NEW YORK

I will just come out and say it: Broadway is a must for very visitor, from millennials to baby boomers, but the Times Square area is not exactly known as the epicenter of cool when it comes to restaurants. Nevertheless, I do have some favorite eateries when I am catching my own 8 pm curtain, spots that offer exciting spaces and are usually great for people-watching. Geoffrey Zakarian got it right with planting The Lambs Club on W. 44th St. (down the block from the Belasco Theatre), offering his modern American in an Art Decoinspired dining room with red leather banquettes and an enormous fireplace. On the same street is Daniel Boulud’s DB Bistro Moderne, with its narrow dining room, tiny and always-busy bar, and to-die-for foie gras hamburger. Finally, for superior pasta from Lidia Bastianich’s kitchen, look no further than Becco on W. 46th St. All terrific restos with renowned chefs, and most assuredly as vogueworthy as any hip spot you’d find in TriBeCa.

Blue Ribbon Fried Chicken

Staying true to its name, the casual East Village spot packs its menu with all kinds of fried chicken variations, including sandwiches and combo platters, plus classic barbecue sides like coleslaw, fries and smoked mac ’n’ cheese.

The restaurant also serves milk shakes— Nutella, anyone?—craft brews, wine and even two meatless salads.

FOOD

BROMBERG INC.

The Bromberg Brothers created a Blue Ribbon dynasty Blue Ribbon restaurants are stalwarts among NYC’s constantly shifting culinary scene. Since 1992, the brothers, who grew up in Morristown, New Jersey, have carved a name for themselves, creating eateries that cater to the city’s diverse tastes, such as Blue Ribbon Sushi and Blue Ribbon Fried Chicken. “From a young age, we were interested in cooking,” they say. “Our dad brought us all over the world to experience great meals.” In keeping with their jet-setting youth, the brothers studied at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris and worked in France. When they returned home, they noted, “After attending cooking school in Paris, a city full of late-night dining spots and restaurants that didn’t close at all, we knew this was something New York needed.” They decided to fill the void, a decision that led to the first Blue Ribbon Brasserie in SoHo. Now, with 25 years, 20 restaurants and a cookbook behind them, the brothers aren’t slowing down anytime soon.—Sonia Weiser BRUCE AND ERIC BROMBERG’S

What’s New for Fall: Eats

A smorgasbord of new restaurants usher in a new season.

WHE RE I S E P T E M B E R 201 7

AUTUMN IN NEW YORK. As the weather gets crisper, appetites often get sharper.

Luckily, a host of recent arrivals on the local dining scene stand ready to cater to them.

DOWNTOWN Chanson is a spanking-white resto whose British chef produces French pastries for breakfast and artisanal-bread sandwiches for lunch. You can have any of those for afternoon tea as well, plus scones and cakes.

Carrying the patisserie party into the night, a downstairs dessert bar with cocktails is slated to open September 7.

Nearby is another prime spot for carboloading: &pizza, where the black-andwhite decor, punctuated by linear LED ceiling lights and exposed steel columns, is as jumpin’ as the sound track (sometimes spun by live DJs). Tossing out the traditional triangular slice, &pizza produces oblong

slices (or entire pies), every element of which is customizable, from the dough to the sauce to the toppings; there are set versions, too, like the sweet-and-spicy American Honey. Assembled before your eyes at the counter, your pizza slides into an oven and emerges two minutes later.

As the name implies, it’s all about the bubbly at Air’s Champagne Parlor in the West Village, a cozy, colorful living room that’s all plush furnishings, marble-topped tables and glowing chandeliers (shaped like blown bubbles). The menu boasts over 120 varieties of sparkling wines along with bubbly-based cocktails. To go with: sumptuous nibbles, such as cheese and charcuterie plates, lobster salad or caviar dramatically presented under a smoky glass dome.

NYC has never lacked for celebrity chefs.

One of the stars of TV’s “Iron Chef America,” Cat Cora, makes her local debut in the

Meatpacking District with Fatbird. Turns out she’s a Mississippi girl, and so is offering up a menu of Southern fried specialties, from catfish to green tomatoes and sweet potato fries. One must-have: biscuits as big as hamburgers, served with fruit butters.

Wash it all down with drinks served in Mason jars within the light brown-and-white contemporary roadhouse digs.

Across town, famed toque Jean-Georges Vongerichten presents his latest, Public Kitchen. Dine in the leafy walled garden or the woodsy interior.

MIDTOWN It’s one of the secrets of Grand Central Terminal: an historic lounge hidden up a secret stair within the station. The Campbell, reopened last May after a renovation, is a two-story, bronze-and-gilt pseudo-Gothic room, with a stone fireplace, forest-green velvet banquettes and leather-and-mohair chairs. It’s a place for savoring elaborate cocktails and fancy finger foods. More substantial eats are available for lunch and in The Campbell’s adjacent Palm Court.

In the Seagram Building, the former site of the Four Seasons restaurant has been carved into a pair of completely separate restaurants. The Grill revels in steaks, chops and birds—carnivores, don’t miss the trolley of prime rib—and other oldschool dishes prepared tableside. Lighter, both in menu and in mood, is The Pool, which focuses on seafood. Both eateries are the epitome of midcentury modern chic, with the Philip Johnson-designed interior carefully restored—down to the renowned, chain curtains—and also enhanced (in the case of The Pool, by an Alexander Calder mobile hung over the namesake fixture).

If you prefer to grab your fine fish and go, though, make your way to Maki Maki.

The streamlined space, decorated mainly by a drawing of a giant octopus, specializes in super-fresh sushi rolls, made to order.

The menu includes the usual suspects, but you can customize combos, too. Perhaps some wild arugula or a dollop of gobo on that bluefin toro?

UPTOWN After an intensive day doing the town, you really should drop by The Office. Set on the 35th floor of the Mandarin Oriental New York hotel, the librarylike space includes soothing hues and sumptuous fabrics, leather club chairs, parquet floors—and a touch of whimsy with cowskin bar seats.

The focus of this self-styled speakeasy is cocktails, both traditional and innovative (some drinks include mustard or black truffle). The small plates are neat, too, running toward bellota ham, foie gras terrine and sundaes constructed tableside.

A taste of Chinatown comes to the Upper West Side, in the shape of Jing Fong—an offshoot of a dim sum parlor downtown.

With its rough wood tables and bars and red metal chairs, this incarnation is intimate in feel, industrial chic in vibe. Its delicate dumplings, pork buns and other dim sum delight all day, along with fresh takes on classic Cantonese mains.

More Japanese! Though it’s scarcely bigger than a bento box, Sushi Ishikawa is making a splash on the Upper East Side.

Its exquisite pieces of exotic fish are served exclusively omakase-style: that is, in 12- or 15-course dinners, designed by the chef, whom you can watch at work while sitting at the bleached-wood counter.

In contrast to the bare-bones Asian, Majorelle offers a feast for the eyes, with its patterned marble floor, vaulted arched ceilings, silk velvet banquettes and etched mirrors. The cuisine evokes sunny climes: southern French, with Moroccan and Mediterranean touches, à la lobster risotto, Sauternes-sautéed foie gras and snapper tagine. Memories of summer, even as we welcome the autumn days.

SUMMER IS AN easygoing season, days of traveling light and taking it slow. When fall comes ’round, though, it’s time for some serious shopping. Happily, these recent arrivals on the New York City retail scene can help refresh your fall and winter wardrobe.

DOWNTOWN Even in ever-trendy TriBeCa, 180 The Store stands out. Maybe it’s the little garden of potted plants that greets you at the door, or the row of shiny new bikes opposite them (all for sale, by the way). Behind them stretches a large, white, sunny room, with racks of Boho-chic clothing—menswear on the left, womenswear on the right, technically speaking (though the flowy shirts and cargo pants have a unisex vibe). Trestle tables filled with toiletries and eyeglasses occupy the middle. The clothing labels come from all over the world—Japan, Britain and good old NYC—small, ecologically minded companies you may not recognize, but would like to get to know.

You’d be forgiven for mistaking Luana in SoHo for a living room instead of a store, complete with silvery gray settee,

white-painted fireplace, rug-covered, wide-planked wood floors and paneled walls. Look again, though, and you see that the chic space is filled with leather handbags, wallets and belts, draped across a side table or displayed like art objects in the honeycomb shelves of black and gold étagères. A vintage Italian brand that’s been recently revived, Luana’s style runs to the brightly colored and color-blocked; the purses tend to be ladylike, hard-edged bags—none of your slouchy hobos here— adorned with the label’s signature tassel.

UPTOWN Upper Madison Avenue has long been a mainstay for luxe boutiques. Stubbs & Wootton is scarcely bigger than a shoebox, but it sports a hefty array of footwear for both men and women. The store celebrates the slip-on in all its infinite variety: slippers, sneakers, even an espadrille or two. The brand, which began in Palm Beach, Florida, gives the NYC locale a tropical feel, with lattice-patterned wallpaper and lots of white accents. Made in velvet, leather, linen and needlepoint, and adorned with whimsi-

N E W I N A RT For those seeking an artistic fix, here’s a curated guide to the new museum shows:  There was scarcely a celebrity from the 20th century who didn’t sit for a portrait by photographer Editta Sherman. Some 60 of her blackand-white prints are on view at The New-York Historical Society (thru Oct. 15).  Though renowned for her sculptures, Louise Bourgeois was also a printmaker. The Museum of Modern Art’s “Louise Bourgeois: An Unfolding Portrait” (Sept. 24-Jan. 28, 2018) displays hundreds of her illustrated books and prints (such as her engraving, below, “Spiral Woman,” 2003).  2017 is the centenary of the death of French sculptor, Auguste Rodin.

cal designs, the handcrafted shoes come in an infinite variety of patterns and colors, or you can design your own.

Several blocks down lies the fantasy land of Elie Saab, the designer who dresses the likes of Halle Berry and Meryl Streep for red-carpet affairs. So, if you’re a woman with a special occasion to shop for (or even if you don’t), this sizable boutique—all marbled and mirrored, its two floors connected by a spiral white stairway—is the place for a little star quality, whether your taste runs to chiffon gowns, sequined separates or short crepe frocks. And, of course, there are shoes, accessories and perfumes to go with.

MIDTOWN Many pundits predicted that online shopping would bring an end to brick-andmortar stores—but the opposite seems to be happening: E-retailers are opening actual emporiums. One such is Amazon. com, getting back to its literary beginnings with Amazon Books. Lit by a series of illuminated squares on the ceiling, the black decor is simple, letting the book covers

(every title is displayed faceup) provide the color. The hardcovers and paperbacks are arranged both by genre and by Amazon website ratings; every title is also accompanied by snippets from online reviews and, often, a directional arrow pointing to a similar book (“If you like this, you’ll love that”). Sprinkled with little reading nooks and kid-size play stations, the store also sells electronics (from tablets to smartphone chargers) and other things Amazon, including the handsfree speaker and virtual assistant, Aexa, and various smart home devices compatible with it.

For decades, the East 40s have housed an array of men’s haberdashers, and now, Bonobos, another online retailer-gonebrick-and-mortar, is the latest, a neutraltoned venue, where you can actually see all the styles that make the website so popular, from slim-fit suits to button-downs in patterns ranging from no-nonsense (checks) to fun (pink sharks). You don’t walk out with any merchandise, though. A salesperson determines your best size and fit and then has it sent directly to you—perfect for a visitor with limited luggage space.
