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. Now that we are officially in the warmweather months, it’s a perfect time to take a walk along The High Line—a 1.45-mile-long elevated park created from an abandoned spur of the New York Central Railroad, and running from Gansevoort St. to W. 34th St., btw 10th & 12th aves. Now one of the city’s most beloved attractions, it’s a very special way to spend an hour or so.

While May has been designated as the month to pay tribute to mothers, I extend the idea to females in general and one female in particular, a perfect opportunity to treat a special friend to a (somewhat) out-of-town adventure. We meet mid-morning, under the famed clock in the heart of Grand Central Terminal at 42nd St. & Park Ave. I arrive early, first to pick up a token of affection, a package of elizabethW’s soothing bath salts from one of my favorite city gift emporiums, Cursive New York, also in the terminal, and then to purchase two tickets on Metro North Railroad to the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx. The 23-minute ride to the Bronx brings us to the Garden’s gorgeous grounds, full of just-in-bloom flowers and exotic plants. We visit the magnificent Enid A. Haupt Conservatory; step into the Ross Gallery to view photographer Larry Lederman’s beautiful exhibition, “Celebrating The New York Botanical Garden: 125 Years;” and then grab some quality lunch at the casual Pine Tree Café in the visitor center, where the panini are yummy. Back at the terminal, we visit Grand Central’s classiest bar, The Campbell Apartment. We settle into a plush sofa. I order a flute of rosé Cava, my friend orders Prohibition Punch (passion-fruit juices, Appleton Estate V/X rum, Moët & Chandon Champagne) and we toast to our grand getaway.

THEATER

TONY TIME

The Broadway awards season moves into high gear with the announcement of the 2016 Tony Award nominations on May 3. The Tony is the Oscar of live theater. And even though Where went to press before nominations were revealed, that hasn’t stopped me from gazing into my crystal ball and forecasting the nominees (and which shows, in my opinion, deserve recognition). Awards will be handed out on June 12 at the Beacon Theatre—that’s more than a month to catch as many nominated plays and musicals as you can.FRANCIS LEWIS

BEST PLAY Will be nominated: “Blackbird,” “Eclipsed,” “The Father” and “The Humans” My thoughts: “The Humans” by Stephen Karam quietly but devastatingly examines three generations of an American family as they sit down to Thanksgiving dinner in NYC. Dementia, physical illness, marital infidelity and thwarted ambitions: Karam finds the universal in the everyday. BEST MUSICAL Will be nominated: “American Psycho,” “Hamilton,” “School of Rock” and “Waitress” My thoughts: “Hamilton” has the buzz, but outsider “Bright Star” merits attention for its rousing bluegrass score, cathartic central love story and incandescent leading lady, Carmel Cusack, in her Broadway debut. The second act leaves Caption 7 pt audiences awash in tears.

BEST REVIVAL OF A PLAY Will be nominated: “The Crucible,” “Fully Committed,” “Long Day’s Journey Into Night” and “A View From the Bridge” My thoughts: Visionary director Ivo van Hove strips bare two Arthur Miller classics, “A View From the Bridge” and “The Crucible,” leaving Miller’s timeless words to resonate as never before. Thrilling theater. BEST REVIVAL OF A MUSICAL Will be nominated: “The Color Purple,” “Fiddler on the Roof,” “She Loves Me” and “Shuffle Along” My thoughts: “Fiddler on the Roof,” under Bartlett Sher’s sensitive direction, is a total revelation, while the Roundabout Theatre Company’s “She Loves Me” is hands down the most deliciously romantic show in town. This is a tough category to call. My solution? Split the award.

The Upper East Side repair shop has a salesroom displaying barometers and antique to modern clocks, gently ticking along with softly whirring parts, many chiming in unison. 218 E. 82nd St., 212.758.2260, suttonclocks.com CW Pencil Enterprise They may be old-school, but they are still adored: Colorful rows of artisanal pencils fill the shelves at CW Pencil Enterprise, opened by Caroline Weaver on the Lower East Side in 2014. Her obsession with pencils began when she got her first box of Caran d’Ache color pencils at about age 6. She stocks those as well as John Steinbeck’s favorite type, Blackwing 602, scented pencils and pencil accessories. As a mark of dedication, the 25-year-old has a pencil tattoo on her left arm and a singular job title: Chief Pencil Lady. 100A Forsyth St., 917.734.8117, cwpencils.com w w w.wh e re t rave le r.c o m

Since joining American Ballet Theatre (p. 28) in 2001, she has moved up through the company’s ranks, from member of the corps de ballet to Soloist to Principal Dancer. On May 18 and 19 at the Metropolitan Opera House, she dances a signature role, the Firebird (left) in “Firebird,” choreographed by Alexei Ratmansky to Igor Stravinsky’s revolutionary score.

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

Adventurers

Nightlife Lovers

As one diner simply stated on tripadvisor.com, (1) Brushstroke is “worthy of its Michelin star.” He’s not alone in his feeling about the David Bouley-owned, Japanese destination restaurant in TriBeCa. From Japanese to Jewish delicacies: New York’s most famous deli, the 128-year-old (2) Katz’s Delicatessen is still delivering its insanely generous, house-cured pastrami and corned beef sandwiches. No wonder you’ll want to have what she’s having! At (3) Miss Lily’s 7A Cafe, it’s hard not to be charmed by the colorful beach-shack decor and inventive Caribbean fare.

You will fly through the air with (hopefully) the greatest of ease after your lesson at (1) Trapeze School New York. Why not check out a beginner’s class, which includes learning a basic knee hang and swing across a net. If you’d rather climb then fly, we’ve got that covered, too: (2) Brooklyn Boulders, in the Gowanus neighborhood of Brooklyn, offers complimentary climbing assessments at its dedicated rock-climbing facility. And, before you leave town, we know you’ll want to say you rode the historic Cyclone roller coaster in 3) Coney Island.

In the city of we’ve-got-it-all, why not a circus-themed bar like (1) Bar Cyrk, where you can admire the 300-bulb antique circus marquee and sip on imaginative cocktails. If it’s a panoramic view you’re after in the heart of Rockefeller Center, then you’ll want to meet for a drink at (2) SixtyFive, the bar next to New York’s legendary Rainbow Room. Finally, for a bit of game-playing while sipping your gin and tonic, check out (3) SPiN New York, co-owned by actress Susan Sarandon, and offering 17 ping-pong tables and a fullservice bar.
