Once upon a time, a beautiful princess fell into a deep sleep.

A hundred years later, a handsome prince woke her up with a kiss.

And they lived happily ever after. But the Brothers Grimm, whose fairy tale this is, never revealed Aurora’s dreams; “Sleeping Beauty Dreams”—a theatrical experience at the Beacon Theatre—does, using live dance, art and technology. | sbdart.com, also Dec. 15

Gloria in Excelsis

Playing legendary feminist Gloria Steinem in the new Off-Broadway play, “Gloria: A Life,” is, for actress Christine Lahti, an invigorating experience. “I connect with Gloria on so many levels: our Midwestern roots, our shared sense that we are living the unloved lives of our mothers,” says Lahti, who first heard about feminism and Steinem in 1971 when she was in college. “I understand and am inspired by her activism, her heart and her incredible generosity towards all people. I just wrote a book [“True Stories From an Unreliable Eyewitness,” 2018] that exposed [my] warts and all, and it was very vulnerable making. I knew Gloria wanted the same kind of honesty about herself in the play. So, we are taking a very deep, sometimes painful dive into her life. And she welcomes all of it. I feel so much closer to her after this process.” | Daryl Roth Theatre, 101 E. 15th St., 212.375.1110

It Takes Two

David Rossmer and Steve Rosen (left, left to right) are best buds. They met at an audition for an improv troupe at summer camp when they were 7, and the precocious, stagestruck duo have been friends and creative collaborators ever since, culminating in their musical comedy, “The Other Josh Cohen.” Rossmer and Rosen not only wrote the Off-Broadway show (music, lyrics and book), they also star in it. And who is the titular character? A plaid-clad schlemiel down on his luck and love on Valentine’s Day. But not to worry: For every cloud, there’s a silver lining. “My worst day is the 14th of February,” the hero sings.

WHAT’S TRENDING ON THE FOODIE SCENE

4 I WAS IMPRESSED by the tony, high-energy crowd at Bluebird London NYC (10 Columbus Cir., 347.682.2100). The welldressed, elderly gentleman at the table in front of me just had to be a media mogul, and I felt certain that the two women dining to my right were runway models. But the restaurant itself also won me over, with dishes such as the purest crabcake starter ever, and a chicken potpie with nary a spot of cream, just tender chicken and vegetables in a delicate, wellseasoned broth. There is yet another new restaurant worth visiting in NoMad, where new eateries seem to open almost daily. Henry at Life Hotel (19 W. 31st St., 212.615.9910) offers creative Pan-African cuisine, courtesy of chef extraordinaire

JJ Johnson, with dishes like AfroPot for two (king crab, prawns, mussels) and melt-in-the-mouth bone-in beef short ribs with roti and black beans. I will be honest: I wasn’t expecting more than tasty tapas at cheerful, unassuming Nai Tapas (82 Second Ave., 212.677.1030). I did not expect to be wowed as I was by unusual pairings and explosive flavors, often with tableside presentations, such as salmon, fire-seared in front of me and pinched with saffron. Another wonder: ramen gallego with crispy fish skin and bacon. Randall’s Barbecue (359 Grand St., 646.692.9980), is a fine sweet-and-smoky barbecue/sandwich joint: brisket, pork spareribs and filling pastrami and turkey sandwiches, served on a Kossar’s bialy.

This Queens hot spot, named after the Dutch privateer who discovered Astoria, opened in early 2018 as NYC’s first restaurant and bar to serve a menu of food and drink infused with CBD (cannabidiol), a constituent of hemp that employs the soothing effects of THC, found in cannabis. CBD-infused items won’t give the head-high that marijuana does, but it will provide a calming component. CBD-infused cocktails include the Stoney Negroni (below), made with Cocchi Americano, Tio Pepe dry sherry, Floc de Gascogne, Angostura bitters and THC-free CBD tincture. 19-33 Ditmars Blvd., Astoria, Queens, 718.606.1391

with local charities. “I still have friends who live there and people my mom hangs out with,” she has said. “No matter how much I travel and where I go, I always feel connected to the working class I grew up in. It so affected me to see my dad working nights for 20 years, and I think that’s why I work so many jobs. I always feel like a working girl.”

Moreover, she credits just being from her hometown in large part for her success. “I didn’t get kissed into this business. I’m just a girl from the Bronx,” says Lopez. “I had to find my way, so I’ve always felt like I had to prove myself.”

That attitude explains, in part, why she’s so choosy about her acting roles. Now, four years after she last graced the big screen, Lopez finally returns this month in “Second Act,” a film she also produced. In it, she plays Maya, a 40-year-old woman struggling with unfulfilled dreams who, under unusual circumstances, finally gets the chance to prove her worth to the world of NYC high finance. The film was shot in Queens, the Bronx and Manhattan (including Michael Jordan’s the Steak House in Grand Central Terminal).

“Maya’s an underdog. And I think most people feel that way at times. You’re always trying to get ahead, asking yourself: What if I had gone to this school or got that job, what if I hadn’t made that choice?” she notes. “What we don’t realize is that everything we go through leads us to exactly where we’re supposed to be. That’s what I love most about my character: It’s her discov-

THE INDEFATIGABLE BRONX-BORN JENNIFER LOPEZ COMES HOME FOR A NEW MOVIE. BY BRIAN SCOTT LIPTON

SOMETIMES, parents really do know best. Just ask Bronxborn-and-raised superstar Jennifer Lopez. Now a stunning mega-success, the multitalented, 49-year-old entertainer decided to drop out of NYC’s Baruch College at 18 to pursue her passion for the performing arts. While her Puerto Rican-born parents, David Lopez and Guadalupe Rodriguez, were initially less than thrilled with her choice, her mother’s words have guided Lopez’s spectacular career. “My mom always told me that if you work hard, you can achieve anything,” says Lopez. “And it’s turned out to be one of the truest things ever.”

And if Jennifer Lopez is anything, it is hardworking. After earning early success as a dancer, working with such artists as Janet Jackson and New Kids on the Block, along with being featured as a “Fly Girl” on FOX’s “In Living Color,” Lopez is now known for a string of movies (including the 1997 biopic “Selena” and 2005’s “Monster-in-Law” alongside Jane Fonda); a recording career so illustrious, she was given MTV’s Video Vanguard Award earlier this year; a recently completed threeyear residency in Las Vegas; and the distinction of having two hit TV shows on the air at the same time (NBC’s “Shades of Blue” and “World of Dance”)—along with being named one of Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People this year.

With all that success, Lopez—who seems to treasure her “Jenny from the Block” moniker—has nonetheless never forgotten her roots. She has frequently returned to the Bronx, to visit her childhood home in Castle Hill or to spend time working

ering that, after thinking her mistakes had led her to a place she wasn’t happy with, she’s exactly where she was supposed to be!”

That final statement resonates in her personal life as well. After three marriages, to chef Ojani Noa, dancer Cris Judd and singer Marc Anthony (father of her 10-year-old twins, Max and Emme), as well as romances with media mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs and actor-director Ben Affleck, Lopez seems to have found true happiness with ex-New York Yankees superstar Alex “A-Rod” Rodriguez.

The pair recently bought a $15 million apartment on Park Avenue (Lopez owns several residences, including a sprawling home in Los Angeles), and can often be spotted dining around town at such top-notch eateries as Marea, Quality Meats, Carbone and Cipriani Downtown. Lopez has also been seen shopping in SoHo or on Madison Avenue, sometimes with the pair’s kids joining the adventure. (Rodriguez shares custody of his daughters Ella, 10, and Natasha, 13, with his ex-wife, Cynthia.)

Lopez is also one of the country’s great fashion icons, dazzling the red carpet in daring designer fashions and looking fit wherever she goes. “Part of my business is about being in shape and looking good. You can’t lie to yourself about it,” she notes.

Still, Lopez is also the first to acknowledge that the inside is just as important as the outside. “Age is all in your mind. But what’s just as important is to remember that there’s no substitute for feeling great inside. My life is full of loving, joyful people; and my work is filled with adventure. That’s what really counts.”

NYC business owners spend the holidays?

How do these top

SPENDING TIME WITH FAMILY is a calling card of the holidays. But what happens when you already spend the majority of the year running a company with parents, siblings or sons and daughters? And when it’s a family-run business, is there even time to take off and relax outside the workplace?

For these Big Apple entrepreneurs, they can’t seem to get enough of one another.

What began as a childhood dream for twins Alex and Mike Faherty has grown into a thriving family-run business (simply called Faherty, a surfer line of clothes), with stores in the West Village, SoHo and Sag Harbor, Long Island, in addition to locations in Massachusetts and California.

Alex and Mike co-founded the company; Alex’s wife, Kerry, is the president, while their mother, Ninie, an interior designer, serves as head of retail design.

The close-knit unit spends time together during business hours and downtime. Alex and Kerry live in Brooklyn with their two children; Mike and his fiancée, Hillary, live in the West Village, while Ninie travels to the city from Manasquan, New Jersey. They work at their TriBeCa headquarters; visit the Manhattan stores a few times a week; and head to California each quarter to visit the Malibu and Newport Beach locations.

The Christmas holidays are a time to recover and relax. To do that, they shut down headquarters from Dec. 25 through Jan. 1. “We’re the youngest of seven kids and we now have 15 nieces and nephews, so holidays are crazy! But we love it,” says Alex. “The great thing about having your own company is that you make your own schedule. We love to surf, and any time there’s waves in New Jersey or New York, we’ll do what we can to get to the beach, even if it’s for a few hours in the morning.”

Christmas Day begins with a traditional trip to the beach in Manasquan, New Jersey, a few blocks from Ninie Faherty’s home. On this day, however, it’s not about surfing: It’s the family polar-bear plunge.

“Depending on travel schedules for my brothers and sisters, the plunge crew can get pretty big—around 15 people running into the ocean,” Mike says. “Once you get out, it’s a race to get warm again back at the house. We have been doing this for the last 10 years. Lately, we have been lucky with some warmer winter weather, which helps speed up the defrosting.”

Not every family-owned business takes that kind of Christmas break, however. During the holiday season, don’t be surprised to see Alec Wade Ginsberg in the store helping customers at C.O. Bigelow Apothecaries. Self-described as the Bigelow “Utility Man,” the 27-year-old licensed pharmacist—and fourth generation of Ginsbergs at the company—plays a number of roles, along with his father, Ian, who as owner and president, runs day-to-day operations.

“The winter holiday season is our biggest time of year in the store, and I try to be here every day, from just after Thanksgiving through Christmas, to help out anywhere it’s needed,” says Alec. “Since I’m a Jew, Christmas is just another day to my family, so I always volunteer to work as the pharmacist on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and let the rest of the crew spend the time with their families.”

Clockwise from bottom left:

The store, which is open daily year-round, came into the family when Alec Ginsberg’s great-grandfather, Willie, bought it during the Great Depression. The store was passed down to his sons, with Ian taking it over in the mid-1990s. In addition to the pharmacy, the store also sells medical and surgical supplies, cosmetics and a line of their own products, including lip balms and body lotions.

Putting their own personal touch on the holidays, the Ginsbergs engage in a family tradition at the store where customers are the winners.

“Since I was around 7 years old, my father and I have always spent time wrapping the holiday gifts for Bigelow shoppers at the wrapping counter,” Alec says. “You’ll find the two of us there competing over who does a better job—spoiler alert: I do!—every day during the month of December.”

Of course, there is also time for the large, extended family to spend time together.

“Luckily [we] all live in New York City or on Long Island, so we are together for every holiday, usually eating way too much food,” Alec says.

To compensate for working every day from the end of November until Christmas, Alec and his father take time off the day after Christmas until New Year’s recuperating and reenergizing. Somewhere tropical is a standard (St. Maarten is a favorite), though they’ve spent the last two years in Miami.

“We lie on a beach somewhere,” Alec says. “We’ve been doing that for as long as I can remember. We are big on relaxation, and we both can be out cold for hours the second we hit a beach chair. We also are both lifetime musicians, and a family jam session is part of any downtime. It’s usually me on guitar and my father on the drums.”

For the Moscot eyewear family, what began as a pushcart business in 1899, after Hyman Moscot arrived at Ellis Island, has grown into a fifth-generation family-run empire.

Moscot Eyewear has stores on the Lower East Side, in Chelsea Market, Union Square and Cobble Hill, Brooklyn. Styles include those from the family archive in addition to current designs, all handmade in New York. In addition, the family’s presence has found its way overseas with locations in Tokyo, Seoul, London and Rome.

Today, Dr. Harvey Moscot, Doctor of Optometry and current CEO, and son Zack, Chief Design Officer, have created a global fashion brand with clients that include actors Paul Rudd and Chris Hemsworth, athlete LeBron James and latenight talk host Conan O’Brien.

What does this tight-knit entrepreneurial family do come holiday season? That’s when business really revs up, they explain. “Christmas week is one of our busiest weeks, and the one opportunity all year that I return to where I started … the sales floor to support the team,” says Harvey.

Zack also likes to take some time during the holidays to visit his grandfather, Joel, retired from the business. “He lives out on Long Island, where we sip Stoli Ohranj vodka (his favorite) to discuss the good ole’ days in the shop,” says Zack.

“New Year’s Day, we take off and spend time with our wives, cousins, grandparents. Family, family, family!”
