These three feasts of the dramatic arts will satisfy your hunger for live theater.
WHAT IS GOING ON WITH NOMAD these days? It seems like every week I get another press release about a new restaurant opening in this slice of a neighborhood north of Madison Square Park. The most recent, and certainly visit-worthy, is Ferris (44 W. 29th St., 212.213.4420), a small, cheery place (white oak walls, elm wood chairs) with the kind of disarmingly simple menu that I love: contemporary American choices mixed with an international accent (menu starters like bread and butter, chips and dip, and fresh cheese; mains that include côte de boeuf with “all the fixings”). Uptown on another day, a visit to Il Gattopardo (13-15 W. 54th St., 212.246.0412), in the landmarked Rockefeller town houses, reminded me that business lunches with men in fine suits still exist—kind of a happy thought in this anything-goes sartorial world we occupy. The starter of a winter chicory salad dressed with lemon and olive oil was crispy and refreshing, as
WHAT’S TRENDING ON THE FOODIE SCENE by Lois Levine
was the spectacular branzino crudo, encouraging me to go for a main event of branzino as well: The roasted whole fish was possibly the most tender branzino I ever tasted. If you are in the mood for something more casual, spicy and south of the border, head Uptown to La Chula (137 E. 116th St., 646.590.3975), as authentically Mexican as you can find in NYC (including cocktails with a high kick), from famed Chef/Owner Julian Medina (Toloache, Yerba Buena). Last but not least, a trip to Brooklyn’s hipster ’hood DUMBO and Celestine (1 John St., 718.522.5356) gets you a twofer: Poetic views of the Manhattan skyline and an intensely flavorful Middle Eastern experience. Housemade wheat flatbread with za’atar (exotic spices) and olive oil; mushroom tart with feta and blackberry, and a duo of lamb with Swiss chard and bulgur are all first-rate. Leave room, though, for the chocolate challah bread pudding, worth every one of its gazillion calories.

THE AFTER-DARK SCENE by Daniel Fridman
Can You Keep a Secret?
a 2007 chimney collapase led to a sudden close, one of NYC’s most famous incognito venues has been resurrected and transformed, from drinkery to eatery, serving upscale American fare on a reservation-only basis. The entrance is still unmarked, and the buzzing, oldworld room is still serving up indulgences in secret. | Chumley’s, 86 Bedford St., 212.675.2081
NYC is filled with insider venues that you have to find to believe. Some perch under the awnings of other venues; others hide behind anonymous doors. However far off the beaten path you choose to wander, we’re confident our suggestions will help you impress your friends. (1) In 1922, political activist Leland Stanford Chumley converted a blacksmith’s shop into a Prohibition-era speakeasy for locals indulging in unlawful libations. Many of these locals were literary geniuses, as the walls, decorated with covers of books supposedly written within Chumleys’ confines, indicate. F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway and John Steinbeck all put in time behind the unmarked, wooden Bedford St. door. Almost a century later, after

Reserving a space inside this lounge, named after an 1896 law banning Sunday liquor sales in NYC, requires emailing the venue. Reservations, however, are only accepted Su-Tu, and only for parties of six or fewer. This subterannean refuge is identifiable by a small gold plaque and a doorbell; inside, curtained-off booths hide well-dressed loverbirds sipping bespoke cocktails. To get in, dress the part. | Raines Law Room, 48 W. 17th St., raineslawroom.com, no phone

Uptown Doubleheader
We can think of two good reasons to visit Columbia University’s Wallach Art Gallery this month. Its new home in a gorgeous Renzo Pianodesigned arts complex doubles as an uptown bookend to Piano’s Whitney Museum of American Art. And with photographs, costumes and videos, “Arthur Mitchell: Harlem's Ballet Trailblazer” envelops you in the artistry of the first African-American ballet star. After a groundbreaking career with New York City Ballet, Mitchell founded Dance Theater of Harlem and shaped generations of dancers. Consider “Arthur Mitchell Rehearsing Early Dance Theatre of Harlem Dancers,” unknown photographer (left, early 1970s). | Wallach Art Gallery, 615 W. 129th St., 212.854.6800, Jan. 13–March 11
Beyond “The Scream”
Do you really want to spend a gloomy winter’s day immersed in six decades of work by Edvard Munch (1863–1944), art’s prince of angst? You do when the works are as in sync with our unsettled times as these. From the creator of “The Scream” we see soul-searching paintings of remarkable self-assurance in intense, vibrant colors. In “Edvard Munch: Between the Clock and the Bed” (below, 1940–43), the show’s titular “self-scrutiny,” as Munch called his self-portraits, a haunted-looking artist appears next to a numberless grandfather clock, out of time but still standing. | The Met Breuer, 945 Madison Ave., 212.731.1675, thru Feb. 4
Turbulent Times
Richard Avedon and James Baldwin became friends working on their Bronx high school literary magazine. While photographing Baldwin on assignment years later, Avedon suggested they create a book about life in America. Named for the publication that resulted, the exhibition “Richard Avedon: Nothing Personal” immerses you in the tumultuous America of 1963–64 that Avedon captured so astutely. In this revelatory collaboration, photographs of civil rights activist Malcolm X, segregationist George Wallace and fame-seeker Fabian share wall space with unexpected images like the graceful bathers in “Santa Monica Beach #2” (above, 1963). | Pace Gallery, 537 W. 24th St., 212.421.3292, thru Jan. 13

Recalibrating Painting
It’s been remarked upon that Laura Owens approaches painting with an unusual combination of sincerity and irony. That she chose painting at all was notable in the mid-1990s, when the medium took a backseat to almost everything, from street art to video. But with a fearless originality that upended traditional notions of abstraction and figuration, Owens plays masterfully with colors, painting history and relationships with pop culture, technology and craft, an approach that’s made her a leader in painting’s renewal. In “Laura Owens,” paintings like “Untitled” (above, 2000) show how she did it. | Whitney Museum of American Art, 99 Gansevoort St., 212.570.3600, thru Feb. 4 INNEWYORK.COM | JANUARY 2018 | IN NEW YORK

CITY LET’S FACE IT: Adhering to New Year’s resolutions is hard enough in familiar surroundings. Visiting New York makes it that much tougher when temptation lurks on every street corner. But no worries there: If you are ready to get going (see three of the most popular New Year’s resolutions below), we have suggestions to kickstart your “new year, new you” plan, so read on!
GET FIT
We all know the drill. The keys to a healthier lifestyle are exercise and diet: One is good, both are better. Fortunately, several gyms in the city offer daily passes for those of you in a hurry to get into that new workout frame of mind. The Manhattan Athletic Club (277 Park Ave., 212.486.3477) is a Midtown exercise oasis with the feel of a private club. For a one-day pass ($19.95), you can use the latest equipment, specialized sports-training facilities and well-maintained locker rooms. Enjoy time in the steam room or sauna, work on your game with the golf simulator or shoot some hoops on the basketball court. For a nutritional pick-me-up, stop at the health bar providing juices and smoothies. Opened in 1962, Mid City Gym (345 W. 42nd St., 212.757.0850) offers daily ($25) and weekly ($75) passes. Mid City goes beyond the staples of free weights, machines, treadmills, ellipticals and bikes. Open spaces allow for stretching and personal training; there is also Olympic lifting and suspension training, and functional training equipment, such as kettlebells and logs, offered. A juice bar and tanning areas are also on-site. The Sports Center at Chelsea Piers (60 Chelsea Piers, 212.336.6000) offers daily passes for $50, and features a six-lane, 25-yard indoor pool that provides fine views of the Hudson River while swimming laps. An adjacent whirlpool spa allows for healthy relaxation. The

BECOME MORE STYLISH
Clothes make the person, and Manhattan makes the clothes for those who want a wardrobe upgrade. It can be daunting, however, for fashionista wannabes who do not quite trust their own sense of style. Thus, allow a knowledgeable personal shopper to find the latest trends that are right for you. Natalie Tincher of Buttoned Up Style (646.709.7700) advises anyone looking to reinvent their look to begin

with internet and magazine research. “You will start to see common themes, and figure out why you gravitate to particular styles,” she says, adding that you should integrate key pieces of the proposed new look into your current wardrobe. That can start with whatever resides in your hotel closet. For women, Natalie says matching suits are not a must. “Adding blazers or cardigans that have a pattern, texture or unique cut is a great and easy way to update without completely changing your wardrobe.” Some of her go-to brands for layering pieces are Reiss, Karen Millen, Iro, L’Agence, Hugo Boss, Kobi Halperin, Rebecca Taylor, and Calvin Klein. As for men, invest in properly fitting clothing and get the items tailored. Natalie notes that, “If you are a tough fit, there are a lot of great places in the city to get made-to-measure or custom suits and shirts done right for any budget.” Ranging from lowest to highest cost, Natalie suggests LS Mens Clothing, Beyond Bespoke and Michael Andrews Bespoke. “These professionals will be able to educate you on proper suit fit,” she says. Her final advice: “One thing a man doesn’t want is square-toed shoes. If you are a gentleman who is still wearing them, please get rid of them ASAP, and buy an updated pair of dress shoes like a cap-toe.” Joan Kaufman (212.206.9781, 917.686.1669) believes just walking around New York can provide an education in fashion: “People in the city have great style, and are great at starting fashion trends.” As for where to shop, she recommends stores or boutiques that fit your budget and carry various designers or collections that are versatile and classic. “Uniqlo in SoHo carries a broad range of great up-to-date styles each season with color options, as well as fun accessories. They also feature a well-known young designer’s collection with an affordable price point for men and women.” While Uniqlo presents classic merchandise, Kaufman points to Filson for a rugged look and Paul Smith for a stylish collection. She also suggests browsing the high-end boutiques along Madison and Fifth avenues. Finally, “rather than being a slave to fashion trends, your personal style should come from learning what works best for you and how to put it together,” she advises. Valerie Halfon of Shop With Val (347.746.7787), who works out of both NYC and Houston, Texas, likes to start by asking her clients what they currently love and want to maintain, and where they want to see the most change. She feels a style board on Pinterest or photos of their ideal style helps. Once the style is decided upon, Halfon says, “They can walk out the door feeling equipped to tackle whatever the day throws at them.” When working with a client who is money-minded, she zeroes in on budget and goes from there. “I like to ensure I’m always suggesting pieces within a price range that the client is comfortable with. In general, many of my clients are looking for a seasonal update or a wardrobe overhaul, so I enjoy taking them to department

14,000-square-foot strength deck, which also overlooks the Hudson, features free weights and modern training equipment along with every kind of cardio device. Also on-site are basketball courts, a boxing ring, breakaway indoor cycling, a locker room, Pier 60 barre classes, outdoor sundecks and an indoor track. A good workout can be neutralized by poor eating habits, but that is no longer a problem in the Big Apple, one of the first cities to jump onto the farm-to-table, locally sourced, whole food wave that is now permeating American food culture. Spring Natural Kitchen (474 Columbus Ave., 646.596.7434) combines natural ingredients into tasty lunches, brunches and dinners featuring vegetables, fish, poultry and beef. Appetizers of soft fish tacos or spring natural guacamole can be followed by a hefty Green Power Salad of marinated tofu, crispy kale, spinach and fava beans. Or complement a house-made veggie burger or grilled free-range chicken burger with organic black beans or brown rice, vegetable red curry or stir-fried miso rice noodles. You get the idea. It’s flavorful and, yes, guilt-free. Cafe Clover (10 Downing St., 212.675.4350) creates health-conscious American food in a casually stylish West Village environment. The restaurant accepts walkins, when available. Brunch favorites include pancakes made from quinoa, everyone’s favorite ancient grain; lavender waffles; and beet and mushroom veggie burgers. Dinner mains consist of organic Scottish salmon, Meiller Farm beef strip loin and Goffle Road Farm pounded chicken breast. Even a normally decadent dessert like butterscotch pot de crème is made with that probiotic wonder, Greek yogurt. Pokeworks (63 W. 37th St., 212.575.8881) is strictly a pickup/takeout kind of joint with limited stool seats, but its platform of Hawaiian-inspired poke bowls (salads made with fresh, raw fish) makes it worth a mention, especially if you need something fast and filling to fit in with your Get in Shape resolution. The fixings draw inspiration from the mix of cultures that chef-collaborator Sheldon Simeon grew up with in Hawaii: A favorite is the Hawaiian Classic with ahi tuna, green and sweet onion, ogo seaweed, cucumber and an assortment of condiments. For creative eaters, a make-yourown meal lets you choose your base, protein, mix-ins, flavors, toppings and crunch.

stores like Bloomingdale’s and Nordstrom [Editor’s note: NYC is getting its first Nordstrom later this year], where they can enjoy access to designers at different price points.” For those already comfortable with their style, worldfamous stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue, Macy’s and Bergdorf Goodman offer all the hot trends.
In this world of all-screens, all the time, one of life’s greatest pleasures can still be had by slowing down and flipping through the pages of a genuine book. Let’s face it: Books have texture and even an aroma that a Kindle can’t touch. And for those who promised themselves they would become more literate in the new year, there are an infinite number of places to rediscover the bliss of solitary time with a good book. Embellishing your personal library is a particularly enjoyable task in this town, where many bookstores also have added attractions, cafés and events. Start with the Housing Works Bookstore Cafe (126 Crosby St., 212.334.3324). Aside from having an everchanging array of titles to choose from—books are donated from publishers and other individuals passing on their gently used books, and because it’s uncertain what merchandise comes in each day, choices constantly change. Proceeds from Housing Works’ sales go to homelessness and AIDS causes. At the Bookstore Cafe, staffed mainly by volunteer workers, customers can enjoy a refreshment while leisurely browsing a book before purchase. For those who want to get a better foundation of the classics, no trip is complete without exploring the sixstory Argosy Book Store (116 E. 59th St., 212.753.4455). Founded in 1925 and now in its third generation of family ownership, Argosy features a wondrous collection of antiquarian and out-of-print items, specializing in modern first editions. Enjoy an adventure in browsing as you make your way up the first four floors, (the fifth and sixth floors are only available by appointment). The main floor and basement contain 60,000 out-of-print books on fiction, biography, art, poetry, philosophy and numerous other subjects. A mezzanine houses fine bindings and leather-bound sets: The fifth floor features literary first-edition and Americana departments, and the sixth floor includes an autographed book department. Argosy currently stocks a beautiful 1926 first-edition copy of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “All the Sad Young Men.” “Les Miserables” is also a sought-after title, and as of this writing, Argosy had a 10-volume set, rebound in brown morocco leather with a gilt-ruled and lettered spine. The store also offers binding services, restoration and appraisals. For a more whimsical experience and the latest selections, head uptown to Book Culture (450 Columbus Ave., 212.595.1962). The newest of three Book Cul-

tures in New York City (the other two are also on the Upper West Side), the Columbus Avenue location offers adult reading and childrens’ story times, staff picks and book clubs. And, in a creative effort to promote underrated books, there is also the option to pick a “Blind Date” book (no worries, it comes with an escape clause). Staffers pick their favorite, lesser-known book titles and then have them wrapped, with a label on the outside that lists several other books similar to the one inside. If the list appeals to the customer, they take a chance on the blind date. Unlike a real-life setup, the book can be exchanged if the buyer is not happy. “We try to make them books that are overlooked and really, really good,” bookseller Estefania Barron says. Book Culture’s best-seller table consists of titles that have sold the most in that particular store over the past several months. As 2017 was winding down, some hot purchases at the Columbus Avenue shop included “Autumn” by Ali Smith, “The Vanderbeekers of 141st Street” by Karina Yan Glaser, “Bobby Kennedy: A Raging Spirit” by Chris Matthews and “Manhattan Beach” by Jennifer Egan. The Staff Picks area is also where sellers recommend their favorites. Finally, if you are the kind of person who can’t walk into a Barnes & Noble without immediately feeling overwhelmed, then bookbook (266 Bleecker St., 212.807.8655) is the perfect shop for you. The small West Village bookstore, with French doors and a central spiral staircase, offers a table of discounted books, incuding former best-sellers, and inside, more sales that include 20 percent off hardcovers. The shop is small enough to easily find someone to help you and make the entire experience stress-free. And don’t we want selfimprovement to be just that?

HOTELS WITH STYLISH BEVERAGE OPTIONS. by Robert Haynes-Peterson
OVER THE PAST few years, hotels throughout the city have upgraded and innovated dining and drinking spaces, so much so that the hotel bar or coffeehouse is often the top destination in its neighborhood. Whether you’re meeting a business prospect for an espresso, luxuriating over high tea or looking for an exceptional hotel bar for cocktails, you’re certain to find posh surroundings and stellar service among our suggestions.
COFFEE KLATCH
For many of us—especially in a high-octane city like New York—coffee is the most important meal of the day. The national coffee addiction got new life a few years ago, when trendy brewing methods and a broader understanding of the nuances of sourcing, roasting and serving took our caffeine experience far beyond lattes and mochas. Pour-overs, cold brew, fair trade, Japanese slow drip: so many ways to enjoy java! “Appreciation for specialty coffee has grown tremendously in New York City over the past few years,” says Jonathan Dreszer, general manager for Brooklyn-based Devoción. “It has put a very high floor on the quality of coffee being offered.” Devoción, which focuses on sourcing “third wave” Columbian coffees, bills itself as “the only exclusively farm-to-table coffee roasters in the world.” The company supplies a specialty variety dubbed Wush Wush to dining mecca Eleven Madison Park, where the coffee sells for $24 a cup. They also supply a variety called Wild Forest to Paper, the invigorating Euro-Modern coffeehouse inside the MADE Hotel (44 W. 29th St., 212.213.4429), where it’s featured in drip and pourovers (another Devoción variety, Honey, imbues MADE’s espressos with bright floral and citrus notes). Increasingly, hotels are offering spaces that do more
than serve great joe: They invite you to linger. At Paper Factory Hotel (37-06 36th St., Long Island City, Queens, 718.392.7200), an industrial chic hotel not far from Astoria’s Museum of the Moving Image, guests and nonguests alike chill in the high-concept lobby, or meet in comfy niches on the main floor. Enjoy soft electronica music while sipping coffee produced at Queens’ very own micro-roaster, For Five Coffee. Coffee nerds will appreciate that For Five not only sources and roasts its beans, but also provides equipment, training and technical services to their clients for deep-track satisfaction. Not in the mood for caffeine? Full cocktail service is available after 5 pm, and a beer garden is coming soon. You’ll find a retro-Americana vibe at Grind, the yearold coffee spot at the front of restaurant Trademark Taste, located in Executive Hotel Le Soleil (38 W. 36th St., 646.858.2320). Casual imbibers will dig the streamlined, immersive eclecticism of the space, with exposed lighting, comfy padded banquettes and the neon “Stay Grindin’ NYC” sign. Aficionados might recognize the bright orange, computerized Mavam-UC2 espresso machine—it’s one of only 18 of the under-counter, twospout machines from Seattle-based Mavam, according to Grind. Music fans will enjoy wandering into TriBeCa’s fully refurbished Roxy Hotel Tribeca (2 Sixth Ave., 212.519.6600), where live jazz emanates nightly from both the lobby and the hotel’s boozy subterranean nightclub, The Django. But when morning comes, head to Jack’s Stir Brew Coffee (which can also be accessed from Sixth Avenue) for a kick-start. Straightforward, with an old-school Greenwich Village vibe, this outpost of the mini-chain offers guests a mellow option to grab and go or linger indoors or out (in nice weather), savoring all-organic coffees and vegan pastries.

While tea might not garner the same attention as its dark-roasted caffeine cousin, New York definitely appreciates the nuances of high-quality brews. In hotels, this largely gets translated to afternoon high teas—finger sandwiches artfully displayed, an array of bite-size desserts and impeccable service—ideal when it’s time to take a luxurious breather from the hectic city. When it comes to high tea, there is perhaps no spot in the city more iconic than The Palm Court in The Plaza New York hotel (768 Fifth Ave., 212.546.5300). The space got a full makeover three years ago (with the inclusion of an 18-seat oval bar at the center of the action). Decked out in palm trees and opulent British colonial-esque Kelly greens with a backlit stained-glass skylight, this is the place to wow and be wowed. The New Yorker’s Tea ($70 per person) features nearly fullsize sandwiches (including a very New York bagel and lox) and petits fours, along with an extensive selection of teas. For $40 more, add Champagne, lobster, foie gras and (for a further surcharge) caviar. For a more modern take on afternoon tea, make a reservation (at least 24 hours in advance) at the Baccarat Hotel & Residences New York (28 W. 53rd St., 212.790.8867). Sink into upholstered wingback chairs and enjoy diffused natural lighting from floor-to-ceiling windows in the Grand Salon, which give the impression you’re seated next to a crystal waterfall. The Baccarat’s friendly tea sommelier offers up specialty house blends, created exclusively with Paris-based tea merchants Mariage Frères. Canapés and gold foil-topped truffles arrive on (appropriately enough) a tiered Baccarat crystal statement piece, alongside some of the tastiest scones in the city. Seasonal menus (ranging from $65 to $600 per person, depending on upgrades) are inspired by English, French and Russian royal courts (with recommended Champagne pairings served in colorful Baccarat glassware for an additional price), but the salon’s contemporary muted whites and heather grays, and the staff’s welcoming service, root you squarely in the elegant, minimalist 21st century. On the opposite end of the decor spectrum is the Pembroke Room at The Lowell hotel (28 E. 63rd St., 212.605.6825). You get the feeling Laura Ashley and Jane Austen might have had a hand in designing this old-world space with its floral drapes, striped French side chairs and ornate carpeting. Menus ($55 to $97 per person) include classic cucumber sandwiches, smoked salmon, a wide variety of loose-leaf teas, and assorted pastries and petits fours served in a convivial atmosphere, popular with both local and visiting families. The Lowell offers an assortment of Dammann Frères loose leaf teas, and the room’s tea sommelier is happy to discuss the differences between first and second flush teas and estate sourcing, or, you can simply dive into a housemade scone with Devonshire cream.
IT’S 5 O’CLOCK SOMEWHERE
There is no shortage of top-notch hotel bars these days, whether you’re in Manhattan, Queens or Brooklyn. From buzzy social rooftops to mustachioed bartenders laboring over craft cocktails, locals and out-of-towners alike gravitate to these boîtes. The Bryant Park Hotel (40 W. 40th St., 212.642.2257) has replaced its nightclublike Cellar Bar with the Célon Cocktail Bar & Lounge, an Instagram-worthy Moroccan-inspired subterranean cocktail den. Perforated tin lighting creates ornate light-and-dark patterns on the arched ceilings, while sand dune “mirages” are projected on the walls as you nestle into pillow-strewn sofas and velvet club chairs. “We decided it would make a great sophisticated space where women, especially, would feel welcome,” says Managing Director Phil Columbo. Fair-trade rugs and pillows are sourced from women’s weaving cooperatives in Morocco’s Atlas Mountains, the DJ spins hypnotic “coastal” tunes, and the signature cocktail menu features visually appealing, well-balanced offerings like the Lavender Oasis (vodka, vermouth, lavender syrup) and the Casa Blanca (tequila, mezcal, pineapple). Where once there were a handful, there are now dozens of rooftop bars across the city, but few have views of the city that compare with those from The Blue Room at The Ides atop Brooklyn’s Wythe Hotel (80 Wythe Ave., Williamsburg, 718.460.8001). The 500-square-foot, Art Deco-inspired indoor/outdoor space attracts a young, hip crowd, and can get very busy on weekend nights. Get there early (4 pm most days, 2 pm on Friday and noon on Saturday and Sunday), and you’ll enjoy the unobstructed views of the Manhattan skyline, leather banquette seating, friendly service and tasty signature cocktails like the Sixth Floor Sling (Plymouth gin, allspice dram, apricot, cherry and lime sherbet). Though it’s only been open a couple of years, The Clocktower Bar in The New York EDITION hotel (5 Madison Ave., 212.413.4200) feels like it’s been the scene of a century of backroom deals, made over cigars by international power brokers. Part English hunt club, part Tammany Hall, this enveloping three-room space (bar, dining area, billiards room) is equally popular with businesspeople, fashionistas and influencers seeking a night out. In place of stuffy 19th-century royalty, countless gilt-framed images hanging on deep mahogany wood-paneled walls depict NYC artists, musicians and iconic city scenes. And, yes, that horseshoe bar is 100 per cent covered in 24-karat gold leaf. Signature cocktails are crisp, inventive and bright. Consider the Brooklyn Zoo with carrot and orange-infused Rutte genever (a malty ginlike spirit), cardamom Cointreau bitters, tonic, or the Dill or No Dill, made with gin, dill, cucumber, lemon juice, elderflower syrup and smoke salt solution. The bottom line: No matter what your choice of beverage, these hotels have got you covered. IN NEW YORK | JANUARY 2018 | 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 fare 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.
