Showtime for Kids
Here’s to Love
He’s from a rich family; she’s an orphan from the wrong side of the island. The young lovers in the Broadway musical “Once on This Island” are as deliciously star-crossed as Romeo and Juliet. With an infectious Caribbean score by Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens, clever direction by Michael Arden and a career-making performance from newcomer Hailey Kilgore as Ti Moune (right), the show is a sure bet for a romantic date night. | “Once on This Island,” Circle in the Square Theatre, 235 W. 50th St., 212.239.6200

Best Seat in the House
After almost three years, “Hamilton” at the Richard Rodgers Theatre is still Broadway’s hottest ticket. So, if you can’t obtain seats, here’s an alternative: The plush velvet “Hamilton” armchair (above), designed by RhubarbLondon to coincide with the revolutionary musical’s premiere in the West End this past December. Period-perfect, from fringed epaulets to brass buttons to balland-claw feet, the custom-made chair can be ordered from the manufacturer (rhubarblondon .com) and shipped from the UK to the States.

Kids’ Night on Broadway (kidsnight onbroadway.com)—when children 18 and under can see a Broadway show for free when accompanied by an adult paying full price for his/her ticket—is Feb. 27. But that doesn’t mean junior theatergoers aren’t welcome to the Great White Way at other times. Not when there are five musicals with definite kid-appeal now on the boards. Take Disney’s “The Lion King,” “Aladdin” and about-to-open “Frozen”: They amaze, charm and warm the heart. “SpongeBob SquarePants” is a DayGlo fun fest that has audiences of all ages up on their feet cheering. And “School of Rock” (left) about a teacher who brings out the inner rock ‘n‘ roll in his students is the ultimate wish fulfillment for all youngsters.

Every third Thursday of the month, this massive hub for all-cool-thingsrelated-to-science hosts guests enjoying science-themed cocktail concoctions and plates of food from local vendors ($5), during a neon-lit, 21-andover dance party with a monthly costume theme (February’s is Mardi Gras). Interactive exhibits, including a workshop on electromagnetic fields where guests can experience the Faraday cage (below), are included with admission. The largest planetarium in the Western Hemisphere and premium exhibit “Star Trek: The Starfleet Academy Experience” are accessible at extra cost. | Liberty Science Center, 222 Jersey City Blvd., entrance at Phillip St., Jersey City, New Jersey, 201.200.1000
The Green Room 42
This lounge—with graffiti-painted booths, a full dinner menu and no drink minimum—is hidden on the fourth floor of a sleek, modern hotel, where cabaret performances (e.g., The Skivvies, above), big-band jazz sets, musicals and solo artists fill out the venue’s eclectic calendar. Lillias White performs “Baby-Makin’ Music” on Valentine’s Day, in celebration of the entertainment hall’s first birthday. | YOTEL New York, 570 10th Ave., 646.449.7792

Photographing the Complex
New York photographer Peter Hujar (1934–1987) liked to describe his work as “uncomplicated, direct photographs of complicated and difficult subjects,” an on-point summation of the moments, subcultures and individuals that commanded his attention, like writer Susan Sontag (right, 1975). During an influential career cut short by AIDs, Hujar chronicled the Lower East Side worlds he inhabited—avant-garde dance, music, art, writing, drag performance and gay culture. His artful use of black-and-white film, which he printed himself, resulted in the psychologically charged photos that make “Peter Hujar: Speed of Life” so compelling. | The Morgan Library & Museum, 225 Madison Ave., 212.685.0008, thru March 20
Body Beautiful
If you ever thought fashion’s notion of beauty was unchanging, consider the bustle. Or Thierry Mugler’s bodyhugging velvet dress (below, 1981), an ode to hours spent in the gym. In “The Body: Fashion and Physique,” over three centuries of cutting-edge clothes form a captivating chronicle of how idealized female beauty shifted from a mature, curvaceous, wasp-waisted figure to a thinner, more youthful sylph to the diverse body types increasingly embraced by 21st-century designers. | The Museum at FIT, Seventh Ave., at W. 27th St., 212.217.4558, thru May 5
Having Your Pie and Eating It, Too
A self-described “observational painter,” Catherine Murphy is a poet of the prosaic. In larger than life paintings of everyday objects, she plays with ideas about realism, form and narrative. Consider her meticulously painted “Cherry Pie” (above, 2014). In this uncanny rendering, she pairs formal ideas about painterly abstraction with an awkward intrusion by an unseen dessert lover. | Peter Freeman Inc., 140 Grand St., 212.996.5154, thru Feb. 24

B
ECAUSE OF “KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL,” I can’t eat mussels. Nor can I eat seafood in a restaurant on a Monday, and I’m still skeptical about the bread basket that I get. And now I’m worried about the future of the world, if we don’t immediately compost our food waste. This is all because of what Anthony Bourdain told me in his 2000 memoir, “Kitchen Confidential.” The bad boy of the restaurant and culinary scene, Bourdain has risen to godlike status among foodies and restaurant cognoscenti, having spilled secrets about the dining industry and the food-related universe at large. Interestingly, the 61-year-old Bourdain says he never imagined being in this position. “I wrote ‘Kitchen Confidential’ because I love to write, and I wanted to share my thoughts about the insane restaurant world that I worked and lived in at the time. I was a fan of George Orwell’s ‘Down and Out in London and Paris,’ which described the life of a dishwasher, as I had been. I wrote a little piece in 1999, ‘Don’t Eat Before Reading This,’ sent it off to the New York Press [an alternative weekly newspaper, now folded], and after they sat on it for weeks, in a moment of drunken, late-night hubris, I said I’m taking it back and I sent it to The New Yorker.” Editor David Remnick ran it immediately. When a publisher contacted him for a book deal based on The New Yorker article, his life took a different turn. “Kitchen Confidential” became a megahit, and Bourdain was approached by a TV crew, who followed him around the city and in his kitchen at Les Halles for a year. “I had no expectation it was going to sell outside of New York,” he remarks, but the success of an international book tour left him feeling that he was “strong enough to pitch a TV series about eating around the world.” Thus began Bourdain’s TV food career. His first show, “A Cook’s Tour,” aired on The Food Network, 2002–2003 and showed off his brand of brash, call-it like-it-is reporting, which viewers loved. “I talk about what I see, as I see it … I am not a journalist, I’m a storyteller.” Anthony Bourdain grew up in Leonia, New Jersey, a selfdescribed “monstrous child, the nightmare version of the cranky teen” and an eventual college dropout. His renegade lifestyle and need for money led him to Provincetown, Massachusetts, where he took a job as a dishwasher at a flounder-and-friedclam restaurant. The people behind the scenes and the relentless pace intrigued him, and he enrolled in the Culinary Institute of America, where he was challenged to become a chef. He moved back to the New York area and worked as a chef and cook at restaurants like the Rainbow Room and the now-closed One Fifth and W.P.A. Armed with a CIA degree and a multirestaurant pedigree, he took the helm at Les Halles in the 1980s, where his memoir about the whirl and “high-speed hyperbolic prose” of days in a restaurant kitchen took seed. Bourdain has always loved writing. “As a kid I loved comic books and reading … before I brush my teeth, I roll out of bed
and start writing.” He adds, With ‘Kitchen Confidential,’ I was hoping it would be entertaining and familiar to people in the industry. I hoped when I accepted the challenge of a TV show, it would give me time to write another book. I never knew I would be on camera all the time.” “Layover” and “No Reservations” on The Travel Channel followed, along with CNN’s current “Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown,” with the latter moving into the arena of politics. “Some people say I should stay away from observations about a country’s problems, but food IS politics. It’s an intrinsic part of the historic fabric of a country: I’m going to show the real world, not just the touristic.” Working with major chefs and food specialists throughout the world, he released a documentary about food waste in 2016. In “Wasted,” Bourdain decries the amount of food wasted daily and espouses the need for better education and more ways to reuse uneaten food. He points to Chef/restaurateur Danny Bowien of New York’s Mission Chinese Food as a prime example of someone who uses every part of an animal to create delicious, often exotic dishes that leave nothing to send to landfill. “I’m a longtime working cook: We were taught from the very beginning that one must not waste food,” he says.” His newest cookbook, “Appetites,” an ode to home-cooked favorites, also shows ways to cook smarter for better food management. While he marvels at everything Asian and says he could live in Tokyo, if he were to pick any city in the world to move to, New York remains home. So, where does he eat when he’s not traveling the globe? He laughs, “I love the basics you can only get in New York like deli or dirty-water dogs. Queens has the best food. It’s an unexplored area that has everything.” You’ll also find him in Manhattan at Papaya King enjoying a crunchyskin hot dog slathered in sauerkraut, at Russ & Daughters indulging in a plate of chopped liver, or at Shake Shack with a burger in hand. For finer dining, he recommends Marea and Osteria Morini for pasta and Eric Ripert’s Le Bernardin for the kind of transformational meal that opened his eyes while he was a chef at Les Halles. Favorite times are spent at home, though, with his 10-year-old daughter, Ariane, cooking for her or ordering in pastrami on rye from Pastrami Queen. What’s on the docket for Bourdain? “I was intrigued by Detroit when I visited for ‘No Reservations’ and more so after I did a ‘Parts Unknown’ episode there in 2013,” he observes. “I think Detroit is one of the most beautiful cities in America—still. It’s where so many of our uniquely American dreams were forged.” To this end, he’s working on a historical series about Detroit in the 1960s. After that? “I’m starting a comic book series about chefs called ‘Hungry Ghosts.’ Some day, maybe I’ll teach creative writing.” In the meantime, he’s an annual guest at the Bronx Academy of Letters “Food for Thought” event, where he joins an elite group of chefs to raise funds for student programs, including literacy. Bravo, Bourdain, bravo. IN NEW YORK | FEBRUARY 2018 | INNEWYORK.COM

f
or Valentine’s Day dinner, you can easily find the tried-and-true triad of Champagne, oysters and chocolates, but the city’s most romantic restaurants offer so much more. Some of this year’s most alluring options include vegetarian tasting menus composed by a French Michelin chef; classic new American cuisine with sweeping views of the city skyline; truffle pasta in a room full of original Andy Warhol paintings; caviar service alongside Philip Johnson’s iconic Seagram Building pool; handmade dumplings in a glammed-up Chinatown hot spot; and a customizable tasting menu in a West Village hideaway modeled on a Provençal farmhouse. Book a table at any of the boîtes below, and be all but guaranteed to fall in love with your date—and New York City—all over again. Tucked into a quiet West Village street, Mas (39 Downing St., 212.255.1790), which means farmhouse in Old French, manages to be both extremely romantic—with low lighting, small vases of fresh flowers, quiet music—and downtown cool. James Beard Award-winning chef Galen Zamarra, a disciple of David Bouley, brings both extraordinary technique and generosity of spirit to his food, allowing diners to customize tasting menus. Zamarra, a devotee of local farms, changes his menus frequently, but among the must-try dishes, if they are available: wild American Hackleback caviar with crème fraîche panna cotta Champagne gelée; poached lobster with Kuri squash butter and preserved lemon; and braised pork belly with carrot puree, roasted baby squash and pickled mustard seeds. Mas’ kind and quietly enthusiastic waitstaff is also excellent at guiding IN NEW YORK | FEBRUARY 2018 | INNEWYORK.COM

diners, even suggesting off-the-menu options. Helmed by two chefs who trained at London’s esteemed River Café, downtown newcomer King (18 King St., 917.825.1618) is the apotheosis of French-Italian simple chic. With a daily changing menu and large picture windows, the small restaurant feels particularly fresh and lends itself to leisurely dining. Request table 45, nestled in a cozy nook in the dining room, and share a first course of whole lobster over the restaurant’s own tagliarini pasta, followed by a T-bone steak for two sourced from a Pennsylvania farm. Pair your dinner with one of the single-estate French or Italian vineyards featured on King’s well-considered wine list. The ultimate in glammed-up Asian fusion, Chinese Tuxedo (5 Doyers St., 646.895.9301) unites a Scottish

chef with Chinese-American and Australian owners, and the result is deliciously reimagined Chinese food in a dramatic bi-level space (corner booths provide intimate seating, so request one when you make your reservation). Named for Chinatown’s first fine dining restaurant and set in a candlelit former opera house on the Lower East Side, Chinese Tuxedo has a menu that ranges from appealingly vegetable-forward—like the salad of chilled Shanghai pak choi, cucumber, avocado and bean shoots in a white soy dressing—to old school carnivorous roasted duck with Chinese celery, basil, lychees and Chinkiang dressing. This month, chef Paul Donnelly will be studding his menu with romantic ingredients like oysters, uni and abalone, and adding cocktails like Joy Love Club, a champagne cocktail with Peychaud

bitters and oleo saccharum, and My Sherry Amour with Grand Marnier, manzanilla sherry and an orange twist on the rocks. If you feel like celebrating with a crowd, note that the restaurant holds its Chinese New Year banquet dinner on Feb. 17. One of the hottest new Manhattan restaurant openings, L’ATELIER Joël Robuchon welcomes the esteemed French chef back to New York in a sleek Chelsea dining room. Since his last Manhattan stint five years ago, Chef Robuchon has lost 60 pounds and embraced more organic, healthful cuisine, and his new restaurant offers a rare luxury: a sophisticated vegetarian tasting menu that’s just as considered as his carnivore and pescatarian options. Among the tempting choices: Maine lobster with black pepper and bok choy; caramelized free-range quail with foie gras, potato puree or eggplant confit, with fine herbs and a vegetable curry. Do not leave without ordering dessert, but dining on Valentine’s Day
yields its own rewards: All diners will leave with a box of artisanal chocolates. Led by Chef Rich Torrisi, The Pool (99 E. 52nd St, 212.375.9001) opened last summer in one of the city’s most spectacular dining rooms, replacing the legendary Philip Johnson-designed Four Seasons restaurant (which is reopening this spring a few blocks south). The Pool’s menu focuses on fresh raw and grilled seafood, decadent steaks and cocktails. Start with Santa Barbara sea urchin toast or foie gras, follow with scampi ravioli or one of the menu’s caviars, and continue with the classics—a whole grilled Dover sole or rack of lamb for two. Conclude your meal with one of the city’s best light desserts: a bowl of silky, housemade frozen yogurt with seasonal toppings like plum marmalade, strawberry crumble, yuzu curd or tomato honey. If you can’t get reservations, try The Pool Lounge, which offers small plates, Champagne by the glass and cocktails.

The ideal restaurant for Italophiles and art lovers, Casa Lever (390 Park Ave., 212.888.2700) has one of the world’s largest collection of Andy Warhol portraits and a menu and wine list full of Italian delights. Located in Midtown’s landmarked Lever House, the restaurant offers elegant but accessible service, and food options that range from the very light—perfectly dressed arugula salads and raw hamachi—to hearty prime beef served with red corn polenta. Reserve one of the leather banquette booths that frame the dining room (or for even more privacy, book the back private room, with its own Warhol gallery), and begin the meal with a glass of Franciacorta before tucking into Chef Domenico Natale’s potato gnocchi with Maine lobster, roasted cherry tomato and fresh basil or classic Milanese osso buco, a slow-braised veal shank, served with seared saffron risotto and bone marrow. To finish, another Northern Italian treat: the multilevel gianduia cake, with choco-

late and hazelnut in mousse, cream and crunch. With its sweeping views of both the Manhattan skyline and the Statue of Liberty, The River Café (1 Water St., DUMBO, Brooklyn, 718.522.5200) is the archetypal romantic treat, making it a popular destination for proposals and weddings. A pioneer when it opened under the Brooklyn Bridge 40 years ago, the restaurant launched some of the country’s best-known chefs, including Larry Forgione and Charlie Palmer. Start with East Coast Wellfleet and West Coast Kumamoto oysters, chilled on the half shell with lemon pepper granité, followed by crispy duck breast, its skin scented in lavender and crusted in spices, or black sea bass sautéed with lobster brown butter, served with grilled artichoke ravioli and fresh artichoke. Expect elegant service, and dress accordingly: The River Café may be the only Brooklyn restaurant requiring men to wear jackets. But that is pretty darn romantic, isn’t it?

The perfect drink choices to ward off winter’s chill. by Rachel Gould Amid the bitter cold of February, lush burgundy wines and warming whiskeys can be most appealing. But some NYC bars go further than that, with handcrafted cocktail menus offering hot drinks, running the gamut from timeless classics to aromatic inventions, as bold and zesty as New Yorkers themselves.
THE AVIARY NYC Perched on the Mandarin Hotel’s 35th floor, The Aviary NYC (80 Columbus Cir., 212.805.8800) boasts views of Central Park and the bordering Manhattan skyline. This concept bar from Chicago opened its Columbus Circle location in 2017, offering the same approach to inventive libations and small-plate pairings that originally placed its flagship on every cocktail connoisseur’s radar. Here, you can relive the days of old New York with a pre-Prohibition-inspired concoction, or opt for the “Dealer’s Choice,” a drink which The Aviary’s skilled bartenders will tailor to your personal preferences, be they sweet or dry; they’ll even consider your favorite cities and films to craft a drink that complements your very essence. Consider The Aviary an experience rather than a cocktail bar, and come prepared to experiment with the art of imbibing.
THE RUM HOUSE Hunker down in this old-world drinking den complete with rich wood paneling and luxe red hues. Conveniently nestled in Times Square’s epicenter, The Rum House (228 W. 47th St., 646.490.6924) is ideal for a pre-theater tipple or an intimate nightcap, but it also doubles as a buzzing jazz bar with its finger on the pulse of Manhattan’s vintage heartbeat. As the name suggests, The Rum House specializes in premium, spiced and aged rum-based libations alongside classic cocktails like the Moscow Mule (vodka, lime and house-made ginger beer) and the Old Fashioned (bourbon or rye with orange and Angostura bitters). On a cold winter’s night, the Hot Toddy (served year-round) might be just the ticket:
While the standard Hot Toddy is made with whiskey these days, the earliest American versions of the drink were made with rum, which is how The Rum House serves it (naturally). Also on tap might be seasonal mulled wine or cider.
BLACK MOUNTAIN WINE HOUSE The Adirondack chairs and lumber piles on the porch tip you off: An inviting rustic charm awaits at Brooklyn’s Black Mountain Wine House (415 Union St., 718.522.4340). Beyond its remarkable cabinlike wooden facade, this unpretentious space achieves a delightful country atmosphere facilitated by authentic farmhouse accents and a working fireplace in the back of an intimate saloon akin to a lodge. But it’s the hot mulled red wine—perfectly sweetened with “exotic spices” and garnished with a submerged cinnamon stick—that may just be the antidote to winter. On the menu, a selection of international cheeses, as well as small plates of simple, flavorful ingredients, pair harmoniously with an expansive list of wines and beers. Other winter drink specialties include the “Cold Autumner,” made with red wine, sherry, spiced cranberry and pink peppercorns; and the “Shider,” a seasonal concoction of sherry, apple cider and ginger beer.
DUTCH KILLS What was once an industrial no-go zone has turned into one of New York City’s most cultured destinations.

THE DEAD RABBIT GROCERY AND GROG With the familiar charm of an Irish pub and the stylish energy of an NYC lounge, The Dead Rabbit Grocery and Grog (30 Water St., 646.422.7906) is a celebrated spot boasting virtuosic cocktails and well over 100 varieties of Irish whiskey. Perhaps this is why the brainchild of two friends from Belfast was voted the “World’s Best Bar” in 2016. Through an extensive menu of libations, The Dead Rabbit tells the tale of Lower Manhattan circa 1850—a time in which an Irish-American criminal gang, the Dead Rabbits, ruled these very streets. With mixed drinks bearing names like “Trigger Happy,” “Wheeler Dealer” and “Shoot From the Hip,” each cocktail is a nod to the bar’s vintage surroundings. The bar also exhibits photographs and mementos to foster the tavern’s unmistakable air of no-fuss authenticity. But the star of the show is arguably its legendary Irish coffee. Made with Clontarf Irish Whiskey, one sip will obliterate those winter chills.
MIDDLE BRANCH Don’t let the inconspicuousness of Middle Branch (154 E. 33rd St., 212.213.1350), housed within an unmarked Murray Hill townhouse, deter you. This hidden gem occupies a former antiques shop, operating as a bi-level, speakeasy-style watering hole. A pressed tin ceiling and exposed brick walls foster a vintage ambience, elevated further by enviable views of the Empire State Building from a wrought-iron balcony on the bar’s second floor. Cozy up in this intimate space with a classic mulled wine; or opt for a bespoke concoction such as the “Warm Embrace,’’ made with whiskey, ginger liqueur, apple cider, lemon juice and cinnamon apple spice tea, or a “Ginger and Spice,” complete with a red wine and allspice liqueur, brandied cherries and a cinnamon stick. Founded by the late cocktail maven Sasha Petraske (Petraske was one of the earliest champions of “bartender’s choice” items now found on many cocktail menus), Middle Branch showcases the refined side of Murray Hill. And like all the other places mentioned here, it’ll help you forget all about winter.

Located on a quiet street, you will spot a nondescript facade but inside is a seriously spacious saloon, where friendly bartenders sling a slew of hot cocktails, from electrifying Irish coffee and the sweet “Dirty Banana” (rum, banana liqueur, house-made orgeat syrup, espresso, sweet whipped cream) to soothing Hot Toddies and smooth buttered rum. But it’s the bar’s own “Bear Trap,” made with bourbon, apple cider, honey, butter and cinnamon that proves a local favorite.

PARK SLOPE Park Slope, a neighborhood in northwest Brooklyn, takes its name from its location on the western slope of neighboring Prospect Park. Today, the residential streets are filled with young families and ambitious millennials, while the restaurant and retail scene just keeps getting buzzier. Stone Park Cafe (324 5th Ave., 718.369.0082) offers an upscale dining experience in the heart of the ’hood, highlighting seasonal and local ingredients. At Sidecar (560 5th Ave., 818.369.0077), you’ll see resident hipsters chowing down on this spot’s modern take on American food.

Housed in a Colonial-style stone house, this was also the original clubhouse for the Brooklyn Dodgers baseball team.
BROOKLYN HEIGHTS With its proximity to Manhattan, expansive New York Harbor views and Victorian-era brownstones, it’s no wonder that notables from Walt Whitman to Truman Capote have called Brooklyn Heights home.

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.
