NEW YORK

Close friends of mine know that I have a thing about time travel, although, truth be told, I have never actually traveled through time. But if I had something akin to Marty McFly’s flux capacitor from “Back to the Future,” I would set it to Manhattan, circa the 1830s. How thrilling it would be to walk into Fraunces Tavern (opened 1795), today a museum, but then a boarding house with a bar on the first floor (Were women allowed to walk into a saloon by themselves, back then? How I would love to find out!). I would also indulge in a fine meal at Delmonico’s Restaurant, opened in 1837. (I’d meet the Delmonico brothers! And probably have to find a male escort for that, too.) The coolest part of all, though, is that both these historic venues are still around today. So with a little imagination, it’s easy for me to visit these places … and just imagine when!

NEW YEAR’S TOAST Who says sipping bubbly ends Dec. 31?

IT’S EASY TO breathe in the beauty of

Air’s Champagne Parlor— the Greenwich Village hot spot is outfitted with a marble bar, gold-framed mirrors, velvet bar seats and bubbled light fixtures, alluding to the shape of bunches of grapes. But this 1920s-inspired space is also about diversity in your bubbly. The bar carries more than 100 sparkling wines, ranging from bona fide French Champagne to Italian prosecco, sparkling rosés, blended varieties and other fizzy vino from around the world. The menu itself empowers visitors to make educated choices, giving clear definitions of Champagne, sparkling wine and other terms, and the bartenders (in satiny, baby pink bomber jackets) can also tell you anything you might wonder about the wines on offer. Gourmet bites—like caviar toast, oysters (above), charcuterie and grilled cheese with lavender honey—pair beautifully with almost anything poured.—Joni Sweet For more great places to drink champagne in the city, visit wheretraveler.com

When it comes to high-style haute couture, nothing beats Balenciaga, a venerable label now being designed by creative director Demna Gvasalia. The new Upper East Side flagship sports a factory-chic vibe, spare and white and fluorescent-lit, with aluminum-covered tables and the womens- and menswear hanging from conveyor belt hooks. A few blocks away, men, women and kids can literally get their kicks at Golden Goose Deluxe Brand, a long, narrow space filled with the famed spangled sneakers and colorful clothing, too. Urban cowboys and cowgirls can stock up on leather boots and garb from Frye, which has been handcrafting such goods

for 155 years and showing ’em off in its new, woody, leather-upholstered Flatiron site. Intimate, tree-lined Elizabeth Street is filled with charming shops, and one of the most charming is Sézane L’Appartement. A French brand making its U.S. debut—a cheery mosaic “Bonjour New York” welcomes visitors as they enter—it offers chic womenswear in a residential display, along with tables to consume complimentary coffee and cakes. If Sézane is a cute apartment, The Webster farther south in SoHo is an elegant townhouse—four stories of playful designer clothing like Dior and Céline, and accessories for him and her, presented amid art and antiques (also for sale, by the way). A few streets over, they line up waiting for the doors to open at EM PTY Gallery, which houses the super-hot, street-inspired label Off-White, along with rotating art exhibits.

THE POP-UP PHENOMENON It’s not clear exactly when or where pop-up stores began, but certainly the concept of a venue selling a particular product or label for a limited period of time seems here to stay. Usually skimpy in looks but rich in special events or amenities (bowling alleys, food tastings, celebrity appearances), the pop-up creates buzz for a brand, offers a launchpad for new items or acts as a way for a company or website business to test the retail waters. Several of New York’s hottest new emporiums began life as pop-ups, among them

date, but the supple, patina-rich duffels and suitcases at Ghurka on Madison Avenue may well change your mind; and if they don’t, there are always the handbags, wallets, backpacks and briefcases (in classic styles, subtly updated) residing on the individually lit shelves. Women who are into whimsy might prefer nearby Edie Parker’s riffs on 1950s purses: acrylic clutches adorned with stars, fruit or sassy sayings. Barely bigger than a tote bag, the boutique also offers charms and cellphone cases. Those into intimate apparel mustn’t miss Intimissimi, whose luxe Italian lingerie for her—plus pj’s for him—adorn a swank site in Midtown. You may well wonder, “Is this a store or a museum?” when entering spacious Macklowe Gallery. Authentic Tiffany lamps and pieces of Art Nouveau furniture act as backdrop for the freestanding cases of ingenious antique and vintage jewelry (“designed for easy browsing,” company president Benjamin Macklowe says). Your tastes run to something more modern? At Vhernier, minimalist baubles glitter within a streamlined, coral-colored space, adorned with balloonlike hanging sculptures (an echo of the Milan jeweler’s signature piece: the Palloncino, a colorful cabochon stone atop a diamond string).

HOUSE BEAUTIFUL Candleholders that resemble a stack of piled stones and other sculptural objets

d’art and furnishings—all designed by a former filmmaker—characterize the slightly surreal style of newcomer Konekt. By contrast, The Primary Essentials specializes in simple, almost homespun ceramics for table and kitchen, along with artisanal textiles and glassware. In the shadow of the Flatiron Building stands the U.S. flagship of The White Company, a British lifestyle brand offering up linens, fragrances and tableware in a spanking white space (natch). White, sometimes decorated with metallic touches, is also the color of choice of the wireless audio equipment offered by Devialet. Settle into its showroom in Grand Central Terminal for a demo of its portable sound system, featuring astronaut helmetlike speakers.

GOODS FOR THE KIDDIES A sprawling, chandeliered shrine to the famed line of dolls and books, the Rockefeller Center headquarters of American Girl Place has a design-your-own-doll station (she’s shipped to you, after you customize the face and clothing) as well as a hair salon, where girls and dollies can get new ’dos and manicures together. Books of Wonder is a New York institution with a new space. The beloved bookstore, which also sells posters and illustrations, now occupies a 2,500-square-foot Upper West Side corner, where it offers a constant stream of story hours, launch parties and signings almost every weekend.

The RealReal, whose blackpillared outlet resembles a fashionable friend’s fabulously stocked clothes closet; menswear maker Drake’s, offering a mod bit of British haberdashery; and Anson Calder, specialist in contemporary leather goods, from lightweight laptop carriers to ultra-slim wallets built for smart-chip cards (because cash is so 20th century). Pop-ups are by nature unpredictable animals —when they run out of inventory, they close—but a few have promised to stay around for this month. Bluefly.com, which sells designerwear at a discount, is offering bags, shoes and clothes by the likes of Prada, Valentino and Tod’s at its Midtown venue. The Arrivals, maker of sleek shearling, leather and cloth coats, has a presence in SoHo; on random days, buy a garment and get your pic taken by a fashion photographer. Louis Vuitton’s temporary site in Brookfield Place hot-stamps, on the spot, customized decals for the bag you purchase. 21

Manhattan for Millennials

What are the urban must-sees if you are a twenty- or thirty something who has never been to NYC? By Sonia Weiser 22

WHE RE I JA N U A R Y 2018

Brookfield Place

WHEN YOU ARE IN NEW YORK CITY for the first time, the temptation may be to visit every restaurant, bar, shop and venue that you’ve seen on Instagram or read about online. But even the most energetic twentysomething can run around for so long before everything turns into a blur and loses its appeal. So, instead of trying to do it all, pace yourself and let me, another millennial (I’m 25), be your personal tour guide. THE VIEW WITHOUT THE LINE

INDOOR EXPLORE

HIPSTER RESOURCES

No matter what your age, every first-timer to NYC should see the views from the observation decks on top of the Empire State Building and Rockefeller Center, which are inarguably impressive: afterward (or, if you don’t have time for the iconic buildings), get dressed up in your finest and treat yourself to a drink or a bite to eat at Bar SixtyFive, the sophisticated cocktail lounge perched on the 65th floor of 30 Rock. Massive windows display the Big Apple in all its glory, and depending on what you order, it might even be cheaper than a ticket to the top—and tastier.

When temperatures drop and the streets are lined with dirty snow mounds, head to a museum. The Museum of Modern Art’s current exhibit, “Items: Is Fashion Modern?,” runs through the end of January and showcases 111 clothing and accessory items that have influenced and defined style throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. Elsewhere, other big museums like the Whitney Museum of American Art or The Metropolitan Museum of Art are fulfilling alternatives for a chilly day. Most museums offer student discounts, so if you have a school ID, bring it with you. Check Groupon as well: It frequently has deals on museums, not to mention other city attractions.

 THE SKINT (theskint

WAKE UP EARLY

Save on the bar bill and have a vino in your hotel room

Since you are here, it’s most obligatory to venture into Times Square. However, much like Chinatown and Fifth Avenue, Times Square is best before 10:30 am—the crowds have yet to descend, so you can take it all in without feeling claustrophobic. If you are there on a Wednesday, Thursday or Saturday, you can also get discount tickets to a Broadway or Off-Broadway show at the TKTS booth (those are days the booth opens early), along with a view of the Theater District at the top of the TKTS steps.

STAY OUT LATE If you’re a night owl, which you most likely are, dancing ‘til dawn at a club is always an option (1 Oak or the Flash Factory are great choices), but it’s definitely not the only one. Fat Cat in the West Village, open until 5 am daily, has live jazz and jam sessions, not to mention a full bar, billiards, table tennis, board games, foosball and more. Nearby, the IFC Center screens cult-classic flicks at midnight on Fridays and Saturdays, and both the East Village and Midtown Upright Citizens Brigade Theatres (UCB) rarely go a day without at least one comedy show that starts after 9 pm.

SELFIE GIFTS SoHo shopping is a full-day affair, with chain stores running along Broadway and designer boutiques lining side streets. Check out stores like Mango, & Other Stories, Aritzia, Brandy Melville, Uniqlo and Topshop, which are harder to come by outside of major cities. The neighborhood also has an Apple store, acclaimed chocolatiers Mariebelle and Vosges Haut-Chocolat, and Artists & Fleas, an indie art market. For shoppers who’ll tolerate anything for a good discount, Century 21, in FiDi and Lincoln Center, boasts marked-down designer duds and accessories, plus tech and home sections. Book shopping? One of the city’s best is The Strand. The four floors and outdoor racks are bursting with titles, and the rare book room frequently has readings, talks, signings and more. But more than anything, New York’s greatest attraction is the city itself. Walk aimlessly, explore places that look weird or interesting and just see where your feet end up taking you. Sometimes the best experiences are the ones you didn’t look up on Yelp.

.com) This is my favorite way to find out about cheap—sometimes free— events. Updated daily, the site (and newsletter) is perfect for last-minute planners and those of us on a budget. Events typically include bar trivia, improv shows, workshops, movies and dance parties.  OH MY ROCKNESS (ohmyrockness.com) Few concert listing sites are as comprehensive as Oh My Rockness—no matter what your musical genre preference, you’ll be able to find a show in one of the boroughs that fits your jam.  DRINK ON THE CHEAP Nightclubs and concert venues typically upcharge for drinks, so don’t rack up a $50 drink tab. Buy some wine at the notoriously affordable Trader Joe’s Wine Shop in Union Square, and have a few in your hotel room, ordering more modestly when you go out.  CARRY CASH. Not every

bar has moved on from its cash-only days, and street vendors are rarely equipped to handle credit cards. Also, corner delis can be strict about credit card minimums. Buying five packs of gum to pay for your cappuccino is
