August 2018

NEW YORK

If, as T.S. Eliot says, April is the cruelest month, then August is most certainly the hottest—at least in NYC—and in every sense of the word. A few examples: Outdoor entertainment is in full swing, from the Smorgasburg food festival in Brooklyn to the US Open Tennis Championships in Queens to Lincoln Center Out of Doors in Manhattan.

And, if the heat from all these outdoor events gets a bit too much for you, we suggest indulging in a spa treatment that will have you cooling down in no time: We’re talking cryotherapy body chambers, icy facials and more. We also offer you tips on what to do across the bridge in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, and in Manhattan’s NoHo (an acronym for “North of Houston Street”).

In other words, Mr. Eliot, NYC is anything but a wasteland in August.

FOOD

BURG GONE WILD

Eric Demby and Jonathan Butler reinvent how Brooklyn eats.

Manhattan has Broadway, but in Brooklyn from April to October, Smorgasburg takes center stage. Each weekend, the open-air food market on the Williamsburg waterfront has 20,000-30,000 visitors and 100 vendors, with cuisine as varied as it is entertaining. “People do things like torch their meringue: They really put on a show,” says Smorgasburg co-founder Eric Demby. Smorgasburg, brought to life in 2011 by Demby and Jonathan Butler, is an offshoot of Brooklyn Flea, a huge food fair/flea market the duo started in 2008. “I’m proud that we created a showcase of the borough,” Demby says.

Other events include Berg’n (see sidebar), Smorgasburg LA, concessions for Central Park SummerStage, a three-day event called Smorgasburg Osaka in Japan and outdoor film screenings via “Movies With a View,” in Brooklyn Bridge Park. “We’re always talking and thinking,” Demby says.

This combination food/beer hall in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, is the first brick-andmortar location for Butler and Demby, featuring food from Mighty Quinn’s BBQ, Landhaus and Maizey Sunday Tacos. Housed on the bottom floor of a building codeveloped by Butler on Bergen Street, “it’s become a gathering place for the community and building [which also houses offices],” Demby says. “At night, it’s a vibrant food scene.”

These alternative treatments to looking and feeling better are on the cuttingedge of cool.

By Joni Sweet

New York is an undeniably awesome place to spend the summer months. Who can argue with long, sunny days lounging in Central Park, breezy nights sipping cocktails at rooftop bars and weekends filled with outdoor concerts and events?

Chilling out takes on a meaning of its own, though, when it comes to 21st-century beauty treatments. From frozen saunas and subzero body chambers to chilly massages and anti-aging facials that practically freeze time, here are the spa experiences that you won’t have to sweat over.

TRADITIONAL TREATMENTS GONE ICY The soaring temperatures outside make cold versions of standard treatments the hottest thing on the spa scene right now.

To get in on the trend, look no further than Haven Spa. The Greenwich Village spa (with a twinkle-light lounging area) uses

16

WHE RE I A U G U ST 201 8

cold packs in target areas of the body in its 90-minute Tourist Massage, along with a heavy emphasis on vigorous foot and shoulder rubs, to soothe travelers’ most common aches. And if you’ve found your skin looking less than radiant from the harsh heat and sun, the chic spa’s Fire and Ice facial will rejuvenate it with a warm and tingly resurfacing mask, followed by a facial massage using bulbs filled with icy water to stimulate circulation.

The Cornelia Spa at The Surrey takes a subtler, yet no less powerful, approach to cooling guests down. Every body treatment, like the Champagne & Pearl Sugar Glow body polish, ends with the Upper East Side spa’s “Signature Cooling Caress,” in which guests are draped with a cooling neck towel and presented with a sorbet amuse-bouche. Not that you need an excuse for a frozen treat in this weather!

Chill Out

A sudden drop in body temperature promises health benefits, like cardiovascular stimulation, reduced inflammation and calorie burning.

You’ve probably heard of hot stone massages, but what about cold stone? The Spa at the Mandarin Oriental uses smooth stones (cold or hot) in the massage portion of its Ayurvedic Ritual. The nearly threehour experience also features Ayurvedic herb-infused oil treatments on the entire body and a calming head massage. Another chilled-out option at the luxe spot is the Thai Yoga Experience. After getting a massage, stretching out in assisted yoga postures and soaking in an herbal bath, you’ll cool down with a chilling foot massage and tasty lemongrass cooler.

If it’s so hot that even your fingers are begging for something cool, head down to Chillhouse. The spa on the Lower East Side, which focuses on massages and meticulous manicures, uses the cooling properties of mint in a homemade hand scrub to give your paws a gentle chill at the end of The Full Monty nail service.

Freezing takes on both a literal and figurative meaning at Tribeca Medspa. Its anti-aging Stem Cell Facial uses dermaplaning exfoliation and frozen bovine stem cells on the face to reduce the signs of aging.

The stem cells help boost the production of collagen and elastin in your skin.

CHILLY SAUNAS+POOLS Aura Wellness Spa chills one of its therapeutic grottoes to 40 degrees. These indoor caves, made from mineral-rich soil, are said to promote health benefits, like stress relief, boosted metabolism and improved circulation. The spa recommends breaking a sweat in the heated grottoes, then cooling down in the Stone Ice Grotto to remove toxins. Access to the grottoes is complimentary when you book a massage, body scrub, facial or another spa treatment.

If all you want to do this time of year is splash around in the pool, give Aire Ancient Baths New York a try. The TriBeCa spa revives the wellness rituals of the

ancient Greeks, Romans and Ottomans with 90-minute sessions in its candlelit, brick-walled bathing chamber. Two chilled plunge pools (one of which often has an ice block bobbing around in it) provide instant relief from August’s doggiest days. You can also float around four other luxe tubs, including a saltwater floatarium, as dense as the Dead Sea, and a bubbling jet-propelled pool, and duck into the eucalyptus-scented steam room at your leisure.

Step into the Ice Igloo at Premier57, a hydrotherapy wellness center in Midtown East. Chilled to 46 degrees, the Ice Igloo helps clients acclimate their body temperature after sessions in Premier57’s heated saunas. According to the spa, short stints in the cold environment stimulate the immune system, close pores and relieve pain.

CRYOTHERAPY Extreme heat can call for extreme relief measures, like hopping into a subzero chamber (seriously!). The treatment’s called cryotherapy, and a number of spas around the city offer full-body sessions in special 6-foot tubes cooled between minus 184 and minus 264 degrees that last up to three minutes. The sudden drop in body temperature promises health benefits, like cardiovascular stimulation, calorie burning, reduced inflammation and improved recovery time after strenuous workouts.

KryoLife offers conventional whole-body cryotherapy, along with cryotherapy that targets particular areas of the body, and KryoSculpt, which uses liquid nitrogen vapors at minus 160 degrees on isolated body parts to create a slimming effect.

Chill Space NYC, an intimate Murray Hill spa, offers sessions in a high-tech cryosauna. If you need to warm up after your treatment, the spa also offers restorative flotation therapy in saltwater baths, along with infrared sauna sessions that will have you sweating again in no time.

WHEN THE MERCURY edges past 90 degrees and the sidewalk seems to liquefy, some New Yorkers flee to indoor oases for culinary, cultural and other fun activities, while others, who really do “like it hot,” find plenty to do alfresco.

MOVIES, MUSIC AND MOONLIGHT Why go to the multiplex when you can have your movie stars with celestial stars and sprinklings of fireflies, too? The NYC Parks Department’s Free Summer Movies program offers showings on piers and in parks all over the city. August selections include “The Black Panther” (Aug. 1, Flushing Meadows Corona Park, Queens) and “The Jackie Robinson Story (Aug. 3, Jackie Robinson Park, Manhattan).

Just sitting outdoors to people-watch at the Lincoln Center arts complex is an experience: Try perching on the Josie Robertson Plaza steps, lit with glass-encased LED lights that say "welcome” in multiple languages, with the elegant Revson Fountain behind you. This summer (just like every summer since 1971), you also get three weeks of world-class music, dance, film and more at Lincoln Center Out of Doors, which ends Aug. 12. This year’s roster includes music and conversation with pop star Carly Rae Jepsen, performances by the Dance Theatre of Harlem, a Sunday Heritage Dance Party, “West Side Story Reimagined,” plus lots more. Most events are held at the center’s Damrosch Park.

Step off cement plazas and into lush Green-Wood Cemetery, where a host of activities threaten to wake the dead at this 19th-century national historic landmark, famous for its plethora of bright green monk parakeets. The month of August brings everything from Jazz at Twilight to Historic Trolley Tours to peaceful birding tours led by birding expert Rob Jetts. On Aug. 26, there’s an anything-but-peaceful reenactment of the Battle of Brooklyn, the first battle of the Revolutionary War, complete with cannon fire, parades, soldiers, horses, music and food.

POOL IT! Iconic pictures of New York City summers show children whooping it up in fire hydrants’ spray. At Teardrop Park in Lower Manhattan (winner of the American Society of Landscape Architects Honor Award),

children enjoy water play in a rocky setting resembling a Catskill Mountains clearing, and the 14-foot stainless steel slide is a draw as well. An adults-only hidden play space is The Beach at Dream Downtown hotel, where sun worshippers can buy a day pass to dip in the small, serene glassbottom pool, belly up to the full-service bar for seasonal cocktails or laze on comfy white chaise lounges and nautical blue cushions, well away from the boisterous Chelsea neighborhood.

This summer, at the William Vale hotel, in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, you can also purchase a day pass for the sparkling new 60-foot pool, where you can rent a pergola, daybed and cabana and purchase light fare and cocktails, all served poolside.

Mix with hipsters and the hoi polloi at rehabilitated Olympic-size McCarren Park Public Pool, which straddles the neighborhoods of Greenpoint and WiIliamsburg, in Brooklyn. The pool, which originally opened in 1936, retains its historic arch and bathhouse building and contains lap swimming lanes and beach volleyball.

GO FOR THE OM Rather sweat than swim? Salute the sun and downward dog on even the steamiest days at Bryant Park Yoga, which provides mats, with instructors from some of the top yoga studios around the citiy. Other outdoor venues for yoga include Brooklyn Bridge Park in DUMBO, Brooklyn; Gantry Plaza State Park in Long Island City, Queens (with sweeping views of Manhattan); Sunken Meadow Picnic Area on Randall’s Island (where you can watch the sunset over the East River); Central Park; Union Square Park (sponsored by nearby Paragon Sports store); and Brooklyn Grange (a rooftop farm in Brooklyn).

Finally, Shape Up NYC, a program sponsored by the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation, offers a variety of outdoor summer classes (including yoga). Why go inside at all, when you’ve got so much to choose from in the great outdoors?

Idina’s Back After a storied career in musicals on Broadway (“Rent,” “Wicked”) and worldwide acclaim as the voice of Elsa in the smash animated feature, “Frozen,” Tony Award winner Idina Menzel (pictured) has let all that go to return to live theater in Joshua Harmon’s new OffBroadway play, “Skintight” (p. 31). Why this nonsinging role now?

“My singing roles have really connected me with so many people and brought me so much love,” Menzel has said. “But it is important to stretch myself as an actress, in part, because I think there is a danger of becoming pigeonholed. I know I have more to give than just a great belt!” Critics and her legions of fans agree.

(Previews began July 19, opens Aug. 13) In this new musical comedy, a banker, fired from his job on his 40th birthday, returns to his mother’s house in New Jersey, gets out his guitar and reunites with his high-school mates to form the rock band they always wanted to be.

WHERE IN NEW YORK

We’re addicted to beachin’ it

 For many city dwellers, July and August mean a quick exit east and south for day trips to the city’s closest beaches. Whether it’s the Jersey Shore, Jones Beach on Long Island or the Rockaways in Queens, here is how New Yorkers get their fix of sand and sun.

For more great ideas for fun

The Jersey Shore Take NJ Transit at Penn Station and hop on a North Jersey Coast Line train, with stops at shore towns that include Asbury Park, Belmar, Manasquan, Point Pleasant and Spring Lake. Walk to the beach from the station or grab a (cheap) cab. Try the pretty, unfettered boardwalk and ocean in Manasquan: The 80-plus year old sports bar, Leggetts, is directly across the street from the small stretch of beach, serving what are arguably New Jersey’s best grilled wings, meaty and crispy.

The Rockaways This beachy, laid-back neighborhood in Queens is less than an hour’s subway ride from Manhattan.

The OvR Beach Bus also offers direct runs from Manhattan and Brooklyn, an air-conditioned ride that includes bathrooms, entertainment and a complimenatry cold one.

Once there, choose either Riis Park with its pavilion of food vendors, a flea market and music on the weekends, or Beach 86 through Beach 105 sts., with surf shops, foodie destinations and bars.

Jones Beach Head to Penn Station for the LIRR to Freeport; from there take the n88 express bus directly to the beach (about 15-20 minutes). Clean white sand, good surf, a twomile long boardwalk and a newly opened Boardwalk Café awaits. Sun bathe, swim, fish or take a break from the beach to play miniature golf, shuffleboard or basketball. The Jones Beach Summer Concert Series includes Brad Paisley (Aug, 10) and) Counting Crows (Aug. 22).
