Rising Star
For his Broadway debut, 23-year-old Tom Glynn-Carney (below) has a meaty role in Jez Butterworth’s “The Ferryman” with which to impress New York audiences—a role that earned him the Evening Standard’s Emerging Talent Award when the play premiered in London. Glynn-Carney describes his character, Shane Corcoran, the angry, radicalized IRA wannabe during “the Troubles” between Catholic Irish Republicans and Protestant Unionists in 1981 Northern Ireland, as having his soul ripped apart by the chaos. “I want audiences to see his side of things,” he says. “Shane’s like a rocket. He could blast off at any moment. I’d like audiences to have a thought as to why that might be and not be too judgmental.” | Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre, 242 W. 45th St., 212.239.6200
Music Man
Actor/pianist Hershey Felder specializes in one-man shows about esteemed musicians, such as Beethoven and Bernstein. His latest, “Hershey Felder as Irving Berlin” (above), explores this nation’s greatest popular songwriter. Initially, Felder was hesitant to take on the composer of more than 1,500 songs. But when he learned that royalties from Berlin’s “God Bless America” are donated—in perpetuity—to the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, he knew this was the kind of man he wanted to represent onstage. | 59E59 Theaters, 59 E. 59th St., 212.279.4200

Picking Up the Baton—Again
Israeli actor Sasson Gabay, now making his Broadway debut at age 70 in “The Band’s Visit” (left, with Katrina Lenk), knows his character, Tewfiq, very well. He starred as Tewfiq, the leader of an Egyptian police band stranded in Israel, in the 2007 film on which the hit musical is based. Not that he was complacent when revisiting Tewfiq. “The challenge was to adjust to the stage and to the new cast,” he says. “The most exciting moment was the put-in rehearsal, with everyone watching me. ‘Who is this man? Let’s see if he can do it onstage.’ I was very grateful at the end of the first performance when the audience gave us a standing ovation. The cast also applauded me. It was very touching. Then I hugged my wife and said, ’We’re here, and it’s going well.’ To be on Broadway is really a thrill.” | Ethel Barrymore Theatre, 243 W. 47th St., 212.239.6200

WHAT’S TRENDING ON THE FOODIE SCENE by Lois Levine
Chicken at Le Coq Rico
Bellini
AS A JOURNALIST who covers a lot of highfalutin restaurants, I love finding a place with the simplest of concepts. Such was the case at chicken-centric Le Coq Rico (30 E. 20th St., 212.267.7426), which won over my jaded palate with its decorative sense of humor even before I tasted a thing. White feathers pasted to the ceiling, a collage of cracked white eggshells, and white eggs decorating the bartops suggested I was in some snazzy version of a chicken coop. A whole roast chicken for two was served in a wrought-iron pan, laced with onions and garlic and an au jus that “you must use!” our French waiter scolded, pouring it over our chicken before we could say cluck-cluck. Or, yum-yum. Del Frisco’s Double

Eagle Steak House (1221 Sixth Ave., 212.575.5129), on the other hand, is anything but simple: The towering restaurant has an ornate, wrought-iron winding staircase and gleaming wood-and-metal pillars, but they sure do know their steak. The recent additoin of a waygu beef program (the most flavorful, buttery beef I’ve ever tasted) just adds to the panache. Down at the South Street Seaport, a new resto: Bellini (33 Peck Slip, 877.528.4249), run by the fourth generation of the famed Cipriani restaurant family. The small, square-shaped dining room is bedecked with vases of flowers, white tablecloths and fine fare (we tried the crispy gnocchi and a velvety branzino), washed down with—what else?—superb Bellinis.

JUST A REGULAR GUY BOBBY CANNAVALE TURNS BOOKISH ON BROADWAY IN “THE LIFESPAN OF A FACT.”
By Rich Fisher
12
IN NEW YORK | AUGUST 2018 | INNEWYORK.COM
BETWEEN STAGE, screen and TV, Bobby Cannavale has played the tough guy, the gay guy, the cool guy and lots of other guys. His most natural role comes in real life, however, as just a regular guy. During our phone interview, the Union City, New Jersey, native, who has lived in New York since age 20, proceeded to rave about the Chattanooga, Tennessee, city he was visiting. During an excited, 45-second travelogue, he said, “Did you know the fastest internet in the country is in Chattanooga?” His genuine enthusiasm reflected a down-to-earth charm Cannavale has maintained while building a ladder of career successes he still climbs at age 48. During 22 years of professional acting, Cannavale has been nominated for three Emmys (he won for his roles on “Boardwalk Empire” and “Will & Grace”). He has appeared in nearly 60 films with some of the industry’s top stars and directors, but his first love remains the stage, where he was nominated for Tony Awards in “Mauritius” in 2007 and “The Motherf**r With the Hat” in 2011. Now he returns to Broadway for the first time since 2012 (when he starred with Al Pacino in “Glengarry Glen Ross”) in “The Lifespan of a Fact” with Daniel Radcliffe and Cherry Jones. The play is based on the 2012 book co-written by University of Iowa professor and famed author John D’Agata (Cannavale) and his fact-checker, Jim Fingal (Radcliffe). D’Agata’s essay on Levi Presley, a teenager who jumped to his death from the roof of a Las Vegas casino, was squashed by Harper’s magazine, which deemed it too error-laden to publish in 2003. It was resold to the literary magazine The Believer, where Fingal was assigned as the fact-checker only to discover a plethora of untrue facts that sparked a seven-year debate on what passes for truth in literary nonfiction. Cannavale, who lives in Brooklyn with his fiancée, Australian actress Rose Byrne, and their sons, Rocco Robin and Rafa, discussed the play, his love of stage and his favorite city hangouts. In general, would you say theater audiences are different depending where you play?

I was doing plays in New York City when there were three people in the audience. I was learning how to act onstage during those years, but the feeling of being out there wihout a net, no matter what size the theater is, or where it is, is always present. What attracted you to this particular project?
When it gets to about a year since the last play I’ve done (“The Hairy Ape” at Park Avenue Armory in 2017), I start to get really itchy. I really feel like I have to do something onstage. I read this play, and it took me somewhere that sort of fell in line with how I’m feeling. It’s a puzzling play, it’s an incendiary play. Truth versus reality versus art in art and in life. It’s just a bonus to have all the people involved like Daniel and Cherry. Beyond that, there’s the challenge to play this guy. John D’Agata is tricky: A lot’s been written about him. He’s obviously very successful. I have to find things to relate to about this guy. He’s a champion of the essay as an art form, which is not really appreciated in this sort of media sense, the way other
forms of entertainment are. It’s a challenge for the written word to compete with anything right now. It reminds me of the actor that only works in the theater because of their love for it. I guess I’m approaching it from that end. I don’t see the guy as a non-truth teller so much as an artist; and we’ll go from there. You’ve succeeded in the big three entertainment mediums. What makes live theater still such a great passion?
It’s not like going to a movie, where it’s the same movie every time. There’s something very kinetic that happens when there’s a live audience: It’s a feeling that I just don’t get in other mediums. I also enjoy the rehearsal process very much. There’s nothing like going in and making something with a bunch of people who are there because they love it. You’re a hometown guy: What’s your go-to restaurant?
I love Lilia in Williamsburg, that’s my favorite restaurant. It’s so good. The chef, Missy, she’s a great chef, she makes incredible pasta. They use fresh, fresh local ingredients. They make things that I never thought I’d try before. I had blowfish tails a couple weeks ago. I never dreamed I’d eat something like that. Missy said, “Trust me, you’re gonna love them, they’re like wings but better for you.” She was right. Are there certain neighborhoods where you hang out?
I love the West Village: That might be my favorite neighborhood to hang out in. Also the East Village: Downtown, generally speaking. But the weekends get a little crowded, so it’s a good time to stay in Brooklyn, though now it’s also getting a little crazy. I will tell you this: The best coffee in the city anywhere is a place called Abraço, on E. 7th Street between First and Second avenues. You will not find better coffee. Awesome, thanks for that. How about shopping?
Generally speaking I like little, weird places. There’s a store on Smith Street in Brooklyn called Modern Anthology. It’s a cool store. I just literally went in there for the first time, and it has a million little things that I would like. It doesn’t have just one thing. It’s guys clothes and stuff, but also cool little cards, belt buckles. I bought a couple cool key chains. Great place for little, weird gifts. I kind of like going into stores like that. I particularly like little stores you can’t find anywhere else. You usually find those places in little pockets in Brooklyn, the Lower East Side, in the far West Village. You just gotta look. That’s the great thing about being in New York. I just walk, man. I’ll think, “I haven’t walked down this street in a year,” and I walk down it and then I find some new store. If you can swing a sitter for date night, where might we find you and Rose on a weekend?
We might say, “He, let’s take an uber and go to La Esquina,” because they have great margaritas and great food and always great music. Then maybe going to a movie or going to BAM [Brooklyn Academy of Music]. But that would be on a Thursday night [laughs]. The secret of New Yorkers is, we don’t go out on weekends!

Senior Program Manager, Strategic Operations, Mozilla Foundation Sunset Park, Brooklyn I’ve lived in Sunset Park for 14 years, but over the past year or two, Industry City has become a destination spot. The huge complex of office, residential and retail space has great weekend events in the summer and fall, from Brooklyn Flea to family concerts and art installations. My family and I recently visited the M.C. Escher exhibit: I highly recommend it! At The Frying Pan, you can get paddles to play ping-pong in a giant space that overlooks the New York harbor. At the Food Hall, there’s an avocado restaurant (Avocaderia); my favorite Korean spot, Ejen; and Blue Marble Ice Cream. My go-to restaurant, in any season, is Runner & Stone in Gowanus, Brooklyn, and it’s not just because my husband is the sous chef! It’s a bakery, restaurant and bar, and a great neighborhood spot with a chill vibe any time of day. The buckwheat baguette is quite possibly my favorite bread ever. Try it with the curried hummus. The braided ricotta ravioli with tomato jam is perfection. For the best Jewish deli experience it’s Katz’s Delicatessen—iconic and delish! Corned-beef Reuben, knish, pickles, chopped liver: Just don’t lose your ticket!
I also love Koreatown in Manhattan. Bibimbap or Korean barbecue at The Kunjip or Hangawi are my faves. Plus, I love the Tony Moly beauty store and any Korean dessert spot. Farmers markets are all over, so even if I can’t escape the city, the farm comes to me. Everything from produce to cheese and pastries. I’ll usually buy some kind of savory flatbread at a market as a snack to eat while doing the rest of my shopping. When I need to do other kinds of shopping, Artists & Fleas in SoHo (they have additional locations, too) is a marketplace that features products made by local artists. They have a terrific jewelry selection, but there’s also a pop-up Strand bookstore with staff picks and a bargain bin. Flying Tiger Copenhagen is every tween’s favorite shop. My daughters and I like the one at Dekalb Market. It’s like the simplicity of Ikea with a fresh take on products that seem to all be $10 or less. And they have super-cute and cheap ($2) tote bags for your haul. On a sunny, crisp fall day, I love to take the NYC ferry from the Brooklyn Army Terminal in Sunset Park to DUMBO, Brooklyn, for coffee, shopping and a ride on Jane’s Carousel. Our all-time favorite autumn event, though, is next month’s marathon. The runners pass right by our house: Every year my kids and I dole out high-fives and cheers to the marathoners. Everyone comes out, live bands play on the sidewalks, and if it’s chilly, we grab some hot chocolate from the local bodega. IN NEW YORK | OCTOBER 2018 | INNEWYORK.COM

BELLA ALHANATI Retired Corporate Realtor Lower East Side A typical Saturday night out for me in the fall is a standard—a movie and dinner. I call a car service to take us to the movie theater, no matter how much it costs (hard to spot an Uber where I live, right near the FDR Drive). Sometimes it’s just $10 to the Loews on Second Avenue and 32nd Street, or as much as $25 to the Landmark at 57 West. After the movie, we always eat. We might drop into the Waterfront Ale House on Second Avenue. They have all kinds of wild game on the menu, but you can never go wrong with their half-pound burger and fries. If we are on the Upper West Side, we sometimes walk down to Route 66 Cafe on Ninth Avenue. It’s a notch above a diner, with a smaller menu. Another favorite option is Cafe Petisco on East Broadway. Consistent, well-priced and yummy, a combination of American/Middle Eastern/Israeli/Italian/Mexican. Low-key. Beer and wine. Always busy. Cash only. I also love RedFarm in the West Village. We get food there on many a fall Sunday. It’s Chinese food on a higher level. Happy Buddha delight is my favorite: cellophane noodles, veggies, bean curd skins and round pillows of silken tofu that I mistook for scallops. So many yummy dumplings and a whacky egg roll stuffed with Katz’s Deli’s pastrami. When I need to shop, I like going to Exit9 Gift Emporium in the East Village: lots of fun, quirky, kitschy stuff. Galleria J. Antonio on Avenue A also has gift items made by artisans. The park grounds along the East River near Grand Street are covered in leaves. My dog and I plop ourselves down and roll around in the leaves, staring up at the sky: If you block out the city sounds, you’d think you were Upstate.
LOUISE SHARAKAN Artist Upper West Side Just walking in our Upper West Side neighborhood is an adventure. I visit Breads Bakery on Broadway and start chatting with the 102-year-old woman in the cute hat with paper flowers pinned on it, who tells us about her last boyfriend (when she was 90). One day I found myself sitting next to Edie Falco at Joe Coffee. Another time, we wandered into Le Pain Quotidien and were approached by a man wearing a pair of 1930s silk pajamas who asked to take our pictures and interview us for his next book, “Advanced Love.” It was the style blogger Ari Seth Cohen. I guess the purple hair on an 83-year-old woman was seen as “interesting.” Living on the Upper West Side has been exciting, especially with the advent of the new Far West neighborhood. We’ve experienced new buildings, markets, a new movie theater and a great new restaurant, Ousia. The ambience is lovely, the brunches fabulous and the prices friendly. When guests come to town, one of the first things they all seem to want to do is walk the High Line: We have now

walked its entire length in every season, and it never fails to delight. We also take them along the Battery to the Financial Center and the Oculus, the architectural marvel that houses dozens of shops and restaurants. Museums, of course, like the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney and the Met, are always exciting; but a little off the beaten path, we enjoy The Cloisters, with its antiquities and gardens. Then there are treasurehouse museums like The Morgan Library and The Frick. Lincoln Center is a close neighbor, offering treats like the tiny Claire Tow Theater, where every seat is good and just $30 a ticket; and free concerts in October, both at Juilliard and at the New York Philharmonic Open Rehearsals, at 9:45 am. Not much could be better than the trees changing colors in Central Park. Of course, there is always the other choice of walking along the Hudson River and seeing the colors along the Palisades and the far-off Ramapo Mountains.

soccer/football fields and tennis courts. It’s perfect for spending a fall day when I want to be close to home. Otherwise, on a post-summer weekend, I hop aboard the NYC Ferry and take it to Manhattan. Sheep Meadow in Central Park is the perfect place to let a day float away beside a group of your closest friends. On the West Side along the Hudson River and in the 550 acres of Hudson River Park that run along 12th Avenue from TriBeCa to Midtown, there are tons of grassy waterside docks with loungers, many with their dogs. I have snoozed away many a Sunday afternoon away on those docks. Brewery-hopping in autumn is one of my favorite activities. Between Astoria, Long Island City and Greenpoint, all within a few miles’ walking distance of one another, you could visit more than 10 breweries in a given day. Most of them have cozy outdoor spaces, (some with waterfront patios,) and a good number of them offer full-service kitchens. The concert scene in New York City peaks in September/ October. I’ve noticed, over my years a huge concertgoer in this city, that the most affordable, small-scale shows featuring major artists in the city happen right after the summer. Nine Inch Nails, for example, are playing at Radio City Musical Hall and Kings Theatre in Downtown Brooklyn this month. Football tickets, relatively speaking, are still affordable through October. Before the Giants have begun their late-season surge, and before the Jets have already been mathematically eliminated (I’m speaking from historical patterns, of course), it’s easy for me to visit The Meadowlands for a New York home game. Getting to the stadium is also much more
pleasant in September and October. Subways and trains to The Meadowlands during these months are crowded but not overbearing, as compared to summer. Games, unless you’re from the North Pole and enjoy frostbite, are far more enjoyable at MetLife Stadium during these months because the winter wind tunnel has not yet been summoned. November and December winds during late-season night games can be brutal. Among my favorite restaurants, Katsuno is a tiny, awningless cove in Forest Hills, Queens. The owner is a former Michelin-starred Japanese chef who left Manhattan about 20 years ago, moved to Forest Hills, bought a house and opened his hard-to-find shack, which specializes in Japanese specialty plates. Try the snow crab and avocado salad, the chicken karaage (fried chicken), the chicken thigh, and the udon noodles with poached egg. Stay for dessert and enjoy jazz melodies curated by the husband/chef and wife/manager duo. My favorite gift to give is an only-in-New-York experience, a Peter Luger Steak House gift certificate. I’ve never met a visitor who told me that one visit to the city was enough for them. The certificates don’t expire, and I doubt the 131-yearold restaurant is closing anytime soon, so it’s a safe choice. I’ve also gifted my friends from out of town (who I knew were coming to visit New York at some point), a gift card to Madison Square Garden. The general gift card allows you to purchase tickets to any event happening at MSG or at the Hulu Theater at MSG, a great present for someone with an interest in live spectating. MSG hosts professional hockey, basketball, tennis, boxing and wrestling, and major concerts. For a gift to myself, Faherty is a New York brand with which I’ve recently fallen in love. They make swim and outerwear apparel, as well as top-quality winterwear like heavy knit sweaters for men, women and children, with all of it designed by twin brothers who were born and raised on the Jersey shore and in Manhattan. Walking along the High Line is a must. That’s about as touristy as my inclinations get, but for some reason, the novelty of a High Line stroll has never worn off on me. It’s a really cool place to hang out, lie down, snooze, walk, drink, eat and talk for an afternoon. One of my favorite things is to walk along the High Line going north. I get off the elevated park in the low West 30s, and head one block west to the New York Water Taxi, which zips you to Hoboken, New Jersey, in less than 10 minutes. The waterfront eateries in Hoboken are fun and offer breathtaking views of the NYC skyline, and, weather permitting, there are often all kinds of games and activities going on in the area, too. When I want to just wander without an agenda, I like Greenwich Village, though it’s wildly expensive to simply roam aimlessly there (bars, restaurant and shops can be pricey). And, if it’s a weekend, you’ll likely run into young college grads, whose obnoxiously loud yelling during brunch or watching football at a bar might inhibit your ability to completely enjoy yourself. That being said, it’s an incredibly beautiful place to take a stroll and feel transported to the small side streets of Europe for a while. IN NEW YORK | OCTOBER 2018 | INNEWYORK.COM

Gotham’s prestigious universities are not just ivory towers of learning, but venues for spectacular events.

HIGHER LEARNING
EVERYONE KNOWS New Yorkers are street smart. But the city is no slouch when it comes to academia as well. Few other locales offer so many exalted institutions of higher learning than the streets of New York. New York’s educational icons also provide some of the greatest historical, cultural and artistic gold mines the city has to offer to both visitors and natives alike. Here is a look at the must-sees at four of New York’s most celebrated universities. And the best part? No tuition required.
Columbia University
Follow in the footsteps of this Ivy League’s famous alums such as Alexander Hamilton, Barack Obama and Kate McKinnon, and head to its handsome entrance on the Upper West Side, where anyone, not just Ivy Leaguers, can walk through the storied iron gates of Columbia (W. 116th St. & Broadway, 212.854.1754). Founded in 1754 as King’s College by royal charter of King George II, Columbia is the oldest institution of higher learning in the state of New York and the fifth oldest in the nation. Historic Columbia campuses have resided near Trinity church, City Hall and Madison Avenue until the university settled in its current campus in the Morningside Heights neighborhood in 1897. Once you pass through the gates, head straight to the Low Memorial Library, a landmark domed building constructed in 1895 that is neither low nor a library, as any student will tell you (it houses administrative offices), but historic nonetheless. Guided tours, (for visitors, not prospective students) start from here. The Miriam and Ira D. Wallach Art Gallery is an open-

New York University
If you plan on spending any time in Greenwich Village, you’ll be de facto visiting New York University (70 Washington Sq. So., 212.998.1212). The bohemian neighborhood is also the playground of the NYU campus and its quad. In particular, you’ll find plenty of youthful NYU energy in Washington Square Park. Founded in 1831 by a group of leading New Yorkers of the day, the University of the City of New York, as it was known then, was meant to be a home for students of scientific or literary pursuits, as well as “a direct response to the needs of the rising mercantile classes in New York.” The university went back to its roots in August when the School of Medicine made headlines when it announced it would cover the tuition of all of its students, regardless of merit or need. NYU is also famous for its nine “international houses,” such as Africa House and Casa Italiana Zerilli-Marimo, many of which host regular events and concerts open to the public. The Lillian Vernon Creative Writers House hosts free readings and workshops open to the public in an illustrious brownstone remodeled by Stanford White. The Grey Art Gallery houses NYU’s impressive collection of Modern Asian and Middle Eastern Art; postwar American art, including works by Willem de Kooning; and late-19th-and early-20th-century works by Eouard Manet and Pablo Picasso. Elsewhere, don’t miss NYU’s Skirball Center for the Performing Arts. Performances are open to the public and many are free, including the Oct. 26 and 27 New York City premiere of “Non-Western,” by the performance troop My Barbarian, as part of the Karl Marx: On Your Marx Festival.
Yeshiva University
It’s hard to actually visit the main campus of Yeshiva, which combines academia with study of the Torah and
22
IN NEW YORK | OCTOBER 2018 | INNEWYORK.COM
Jewish heritage. The four campuses are spread throughout the city, but the main campus is often referred to as Washington Heights (500 W. 185th St., 212.960.5400), where the men’s undergraduate and several graduate programs reside. YU is well known for its graduate programs in law, business and Jewish education, and illustrious alums such as author Chaim Potok. The public face of Yeshiva University is the Yeshiva University Museum, part of the Center for Jewish History. The permanent collection focuses on Jewish culture throughout history, including an outdoor sculpture garden. There are also continuous exhibits, including “Lost and Found, a Family Photo Album,” which focuses on a family photo album that was assembled in the years leading up to World War II by Anna Warshawska, who was deported in 1943 from the Kovno Ghetto.
The Cooper Union
The Cooper Union (30 Cooper Sq., 212.353.4100), located on the edge of the East Village, was founded in 1859 by Peter Cooper, an industrialist, inventor and philanthropist. The school’s roots were devoted to art, architecture and engineering, just as they are today, with an added dose of technology and computer science. The Cooper Union may be best known for its long tradition of 100 percent subsidized tuition, a rarity in U.S. higher education. In recent years, it found itself strapped financially and began charging tuition. Happily, this year, The Cooper Union announced it will go back to completely subsidized tuition soon. The soul of The Cooper Union is the Foundation Building. Inside is the Great Hall, which seats 900 and has hosted no end of illustrious speakers, including Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass and famous grads such as Thomas Edison, Milton Glaser, Lee Krasner and at least 10 American presidents. School officials claim the Great Hall is the “birthplace of the NAACP and a cradle of the women’s suffrage and American labor movements.” On Oct. 2, “WE DISSENT… Design of the Women’s Movement in New York” opens in the Cooper Gallery. The exhibit looks at more than 150 years of feminist artifacts. Starting on Oct. 23 in the Foundation Building, “Archive and Artifact: The Virtual and the Physical” celebrates 50 years’ worth of experimental and influential undergraduate architecture theses from the Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture’s archives.

to-the-public art laboratory and showcase curated by Columbia’s art history and archaeology departments. Columbia’s Miller Theater is dedicated to showcasing original musical works. Celebrating its 30th anniversary this season, events this month include concerts on the 13th and 20th, and the kickoff of Miller’s iconic composer portrait series on the 27th with Kate Soper.
Fordham University
Established by future archbishop John Hughes in 1841, this tiny, underfinanced school, then named St. John’s College, was the first Catholic institution of higher learning in the Northeast. Hughes, himself an immigrant, was determined to offer a place where other immigrants could be educated. Later sold to the Jesuits, Fordham (the name was changed in 1907) grew to be a thriving university with two New York City campuses and a reputation for fine higher learning and public service. The Rose Hill Campus in the Bronx (441 E. Fordham Rd., 718.817.1000), and site of the original location, is an 85-acre Gothic campus as idyllic as any rural university. (It’s also across the street from the New York Botanical Garden.) One of the biggest draws for visitors is the Fordham Museum of Greek, Etruscan and Roman Art in the William D. Walsh Family Library. It features more than 260 objects dating from the 4th millennium B.C. through the 3rd century A.D. Downtown, Fordham’s compact Lincoln Center Campus, purchased as part of Robert Moses’ Lincoln Square Renewal Project, houses the graduate schools of business, social service, education and law, as well as an undergrad liberal arts program. The campus plaza with its quad-like lawn offers a nice respite from the city in the heart of Gotham’s cultural center.

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.
