GIFTS FOR DAD by Joni Sweet

“What I want more than anything else for Father’s Day this year would be tickets to see the New York Liberty with my daughter.

We really enjoy watching basketball together, especially the WNBA!”—Christopher Persley, father of one, co-organizer of NYC Dads Group “My wife and I have this tradition of gifting one another [with] a day of only parenting joys on Mother’s Day/Father’s Day. That means we get to sleep in, we don’t have to cook or clean up after the kids, we don’t discipline, we don’t put the kids down for naps or to bed, and we don’t change diapers! This year I want to play with my kids, go to the gym, get a massage at Song’s Body Zen Spa in Astoria and sit alone for a while in a coffee shop. I want to spend time with my kids and wife, but only experience the joys of parenting!”—Tyler Moore, father of two, @TidyDad on Instagram “For Father’s Day, I want the Hand Bowl [by] Harry Allen [available from Brooklyn-based gift and home accessories brand Areaware at areaware.com]. It’s just too expensive and silly for me to buy myself, and yet, it’s so cool.”— Joshua David Stein, father of two, host of The Fatherly Podcast

The premium athletic apparel company is on a mission to revamp men’s fitness clothing from baggy, branded garments that turn guys into walking billboards to durable, streamlined styles that look sharp even outside the gym. The secret sauce to Rhone’s reputable clothes, though, is the silver threads woven into many of the shirts, socks and boxer briefs.

As the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising approaches and the world gathers in New York for a celebration of Pride like no other before it, local museums examine the importance of the movement and gay artists to culture between 1969 and now.

(1) IN FOCUS To consider Robert Mapplethorpe, who died of complications from HIV/AIDS in 1989, as an exclusively gay artist is to do him and his photography an injustice. Yet his homosexuality informed every image he took. “Implicit Tensions: Mapplethorpe Now” is a yearlong retrospective in two parts: Part One concludes July 10, Part Two begins July 24. | Solomon R.

Good Old Reliable

NATHAN NATHAN LANE, as we all know, is an actor with many moving and amusing parts, but it wasn’t until Howard Kissel, the Daily News’ late theater critic, pointed it out 30 years ago that I realized these parts also included a derriere that did double takes.

“Early in Terrence McNally’s ‘The Lisbon Traviata,’” wrote Kissel, “occurs what may be a breakthrough in the history of acting: a double take executed by an actor’s rear end. The rear is draped in an elegant red dressing gown and it is positioned at a fairly sharp angle while the head that belongs to it searches for something on the other side of a sofa …

When the buried head hears of the existence of a new record by Maria Callas, the whole body freezes. The ample, grandly draped rear achieves a rigidity, an intensity that speaks volumes. Here is a body in the grip of obsession.”

Obsession is the essential motor driving most of Lane’s characters toward comedy or drama and sometimes, simultaneously, to both. He brings all of himself to his roles—even the personal contradictions, which are not only compatible but useful in shaping the human dimensions of the person he is playing.

When he was 21, he told his mother he was gay. Her response: “I would rather you were dead.” His response to her response: “I knew you’d understand.” The hurt and the humor in that are something he carries around with him from part to part.

Those two components are profoundly in play in Lane’s current Broadway endeavor, Taylor Mac’s “Gary: A

10

IN NEW YORK | MAY-JUNE 2019 | INNEWYORK.COM

Sequel to Titus Andronicus,” in which he plays a street clown whose streets are cluttered with cadavers—the bloody and unfortunate consequences of some Shakespearean power-playing.

Ordinarily, Lane doesn’t like being lumped in that clown car. He thinks that people don’t see the real actor in there trying to climb out, that a real actor was the reason they got the laugh. Comedy, when one is super-successful at it as he is, can be a curse.

This is why Lane has been known to take to the Letters-to-the-Editor portion of publications to wave furiously his “Actor First! Comedian Second!” banner—like the time he took umbrage at a road-company Bialystock and Bloom for saying of his and Matthew Broderick’s acclaimed turns in the 2001 Broadway musical “The Producers”: “When you go to see Nathan Lane or Matthew Broderick, you go to see those guys, their personas, and you sort of miss the show.” Lane promptly came down from On High and corrected their vision: “As the man who created [Max Bialystock] on Broadway, as an actor and uncredited co-writer, let me just say that is pure crap. I was not applying a so-called persona to the character. I wasn’t making a personal appearance. I was acting a role and telling the story to the best of my ability.” He then ran through his award bric-a-brac inventory and deduced, “I must have some credibility as an actor.”

In the beginning, he was Joe Lane, the youngest son of three in an Irish Catholic family in Jersey City, New Jersey. But, after a brush with “Guys and Dolls,” he anointed himself Nathan Lane (after Nathan Detroit, a character in that musical) and has been such ever since, earning his first Tony nomination in that role on Broadway.

With an alcoholic father and a bipolar mother, his was a childhood that invited diversion. Privately, he did a 360-degree turn to comedy, majoring in the works (and the working parts) of Jackie Gleason and Lou Costello, one has come to suspect. Even more privately, he seeped deeper into theater arts the old-fashioned way—by joining the Fireside Theatre book club that distributed a play a month to its members.

His first from Fireside was Neil Simon’s “The Odd Couple,” and, when he did it on Broadway decades later with his “Producers” co-star, Matthew Broderick, they opened with a $20 million advance. Comic chemistry came easy for them, and they often tried to break each other up onstage. On learning “Oklahoma!” bowed in 1943 at the St. James Theatre, where “The Producers” was playing, they started throwing lines with a bucolic spin at each other like laughing lightning bolts.

Through the Fireside series, he also struck up an infinity for Theodore Hick-

man—“Hickey,” the hardware peddler who brings false hope to fellow barflies of Harry Hope’s saloon in Eugene O’Neill’s “The Iceman Cometh”—and acted it out pretty much to perfection in Chicago and Brooklyn. His darkness was drowned in the brightest light.

Lane made his Broadway debut in 1982 in Noël Coward’s “Present Laughter,” playing the talent-free, lavishly ardent playwright who was all over leading man George C. Scott like an ant farm, and he ran right into a stop sign from New Yorker critic Brendan Gill.

He can still quote that negative notice verbatim—and did on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” in April: “[Gill] said, ‘Although he garners much laughter and applause, Nathan Lane is a rank amateur who should never be allowed on the stage.’ And then, I met [Gill] at an American Theatre Wing seminar, and he told me he was a big fan.”

Happily—for us as well as for Lane—he didn’t heed the Gill ban and has bounded back to Broadway 23 times, in between appearances OffBroadway and on screens large and small, amassing three Tony Awards. In addition, he has won six Drama Desk Awards, six Outer Critics Circle Awards, two Obies, one Lortel, an Olivier and the Drama League’s Distinguished Performance Award, which can be won only once in a performer’s lifetime. Yes, he seems to have acquired “some credibility as an actor.”

Obsession is the essential motor driving most of Lane’s characters toward comedy or drama or both.

N HONOR OF the 73rd annual Tony Awards, which take center stage on June 9, I propose a new award category: Best Theater-influenced Dining.

The revival of “She Loves Me” won David Rockwell the 2016 Tony Award for Best Scenic Design of a Musical for the “jewel-box” parfumerie that gracefully transitioned into a restaurant, an apartment and a hospital room. His three currently playing musicals, “Kiss Me, Kate,” “Tootsie” and “Pretty Woman: The Musical,” are every bit as stunning, featuring sets that track in and around, creating scenes as varied as a theater stage and dressing room, a hotel suite, a streetscape and a skyline. Thanks to Rockwell’s “emphasis on arrival, procession, lighting and the all-encompassing power of a live theatrical experience,” dining in one of the New York restaurants designed by him can have the same immersive, transformative quality as watching one of his Broadway shows.

In stage and restaurant productions, design plays a leading role with storytelling at the heart of each. States Rockwell, “To some extent, both theater and hospitality are centered on scenography and storytelling. They also share the intention to communicate ideas through an experience.” In Rockwell’s vision, theatergoers are transported to a world of fantasy from curtain to curtain, and from scene to scene. Similarly, diners enjoy “acts,” with the plot “choreographed as a promenade through spaces” and cuisine paced into a rhythm of courses.

Like some plays, some restaurants can be construed as revivals. The feeling when you dine at the redo of Danny Meyer’s Union Square Cafe is “familiar but fresh,” according to General Manager Chris Nelson. Designed by Rockwell, the “new” USC is akin to “Kiss Me, Kate,” each returning for an encore after a multiyear hiatus. Both incorporate elements of

the past but add new spins. USC’s balcony, with its choice “opera box” seating, recalls the original café as does a portion of the upstairs bar. Wainscoting from the previous “production” has been refreshed in a richer tone, and familiar artwork graces the walls. Like a theatrical revival paying homage to the original piece, the restaurant feels comfortable and current at the same time.

Then there are shows and restaurant designs that stop you cold with their breakthrough quality, charting new territory that wows from the start whether they are “revivals” or totally new productions.

Manhattan’s TAO “part two” is such a restaurant. Taking advantage of its multilevel space in the Maritime Hotel, TAO Downtown plays to its audience with even more drama than the Midtown original. Enter through massive doors studded with lion door knockers, and you’ll encounter a long, vaulted corridor leading to a giant reclining Buddha overlooking a staircase that conjures up “Sunset Boulevard” or “Hello, Dolly!”

You can feel the “Follies” vibe as you descend the shallow steps toward your table. “We looked at how stairs add drama to the audience’s arrival at a performance venue,” notes Rockwell, “and we wanted to mark and celebrate the entry here.”

At TAO, Rockwell gives the stairs two additional roles: They’re the location of the restaurant’s premier seating and a theatrically lit line to the 24-arm Quan Yin statue awaiting diva-like adoration at the back of the room.

Successful design also takes into account the culinary orientation of the restaurant. At TAO, food presentations are often as dramatic as the setting. Take, for example, the larger-thanlife fortune cookie filled with chocolate and white mousse and adorned with exotic, diced dragon fruit and rambutan. The

dessert’s provocative double entendre fortunes are the culinary equivalents of characters with dual parts—Think: Michael Dorsey dolled up as Dorothy Michaels in “Tootsie,” or actress Lilli Vanessi as Kate, her shrewish Skakespearean doppelgänger in “Kiss Me, Kate.”

Also utilizing the device of a Broadway-like staircase but this time heading skyward, Legasea is a buzzy brasserie on the second floor of the Moxy Times Square hotel. Here Rockwell’s nautical world of tiles, lighting and furnishings creates a fun, maritime feel and an immersive “set” for seafood-focused dining. Scattered theatrical cues enhance the experience with lighting shaped like buoys, rope designs on the ceiling and backdrops decorated with fish. A sidewalk-level sign invites you upstairs with the bright lights and neon of a Broadway marquee. Chef Jason Hall describes the Legasea experience this way: “It’s important that the food, menu and restaurant design all flow together. We have a lot of cool moments depending on where you sit; the bar in the front is like the first act, a comfortable booth in back is the main show. The menu is like that, too, with the appetizer, entrée and dessert sequence leading to the final curtain.”

Nobu Downtown is a remake of sorts of Nobu’s nowclosed TriBeCa eatery. Rockwell’s goal was to reprise Nobu’s original “exploration of materiality” and cultures within its new, larger neoclassical home in the Financial District. Hovering over the bar and lounge, a Sumi-e ink swirl sculpture points downstairs to the main dining room, where design elements honor the past but give birth to a new and exciting

space. Signature ash trees inspire the supports for an undulating wood canopy fashioned kirigami style. Two walls of ceramic sake carafes create an intimate tasting room, a set-within-a-set set like those in “The Taming of the Shrew” in “Kiss Me, Kate,” “Juliet’s Nurse” in “Tootsie” and “La Traviata” in “Pretty Woman.” Creating other scenes within the restaurant “story,” banquette areas accented with Peruvian colors call to mind the Rodeo Drive shop in “Pretty Woman,” while the open sushi bar with its “kimono”-draped seats feels like the busy, interactive lobby of the Beverly Wilshire hotel.

If not as overtly dramatic as TAO or Nobu, Avra Madison gives you a first-class dining ticket to the Mediterranean. Using props like real lemon trees, a seafood and vegetable market mini-set, and an open staircase linking the airy upstairs with a sexy downstairs space, the sequel to the popular Midtown estiatorio is theater on a lighter scale.

While the “melodies” may seem familiar, the fresh whitewashed palette informs Avra Madison’s updated “script” for food and service.

Looking for something more intimate but still with a touch of drama? Theatrical dining design doesn’t have to be bold or showy like that of Nobu or TAO, nor does it need to be derivative à la Union Square Cafe or Avra Madison. The Library at the Public Theater, helmed by chefs Andrew Carmellini and John Ramirez and also designed by Rockwell, is a cozy boîte that gives a textured Off-Broadway feel to an unexpected space and a culinary destination for those “in the know.”

And, now, Mr. Rockwell, we’re ready for our dinner.

The Rum House

IF YOU’RE A NATIVE New Yorker—or even if you just look like one—you can be guaranteed that someone, somewhere, sometime will ask you this question: “Where is your favorite place to eat or drink?” And to be honest, this query always poses a bit of a conundrum: Do you share the name of that very special spot or keep it to yourself, afraid it will get even more crowded, making it even harder than it already is to get a table or bar stool?

Fortunately, we found some very generous people who didn’t hesitate to tell us where they hang out.

In honor of the 2019 Tony Awards (June 9 at Radio City Music Hall), we asked some former Tony winners and nominees—all currently appearing on Broadway—to let us in on their favorite dining and drinking spots, whether in the Theater District or near their residences.

Take our advice and take their advice!

“I love La Masseria. Beautiful, delicious and wonderful service!”—Beth Leavel (“The Prom”), 2006 Tony winner for “The Drowsy Chaperone” “Recently I find myself eating at Brasserie Athénée or getting a drink at The Rum House. I love a moody atmosphere, and both places play amazing music.

Brasserie Athénée has an amazing menu full of goodies. I’m glad the [Walter Kerr Theatre] is so close to both places, so I have an excuse to go to them more often!”—Eva Noblezada (“Hadestown”), 2017 Tony nominee for “Miss Saigon”

“My favorite Midtown haunt is the cozy and rustic Casellula. Not only does it boast an impeccably curated wine and cheese list, its menu also features delicious tapas plates to appeal to all palates. Sublime yumminess.”—Emily Skinner (“The Cher Show”), 1998 Tony nominee for “Side Show” “‘The Cher Show’ is my second run on West 52nd Street and, just as I did during my four-year stretch in ‘Jersey Boys,’ I’ve made Toloache my goto neighborhood spot. Whether it’s for brunch (order the chilaquiles and a café de olla), dinner (camarones Toloache is a particular favorite) or something off the extensive tequila/margarita menu, they never disappoint me. It’s always a great time.”—Jarrod Spector (“The Cher Show”), 2014 Tony nominee for “Beautiful: The Carole King Musical” “My family and I have been blown away by the incredible quality and range of restaurants in New York, but the one place we keep going back to, and taking our visiting family to, is Cafe Fiorello. It’s our home away from home. And their focaccia got me through previews!”—Harry Hadden-Paton (“My Fair Lady”), 2018 Tony nominee for “My Fair Lady” “I love The Brazen Tavern. It’s a fantastic pub with great atmosphere. Chances are you’ll find ‘The Ferryman’ cast there after the show, as it’s become our go-to place for after-show drink and food.”—Brian d’Arcy James (“The Ferryman”), 2002, 2009 and 2015 Tony nominee for “Sweet Smell of Success,” “Shrek The

Toloache

Musical” and “Something Rotten!”

“Usually between shows I will head over to Island Burger & Shakes; they have amazing chicken sandwiches, burgers and wine!! I also love B Squared, an unconventional pizza place with the best thin-crust pizzas! Try the meatballs!! And, then, after a show, I will head to Glass House Tavern for their wonderful bar food and cocktails!”—Christopher Sieber (“The Prom”), 2005 and 2009 Tony nominee for “Spamalot” and “Shrek The Musical” “I love walking up to Jacob’s Pickles for lunch with my daughter, Skyler. Comfort food at its best!”—Shuler Hensley (“The Ferryman”), 2002 Tony winner for “Oklahoma!”

“I’m a recent resident of Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, and there is a serious Thai restaurant called KROK that will knock your socks off. The ambience is quaint, nothing fancy, but the food is simply remarkable. It’s Thai street food, and it is completely sensational. The fish sauce wings will change you on a cellular level.”—Alexander Gemignani (“My Fair Lady”), 2018 Tony nominee for “Carousel” “My wife, Carrie, and I have a 4-year-old child, so we don’t get out very often these days. So, honestly, my favorite NYC hangout is just anywhere I can meet up with and see my friends. It could be a park bench! Although, admittedly, proximity to bourbon is always a plus.”—David Furr (“Burn This”), 2016 Tony nominee for “Noises Off”
