The Essential New York It was 80 years ago that Where magazine was launched, and to celebrate this fact, each month in 2016, I will be picking a favorite NYC venue to spend 80 minutes in. This month, I chose three must-see exhibits from the American Museum of Natural History. Museums in this city run the gamut from quirky to palatial—and, as you will note, several made the cut in our 20 Favorite Places in NYC story (starting on page 12). The Museum of Natural History, though, is in a class by itself, a world-renowned palace of marvels. Take a look.

This 21,000-pound fiberglass blue whale is a model of an actual female whale found off the southern tip of South America in 1925. Suspended in the center of the Milstein Hall of Ocean Life, this elegant, gigantic mammal appears to be in the middle of a deep dive.

And, speaking of gigantic, the museum’s latest acquisition, the 70-ton, 122-foot-long cast of a titanosaur on the fourth floor, is a sight to behold, too long to completely fit inside the gallery. The discovery of this plant-eating dinosaur is so new that it has not even been formally

Finally, in the Akeley Hall of African Mammals (named after explorer Carl Akeley, who conceived of the hall in 1909), visitors are greeted by a massive, freestanding group of eight African elephants, surrounded by 28 vivid habitat dioramas depicting African wildlife.

From elder statesman “The Phantom of the Opera” to newbie “Hamilton,” musicals now playing on Broadway have something for everyone. But the tuner at the head of the class

is “School of Rock.” This hit kicks it from the heart. The kid actor/musicians amaze with their talent, while Alex Brightman as their teacher (right) is No. 1 with a bullet. Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote the music and Julian (“Downton Abbey”) Fellowes the book, so the show’s got pedigree as well as plenty of smarts.

Getting Around New York by Bus and Subway MTA New York City Transit subways connect four of the city’s five boroughs. Blue and white buses run in all five boroughs. Subways run 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Bus or subway questions? Check out www.mta.info or call 718.330.1234. ABOUT SUBWAYS NYC Transit’s subway system operates 24 lines designated by either a route number or letter. Serving 469 stations along 660.75 miles of track, approximately 6,400 air-conditioned subway cars will take you to almost anywhere in the city faster than a taxi and at a fraction of the cost. Subways run every 2-to-5 minutes during rush hours, 10-to-15 minutes during the day and about every 20 minutes between midnight and 5 am. Signs above the platform edge tell you which trains stop there and the direction of travel. Signs on the front of the train identify the route. Subway maps are hung at stations and in every subway car. Subway station entrances display the routes that stop there; some entrances only provide service in one direction (for example, uptown only or downtown only), so be sure you check before you pay. Station booth agents can answer questions and sell MetroCard, NYC Transit’s electronic farecard. Subway stations also have MetroCard vending machines. They accept credit/debit cards or cash. ABOUT BUSES Approximately 5,900 air-conditioned buses provide reliable service on over 300 routes to almost anywhere in the city. Bus stops are located about every two blocks on street corners and are marked by a sign pole with a bus emblem and route number. While some buses run 24 hours a day, most operate between 5 am and 2 am. Bus schedules and route maps are posted on most bus stops. All buses are equipped with wheelchair accessible lifts. Check the sign on the front of the bus. If you’re not sure it’s the bus you want, ask the bus operator. ABOUT FARES The base subway and local bus fare is $2.75 per ride, payable by MetroCard. Buses also accept exact change (but no dollar bills or pennies). METROCARD You can buy MetroCards at any subway station booth. MetroCards are also available at MetroCard vending machines, which are found in many subway stations and at neighborhood stores. Look for the MetroCard sign in store windows or visit www .mta.info/metrocard for a store near you. There are two kinds of MetroCards: 1) Unlimited Ride—$31 for seven consecutive days and $116.50 for 30 consecutive days. 2) Pay-Per-Ride—The bonus for purchasing multiple rides is 11 percent.

New York Your Way UNIQUE TRAVEL RECOMMENDATIONS, FIT TO MATCH YOUR PERSONAL STYLE.

Foodies

History Buffs

Nightlife Lovers

For the finest classic French food, you’ll need to make a reservation at (1) Daniel, whose culinary kudos (one of only 10 restaurants in NYC this year to earn two stars from Michelin) are too numerous to mention. To indulge in haute American cuisine with extraordinary service, then (2) Gramercy Tavern it is, the crown jewel in Danny Meyer’s restaurant kingdom. And if it’s the perfect porterhouse you crave, head over to Williamsburg, Brooklyn, for the rustic and legendary (3) Peter Luger experience (bring cash, check or debit card).

Cool stuff about (1) Fraunces Tavern Museum includes the room where General George Washington bade farewell to his officers in 1783. Plus, the c. 1719 building also houses, besides a restaurant, several popular bars on the ground floor for visitors to enjoy. On a much more somber note, the (2) National September 11 Memorial & Museum encapsulates moments and memorabilia from the city’s greatest day of heartache. For Broadway geeks, (3) Sardi’s is a must, with its celebrity caricatures and a history of catering to Broadway legends for 90 years.

Love a good, deep belly laugh to take you through the night? The (1) Gotham Comedy Club keeps audiences roaring with entertainers who have included Jerry Seinfeld and Louis CK. A legendary nightlife experience can be had at (2) Bemelmans Bar in the Carlyle Hotel, where murals by Ludwig Bemelmans (the creator of the ”Madeline” book series) decorate the walls and a jazz trio plays nightly. (3) Sixtyfive, across from the Rainbow Room at 30 Rockefeller Plaza, is arguably the most romantic spot for a nightcap, with views that leave you in awe.
