Once the oh-so precious summer months dewheretraveler.com/NYtours scend in New York, I find working indoors with a bad climate-control system almost impossible. So I make up for it by getting out as much as I can. I even switch up my go-to, midday lunch haunt, walking an extra two blocks to another deli so that I can luxuriate in the strong sun and the fact that I don’t have to wear pantyhose. Below are three other places to stroll, eat, drink or just be, without walls. It’s summertime, and the living is outdoorsy. For my full New York itinerary, go to wheretraveler.com. TRIP PLANNER

>> WALK WITH A VIEW I have a friend who lives in a building on the Lower East Side off the FDR Drive, and in the summer I like to walk the East River Esplanade for a visit. If I am feeling ambitious, I start at around 30th St., angling in between the joggers and cyclists: As I get closer, this view of the Brooklyn Bridge is awfully sweet.

>> LUNCH ‘N’ ART Not only can you enjoy a burger at the justreopened Shake Shack in Madison Square Park (right near the Where offices!), but this month (and through this coming winter) you can also view Fata Morgana by Teresita Fernández, a 500-foot-long golden metal sculpture that creates canopies above the park’s pathways.

where in the world

>> HAPPY HOUR VISTA This past spring, SixtyFive, the cocktail lounge adjacent to the Rainbow Room opened, and with it came outdoor drinking and nibbling from arguably the city’s most romantic outdoor bar. I was lucky enough to go to the opening party, where the martinis were ice-cold and the potato chips with truffles were crazy good.

Chicken fingers or spaghetti and meatballs? Mikey, your little one, might love them, but they aren’t your first choices, especially when dining out in New York City. Restaurants here are pretty savvy, and they know you enjoy eating with your kids. Some of the very buzziest even offer dedicated kids’ menus that are truly inventive. —Meryl D. Pearlstein

Time to Dine!

Don Antonio by Starita Don Antonio fires up a Neapolitan pizza that’s distinctively fluff y and filling. Quickly cooked, pies come out of the domeshaped, wood-fired oven at lightning speed—a real kid-pleaser. For really small tykes, the restaurant’s signature Montanara Starita pizza is served as a fried dough puff called a Montanarine, perfect for picking up by little hands. For dessert, the Nutella and lightly fried dough strips are pure kid heaven. 309 W. 50th St., 646.719.1043 Atlantic Grill Atlantic Grill knows that kids can be fussy eaters when it comes to seafood. The kid-oriented twists on sushi rolls (peanut butter and jelly, and avocado cucumber) banish any fish resistance by creating dishes that are somewhat familiar and fun. Older kids can sip a mocktail and tuck into another finger favorite, grilled shrimp skewers. For cultured children attending a performance at Lincoln Center, the restaurant’s second outpost is equally welcoming. 1341 Third Ave., 212.988.9200 SUSHISAMBA

It’s easy to introduce kids to the flavors of South

America when they get their own chopsticks and a menu with foods that are as fun to look at as they are to eat. The baby bento box comes with grilled chicken, steak or salmon; purple potato mash; a veggie roll; and fruit. The sweetish coco leite, made with

mac ‘n’ cheese, miniFrench toast, and pizza margherita—in addition to shareable portions of its steak and chicken dishes. Bringing the kids up on a good porterhouse or sirloin is an easy graduation from the usual hamburger, especially when cut into bite-size pieces by the attentive staff. 1278 Third Ave., 212.772.0404 Dos Caminos The Midtown restaurant’s make-your-own chicken or steak tacos will thrill budding master chefs while also encouraging them to “play” with their food. Adding a welcome

Kiddie-friendly menu choices at SUSHISAMBA

coconut milk, pineapple and mango juice, is a fave. And no kid can resist the squishy Japanese mochi dessert: ice-cream bonbons sprinkled with candy confetti. 87 Seventh Ave., 212.691.7885 TBAR TBar offers a kid-centric menu of favorites—like

dose of vegetables (broccoli and plum tomatoes) to a crispy flour tortilla covered with melted cheese, the pizza Mexicano is a delight for parents as well. In the warmer months, the SoHo location sets up an ice-pop and Mexican ice-cream stand outdoors. 825 Third Ave., 212.336.5400

Blue Smoke Flatiron’s Blue Smoke covers the BBQ bases for kids, teaching them that barbecue doesn’t just mean hot dogs and burgers. In restaurant parlance, BBQ is a type of preparation, using smoky and tangy sauces or rubs to create a distinctive flavor. Since kids love eating with their hands, a plate of messy baby back ribs is an instant hit. The kids-only menu offers other finger-friendly ‘cue as well, like smoked chicken breasts, and sweet treats including double chocolate brownies. The $11 kids’ deal comes with a main course, a side, dessert and a beverage. We recommend wearing dark clothing or even a bib—that goes for adults, too! 116 E. 27th St., 212.447.7733 Sugar and Plumm It may require a bit of coercion to move your kids past the candy and ice cream shop at the entrance to Sugar and Plumm, but the special kids’ dinner menu is just as enticing at this Upper West Side boutique bistro. While miniature portions of adult entrées can always be ordered, it’s the youngeroriented specialties that are the true winners. Try the mini-corn dogs and Angus beef Plumm sliders, just the right size for kids and served with stringcut fries and a pickle. A kids’ “combo” meal adds a beverage and a scoop of ice cream. After a wellbehaved evening among grown-ups, a reward from the candy counter is justly deserved. 377 Amsterdam Ave., 212.787.8778 w w w.wh e re t rave le r.c o m

THE GUIDE

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 468 stations along 660 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 a.m. 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 a.m. and 2 a.m. 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.

[WHERE INSIDE]

New York blocks, Irish blocks, the Arab deli, the Chinese takeout place, the first Dominican bodega, and the remnants of what was once a big Polish neighborhood. One block would look as bombedout as the South Bronx and the next would look as clean and affluent as … Park Slope today. My block was Puerto Rican on one corner, black on the other, and Irish, Italian and Jewish in the middle. From kindergarten through high school, we had every kind of kid in my house all the time. So I should be the only person in the country allowed to talk about race.

MY PERFECT DAY Daytime Wake up. Go to George’s on Greenwich St., eat and talk to Billy, the owner, about how there is no place like George’s. Walk over to Aroma Espresso on Church St., drink tea, go on Twitter and try to think of the most aggravating things to say. Next, Equinox gym: Bust out 215-pound weights like they’re nerf weights, strut out. Take the E train to the Village and have a slice at Joe’s Pizza.

[Comedian]

Former Saturday Night Live “Weekend Update” host and comedian Colin Quinn writes about the skewed world of the politically correct in The Coloring Book (Grand Central Publishing). Below are some excerpts from the just-published book, which was written, says Quinn, because “here’s what the political correctness doesn’t see: the absurdity and beauty of New York in all its crazy glory.” Growing up in Brooklyn: Today it may look like a Swiss Village, but Park Slope, Brooklyn, in the 1970s was maybe the most mixed—integrated, they called it—neighborhood in the history of the world. Park Slope in the seventies was magical in a weird way. It was a special place to grow up. Everyone felt it, except the murder victims. I would walk home from Intermediate School 88, past Puerto Rican blocks, black blocks, Italian

Go over to the Comedy Cellar and have what are possibly the best wings in the world.

person. The merchant. The old man at the bar. The guy selling pretzels. What made the New York pretzel the best was the sarcastic attitude of the guy selling it. On the beauty of Queens, etc.: Different cultures are different. If you go to Queens, you can see restaurant signs with pictures of exotic fish with human faces, flamingos fighting over a burrito on Roosevelt Avenue, roasted guinea pigs hanging on a clothesline in Elmhurst, a mongoose spitting from a fire escape. That’s what I want to talk about.

On politically correct language: I’m tired of humorless activist people decreeing that we only use these words and never those … in case we say the wrong thing and “trigger” someone. Supposedly nonjudgmental judgmentalism used to be what Southern California was for, but now it’s encroaching even here in New York—where people are supposed to come to judge things. New Yorkers used to be straight shooters and loudmouths. They spoke their mind. The opinionated cabbie. The construction workers. The counter-
