and any game can become a social event to savor.

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.
