50 TIPS FOR FOODIES, FAMILIES AND THRILL-SEEKERS

COVER PROMOTION A “gloriously romantic take on the MGM classic musical” is how one of our very own theater writers described “An American in Paris,” winner of four Tony Awards, including Best Choreography. The story of a young American soldier who falls in love with a mysterious French girl redefines Broadway charm and is undoubtedly a must-see.

Sure, any good guidebook can give you a basic city itinerary: the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island National Museum of Immigration (above), the Empire State Building, yada, yada, yada. But what you won’t find are the little nuggets of trivia we scoped out for you to make these iconic sites all the more interesting. Do you know why, for example, you should look up at the top of the columns on the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s facade before walking in? Well, we do—and we’re gonna tell you.

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 suggesting a favorite NYC venue to enjoy 80 minutes in. This month, your (roughly) 80 minutes can be well spent at Rockefeller Center, conceived more than 100 years ago by John D. Rockefeller Jr. as a “city within a city.” The 75-minute tour of the center includes learning about the Atlas and Prometheus statues, José María Sert”s “Time” mural and more. One thoughtful note: Rockefeller Center, built during the worst years of the Great Depression of the 1930s, gainfully employed some 40,000 people for nine years.

John D. Rockefeller Jr., who spent the better part of his adult life in philanthropy, will always be best known for his unprecedented construction of a complex of office buildings.

The Rockefeller Center project started in 1930: By 1939, the last rivet was drilled in. In 1934,

the 18 foot, 8-ton gilded bronze sculpture of Prometheus, located above the Lower Plaza, was installed. Considered the most photographed monumental sculpture in NYC, it was conceived

by Paul Manship, who was fascinated with mythological figures.

Lawrie and Rene Paul Chambellan’s sculpture of the Greek titan Atlas holding up the world was placed in front of Rockefeller Center. Curious fact: When Atlas was unveiled in 1937, two years before the start of World War ll in Europe, some people initially protested that it bore too much of a resemblance to Italian dictator Benito Mussolini.

While little is known about who designed them, each of the seven elaborate works features the letters “AE”—a possible clue to their origins.

9 ELLIS ISLAND Ellis Island was a place of new beginnings for millions of immigrants in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but it was also the end of the road for others: Convicted pirates were hanged there in the early 1800s.

AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY In 1964, the Star of India was the star of a headline-making jewel theft when cat burglars broke into the museum and snatched the world’s largest blue sapphire. The batteries on the gem’s alarm were dead. When recovered, the Star was again put on display, its security much improved.

Everyone is familiar with the cliché “have fun while learning!” but at the (1) National Museum of Mathematics you really can, with cool exhibits like Hyper Hyperboloid (a cylindrical chamber). Enjoy plenty of “aw, so cute!” moments with Western Lowland gorillas and 4,000 other species at the (2) Bronx Zoo, where the population includes snow leopards, lemurs and American bison. (3) Chelsea Piers, quite literally, is onestop shopping when it comes to activities for the whole brood, from a fairway for momma and papa bear golfers to rock climbing for all.

The city’s hippest borough boasts one spectacular park. At (1) Prospect Park in Brooklyn, you can bike (rentals available), boat, bird-watch, play basketball: And that’s just the Bs. A museum, Monument Park, a grand steak house—and oh, yes, some great baseball, courtesy of the Bronx Bombers: All can be found at (2) Yankee Stadium. (3) The South Street Seaport, a designated Historic District, includes sailing ships, some of the city’s oldest architecture and Pier 17, devastated by Hurricane Sandy but in the process of enormous renovation.

Yes, you are in Manhattan, but at (1) Estiatorio Milos, gold-sponged walls, huge white umbrellas and freshly caught fish displays will make you feel like you are at a Mediterranean resort. If you are serious about dining, you can’t miss out on a meal at (1) Bâtard, which was annointed Best New Restaurant from the James Beard Foundation when it opened two years ago. Cozy banquettes, celebrity spottings and great French fare help (3) Raoul’s remain, as it has been for the past 40 years, a destination bistro with what many say is the finest steak au poivre in town.
