“There were doors all round the hall, but they were all locked; and when Alice had been all the way down one side and up the other, trying every door, she walked sadly down the middle, wondering how she was ever to get out again.”—Lewis Carroll The National Ballet of Canada is on pointe in the NYC premiere of choreographer Christopher Wheeldon’s wildly imaginative Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.

If the Shoe Fits … Wear It!

So say millions of women around the world. And their male admirers couldn’t agree more. When it comes to putting the female of the species’ best foot forward, the higher the heel, the sexier the shoe. It’s a point well taken by curators at the Brooklyn Museum, who have organized an encyclopedic new exhibition devoted to pumps through the ages, from 16th-century Italian open-back chopines to designer Chau Har Lee’s lethal “Blade Heel” from 2010 (right), made of Perspex, stainless steel and leather. These shoes weren’t made for just walking. | Killer Heels: The Art of the HighHeeled Shoe, Brooklyn Museum, 200 Eastern Pkwy., Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, 718.638.5000, Sept. 10–Feb. 15, 2015

Renée Fleming (below), America’s beloved soprano, is always up for a challenge. Her extensive operatic repertoire embraces works by Handel and Mozart, Richard Strauss and Dvorak. On New Year’s Eve, she sings Franz Léhar’s The Merry Widow in a new production of the operetta at the Metropolitan Opera. But this month, it’s la dolce vita for Fleming, as she joins the New York Philharmonic in the gala opening-night concert of the orchestra’s 2014-2015 season, a salute to contemporary Italian movie music. | New York Philharmonic, Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center, Columbus Ave., at W. 64th St., 212.875.5656, Sept. 16 & 17

In critical discussions of Abstract Expressionism, artists Lee Krasner (1908–1984) and Norman Lewis (1909– 1979) were often ignored in their day. Could it be because she was a woman (albeit a woman married to the high priest of the movement, Jackson Pollock) and he an African-American? Righting the balance, the Jewish Museum gives the two their due, presenting works such as Krasner’s “Untitled” (left, 1949), an oil on linen from her seminal series of Little Image paintings. | From the Margins: Lee Krasner/Norman Lewis 1945-1952, Jewish Museum, 1109 Fifth Ave., 212.423.3200, Sept. 12–Feb. 1, 2015

Force Field

Headline Screen totktk Stage

“The incredible thing about theater is that it’s not an individual experience, it’s a social encounter,” says Diqui James, director of Off-Broadway’s Wayra: Fuerza Bruta, a nonverbal, interactive spectacle that is all about reaching out. Audiences stand rather than sit and move about rather than stand still. The new work (in Spanish, “wayra” means wind and “fuerza bruta” brute force) anthologizes favorite bits from its two, long-running predecessors, De La Guarda and Fuerza Bruta—including a transparent plastic swimming pool filled with slip-slidding mermaids that is lowered from the ceiling—while adding new elements, notably live techno music and even more intense aerial and wire acts. | Wayra: Fuerza Bruta, Daryl Roth Theatre, 101 E. 15th St., 212.239.6200

Who can resist the lure of live theater? Certainly not these two young movie stars, both born in 1988 and both making their Broadway debuts. • As Ron Weasley, Rubert Grint provided comic relief as hero Harry Potter’s loyal, often ineffectual, but always likable sidekick in the eight Potter films.

fascinating museum displays by Terry Trucco

Tour de Paris

Bohemian Paris seduced Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec as a young art student. That meant he had nearly a lifetime to capture in his art the myriad facets of his chosen city at the height of its Belle Epoque glory. With more than 100 such facets on view, the exhibit The Paris of Toulouse-Lautrec: Prints and Posters envelops you in the heady world of brothels, society salons and cabarets that captivated Lautrec, including the famed Moulin Rouge. Here, too, he discovered his muses: singers, actresses and dancers, among them Loie Fuller, a pioneer of modern dance, and his friend, the cancan star “Jane Avril” (left, 1899). | Museum of

Layers of Clarity

Tomma Abts’ abstract paintings are flat, but they’re not smooth. She intuitively paints and over-paints, layer upon painstaking layer. “It’s all about clarifying, fine-tuning,” she has said of her works, which, ultimately, are about the process of their own creation. In “Oke” (below, 2013) from her new show, she examines her favored terrain—arcs, stripes, circles, shadows and the existential beauty of distillation. | David Zwirner Gallery, 519 W. 19th St., 212. 727.2070, Sept. 10–Oct. 15

Top Twenty Not everything in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, has changed beyond recognition in the last two decades. We’re still here (and thriving) is the implicit message behind Pierogi XX: Twentieth Anniversary Exhibition. A visual victory lap, the show displays 180-plus works, one by almost every artist ever exhibited at the pioneering Williamsburg contemporary art gallery and its offshoot, The Boiler. Among them are works like “Butterfly” (detail, left, 2013), artist John O’Connor’s enormous drawing in pencil and graphite. | Pierogi Gallery, 177 N. 9th St.; The Boiler, 191 N. 14th St., Brooklyn, 718.599.2144, Sept. 5–Oct. 5

The Lost Planet Photographer Sebastião Salgado doubles as a time traveler. His quest: to document life before modernism. During his 10 years of circling the globe, his subjects have included deserts, rainforests and people who embrace ancestral traditions. Done in black and white, his Genesis images seem timeless. “Chinstrap Penguins on icebergs located between Zavodovski and Visokoi islands” (left, 2009) can be from a millennium ago or yesterday. | International Center of Photography, 1133 Sixth Ave., 212.857.0045, Sept. 19–Jan. 11, 2015

Changing Colors

“A Certain Slant of Light” (below, 2014) celebrates art, science and the medieval Book of Hours. With color on the windows and glass panels suspended from the ceiling, artist Spencer Finch transforms the Morgan Library atrium into an exploration of light, time and perception. Colors change seasonally, in synch with the sun’s movements. Look for autumnal yellows this month. | The Morgan Library & Museum, 225 Madison Ave., 212.685.0008, thru Jan. 11, 2015

One look at McCauley “Mac” Conner’s “Strictly Respectable” (above, 1953) and you know everything about the Redbook magazine story it illustrated. Connor, who grew up admiring Norman Rockwell’s magazine illustrations, created eye-catching drawings for advertisements and magazines such as The Saturday Evening Post and McCall’s, helping define postwar America’s identity and style. Mac Conner: A New York Life shows how the artist—still drawing at age 101—did it. | Museum of the City of New York, 1220 Fifth Ave., 212.534.1672. Sept. 10–Jan. 11, 2015.

Lemony Lunching

Rural Repast The expression “farm to table” has been used to the point of suspicion, but some restaurants have the credibility to back up the concept. Such is the case with Blenheim, an innovative American restaurant, whose kitchen offerings come directly from the Blenheim Hill Farm in the Catskills. Selections from a markedly creative menu include roasted beets with fennel crisp and rose petals (above), while copperframed tables and antiquated farm tools create the perfect rustic environment (below). | Blenheim, 283 W. 12th St., 212.243.7073

A Flick Before Broadway? How about a movie before your Broadway show? You can view as many as four different films on Bea’s white brick walls—including one in the sunkissed atrium off the main dining room. Naked gold-flecked lightbulbs hang over tables, where you can munch on complimentary fried and salted chickpeas. The tuna tar guac (right) is a winner, as are the hearty burgers and pizzas. Quite simply, Bea rocks. | Bea, 403 W. 43rd St., 212.602.1910 for the full story, go to innewyork.com/editorsblog

The latest outpost of New York’s famed Village restaurant Il Mulino is a small, elegant space on the city’s Upper East Side, offering classic Northern Italian fare. Black-and-white photos of legendary stars hang on the white walls, lemon branches in an oversize vase decorate the bar (which serves an intoxicating limoncello), and complimentary slices of thick Parmesan are served tableside, setting the tone for the simple, fresh fare, such as sautéed salmon with buttery zucchini. | Il Mulino, 37 E. 60th st., 212.750.3270

With so much construction going on in the city, it was only a matter of time before the ubiquitous scaffolding made its way into fashion. Enter Raising the Bar, NYC-based jewelry maker W. Britt’s addition to her debut collection, Assembly Line. Using solid bars of bone, onyx, rose quartz and amazonite to mimic scaffolding rods, designer Brittany Weiss captures the art of building in bracelets (left), rings and necklaces that explore the connection between machine and nature. | Oak, 55 Nassau Ave., Brooklyn, 718.782.0521

About Time! Tissot, the Swiss watchmaker famous for serving as the “official timekeeper” at many world-renowned sporting events, brings its timepieces to its first boutique in America. The Fifth Avenue store carries the men’s Quickster line (left), along with tickers from many of its other collections, such as T-Sport, Heritage and T-Classic. | Tissot, 666 Fifth Ave., 646.669.7894

Traditional, Yet Trendy

European heritage brand Etienne Aigner debuts its ready-to-wear garment and shoe collection this fall at its SoHo flagship. While known for its accessories, the label’s new line includes reversible wool coats, neoprene and leather crop tops, classic trousers and midiskirts that draw from a perfect-for-fall palette of black, burgundy, cornflower blue, cream and red. Footwear also stars this autumn, with options like dark green zip-up booties; trendy, chunky pumps; and military-style shoes with a feminine edge. Etienne Aigner is currently undergoing a major revamp in North America, so fashionistas should look out for more changes like these from this established designer. | Etienne Aigner, 65 Greene St., 212.334.1079

A Space of Its Own

Once solely a house label for Dillard’s department store, Cremieux is now strutting its stuff at its own boutique in SoHo. The French brand of bright, preppy clothes recently opened the space as a test run for a U.S. expansion, which could include around 20 stores. The new brick-and-mortar location focuses on Cremieux’s high-end menswear (previously only available in Europe), along with its first American-made designs, including pocket squares, ties and loafers. Men can shop the collections of polos, jackets, sweaters and more, while picking up customized creations when the spot occasionally hosts its Italy-based tailor. | Cremieux, 65 Mercer St., 212.343.3838

Be My Valentino With more than 100 boutiques around the world, Valentino wants to do something extra special at its new Fifth Avenue flagship. That’s why the 20,000-square-foot space boasts the largest collection of Valentino Garavani accessories worldwide. Valentino’s ready-to-wear collections for men and women are on offer, but exclusive accent pieces, like zodiac finger clutches and “Rockrunner” sneakers, along with bags (like this calfskin leather shoulder bag, below), glasses and belts, have their own atrium, effectively creating an art installation of accessories. | Valentino, 693 Fifth Ave., 212.355.5811

Reminiscent

It’s a well-known fact that scent evokes memories. A whiff of fresh cookies, and you think of grandma’s house; a trace of coconut puts you back on the Caribbean beach of your honeymoon. But can aroma summon up someone else’s memories? Japanese designer Hanae Mori’s new namesake eau de parfum does just that, at least for her fans. Top notes of bergamot, orange blossom and jasmine represent the Japanese valleys of the fashionista’s childhood, a fruity body of apple and strawberries reflects the patterns of her costume designs for ballets and operas, and hints of toffee and vanilla pay tribute to the patisseries of Paris. With a final result that is elegant and feminine, the concoction will certainly leave a legacy of new memories for wearers in the years ahead. | Macy’s Herald Square, 151 W. 34th St., 212.695.4400 innewyork.com | september 2014 | IN New YORK

As you exit Brooklyn from the Gowanus Expressway, you are admonished by a sign of pure Brooklynese: “Fugheddaboudit.” Which basically means, if you aren’t staying here, hang it up—nothing beats Brooklyn. I can’t argue with that. For 30 years, I’ve been having a love affair with the borough I proudly call home. These days, I’m not alone. Brooklyn, now known for its hipster-cool vibe, its landmark brownstone streets, actually has tour buses cruising some of the neighborhoods. What a change from when I moved here and it was almost impossible to find a taxi willing to take me home from Manhattan. Then, there were vast stretches of neglected dwellings, abandoned warehouses and gritty urban streets that felt, well, unsafe. Today, these once-forgotten sections of NYC’s largest borough have blossomed into some of the most sought-after neighborhoods, meccas for a population of professionals, families, artists and celebrities. With each neighborhood so distinctive, why go anywhere else?

DUMBO/Brooklyn Heights Here is where the romance begins. That moment walking over the Brooklyn Bridge, across the East River, taking in one of the most glorious 360° views of New York City. Then stepping foot onto Brooklyn soil, landing in DUMBO (acronym for “Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass”), instantly experiencing a bit of dockland history as it converges with warehouse gentrification. Wandering through canyons of defunct factories, traversing cobblestoned streets, hearing the rumble of trains and feeling the breeze off the waterfront. It’s easy to imagine when Brooklyn was a major shipping hub and the fourthlargest manufacturing center in the nation. But industrial DUMBO has now given way to an enclave of artist-industry. Etsy, the online marketplace, is headquartered here. The buildings are mostly converted into creative work spaces and lofts, with avant-garde theater St. Ann’s Warehouse (29 Jay St., 718.254.8779) and a slew of im-

pressive restaurants and shops like the enchanting River Café (1 Water St., 718.522.5200) and enticing Jacques Torres Chocolates (66 Water St., 718.875.1269). In Brooklyn Heights, by contrast, time stands still. Some 600 patrician 19th-century town houses and mansions line its elegant, leafy streets. Here, in New York’s first suburb, steam ferries once shuttled commuters to Wall Street. Life in the pre-Civil War era is tangible in the Eugene Boisselet House, built in 1824 (24 Middagh St.), the oldest in the neighborhood, and Plymouth Church (75 Hicks St., 718.624.4743), which played a role in the Underground Railroad.

Downtown Brooklyn/ Fort Greene The grand dame of the neighborhood, the Brooklyn Acade-

my of Music, or BAM (30 Lafayette Ave., 718.636.4100), the oldest performing-arts center in America, is everyouthful with cutting-edge programming. For a long time, it was the only game in town to give Broadway a run for its money. Not so today. Downtown—or DOBRO—is a hotbed of sophisticated performing arts, rippling out from the BAM hub. Mark Morris Dance Group (3 Lafayette Ave., 718.624.8400), one of the country’s premier modern-dance groups, had the vision to convert a derelict building into a permanent home. Around the corner, Shakespeare meets New Wave at Theater for a New Audience (262 Ashland Pl., 866.811.4111) and BRIC Arts Media House (647 Fulton St., 718.683.5600) presents contemporary multimedia events. This flourishing art scene is also the backyard playground for a quieter neighborhood, Fort Greene. In the calm of this residential haven, all roads lead to chestnut-tree-lined Fort Greene Park. Corner cafes and restaurants, such as The General

Greene (229 DeKalb Ave., 718.222.1510), celebrate locavore ingredients. Foodies line up for the modern New American cuisine of Prospect (773 Fulton St., 718.596.6826). The Greenlight Bookstore (686 Fulton St., 718.246.0200), the heart of the literary community, hosts a roster of impressive readings. But Brooklyn pride doesn’t stop there. Weekends get busy with Brooklyn Flea (brooklynflea.com), attracting throngs of shoppers to a carnival of 150 local vendors. On the farthest edge of the ’hood, the only bigger crowd draw is Barclays Center (620 Atlantic Ave., 800.745.3000), home of the Brooklyn Nets basketball team and perhaps the 2016 Democratic Convention, if Mayor Bill de Blasio has his way.

Park Slope/Gowanus Almost as ubiquitous as the word Brooklyn are the words Park Slope, land of kale-loving, brownstone-dwelling modern families of every configuration, where busy shopping streets have a small-town feel and a sophisticated vibe. Its two main drags, Fifth Ave. and Seventh Ave., are lined with one-of-a-kind stores like clothier and jewelry designer’s eponymous Diana Kane Boutique (229B Fifth Ave., 718.638.6520), and upscale restaurants, such as the incomparable al di la Trattoria (248 Fifth Ave., 718.783.4565), serving Northern Italian fare. Nightlife pulsates with the sounds of local jazz and world music at Barbès (376 Ninth St., 347.422.0248). And influencing the tenor of the whole Slope, its crown jewel: Prospect IN New YORK | september 2014 | innewyork.com

Park, a nearly 600-acre pastoral oasis that rivals Central Park. The park’s elegant entrance at Grand Army Plaza equals those of the stateliest European cities. At the opposite side, or bottom, of the Slope (yes, there’s a real incline to the park), sits Gowanus, defined by its canal now undergoing a decade-long cleanup. If there’s a neighborhood that best exemplifies Brooklyn’s current transformation and rebirth, it’s this industrial section. The edgy domain of artists and enterprising entrepreneurs is home to some of the borough’s most unorthodox and unparalleled entertainment, such as The Bell House (149 Seventh St., 718.643.6510), a 1920s warehouse converted into a music and events venue, or the brand-new Morbid Anatomy Museum (424A Third Ave., 718.702.5937), a collection of all things related to death. Meanwhile, big businesses are wising up and starting to snap up cheap property: Whole Foods Market (214 Third St., 718.907.3622) has built its first Brooklyn store here.

Red Hook With its abundance of open sky and idyllic sunsets, piers jutting into lapping water, tugboats pushing freighters, perfectly framed views of the Statue of Liberty, and resurrected brick factories turned into lofts, Red Hook, an early-19th-century shipping depot, seems a world away from the rest of Brooklyn. Which in many ways it is, considering its limited access by public transport. But the neighborhood’s allure has always been its isolation. Living on this outer edge of Brooklyn is one reason there is such a sense of community. Here, the bumpy cobblestoned streets are home to local merchants: bakers (Baked, 359 Van Brunt St., 718.222.0345), Etro overcoat, $2,705. 720 distillers (Van Brunt Stillhouse, 6 Madison Ave., 212.317.9096 | Bay St., 718.852.6405), Brooklyn Michael Kors cable sweater, artisans (Pier Glass handblown $595.

of whom support each other’s businesses. And though plans for über-expensive condos are flying in the face of old-time residents, this part of Brooklyn maintains a romantic sense of remoteness—except when busloads of shoppers head to the neighborhood’s anomaly, Ikea (1 Beard St., 888.888.4532). Admittedly, the Ikea shuttle is a good way to get here from other parts of Brooklyn, though cars are the norm. By any mode of transport, the journey is worth it.

Prospect Heights This is where you find Brooklyn’s Big Three cultural masterpieces: idyllic Brooklyn Botanic Garden (990 Washington Ave., 718.623.7200), world-renowned Brooklyn Museum (200 Eastern Pkwy., 718.638.5000) and monumental Art Deco Brooklyn Public Library (10 Grand

Army Plz., 718.230.2100). Yet, given its grand scale, Prospect Heights is actually one of the borough’s historically most diverse neighborhoods, with Italian, Jewish, Irish and Greek immigrants in the first wave of the early 1900s, and Hasidic Jewish and Caribbean residents from the 1960s onward. Recently, second- and third-generation small-business owners and professionals have folded in with the youthful proprietors of hip stores, bars, restaurants and boutiques. Along Vanderbilt and Washington avenues, artisans feel free to perfect their single-ingredient specialties, whether it’s Empire Mayonnaise condiments (564 Vanderbilt Ave., 718.636.2069), Ample Hills Creamery ice cream (623 Vanderbilt Ave., 347.240.3926) or Brooklyn Flavors bath and body products (820 Washington Ave., 718.854.7486). Down quiet side streets, an array of restored brownstone architecture is on display, at odds with what sits at the edge of Prospect Park: the 15-story glass-box apartment building of architect Richard Meier. At the base of Eastern Parkway, the Frederick Law Olmsted-designed wide boulevard steers you past library, museum and botanic garden.

Williamsburg/Greenpoint/Bushwick There’s no denying Hipsturbia, the triplet-neighborhood outpost of Brooklyn popularized in HBO’s Girls, has a huge appeal. In the Williamsburg stretch, a genuine turf war ensues Max Mara black cady triacetate blazer, $965, and between hipsters, who claim squat’S Max Mara wide-leg pants, ters’ rights, and “flipsters,” inter$535. 813 Madison Ave., lopers from Manhattan and tour212.879.6100 | Y-3 cropped ists trying to snag some cool. Here shirt, $280. 92 Greene St., 212.966.9833 the second syllable of the word life-

style is emphasized on every corner of the main drags, Bedford Avenue and Grand Street. Boutique retail reigns supreme, with quirky shops and secondhand stores offering variations on the Williamsburg twentysomething look, like the rumpled menswear at Hollander & Lexer (103 Metropolitan Ave., 718.797.9117). It’s also a foodie’s paradise—after all, this is the birthplace of Smorgasburg (smorgasburg.com), the premier open-air market of artisanal Brooklyn food vendors. And there is a vibrant music scene, too, from big-name acts to local bands who gig at the Music Hall of Williamsburg (66 N. Sixth St., 718.486.5400). But, disdaining trends, there are other reasons to head all this way, including the extensive McCarren Park, (776 Lorimer St., 718.218.2380), with its seasonal swimming pool and iceskating rink, outdoor concerts and films. In the late after-

noon, it has a suburban feel, with kids throwing balls and dog-walkers out for a stroll. The park is proudly shared with just-ahead-of-the-curve Greenpoint, where restaurants and music venues are popping up along the waterfront (Newtown Creek is known as one of the city’s major industrial waterways, an estuary divide between Brooklyn and Queens). With its treasured Manhattan views, change is coming quickly to this piece of Brooklyn: There are plans for a mini-city of residential towers. Called New York’s “Little Poland,” Greenpoint keeps its old-world heritage alive, but with an up-and-coming vibe exhibited by wee-hours-of-the-morning nightlife. And with Tina Fey’s endorsement of the doughnuts at Peter Pan Donut & Pastry Shop (727 Manhattan Ave., 718.389.3676), the old-fashioned aspects are positively sexy. Blocks away, the dichotomy shows in the very upscale and vibrant Ramona (113 Franklin St., 347.227.8164), where master mixologists concoct the latest in craft cocktails. A few stops out on the L subway line will land you in Bushwick, the rough-and-tumble little brother to the previous two ’hoods. A thriving art scene is apparent in the fantastical graffiti murals that dot an otherwise gritty, industrial landscape. The latest transformation of the gentrification wave, Bushwick’s newly acquired status is proof of how quickly things are changing. Building on its history of being one of the most important industrial centers of the nation, Brooklyn is revolutionizing the spirit of commerce with a design-driven culture and entrepreneurial gentrifiers sharing their dream of a new kind of urban life. Call it hip. Call it cool. Call it visionary. I call it home. IN New YORK | september 2014 | innewyork.com

the gentleman needs no occasion to dress up. He’s always in his best, freshly pressed and impeccably groomed. What else would you expect from a fellow who fancies his alter ego to be Cary Grant?

the schmoozer was born to socialize and considers any introduction not made to be an opportunity lost. Being the center of attention is what he lives for. He could be a turnoff … if he weren’t so smooth.

the rebel does it his way or the highway. His life wouldn’t be worth living, if it weren’t for rock, cigarettes and live shows. Jamming at concerts is, to him, something of an art. Need a ride? His Harley’s out front.

For him, it‘s the King Cole Bar & Salon, where old-world aesthetics meet contemporary flair. Chandeliers hang in a palatial lounge, while the bar sports an edgy, leopard-print carpet— and that’s just the mix our gentleman likes. His jacket’s glen-plaid pattern is a nod to tradition, but the colorful stripes and paisley accent collar speak to a hidden, wilder side. Word is that the Bloody Mary was born here in 1934 and, at cocktail hour, the debonair gent can be spotted, drink in hand, sipping any of the six varieties served. Put away your wallet: Cocktails are on him. | King Cole Bar & Salon, St. Regis New York, 2 E. 55th St., 212.339.6857

For the schmoozer, it’s cocktails and socializing at the swanky James New York Hotel bar. Situated at the intersection of SoHo and TriBeCa, two of Manhattan’s most stylish neighborhoods, its rooftop cocktail pad, JIMMY, reflects as much with its modular furniture, glazed tile walls and working fireplace. Up 18 stories, it’s a see-and-be-seen kind of scene. The schmoozer’s extroverted nature compels him to woo admirers, and the velvety paisley of his blazer does the trick. After all, it’s easy to start a conversation when everyone’s just dying to reach out and stroke your jacket. Its jazzed-up lapel, a casual play on the formal tuxedo, is suggestive of grand social affairs. There’s a dynamite view here, but the schmoozer’s eyes are fixed on the guests. Circling the central bar (great for crowd flow), he orders a Third Base (rum, cherry liqueur, lime, brandied cherry), hoping to reach it after some fireside flirting. | JIMMY at The James New York, 15 Thompson St., rooftop, 212.201.9118

For the rebel, there’s nothing more liberating than letting loose, grabbing a well whiskey and ginger ale, and dancing like the sun will never rise again in a jam-packed room as a sweaty postpunk band screams angsty lyrics onstage. The rebel knows this kind of action isn’t for everyone, which is precisely why he hits Mercury Lounge. If you can’t take the bass, step away from the speakers. This bar/concert hub hybrid is known as a launching pad for New York rockers who’ve hit it big in the past decade or so—from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs to Interpol to The Strokes—so the rebel makes sure never to miss the next big act. As The Strokes sing, “You only live once.” Since he’s only got one go at it, he’s going to live it up, and look good doing it. Yeah, it may be stiflingly hot on the 250-capacity dance floor, but don’t expect the rebel to take off his cropped leather jacket or loosen the leather neck of his black cotton shirt. Hey, we all suffer for fashion, right? | Mercury Lounge, 217 E. Houston St., 212.260.4700

the retro revivalist always feels like she belongs to another era, longing for the costumes of yesteryear. Modernity bores her, but an antiques warehouse or vintage boutique? She’s waxing nostalgic.

the girl next door doesn’t need to put up a fancy front: She’s too secure—and practical—for that. Keeping it casual and comfy, she’s not about outward appearance, but about what lies inside.

the elusive siren disdains the predictable and never reveals her cards. She’ll surprise you—in good ways (usually). Just when you think you’ve got her pegged, she hits you with the unexpected. And you love it.

New York is filled with classic venues that transcend time and tastes, but recently opened lounge and restaurant Dear Irving, tucked away among the tree-lined streets of the Gramercy Park neighborhood, tries its hand at actual time travel (or as close as anyone can get to it). Each intricately designed room in the house serves as a portal into another era. It’s the retro revivalist’s dream. Stepping into the 1920s-style, Art Deco-accented lounge (straight out of The Great Gatsby), she couldn’t be dressed more appropriately: The long tassels of her blue flapper-esque dress swaying in tandem with the crystal-beaded curtains surrounding each leather banquette. From there, it’s a foray into 18th-century France or a visit to the United States, circa 1960, with midcentury-modern furnishings and mounted JFK quotes.The retro revivalist summons a drink (via buttons on the wall) and throws back a Gibson, popular among urbanites in the 1950s (gin, vermouth, pickled onion), as the clock turns backward. | Dear Irving, 15 Irving Pl., no phone

As the saying goes, what you’re searching for is in the last place you’d think to look. If expertly crafted cocktails (minus crowds) are your target, try The Garret—an insider’s neighborhood bar hiding above a West Village Five Guys burger joint. A snobbish tippler might sneer at the smell of frying patties and peanut shells underfoot, but not the girl next door. She knows how to find the bar, making her way up an unmarked staircase in the back, her modest neckline offset by a playful hemline. She moves naturally, her versatile, laser-cut suede minidress able to transition with ease between the fast-food ground floor and the bohemian-chic upper lounge. After getting a buzz from the well-curated list of inventive cocktails (try Flowers in the Attic: sauvignon blanc, Amaro Montenegro, prosecco, lemon bitters), the girl next door knows just how to steady herself: a bacon cheeseburger from the handy restaurant below. And, even in suede, she’s not afraid of a little ketchup spill. | The Garret, 296 Bleecker St., 2nd fl., 212.675.6157

Anyone strutting down Essex St. may look at a slightly dingy pawnshop called Beauty & Essex and consider hocking a great-aunt’s old watch or picking up a used guitar. But step inside at cocktail time (in “upscale casual” attire, per dress code—as if the siren would wear anything less) and a different experience awaits. This storefront holds a secret. The back wall of the store masks a discreet door that opens to a luxe, modern restaurant and den of drink. The transition takes you off guard, which is just how the siren likes her prey. She glides up the grand staircase, the sequined sleeves of her little black dress glittering, and sits in a plush armchair in the second-floor lounge. You still can’t read her—if only she were as transparent as the sheer yoke on her garment. The dramatic chandelier above distracts you for a moment, and suddenly she’s gone—off to the ladies’ room, where sparkling rosé is served on the house (sorry, gents, none for you). | Beauty & Essex, 146 Essex St., 212.614.0146

Fashion-Focused Fall

There are tons of options when it comes to NYC shopping—from high-end retailers to intimate boutiques. Marco De Los Rios, concierge at W New York, shares his recommendations for fashion and beyond. When men and women come to you asking about great stores for fashion-forward apparel, where do you send them? I always recommend starting at the Madison Avenue stores, like Ralph Lauren, Hermès, Roberto Cavalli, Alexander McQueen, Tom Ford and Barneys New York. Not too far away is Bloomingdale’s, which has many different brands. The Shops at Columbus Circle also have great options. Bergdorf Goodman, an institution of fashion, is a must when you’re in New York. The store The Shops at Columbus Circle

What about a classic NYC dining experience? Union Square Cafe never gets old, especially now that it will be moving to a new location (in 2015). Le Bernardin is another favorite—Chef Eric Ripert’s still got it. The Sea Fire Grill is a combination of outstanding food and service—paired with a very good wine selection.

brooklyn beat In and Around red hook by Red Hook, one of my favorite neighborhoods in the city, doesn’t show up on a lot of tourist itineraries. This sleepy residential community on the water is basically the opposite of Times Square—there is no Starbucks here, and the closest subway stop is almost a mile away. But once there, you can, among other things, spend a very pleasant hour tasting wine from Long Island and upstate New York vineyards at Red Hook Winery (left, 175 Van Dyke St., 347.689.2432) or take a tour of Cacao Prieto (218 Conover St., 347.225.0130), a visually stunning distillery-chocolatier. Bottom line: It takes some extra effort to get to Red Hook, but it’s worth it.

In keeping with the New England vibe of Red Hook, you can opt for one of the best lobster rolls you’ll find outside Down East Maine at Red Hook Lobster Pound (284 Van Brunt St., 718.858.7650). There are also great crabs to be had at Brooklyn Crab (below), a massive, multilevel seafood shack that seems to have been beamed in from Florida and has showstopping views of the water. | Brooklyn Crab, 24 Reed St., 718.643.2722

Brownie Heaven Steve’s Authentic Key Lime Pies (185 Van Dyke St., 718.858.5333), with their pale yellow filling, will make you question what everyone else is passing off as Key lime pies. Don’t overdo it, though, because you can’t leave Red Hook without trying a salted caramel brownie from Baked (above). | Baked, 359 Van Brunt St., 718.222.0345

There are a few storefronts on Van Brunt Street worth a peek. Foxy & Winston (392 Van Brunt St., 718.928.4855) has twee baby presents and letterpress cards, and the Brooklyn Slate Company sells slate cheeseboards that make good souvenirs (305 Van Brunt St., 877.648.8333). Finally, Erie Basin has a meticulously curated selection of unique vintage jewelry, such as this Art Noveau peridot and pearl enamel necklace (above). | Erie Basin, 388 Van Brunt St., 718.554.6147
