Dressed to Kill

For Adults Only

Let it never be said of Cher that she doesn’t know how to put on a show. And “The Cher Show,” the new Broadway biomusical about and produced by the “goddess warrior,” is no exception. It’s a blast: dramatically, musically and visually. Especially visually. Bob Mackie, Cher’s fashion guru throughout her career on TV and the concert stage, is the show’s costume designer. And when Mackie and the diva collaborate, more is definitely more. The onstage fashion parade takes audiences from the 1960s to today and includes 683 costumes, meaning there’s a costume change every 35 seconds. But this stat will really blow your mind, as it did mine: Mackie has embellished the cast’s outfits with 6,499,000 feathers—surely a Broadway record and so worthy of Cher. | Neil Simon Theatre, 250 W. 52nd St., 877.250.2929

A HAWKE-EYED STAR ACTOR-WRITER-DIRECTOR ETHAN HAWKE PLAYS A BROTHER THAT SPELLS TROUBLE IN “TRUE WEST.”

By Brian Scott Lipton

“DO I READ REVIEWS?” Ethan Hawke asks with a laugh. “Of course! I always read the good ones. My confidence is fragile, and I need some sense of self-preservation. But I read others, too. As an artist, you are doing this to connect, so I need to know what everyone is saying about you.” For most of the past four decades, Hawke has earned more than his share of “good ones.” “I cut my teeth on acting,” notes Hawke, who first trod the boards at Princeton, New Jersey’s McCarter Theatre at age 12 and has since triumphed in such films as “Dead Poets Society,” “Training Day,” “Boyhood,” and “First Reformed,” as well as onstage in Tom Stoppard’s trilogy “The Coast of Utopia,” Shakespeare’s “Henry IV” and “Macbeth,” and Chekov’s “Ivanov.” He recently won the New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Actor in the drama “First Reformed,” while “Juliet, Naked,” the 2018 indie romcom in which Hawke plays an aging rocker, was a runaway hit at 2018’s Sundance Film Festival. But acting is only one part of the Texasborn Hawke’s identity. He’s also a screenwriter, director, author, husband and father (to four kids, two by ex-wife Uma Thurman and two by current spouse, Ryan Hawke). And once again, the actor, who currently lives in Brooklyn, is back on Broadway—this time as the quarrelsome, aimless brother Lee in the latest revival of Sam Shepard’s iconic 1980 play “True West,” which officially opens Jan. 24. I recently spoke to the 48-year-old Hawke about the play, inching up on 50 and his favorite spots in New York. What made you take on “True West”?

The truth of the matter is, like a lot of ac-

tors, I saw the original production with Gary Sinise and John Malkovich and it really lit a fuse. I never felt the same afterward. Not only was I moved by it, but it helped me decide what to do with my life. What I’ve always admired about Sam [Shepard] is how he tried to define the male experience and always did so in exciting ways that have never been touched on since. So, on some level, I have always wanted to do this play, but I never really felt I was ready until now.

“I saw the original production of “True West,” and not only was I moved by it, it helped me decide what to do with my life.”

So, how did it happen?

A week or so before Sam died (in July 2017), our director, James Macdonald, approached me about doing this production. Sam and I had worked together a few times—in different capacities—and he had a profound impact on my life. Aparently, Sam felt the last Broadway production, in which John C. Reilly and Philip Seymour Hoffman alternated in the roles of the two brothers, had led to a mirroring effect. Now, Sam wanted a new production where the brothers are very different, especially in their ages. It’s one of the reasons I am so excited to be working with Paul Dano as Austin. I directed him in a play once, and I know he’s the real deal as an actor. I think we are really able to display a true older brother/ younger brother relationship. While I didn’t grow up with siblings, I know that sibling rivalry is just intrinsic to human nature. No matter our age, we are still all fighting to be noticed. Does being an actor fulfill you differently than being a writer or director?

As I get older, I continually study myself and try to think about what makes me tick. A few years ago, I would have said acting is the great passion of my life, because it’s my way of staying alive and maintaining my childlike playfulness and curiosity. It’s like being a perpetual student and watching how a lot of great artists’ work has been enlightening and exciting. But as time goes on, I realized I can step away from being in front of the camera or on the stage and start to explore storytelling from other vantage points, from writing graphic novels to screenplays to directing. Writing and directing “Blaze” (about the country songwriter Blaze Foley) last year was so special. The

friends like you less. I think whatever your profession, though, you want your work to be deemed worthy by your peers. But I also feel awards are an advertisement for the industry, and without them, most producers would only care about making money. So having them motivates financial people to make better art— whether it’s a film like “Moonlight” or some small play that was done in a church basement. Of course, I know it’s all a bit arbitrary, so you have to have a sense of humor about the result. And, ultimately, I feel proud of all the work I do, whether I get an award or a nomination or not. You’re practically a lifelong New Yorker. Where are your favorite places to eat?

young musicians in the film not only loved acting, they had no cynicism and came to this profession completely humble. That really stoked the fire inside me. You mentioned getting older. Does it bother you that you’re not far from

There are a lot of great restaurants in the theater district, like Café Un Deux Trois and Joe Allen, and I love stopping into Bar Centrale for a drink after the show. For special occasions, my family loves the Waverly Inn downtown, and we always head to Blossom for vegetarian food.

turning 50?

First, you have to remind yourself that it beats the alternative! There was a period about 10 years ago when I felt I was the youngest person in every room and so I saw myself that way. Now, there’s been a transition, and I’ve seen my role in the arts community shift. And I realize if you roll with it, you can see how many exciting possibilities are left. So, honestly, I am enjoying this stage of life. I feel like a really young old person, and that makes me happy. It’s fine that I am not trying to be 25 anymore; as an actor, you start thinking about being in shape to do “King Lear” at 84, not how good you’re going to look on a magazine cover. “True West” could put you in the Tony Awards race again: You’ve already got some awards recognition for “First Reformed.” Does winning awards matter to you?

Honestly, if you win, you win, but your

Where else do you like to just hang out?

I would say my favorite place in all of New York is St. John the Divine [Cathedral Church], because it’s so peaceful, and you can’t beat just walking through Central Park. And going to Marie’s Crisis, that piano bar in the West Village, is always a fun way to spend an evening. So, now that you’re finally doing “True West,” what else is on your bucket list?

Some of my most thrilling years in New York revolved around Malaparte, the theater company I co-founded in 1991 with people like Josh Hamilton, Robert Sean Leonard and Steve Zahn. I would love to have that come full circle somehow and start another company. But this one would be more cross-cultural; I have a dream of setting it up in the Bronx. More than ever, I believe we all need a place to play with theater and rediscover what this art form can truly be. IN NEW YORK | JANUARY 2019 | INNEWYORK.COM

COME JANUARY, THERE’S NOTHING LIKE A RICH, STICK-TO-THE RIBS MEAL. BY MERYL PEARLSTEIN

n the summertime, it’s all about focusing on lighter meals. Lemonade, salads, cold soups and fruit are the way to go to both beat the heat and maintain your bathing-suit physique. But wintertime is the call of the hearty. It’s about enjoying comfort foods that keep you warm and happy during the time when the sun—and many New Yorkers—go into hibernation. If you tend to look at winter as a time to treat yourself without needing to stuff yourself into a Thanksgiving-like food coma, we recommend these high-quality, indulgent dishes that also help stave off the cold. So, after you are done with the sightseeing, the neighborhood wandering or the business meeting, walk yourself into one of these notable NYC restaurants, peel off those layers of coats, vests, sweaters, scarves and mittens, and chow down—guiltlessly—on these splendid dishes. IN NEW YORK | JANUARY 2019 | INNEWYORK.COM

THERE’S NOTHING LIKE A PLATE OF MEAT American steak houses are a natural when it comes to offering comforting, stick-to-your-ribs choices. Greenwich Steakhouse (62 Greenwich Ave., 212.553.5000), from longtime Smith & Wollensky vet Victor Chavez, offers five choices of dry-aged steaks served fireside in the three-story town house, but it’s the thick-cut bacon appetizer that really had me drooling. The Italians, too, have perfected the art of grilled meat as evidenced by the frenzy over Florentine T-bone. At Charlie Bird (5 King St., 212.235.7133), Chef Ryan Hardy infuses culinary magic into his rib-eye bistecca for two, a beautiful meat charred on the outside and rare in the center, served with rosemary potatoes. Or opt for another Italian meat-and-potato combo, Il Gattopardo’s (1315 W. 54th St., 212.246.0412) herb-crusted Colorado rack of lamb with a side of potato croquettes. Barbecue is the go-to for an American carnivore fix, and New York City eateries offer a range of styles, from Memphis dry rub to Kansas City sweetand-smoky. Virgil’s Real Barbecue (152 W. 44th St., 212.921.9494) invites you to pick your favorite from an expansive menu of pulled-meat sandwiches, brisket, wings and ribs. Classic New York deli sandwiches are meat-centric, carb-laced comfort food to the core. For a fine dining version of a deli superstar, try Ralph’s Corned Beef Sandwich at Ralph Lauren’s The Polo Bar (1 E. 55th St., 212.207.8562), an overflowing affair that combines meat with melted Swiss on marble rye to luscious effect.

NO RED MEAT FOR ME, PLEASE If red meat is a no-no for you, there are plenty of other satisfying ways to suit up against the cold. At Legasea (485 Seventh Ave., 212.268.1888), a TAO group restaurant primarily focused on seafood, a standout is Chef Jason Hall’s Nashville-inspired Fried Chicken Box with buttermilk biscuits, served with Mike’s Hot Honey for a nice kick. And if you want to avoid meat altogether, order the sinfully rich black truffle pizza at The Mark (25 E. 77th St., 212.744.4300), a Jean-Georges Vongerichten signature. Or tuck into another Italian favorite that will leave you feeling equally happy: a plate of potato gnocchi with white truffle oil at Davio’s (447 Lexington Ave., 212.661.4810).

GLOBAL FEASTING There are no shortage of pasta-filled Italian restaurants here to satisfy your inner winter marathoner. One among is Santina’s (820 Washington St., 212.254.3000) wondrous pumpkin-seed pesto pasta, but don’t ignore the restaurant’s splendid butternut

squash carpaccio, dressed with honey agrodolce. New York, of course, prides itself on its diverse range of international cuisines, many of which are perfect for taming the outdoor freeze. The French have stylishly eschewed “lite cuisine” no matter the season, and in winter their cooking is most appealing. Take, for example, the decadent pâté de campagne at Vaucluse (100 E. 63rd St., 646.869.2300), an über-rich terrine with pork, bacon, smoked duck, foie gras and pine nuts. Meanwhile, France’s British neighbors also have a deep connection with cold weather—think Charles Dickens and “A Christmas Carol”—and the need for stick-to-your-ribs warmth and comfort. Mushy peas, a staple in English pubs, finds its way to New York at the Jones Wood Foundry (401 E. 76th St., 212.249.2700), enriched there with so much butter that it should be illegal. For the meat lovers among you, order your peas with bangers and mash, and you’ll find yourself swooning with toasty bliss. Soups have long been mainstays when it comes to providing warmth and comfort, and there’s nothing heartier than a steaming bowl of Japanese ramen to satisfy. E.A.K. Ramen (469 Sixth Ave., 646.863.2027) dishes up the appropriately named Oh So Hot! ramen, a slurpable feast made with chicken, egg, miso tare, thick noodles, nori and bean sprouts. For another one-plate dish that’s equally satisfying, Boqueria’s (260 W. 40th St., 646.233.4055) Barcelona-inspired paella leaves out the broth and loads a rice-filled skillet with monkfish, squid, shellfish, saffron and salsa verde at night; and chicken, pork belly, piquillo peppers and eggs by day.

WHO DOESN’T LOVE CHEESE? There’s something very appealing about cheese. Hard cheese, soft cheese, melted cheese—some people swear it’s the most satisfying food of all. A childhood favorite, the grilled cheese sandwich, takes on an adult twist as a snackable grilled cheese ball, made with brioche smashed together with three cheeses and served over silky tomato soup at the Meatball Shop (798 Ninth Ave., 212.230.5860). And while you can indulge in a gloppy cheeseburger in any of the Five Guys restaurants or Greek diners throughout the city, you should savor the flavor of the melty cheese on its own at NoMad Bar’s Sunday night fondue station (10 W. 28th St., 212.796.1500). Swiss chef Daniel Humm knows his cheese: I’m just sorry that he doesn’t serve it all year long. Finally, if you’re craving a cheesy sweet finish, the whipped ricotta appetizer at Miss Ada (184 DeKalb Ave., Fort Greene, Brooklyn, 917.909.1023) should actually be billed as a dessertw. It’s sweet and filling, preparing you for reentry into the frozen world of IN NEW YORK | JANUARY 2019 | INNEWYORK.COM

afternoon In between lunch and dinner, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lovely respite called teatime.

delight By Karen Tina Harrison

IN THE CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS, where naps are unthinkable, how do the walking weary recharge? One local secret is New York’s uncharacteristically not-so-quick fix: afternoon tea. This leisurely ritual was honed by British aristocrats with not enough to do. But here, where there’s too much to do, afternoon tea is a restorative escape. Two companionable hours over tea, sandwiches and desserts will have you stoked with New York energy. Make a reservation, come hungry, consider champagne and while away an unforgettable afternoon.

Legendarily Luxurious

The iconic Plaza New York hotel (768 Fifth Ave., 212.546.5300) offers a suitably sumptuous afternoon tea in its Palm Court, a bastion of Gilded Age grandeur beneath a glorious stained-glass dome. Dapper waiters deliver porcelain pots of fragrant tea amid a sonic backdrop of jazz and the murmur of delighted patrons (among them lucky young visitors exulting in the Palm Court’s Eloise tea service for children). Your tripletiered tea tray proffers teatime classics like warm scones with buttery Devonshire cream and lush lemon curd. But this is the Plaza New York, where tea sandwiches include loxlike salmon and cucumber that’s halfway to pickle. The dessert assortment’s chocolate hazelnut Nutella bar is halfway to heaven.

Afternoon tea service at The Grand Salon at Baccarat Hotel New York

Crystal Palace

Baccarat Hotel (28 W. 53rd St., 212.790.8867) is run by France’s fashionable crystal brand, and its Grand Salon lounge resembles a luminous nightspot with seductively cushy gray chairs and breathtaking crystalline chandeliers and lamps. Equally opulent afternoon tea menus present a champagne option served in jewellike Baccarat goblets. Tea is served in four styles: French (with quiche and madeleines), English (lobster on brioche and muffin-tender scones), Turkish (pistachio-almond cake and rose halvah) and Russian (caviar). Teas are curated by Gabrielle Jammal, whose belief that “tea has an uncanny ability to connect people” goes double amid the Grand Salon’s feel-good glamour.

Conversational Cocoon

The tea service in the Lowell Hotel’s Pembroke Room (28 E. 63rd St., 212.605.6825) sates twin urban passions: for tranquil hideaways and one-on-one conversations. This oasis of dignity feels like the parlor room of a fine home on the Upper East Side. It perches within this fivestar hotel known for white-glove service, a reputation upheld by the Pembroke Room’s tea stewards. They are pitch-perfect, whether describing the house’s Dammann Frères teas from France, finessing a vegIN NEW YORK | JANUARY 2019 | INNEWYORK.COM

Fast Cars and Slow Pleasures

Bluebird London (10 Columbus Cir., 347.682.2100) pays homage to the Blue Bird, a record-smashing British race car that riveted England during the 1920s and 1930s. Its New York spin-off, a sleek, sunny restaurant with a bar that serves afternoon tea, is a bit racy itself, suggesting add-ons of gin cocktails and bubbly (including one from the U.K.). If you can avert your eyes from the view-tiful Central Park vista, you’ll spy many a PYT (Pretty Young Thing) from both ends of the pond reveling in their Bluebird afternoon idyll, alternating sips of tea and champagne. Cheers!

Lounge at Lady Mendl’s

Timelessly Captivating

As you step into the parlor floor of the 1834 brownstone that houses Lady Mendl’s (56 Irving Pl., 212.533.4600), you enter New York’s past. Society grande dame Lady Mendl was a pioneering style influencer, and her namesake tea salon is decorated with antiques and the occasional leopard-print pillow. Lady Mendl’s tea devotees savor a tea menu served on vintage china, commencing with a seasonal soup, such as butternut squash, and finishing with macarons, petits fours and a velvety 20-layer cake of crepes and vanilla cream. Tea blends, such as toasted coconut are highly flavored, and wines by the glass heighten the magic.

For the Love of Chocolate

MarieBelle Cacao Bar (484 Broome St., 212.925.6999) is an enchanting enclave that electrifies disciples of the cacao bean. Nestled within MarieBelle’s jewel-box chocolate boutique, the tearoom resembles a fantasy Parisian sweets parlor bedecked with marble, ribbons and gilt. Apart from a course of finger sandwiches, tea for two is choco-centric, with an array of chocolate-imbued pastries, cakes and bonbons, all as delectably French as the decor.
