THEATER NEWS by Francis Lewis

Tunesmith Andrew Lloyd Webber—his “Phantom of the Opera” is in its 31st year on the Great White Way!—tells all in his memoir, “Unmasked,” out on March 6.

Broadway is about to grow accustomed to the faces of Lauren Ambrose as Eliza Doolittle and Harry Hadden-Paton as Henry Higgins (below) in Lincoln Center Theater’s new production of the musical “My Fair Lady.” TV fans best know Ambrose from HBO’s “Six Feet Under.” As for Brit Hadden-Paton’s TV cred, he played the aristocratic chap who put a ring on Lady Edith’s finger in the finale of “Downton Abbey.” Loverly all around. | “My Fair Lady,” Vivian Beaumont Theater at Lincoln Center, 150 W. 65th St., 212.239.6200

No Ordinary Broadway Debut

As SpongeBob SquarePants in the exuberant musical of the same name, Ethan Slater (above) burns up the stage of the Palace Theatre, demonstrating acting, singing and dancing chops that belie his 25 years. He’s the ginger-haired wunderkind of the current season, and audiences soak him up. But like his character, taken from Nickelodeon’s animated phenomenon, he’s modest, good-natured and, yes, square-shouldered in the face of success. “I feel incredibly lucky,” Ethan told us, making the connection that the theater where he now stands in the spotlight is also the theater where he saw one of his first Broadway shows, “All Shook Up,” in 2005.

“I remember thinking how amazing those performers were, and I wanted to be good enough to share the stage with them,” he said.

So, 13 years later, is he living his dream? “To be a part of Broadway and in the same theater where I saw ‘All Shook Up’ is surreal.”

What’s not surreal is the probability that, come May, he will be nominated for a Tony Award. | “SpongeBob SquarePants,” Palace Theatre, 1564 Broadway, 877.250.2929

flavor of the month

WHAT’S TRENDING ON THE FOODIE SCENE

A RESTAURANT WITH SOME KIND OF backstory always adds to the dining experience. Butcher & Banker (481 Eighth Ave., 212.268.8455), the dramatic steak-centric restaurant located beneath the New Yorker Hotel, is built in the former Manufacturers Trust Company’s bank vault. The mammoth vault door is the restaurant centerpiece, with restored safe-deposit boxes decorating the walls. Lots of crimson red, a huge chandelier and dim lighting complete the sensual ambience. A tender, wellflavored porterhouse hit the sweet spot for this beef lover. If you are a chocolate fan, the Valrhona hot chocolate is not optional.

Speaking of gorgeous spaces, the new Italian resto, Bond 45 (221 W. 46th St., 212.869.4545), elicited a “wow” from me when I visited recently for lunch. The theatrical space, with lots of wood accents, imported Italian tiling and marble tabletops, is a real stunner. My companion and I hit the jackpot with the

three-vegetable antipasto, choosing from over a dozen items and settling on choices including fried artichokes and eggplant Parmesan worthy of anybody’s Italian mama. A few weeks later, after a long day of museumgoing, I was happy to plop down at a window table at Demarchelier (50 E. 86th St., 212.249.6300), the city’s well-established neighborhood bistro.This spot takes you as close to authentic Parisian fare as possible without the plane cost. Dishes like sweet-as-sugar chilled beets with crème fraîche, grilled salmon and bouillabaisse studded with chunks of seafood in a tomato-accented fish stock left us supremely satisfied. If you are in a Brooklyn state of mind, head to The Osprey (60 Furman St., 347.696.2505). Slatted-wood walls, lots of greenery and huge glass windows with a view of Brooklyn Bridge Park provide a fine setting for comfort food such as roast chicken with cabbage, hearty veggies and prime rib with horseradish cream.

AN DR IN A M E R I C A

Andrew Garfield has already made a major impact in Hollywood. Now, with “Angels in America,” he shakes things up on Broadway. By Rich Fisher ANDREW GARFIELD was 20 years old and still honing his acting skills when “Angels In America” came out as an HBO miniseries. It impacted him greatly at the time and even more so now. The 34-year-old Brit, who has since been nominated for an Oscar and two Golden Globes, will be playing the lead in the show he has so admired. He joins Nathan Lane in the two-part, seven-plus hour play at the Neil Simon Theatre, continuing their roles from last summer in London, when Tony Kushner’s drama became the fastest-selling show in National Theatre history.

Garfield won the prestigious 2017 Evening Standard Theatre Award for Best Actor for his British run in the show.

It is the second Broadway run for both “Angels” and Garfield. Garfield received a Tony nomination for his portrayal of Biff Loman in 2012’s “Death of a Salesman,” but being able to star in “Angels” is, as Garfield says, “beyond lucky.”

Garfield was raised in Epsom, a small town in Surrey, England. A self-described country boy who also feels at home in the

big city, Andrew started on UK television and stage. His feature film debut came in 2007’s star-studded “Lions for Lambs,” directed by Robert Redford. Garfield went on to appear in “The Social Network” (which nabbed an Oscar nom for Best Picture), gain a lead role in two Spider-Man reboots, and star in Martin Scorsese’s “Silence.” He has played some heavy roles, and “Angels” is no exception. Directed by Marianne Elliott, the complex story is an examination of AIDS and homosexuality in Ronald Reagan’s America during the 1980s. Garfield plays fey Prior Walter, a young gay man diagnosed with the disease. As a result, his boyfriend leaves him, and Prior begins to experience heavenly visions. Garfield recently talked to IN New York about how the play and his thoughts on returning to New York.

Do you enjoy coming to New York City?

Well, I always feel like I need to be in nature as much as possible.

But I also love New York City. A little intimate fact—I was con-

How did it change you?

ceived in this city. The beginning of my journey was New York.

I won’t go into all the details, I don’t even want to think about them myself. So, yeah, New York holds a very special place for me. When I was doing “Death of a Salesman,” I felt so embraced by the city.

What about “Angels” brought you back to Broadway?

Well, it was impossible to say no. I loved the experience of doing “Death of a Salesman.” It was one of the great creative experiences of my life so far. And then I did “Angels” in London, and we had a pretty remarkable time with it. We felt such a great need for this kind of play from the audiences, such a kind of longing for the nourishment that the play offers. To have the opportunity to bring it to a New York audience is just an opportunity you don’t pass up: It’s beyond lucky and such a privilege to bring it to Broadway.

I think the play is all about how people become who they are, or a more realized version of who they are. That’s why it takes a lot of hard work and diligence to become who you are in a world constantly telling you to be just like everyone else. I don’t know if I’m able to put it into words yet how it has changed me. Hopefully, it has made me kinder, more empathic, and brought me closer to remembering what’s important. Community is what’s important: Human beings really do need each other.

You’ve played some heavy roles—even your comic book character had his hang-ups. How does Prior rank comparatively?

What he’s going through is pretty heavy, obviously. The AIDS diagnosis he has at the beginning of the play is, as far as he’s concerned, a death sentence. That was, for so many young men in that period of time in that community, devastating. I can only imagine how you begin to compute that and reconcile your understanding of the universe with that kind of circumstance.

But I think one of the great virtues of Prior is his lightness, his elegance, his ability to transcend by facing his situation. Nobody in society tells him about being a gay man. He knows, underneath all that internalized shame or fear, that somehow this is some kind of sick punishment and that he is just fine as he has been created. He is so in touch with his own dignity. So it’s heavy, but he can handle it. He has a beautiful mixture of strength and hope, and it’s one of the reasons why the character has inspired so many people—straight, LGBT, anyone really.

With your theater schedule, do you have much time to sightsee here?

I love Central Park. Whenever I get any free time, I hang out in Central Park and go walking and bike riding. I love the West Side Highway, and I like getting out to Woodstock and upstate New York. I love getting into the wilderness out there. Sometimes, I’ll go surfing out in Montauk [Long Island], if the weather’s good. There’s a lot of great restaurants here. There’s a great Italian restaurant I love called L’Artusi, down in the West Village. Anywhere in the West Village you can find something great, on every corner. There’s also a great burger place [uptown in the Parker New York]—called Burger Joint.

You hear a lot of successful movie actors say they enjoy the filmmaking process, but there is nothing like a live audience.

What attracted you to this particular project?

I’ve been a huge fan of the play ever since I trained as an actor.

Mike Nichols directed the HBO series, and also, of course, directed “Death of a Salesman.” I remembered that HBO series as just having such a profound effect on me and my classmates.

The play itself is a transformational play. It changes the people who work on it, and it changes audiences who come to see it. People come to get healing; people come to be entertained; people come to laugh. But they also come to be woken up to the miracle of what it is to be a human being, to be alive. Every single character is so clearly drawn, and Prior is no exception.

It’s one of the great modern theatrical characters, I believe.

There’s no way I could have said no.

It’s just so much more about the connection between the audience and the performers. There’s no screen in between, there’s no larger than life—your face isn’t magnified to this grand scale.

It’s a humbler way of telling a story. There’s also a lot of magic in what the theater can do: The audience is using their imagination even more. I find it exhilarating: when you’re an audience in the theater, hopefully you are part of making that play. There’s an equal playing field between audience and actors.

So, you are saying that when I come see this play, you and I will be working together?

Yes, we’ll be working together. So, if you give me good energy, we’re gonna have a great night!

LOIS LEVINE: In 1964, the Brooklyn Museum finally opened the Jan Martense Schenck house to the public. The museum had saved the pre-Revolutionary War dwelling from destruction in 1952, dismantled it and stored it until it was ready to be put on display. Shortly after the opening, my family and I (who lived in Canarsie, Brooklyn) piled into the family station wagon with great excitement to see Schenck’s home, built around 1676. This was a big deal for Brooklyn, and Canarsie in particular. One of the oldest residences in the United States, the house originally sat in the Flatlands, right near Canarsie. As I walked through the two-room structure, I imagined the Colonial family living inside this tiny red building. I remember looking at the simple wood dinner table, chairs and clapboards, and feeling that I was somehow connected to these 17th-century Schencks, who had lived close enough for me to have ridden my bike to, but who had been on Earth before America was even—well, America! It all felt wondrous to me.

I feel similar delight whenever I visit the American Museum of Natural History: Oh, those darkened halls in the Akeley Hall of African Mammals, with those meticulously crafted dioramas of elephants and gorillas and lions. I love to look at them and imagine these beautiful beasts alive, hunting or grazing or just sleeping in the hot sun or a cool cave, out in the wild or on the plains.

The Guggenheim, with its focus on modern and contemporary art, is very different from these two museums. But while the Guggenheim’s exhibits are world-renowned, I find its environment equally compelling. Ever since opening in 1959, the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed structure has been called everything from “a highly expressive, intensely personal museum” to “an indigestible hot cross bun.” For me, that wide, white spiral ramp that ends at a domed skylight is always an adventure: I feel like I am out hiking some grand trail that happens to be flanked by world-class modern art. What a trip!

To use a word in common parlance today, I had an “experience” this past December. I sat in the front row of Radio City Music Hall during the Christmas Spectacular. In all my (many) years of going to this theater, I had never been that close to the stage. It was awesome. The Rockettes high-kicked and performed their precision moves just for me. At least that was the illusion.

The reality was, every one of the 6,000 seats was filled. So, to feel happily isolated in such a crowd definitely ranks as an “experience.” But then the resplendent Art Deco Music Hall has always been an experience.

I remember it as a movie palace, showing first-run Hollywood films that alternated with a stage show—starring

Since then, orchestras like the Philadelphia Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic (I know it’s a sacrilege to say, but to this ear the Philharmonic sounds better here than in its Lincoln Center home), sopranos like Frederica von Stade and Joyce DiDonato, and musicians like Yo-Yo Ma and Evgeny Kissin have held me in thrall. Programming is not always classical, though. The Beatles rocked the joint in 1964, Bono in 2015. Every time I go, I’m reminded of Judy Garland’s quip during her triumphant 1961 Carnegie Hall concert. “We’ll stay all night,” she said to cheers. “I don’t ever want to go home.” My sentiments exactly.

When it comes to Broadway theaters, my favorite is the New Amsterdam, an Art Nouveau masterpiece from 1903

Left: Carnegie Hall. Right: Telly Leung in “Aladdin.”

the Rockettes, of course—throughout the day. I remember nipping in before noon for 99 cents, carrying a foil-wrapped chicken sandwich for a “picnic” lunch. When movies gave way to concerts in the 1980s, I sat in the upper balcony to see an icon, Ella Fitzgerald. Today, rock stars do their thing.

Entertainment patterns have changed, but the magnificent lower-level men’s room is a constant. The ca. 1930s pedaloperated hand dryers still work, albeit emitting a whisper of air that in the age of Xlerators may try your patience.

Relax: The Music Hall is a place to escape to, not from.

I have a vague recollection of my first visit to Carnegie Hall: a children’s morning matinee of “Peter and the Wolf.”

that Disney Theatrical Productions reclaimed from neglect and decay, restored to perfection and revivified as a house for its live musicals. While Radio City Music Hall is sleek and geometric, and Carnegie Hall is old-world and elegant, the New Amsterdam is peaceful and pastoral. Architecturally, it’s an enchanted fairy-tale forest, festooned with plaster garlands of flowers and peopled with woodland nymphs.

Here, I heard “The Lion King” roar, watched with mouth agape as Mary Poppins ascended to the treetops above me and shared a magic carpet ride with Aladdin, whose namesake show is the current occupant. Is this not the happiest place on the Great White Way?

DANIEL FRIDMAN: My list of reasons as to why New York City is the greatest place in the universe to live evolves constantly. On the top of my long list of reasons as to why a person would sacrifice spacious living quarters and consistent weather patterns to move here is the selection of music halls in this town. Hundreds of venues— ranging from 100-person-capacity rooms to 20,000-plus arenas to grass fields doubling as concert grounds—set stages nightly for music fans keen on indulging their passion for sound.

Rockwood Music Hall, to me, is the epitome of all that makes New York’s music scene great. The variety of indie performers is widely diverse. Several acts perform on the venue’s three stages nightly, offering up to 330 guests a hodgepodge of artistry in a wood-paneled space. Compared to other music spaces in NYC, the cost is minimal.

Entry on most evenings is between $10 and $20 and includes sets of between five and 20 artists. Shows here start

as early as 3 pm on Saturdays and can run as late as 2 am.

The music hall is smack-dab in the heart of the alwaysbuzzing Lower East Side, three blocks from Mercury Lounge, another offbeat music hotbed with a 250-person capacity and equally terrific acoustics. The icing on this very affordable cake? Once the show wraps, this city goes strong for at least another two hours. Walk 500 feet to Arlene’s Grocery, a tiny, classic jam hub, and catch more live music (or live-band karaoke) of the heavier-rock variety.

Bigger names don’t have to mean a trek to Madison Square Garden or Barclays Center, either. The meat-andpotatoes of NYC’s mainstream music scene can be found at an array of midsize venues. Irving Plaza, Brooklyn Steel, Beacon Theatre, Warsaw and many more, not to mention, bunches of jazz halls open until or past 4 am. Music lovers itch for live performances when they’ve been starved of a musician’s graces for too long. Here, you’ll never get tired of scratching that itch.

gotta laugh What’s better than a night of hilarity and the chance for a famous comic to drop in? By Rich Fisher

i

f the news is true—that laughter has myriad health benefits, from decreasing stress hormones to increasing immune cells to triggering the feel-good endorphin chemicals—then New York is the right place to be. Unknown comics have become megastars by joking their way to the top from these very stages, while you benefit from the guffaws.

One of the pioneers is Carolines on Broadway (1626 Broadway, 212.757.4100) in Times Square. Opened by comedy fan Caroline Hirsch in 1982 as a small cabaret, young acts like Jerry Seinfeld, Artie Lange, Tim Allen, Billy Crystal, Rosie O’Donnell and Jay Leno drew crowds that led to a larger venue in the South Street Seaport, where it became home to A&E Network’s “Caroline’s Comedy Hour.” Hirsch moved to her current location in 1992; the colorful and comfortable nightclub seats 300 in the showroom (with a two-beverage minimum) and 80 in the supper lounge. An extensive menu includes appetizers, salads, sandwiches, pizzas, entrées and desserts.

“I felt strongly about making something that wasn’t the typical dark, smoke-filled room with a faux-brick backdrop,” Hirsch says. “I wanted to elevate the comedy experience. I believe that the ambience is very important to the overall club experience.”

Those in the seats are often as entertaining as those on the stage. One of Hirsch’s great memories came when Jeff Garlin was struggling with a heckler before a voice in the back of the room began to heckle the heckler in a thick Scottish accent. The “Scotsman” was Garlin’s friend, Robin Williams, who promptly did a 45-minute impromptu set.

“An unforgettable night,” Hirsch says.

As was the evening O’Donnell officially came out as a lesbian while performing at an Ovarian Cancer Research Fund benefit. She tore through a raucous set when, according to Hirsch, “she bluntly proclaimed ‘I’m a dyke’ to a crowd that included Bette Midler and Edie Falco.”

You never know who might show up at Carolines: Numerous superstars still pay homage to their comedic launchpads. Chris Rock, Amy Schumer, Seinfeld and Jon Stewart, among others, have all given audiences a thrill with surprise sets at Carolines.

Another iconic home to hilarity is the Comedy Cellar (117 MacDougal St., 212.254.3480), which was opened in 1982 by the late Manny Dworman and Bill Grundfest, a successful television writer and producer. In 2013, a sister venue, called the Village Underground (130 W. 3rd St., 212.777.7745), debuted around the corner. Dworman’s son, Noam, owns both clubs. The Cellar is talked about in reverent tones by the best in the business, and served as a springboard for such stand-up-and-comers as Ray Romano, Stewart, Sarah Silverman, Rock and Schumer. Nearly every big comedic name has been on its stage. The club also IN NEW YORK | MARCH 2018 | INNEWYORK.COM

the Upright Citizens Brigade, a comedy troupe consisting of Amy Poehler, Matt Besser, Ian Roberts and Matt Walsh (known as the UCB4). The West 42nd Street location showcases improv, variety and stand-up. In 2011, Upright Citizens Brigade East (153 E. 3rd St. 212.366.9231) opened with a similar roster. The Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre Training Center, at 520 Eighth Ave., teaches long form improv, sketch, writing, directing and various other comedy skills to anyone who is interested.

“We label ourselves as an improv and sketch comedy theater, because that is also what we teach at our Training Centers and it is the UCB4’s background,” Artistic Director Shannon O’Neill says. “When we opened our East Village Theater, we expanded into having a handful of stand-up shows a week.”

The Hell’s Kitchen club seats 160 and the East Village venue can fit 110. Both are theater settings with no tables, but each have bars that serve beer and wine (there is no drink minimum). One of the best bargains around, admission can range from free to $12 to watch potential future stars. There are three to four different shows each night, and O’Neill notes that the audience can be exposed to im-

There is a two-drink minimum and a light fare of appetizers, salads, sandwiches and desserts are offered in the comfortable, relaxed setting.

“Everyone would rather be in a nice place, compared to a place that smells like stale beer and your feet stick to the floor,” says owner Chris Mazzilli, a native New Yorker.

“We maintain the club very well.”

Mazzilli and Michael Reisman opened Gotham on West 22nd Street in 1996 before moving to the current location in 2005. During those first 10 years, the club helped launch Dave Chappelle, Jim Gaffigan and Kevin Hart. It also provided a backdrop for “Comedian” and the pilot for the HBO TV show, “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” In addition, Comedy Central aired “Live at Gotham” for two years and NBC’s “Last Comic Standing” produced its Season Five shows from there.

Hart, whose first NYC club appearance was at Gotham, and Gaffigan have both returned to perform. Mazzilli adds, “One of the great things that happened this past year is Jerry Seinfeld came and brought Dave Chappelle and they both did sets in front of a shocked crowd.” Mazzilli is also proud of the fact that comedians of all eras have performed there, from Robert Klein to Jackie Mason to Dane Cook to Roseanne Barr.

Providing an alternative to strictly stand-up is Hell’s Kitchen’s UCB Theatre (555 W. 42nd St., 212.366.9176), which in 1996 was relocated from Chicago to New York by

prov, sketch and stand-up from up-and-comers to established talent “that you’ll want to tell your friends about,” all in one evening.

O’Neill performs on Fridays with improv comedy group The Stepfathers and appears every Sunday night hosting and performing in UCB’s longest-running show, also considered the gold standard of improv, “ASSSSCAT 3000.”

She is also the star’s sidekick on truTV’s “Chris Gethard Show”and feels strongly that the informality of UCBT is one of its great assets.

“Each theater is very intimate,” she said. “The audience feels like they’re right there with the performers, and at the end of each show, everyone leaves feeling like they experienced something special together. It’s also a very supportive community, especially for shows featuring newcomers and first-time performers.”

Two of UCBT’s most famous products are SNL alumni Poehler and Tina Fey, the latter frequently joining Poehler in “ASSSSCAT.” Big names also include Comedy Central’s “Broad City” duo of Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson, and Aziz Ansari from Netflix’s “Master of None.” Others to come through include Ellie Kemper (“Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,” also on Netflix) and Kate McKinnon and Bobby Moynihan from NBC’s “Saturday Night Live.” Famous alums who have returned to perform include Schumer, Judd Apatow and Silverman.

Clearly, you will find no shortage of comedic relief in the Big Apple.

served as a backdrop for Seinfeld’s 2002 film, “Comedian,” and was featured in the opening sequence of Louis C.K.’s show, “Louie.” Two of the Cellar’s staples are legendary booker Estee Adoram, who’s nearly as famous as the acts she books; and the “comic table,” where that night’s performers gather.

Parties are limited to eight or less at the MacDougal Street location, which seats approximately 150. And while tight quarters sometimes make maneuvering tough, it provides a cozy atmosphere for an involved audience that sits nearly face to face with the performers. The Village Underground can hold 200, and both have a two-item minimum that can include food or drink. Both sites share the same full menu as the Olive Tree Café and Bar, which sits above the Cellar and offers salads, borschts and Middle Eastern meals. Olive Tree customers might run into some of the evening’s comedians hanging out after their set, so keep an eye out.

A very different kind of ambience is found at Gotham Comedy Club (208 W. 23rd St., 212.367.9000), a 1929 structure sitting next to the historic Chelsea Hotel. The main showroom, painted in warm red tones with gleaming

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. For some great Brooklyn culture, visit The Old Stone House (336 3rd St., 718.768.3195), where you can learn about the Battle of Brooklyn, the largest battle of the American Revolution. 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. First stop is the Promenade, a boardwalk overlooking the Statue of Liberty and Downtown Manhattan. Enjoy a flight of beers, dinner, brunch or lunch at the functioning brewery/restaurant, Circa Brewing Co. (141 Lawrence St., 718.858.0055). At Colonie (127 Atlantic Ave., 718.855.7500), have a first-class dinner in a space with a lush vertical garden wall. Men will find sophisticated clothing at Goose Barnacle (91 Atlantic Ave., 718.855.2694). Those interested in trains love the New York Transit Museum (Boerum Pl., 718.694.1600), built inside an old subway station. Learn about the city’s subway system and climb aboard vintage cars from the early 1900s, festooned with period advertising.

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.
