THEATER NEWS by Francis Lewis
Shakespeare in Season
The Bard’s plays are always ripe for interpretation, especially Off-Broadway this summer. Actor/writer/director Austin Pendleton has combined passages from “Henry VI, Part 3” and “Richard III” into a new work, “Wars of the Roses: Henry VI & Richard III” (proveavillain.com), in which Matt de Rogatis as Richard (left) sinks his claw into one of theater’s most hiss-worthy villains. Since music is essential to any Shakespeare production, why not have some fun and turn “Measure for Measure” into “Desperate Measures” (right, desperatemeasuresmusical.com), a musical romp set in the American Wild West? On the same note, songwriter Shaina Taub reworks the comedy “Twelfth Night” (publictheater.org) for today, with plenty of contemporary sass and songs. After all, the play’s the thing.
Get Your Disco On The good old days of 1970s disco are back in full force. So, get up and dance! • “Summer” (thedonnasummermusical .com) at Broadway’s Lunt-Fontanne Theatre is not just a biomusical about the life and career of Donna Summer, the queen of disco. It’s a hit parade of two dozen of her greatest hits. The cast, led by Ariana DeBose (left) as one of three onstage Donnas, works hard for the money. • Be the first to experience Spiegelworld’s “We Are Here” (spiegelworld.com), an immersive history of disco at the East Village’s GlitterLoft, July 31 thru Aug. 4, before it boogies out of town to Vegas. • “This Ain’t No Disco” (atlantictheater .org), the ironically titled Off-Broadway rock opera, goes behind the velvet ropes and strips the glitz and grit from former hot spots Studio 54 and Mudd Club.

4 FOR AN OUT-OF-TOWNER looking to find a pre-theater restaurant as bustling as Broadway, Becco (355 W. 46th St., 212.397.7597) is your spot. By 5:30 pm most nights, the elegant, bi-level restaurant is packed, as eager eaters enjoy signature dishes that include housemade pastas, a well-balanced Caesar salad and pan-fried breaded veal chop. Cote (16 W. 22nd St., 212.401.7986) took the Korean restaurant scene by storm when it opened last year. Consider this New York Times headline: “This May Be the Best Beef at Any Korean BBQ in New York.” The dol-sot bibimbap (mountain vegetables and a soft-poached egg) is divine, but if you have a group, get your party to order the Butcher’s Feast, a seven-course meal of

small plates, beef, vegetables and more. Old Rose (113 Jane St., 212.255.4143) in the Jane Hotel, comes with a storied past: In 1912, the hotel was a seamen’s inn that took in many of the survivors of the Titanic, when the ship‘s rescue liner, the Carpathia, docked in Manhattan. Romantic tragedies aside, the casual, cheery spot offers simple, fine fare like pickled veggies (yummy!), crispy pizza and hearty chopped kale salad. Ocean Prime (123 W. 52nd St., 212.956.1404) impresses even before you arrive, with online menus in six different languages that can be waiting at your table, if you request them at the time of your reservation. Oh, and the generously portioned seafood (poke dishes, blackened snapper) is far from shabby, too.

THE AFTER-DARK SCENE by Daniel Fridman
Keep It Old-School Step (and sip) back in time at these quintessentially New York retro drinkeries. (1) Deep inside the brick-walled and wood-paneled dining room at Uncle Jack’s Meat House, guests can find a unisex lavatory (where a giant mirror snaps selfies and prints Polaroids with a finger’s touch). On Friday and Saturday nights, this bathroom turns into an entryway to a 50-plus-seat speakeasy, with lounge-style seating (velvet-roped suede sofas), a massive steel vault door, a bar lit with hanging glass lamps and chandeliers, and a small DJ booth. Prohibition-era decor sets the scene for a food menu offered exclusively at this downstairs weekend hideaway, and top-shelf liquor bottle service is available for those looking for a “VIP” experience. | Bootlegger Jack’s Hidden Speakeasy, 36-18 Ditmars Blvd., Astoria, Queens, 917.745.1553

The affordable food-and-drinks program offers 12 pizzas for $15 each, housemade middle-shelf liquor cocktails for $10, top-shelf cocktails for $15 and premier-liquor cocktails (e.g., Johnnie Walker Blue Label) for $20. | The Woodstock, 446 W. 14th St., 212.633.2000 (3) Black leather booths and barstools and wooden bars, floors, tables and chairs furnish this classically American, retro, upscale tavern, where an after-work crowd regularly turns into a late-night crowd, and a late-night kitchen caters to hungry guests until 1 am Tu-Sa.

FASCINATING ART DISPLAYS by Francis Lewis
(1) DEEP FREEZE A snowman, says artist Peter Fischli, is “a sculpture that almost anyone can make.” However, maintaining the figure’s composure year-round, especially during summer, requires artistic imagination aided by technology. Take Fischli and his collaborator David Weiss’ artwork, “Snowman.” It chills in a glass-enclosed freezer in the Museum of Modern Art’s Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden. | 11 W. 53rd St., 212.708.9400 (2) PAJAMA PARTY For artists Paul Cadmus, Jared French and Margaret French, Jared’s wife—known collectively as PaJaMa—summer in the 1940s and early 1950s was an idyllic season, which they captured in black-andwhite photographs of friends and lovers posing on the sun-kissed, sandy beaches of Massachusetts’ Nantucket Island and New York’s Fire Island. Dozens of these realistic, yet dreamlike and often erotic prints are in the exhibition, “PaJaMa: Magic Realism,” at the Keith de Lellis Gallery. | 41 E. 57th St., Ste. 703, 212.327.1482, thru Aug. 10

from Wentz he came FALL OUT BOY FRONT MAN PETE WENTZ TALKS MUSIC, KIDS AND TIMES SQUARE.
By Gwen Orel
NOT MANY rock bands take a hiatus while they’re ahead, then come back together again. Fall Out Boy has made a big journey since it began as a punk band in Wilmette, Illinois, in 2001. The band broke through in a major way in 2005 with their album, “Under the Cork Tree,” and received a Best New Artist nomination at the 2006 Grammy Awards. After two more albums, the band took a break from 2010 to 2012, regrouping in 2013. “Mania,” which came out in 2018, is the band’s fourth album to hit No. 1. Today, their music has been compared to legendary groups like Queen: “[They have an] ability to fuse [a] Queen-ly operatic stomp with an elastic vision of pop,” said Rolling Stone writer Jon Dolan. The co-founder of the band, 39-year-old Pete Wentz, bass player and lyricist, has worked as a model, nightclub owner, author and artist. He runs a film production company, is co-owner of Arizona’s Phoenix Rising soccer club and also works with charities such as UNICEF. He has his own record label, DCD2 Records, and has even designed a signature Squier Precision Bass guitar. All this from someone who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at age 18, and attempted suicide in 2005, which is described in the song, “7 Minutes in Heaven (Atavan Halen).” Wentz’s lyrics are also known for their references to such writers as Ernest Hemingway and Charles Bukowski. Wentz, 39, has three children including a son, born in 2008, with ex-wife Ashlee Simpson, an American singer-songwriter/ actress. The couple divorced in 2011. Wentz also has two children with girlfriend/model Meagan Camper: another boy, born in 2014, and a daughter born this past May. Wentz, who lives with his family in the L.A. area, performs with Fall Out Boy at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, on Sept. 4.

Are audiences different in New York than elsewhere?
Yeah, I think that culturally where you are informs the way the crowd reacts. Tokyo is very quiet and wants to hear everything we say. New York’s a pretty rowdy crowd, usually. Talking about crowds: When we first started coming to New York, we would always end up with the crowds in Times Square, not realizing we were in the most touristy part of the city.
Left to right: Co-founder of Fall Out Boy and lead guitarist Joe Trohman, rhythm guitarist Patrick Stump, drummer Andy Hurley and Wentz.
How do you find all the time to do all your many projects?
Yeah, I probably have ADHD [laughs]. I try to focus on one thing, and then on the next thing. You also find people who have expertise in different fields and learn from them. Right now, I’m into jewelry making. I’ve watched a ton of YouTube tutorials, but now I need somebody to teach me how to do it. [laughs]. I want to do metalwork, and I have all these ideas, but I feel like I’ve got to apprentice under somebody first. Why did you choose to play the bass?
I played piano when I was little. I played a little bit of guitar, just goofing around. My friends were starting a band, had two guitarists and didn’t have a bassist. I said, “I think I can be the bassist!” I was 13 or 14. I didn’t realize bass was its own thing, completely different. I kind of faked my way through the band. I like being in the rhythm section. If you listen to Bruno Mars or Guns N’ Roses, you don’t really know you’re hearing the bass line, but it’s what is making the song move. It’s like the underlying melody.
When you play in Newark, will you have time to be tourists?
We always make sure we have some extra time in New York. One of my favorite places is this shoe shop Kith. They have this section of the store called “Treats,” a cereal and ice cream bar. That’s pretty hard to pass up when I’m in town. A lot of my friends live around Union Square, and my brother lives in Brooklyn, so I kind of go everywhere. We also try to get out and see the neighborhood around the venue that we are playing in.
Who would you say are your fans now?
Yeah, I don’t know, because over such a long period of time the spectrum has gotten wider and wider. We have fans who know the one song that’s been in a movie or on the radio, and fans who embrace the body of work, and we’ve got to make the experience work for everyone. How would you describe your music these days?
Does your family come on tour?
Oh, definitely, they come out on the road. The kids like the tour buses, and there are video games and snacks. It’s like the ultimate kids’ hangout!
I think it’s really hard to label it. At the end of the day, the goal is to become like Metallica, where your name is the descriptor: “It sounds like Metallica.” We’re not there yet, but we are headed there. IN NEW YORK | AUGUST 2018 | INNEWYORK.COM

Morris-Jumel Mansion
HEARTH & HOME
From simple to regal, here are the homes of some of the city’s most legendary residents. BY LOIS LEVINE
Merchant’s House Museum
NEW YORK is a city known for its largesse—grand department stores, sprawling museums, seriously tall buildings. But there is a gentler, smaller side to this town, where you can visit both modest and elegant dwellings of former New Yorkers—from poets to politicians to everyday folks. Today, these treasured homes are open to the public so that you, too, can get a glimpse of what life was like in Old New York, when a calling card was needed for a gentleman to pay a lady a visit, and, way before overly caffeinated New Yorkers made their afternoon run to Starbucks, teatime began promptly at 4 pm.
EDGAR ALLAN POE COTTAGE
Once upon a time, in the wilds of what was then Westchester County and is now the Bronx, sat a cheerful-looking, small white farmhouse, built in 1812. It was owned
by a number of people throughout the years, but in 1846, Bostonian poet, writer and critic Edgar Allan Poe rented the cottage for five dollars a month and moved in with his wife, Virginia, and mother-in-law, Maria Clemm. Having spent time in Manhattan, they favored the farm for its bucolic setting. Although Poe died in 1849, he penned some of his most famous poems in the house, including “Annabel Lee” and “The Bells,” supposedly, while the family cat sat on his shoulder. The house was later moved across the street and today sits in Poe Park, open to the public as a museum. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the home, though modest by any measure, was apparently a delight to the Poe family. Poe himself described it as “beautiful,” and his mother-in-law extolled, “it was the sweetest little cottage imaginable: Oh, how supremely happy we were.” IN NEW YORK | AUGUST 2018 | INNEWYORK.COM

MORRIS-JUMEL MANSION
Built in 1765 as a summer villa by Colonel Roger Morris and his wife, Mary Phillips, Morris-Jumel Mansion sits in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan, the oldest remaining house on Manhattan Island. In 1810, Stephen Jumel purchased the home and lived there with his wife, Eliza Bowen, a woman who amassed her own wealth through real estate. After Stephen died, in 1832, Eliza married Aaron Burr (the former vice president of the United States, who killed Alexander Hamilton in a duel in Weehawken, New Jersey). The marriage only lasted a year: Eliza filed for divorced in 1833 and continued to live in the house until her death, at age 90, in 1865. In 1904, the city of New York purchased the house and turned it into a museum. Today, the house has been meticulously revived with period carpets and wallpaper, and features nine restored rooms, along with artifacts that belonged to Roger Morris, Eliza Jumel and Aaron Burr. Water-pipe damage last winter caused the house to be closed to the public, but, as we went to press, we were told the mansion should be reopen before the end of July.
BARTOW-PELL MANSION
Back in 1654, British physician Thomas Pell, who was then residing in Connecticut, bought 50,000 acres of land in lower Westchester County from the native Lenape peo-
20
IN NEW YORK | AUGUST 2018 | INNEWYORK.COM
ple, and built a home on the premises. In 1836, publisher Robert Bartow (a descendant of Pell) purchased the dwelling for his wife and children, and turned it into a Grecian-style stone mansion. The estate, which had grown to include an additional 220 acres of land, remained in the Bartow family until 1888, when it was acquired by New York City (part of it was parceled out to become what is now Pelham Bay Park). In 1946, the estate opened as a museum; in 1977, it gained status as a Designated National Historic Landmark. The palatial house includes a dramatic, freestanding spiral staircase, The Orangery (a conservatory), double parlors and an upstairs reception room.
MERCHANT’S HOUSE MUSEUM
This 1832 late-Federal brick home became the residence of hardware merchant Seabury Tredwell and his family in 1835. Tredwell, his wife and eight children lived there for most of their lives. Seabury’s youngest child, Gertrude, died in 1933, in the upstairs front bedroom, at the age of 93. The Old Merchant’s House, as it was called, was designated a New York City landmark in 1965. It consists of four floors: The top floor was occupied by Irish servant girls, on call 24 hours a day (with one afternoon off a week). The building, virtually unchanged since 1832, is also believed to be haunted. You be the judge.

TAKE A TRIP OUT EAST TO THE HAMPTONS AND FIND OUT WHY NEW YORKERS CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT THEM. BY BOB CANNON

IN NEW YORK | AUGUST 2018 | INNEWYORK.COM
NEED TO GET AWAY? From Westhampton to Montauk, the Hamptons are New York’s perennial escape from the heat and the streets of the city: a string of villages and hamlets, where a tasteful sense of cool abounds, docksiders can be a high-fashion item, and every culinary taste from elegant to easy is served daily and nightly. The Hamptons history as a draw for the wealthy goes back to the late-19th century, when the farming community (made up of mostly potato farmers) began to shift to a resort community (thanks, in large part, to the establishment of direct rail links to New York City), and well-to-do city dwellers started building spacious cottages and mansions for summer retreats. Wrote The New York Times, back in 1893: “The beautiful villages clustering around old Southhampton and the incomparable Shinnecock Hills combine to make as close an approach to Eden as can be found in a long journey. Exclusive—in the best sense of the word—society is here, represented during the summer by its choicest spirits. Well-bred men and women find a congenial atmosphere, refined attractions in plenty and innumerable charms about these quaint old villages.” Rather remarkably, most of that can still apply to the Hamptons of 2018. But don’t take our word for it. Get out there to see for yourself.

Here is a small sampling of what is available at these coveted enclaves, home to everyone from Paul Simon to Christie Brinkley to Howard Stern.
Getting There
Afraid of traffic? Fuhgeddaboudit! By car, bus, train or even air, the Hamptons are easily accessible. The Long Island Expressway or the Southern State Parkway can deliver you there via car or van in less than three hours. The Long Island Railroad offers reserved trains in addition to its regular schedule. Likewise, you can reserve a ride on the Hampton Jitney, which offers reclining seats, overhead reading lights and a lavatory. For high rollers, there’s even helicopter service from Heliny.com, Zip Aviation or Blade; depending on where in the Hamptons you are traveling to, the ride from Midtown is roughly 35 to 45 minutes.

Westhampton
The Hamptons start at Westhampton, where good eats and sweeping ocean views seem to be around every corner. Only about two hours from NYC, it’s good even for a day trip. Once there, try Eckart’s Luncheonette, which has been serving up tasty breakfasts and brunches at the homey Mill Road location for more than 100 years. John Scott’s Surf Shack on Dune Road, on the sandy narrow strip that is Westhampton Beach, combines beachfront ambience with satisfying food (garlic-lime shrimp, Surf Shack lobster bake) and a laid-back feel. A beach-bash vibe surrounds The Patio on Main Street in Westhampton Beach, with steaks and seafood, friendly service and live music that makes waves on the weekends. And, for a different kind of shopping trip, visit Pawcasso, an art studio and pet boutique that also offers art lessons.

Southampton
Moving up the coast, you’ll pass through the village of East Quogue, a part of Southampton that features lowkey resorts like the Grassmere Inn, with airy rooms near Westhampton Beach and shopping. For a more luxurious stay, there’s Bowen’s by the Bays, offering cottages with decks, screened porches and hammocks, along with a putting green, tennis courts and shuffleboard. Set in a former speakeasy, Union Cantina on Bowden Square has an award-winning farm-to-table menu. After dinner, sidle up to the restaurants’ speakeasy in the back, 400 Rabbits Tequila Bar, where over 100 brands of tequila are available. Or get a bold taste of Southern New American cuisine at Red Bar Brasserie, which also boasts French influences and uses local bounty. In the heart of town, on Elm Street, is an outpost of the
chic Jue Lan Club from Manhattan, with an adventurous Chinese menu of dim sum, raw dishes, and more. Then, stroll over to the The Fudge Company for a sweet. Everything old is new again. So, discover some clothing treasures at the charming consignment shop, Collette’s Basement on Main Street.
Bridgehampton
This former whaling and farming village still has farm stands and fresh produce markets, along with more recent upscale dining and boutiques. For a tasty blend of fine cuisine and rustic scenery, Almond, in the center of town, provides elegantly prepared duck, veal and chicken, and a rotating menu of plats du jour that vary from fish and chips to beef bourguignon.

Sag Harbor
Before continuing up the shoreline, take a side trip over to the Long Island Sound side of the island to Sag Harbor for a bit of small-town shopping. Check out AYR Beach House on Madison Street, the resort outpost of All Year Round’s flagship in SoHo, for top-quality women’s jeans, dresses and more.

East Hampton
As you head back down Route 114, East Hampton awaits. This upscale town features broad beaches, conspicuous opulence, plenty of fine dining and a good bit of retail therapy. Highway Restaurant and Bar is where to find adventurous New American cuisine (squid ink rigatoni, prosciutto and fennel sausage meatballs), with a quaint neighborhood feel. For a spot where the locals go, check out Cove Hollow Tavern, occupying the former location of the town’s beloved Café Max. With a sophisticated decor, the menu, featuring Atlantic snapper and mushroom Bolognese is hearty and satisfying. After disappearing for a time, Hamptons popular eatery Moby’s has returned at a new location on Three Mile Harbor Hog Creek Road, and lets you reserve up to 21 days in advance. With its nautical vibe and gorgeous water views, you will feel like you’re in paradise. For some fine home decor, stop in St. Frank for a world-class selection of fabric by the yard, sublime artwork and custom wallpapers. Summer reading doesn’t have to be substance-free.

Montauk
On your way out to Montauk, start the day in Amagansett at Jack’s Stir Brew Coffee for a menu of vegan baked goods and ethically sourced, organic, shade-grown coffee. Thus fortified, move on out to this friendly Long Island resort town. A classy choice in Montauk is Sole East Resort, which offers 60 bungalow-style rooms and seven garden suites, along with a heated pool and a poolside DJ. Then there’s Daunt’s Albatross Motel, a family-run business that’s been a source of local knowledge for 40 years. Stick around and book some time at its full-service yoga studio. Haven Montauk is a hotel that sits along the harbor, just a one-minute walk to the bay, and offers a barbecue pit where you can grill your freshly caught fish. For a fun, beachy feel to your trip, try The Surf Lodge with coastal-themed rooms, a scrumptious seafood menu and a high-energy concert series (Janelle Monáe performs Aug. 31).
You will want to investigate the local dining scene: At 668 the Gigshack, locals call it “the Shack,” and the extensive local wine list and live music make it one of the town’s essential eateries and nightspots. Harvest on Fort Pond combines family-style Italian cuisine inspired by fresh Montauk fish and homegrown produce, served alongside a striking sunset view of Fort Pond. You want seafood, the real thing? Inlet Seafood Restaurant is owned by six commercial fishermen. With a location at the west end of Montauk Point State Park, a menu features fresh fish and sushi and a full-service bar guarantee there’s never a bad view or a bad meal. There’s no lack of culture in Montauk. Boo-Hooray Summer Rental is a feast for the eyes, presenting exhibitions of contemporary ephemera, photography and book arts, as well as books, catalogs, artists’ books and LPs. For beachwear for the whole family that’s a bit out of the ordinary, stop by Melet Mercantile. This commercial beachside retail space also features Montauk-appropriate books, photography and art. Writer Anthony Bowles sums it up simply: “There is almost nothing better than a summer in the Hamptons.” IN NEW YORK | AUGUST 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.
