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. Frankly, I don’t think there is a museum more custom-tailored for an 80-minute visit than the Museum at FIT (the Fashion Institute of Technology). The intimate, two-gallery museum housed in this New York State college offers rotating exhibits with themes connected to fashion history and pop culture. Through Nov. 19, you can see “Uniformity,” a quirky but fascinating look at how uniforms, from janitorial to military, have been used, modified and integrated into society.

I doubt the player who wore this 1920 football uniform (above, left) ever would have guessed that it would become inspiration for high fashion (Geoffrey Beene‘s 1967 silk-and-sequin football dress, above, right). What “Uniformity” most powerfully illustrates is that the concept

of the uniform, while intended to symbolize unity and discipline (exemplified by the U.S. Naval Reserve W.A.V.E.S. officer dress uniform, 1942, above), also became fodder for design trends that continue to this day. From the crisp flightattendant dress to the

Meet the designers behind some of New York’s coolest brands of clothing and accessories you won’t find anywhere else. —BY JONI SWEET nameTimeless Atsakehermillinery, Karema Deodato Almeida creates statement-making hats (like the Olympia Cloche, above) that reflect on a time when New Yorkers wouldn’t step foot outside with their heads uncovered. “It’s a hand-sculpted felt cloche that can be worn three different ways when turned around,” says the designer. “It’s striking in its detail, while very wearable at the same time.” The mustard-hued cloche is one of more than 30 retro hats in her collection. karemadeodato.com or Sugar Hill Market (259 W. 132nd St.)

ly Hilgart (left) disrupts fashion industry traditions with her alternative brand Vaute Couture. You won’t find feathers and fur in her men’s and women’s winter coats—rather, she uses high-tech textiles to keep wearers snug and save animals in the process. It’s easy to identify a Vaute women’s coat when you learn its defining characteristics: popping colors (pastel pink, emerald and buttercup are favorites), striking silhouettes (a hooded cape-coat that Little Red Riding Hood would wear on the runway) and retro elements (asymmetrical zippers straight out of the 1980s). The brand also features made-in-NYC accessories and apparel (like the vegan satin gown, below), which all carry Vaute’s playful, elegant aesthetic. “Vaute’s look is based in a 1950s elegance, inspired by Audrey Hepburn and ballet class, but mixed with whatever is inspiring me that season,” says Hilgart, who chose to build her business in New York after finding a sense of home within the local vegan community. vautecouture.com or 114 Stanton St.

Rybakoff’s collections Artsy Cynthia make it a breeze to layer jewelry. “My style is classic with a twist of Downtown chic,” says the New York native. “It can range from geometric Art Deco to organic boho styling.” Shoppers love her simple, stackable rings in various band widths and metals (including rose gold), paired with minimalist stud earrings and bracelets to create an effortlessly polished look. She also creates artistic pieces, like a handmade bauble wrap (left), which can be worn as a bracelet or a necklace. cynthia rybakoff.com or Artists & Fleas (88 10th Ave.)

Dapper The It’s brimming with vintage typewriters, grooming supplies, engraved flasks and Ivy League memorabilia that set the tone for the brand’s handsome men’s apparel and accessories. “We loved a classic aesthetic, and we were collectors of vintage photos of well-dressed men from the early 1900s,” says Matt Fox (above, left) on why he started the brand as a side project with his husband, Enrique Crame III (above, right), in 2008. The duo hawked their “dandy inspired” neckwear, pocket squares, suspenders, sock garters, cuff links, tie bars and other accessories online and at pop-ups around the city before opening their brick-and-mortar shop in Hell’s Kitchen in November 2012. From floralprinted belts and polka-dot suspenders to gold dog tie pins and crocheted flower boutonnieres, every made-in-NYC item adds flair to a man’s outfit without looking over-the-top. fineanddandyshop.com or 445 W. 49th St. w w w.wh e re t rave le r.c o m

Erica Weiner founded her jewelry business in Meaningful When 2005, she became the third generation of Weiners to set up shop in Lower Manhattan. Armed with a degree in art history and an obsession with “all things antique and vintage,” Weiner handcrafts necklaces, rings, bracelets and earrings that reflect a reverence for the past. For example, her “Love Token” pendants, meaningfully engraved with “papa” or “mother,” draw on a 13th-century tradition of altering coins into tokens of affection. She’s also gone on to create dazzling engagement rings for brides who want something unique. “Our ethos is the same as it was in the beginning—a special, heirloomlike piece of jewelry, made in New York with recycled materials as often as possible,” says Weiner. ericaweiner.com or 173 Elizabeth St.

Emily Brady Koplar (near left) designs Wai Ming for: Strong and unabashedly feminine. Not only has the local brand been spotted on the singer, it’s perfect for anyone who craves chiseled silhouettes. “I love clean lines with graphic or architectural influences,” says Koplar. The fall collection includes a navy jumpsuit with off-the-shoulder sleeves, a floor-length emerald gown, a blue-and-gray minidress with woven details (left) and, of course, plenty of pleats, which appear in all of Koplar’s collections. “I think the line speaks to the global woman who isn’t afraid to embrace her femininity,” Koplar continues. “She’s a modern, warrior princess ready to take on whatever comes her way!” waimingstudio. com or Thistle & Clover (221 DeKalb Ave., Fort Greene, Brooklyn)

I live Uptown, but when it comes to sprucing up my fall wardrobe, I stroll below Astor Place to find my new must-have pieces. First, I’ll stop into Jay Kos (293 Mott St., 212.319.2770), who utilizes unusual fabrics (French goatskin, woven leather) and striking colors (bright oranges, emerald greens) to create pieces you won’t see anywhere else. My next stop is John Varvatos (315 Bowery, 212.358.0315), who seamlessly melds a rock ‘n’ roll aesthetic with modern wearability. The result: a choice selection of fabulous leather jackets (above), great denim and killer boots that make me feel young and hip, but not ridiculous. For slightly more casual clothes, it’s Billy Reid (54 Bond St., 212. 598.9355), where simplicity, style and Southern panache come together in great shirts, coats and sport jackets. To accessorize, I might add a silver ring or bracelet from Versani (152 Mercer St., 212.941.9919). And then I top the day off, literally, with a felt fedora from the vast selection at City Hats (63 Bleecker St., 212.260.1948). Mission accomplished!

Grand Central Oyster Bar Since 1913, eager eaters have made the Grand Central Oyster Bar a must destination. Its name is somewhat misleading: It’s also a stellar seafood restaurant.

GREAT EATS

The Dish on New Restaurants

In New York, only the traffic lights change as fast as the roster of great restaurants. The new chefs on the block—and some of the established ones—are constantly reinventing the city’s dining experience. Here are four spots worth a visit. BY BOB CANNON AMADA An outpost of Chef Jose Garces’ venerable Philadelphia restaurant of the same name, Amada offers its greatest hits, such as empanadas with manchego, tripe stew, ham croquettes, lamb tartare and several paellas, along with a large suckling pig. 250 Vesey St., 212.542.8947, newyork.amada restaurant.com BERGEN HILL At this Brooklyn-to-Manhattan transplant, the menu is seafood- and vegetable-heavy, with Asian and Mediterranean accents. Wash down those delicacies with something from the impressive wine list. 64 Cooper Sq., no phone at press time, bergenhill.com KELLOGG’S NYC Filling a need for the city that’s always craving novelty, Kellogg‘s NYC has

reimagined the bowl of cereal. With bold graphics, the store/restaurant resembles a Kellogg’s commercial come to life, featuring cereal concoctions such as Berry au Lait and The Chai Line. 1600 Broadway, 646.847.0055, kelloggsnyc.com BEASTS & BOTTLES Of course, it’s not all about Manhattan anymore. Over in Brooklyn Heights is Beasts & Bottles, where, says master sommelier Alexander LaPratt, “we hope to distinguish ourselves by sourcing from local purveyors with heritage ingredients.” The signature meat dish, Sasso Heritage Breed chicken for two, is brined overnight and then air-dried for five days. “Great food and wine are the mediums we use to connect to people,” says LaPratt. 151 Atlantic Ave., 718.855.3158, beastsandbottles.com

This Art Deco restaurant’s raw bar features shrimp, crabs, clams and (East and West Coast) oysters served on the half shell. Live jazz on Tuesday nights and Sunday brunch. 633 Third Ave., 212.986.8080, docksoysterbar.com

Cull & Pistol Oyster Bar With the ambience of an upscale fish shack and just 48 seats, Cull & Pistol is a cozy newcomer to the Chelsea Market scene. It pays to book ahead: With a little luck, you can get a view of the scenic oyster bar. 75 Ninth Ave., 212.255.5672, lobsterplace.com

The Mermaid Inn The folks at The Mermaid Inn not only offer fresh oysters in three festive NYC locales, they’ve created the Oysterpedia app, which takes the guesswork out of ordering oysters and lets you know what’s in season. 96 Second Ave., 212.674.5870, themermaidnyc.com

THE NEW SEASON

Opening on Broadway

Made in New York

A Really Big Dance

On Sept. 21, conductor Alan Gilbert (below) takes to the

Dance fans traditionally look to the Brooklyn Academy of Music’s annual Next Wave Festival for works that are anything but traditional. Next Wave is synonymous with the avant-garde, and this year’s fest (Sept. 7–Dec. 18) is no exception. Top of the bill Sept. 16–17 at the BAM Howard Gilman Opera House is “monumental” (above) from Canada’s The Holy Body Tattoo company. Don’t let the lowercase “m” in the title fool you: This is a large-scale, multilayered experience. Nine dancers, dressed in monochromatic contemporary business attire, slink, slide and slither, venting their angst while asserting their individuality—and humanity—in a rigid corporate and social order. Conceptual artist Jenny Holzer has supplied textual elements, and post-rock collective Godspeed You! Black Emperor provides the mesmerizing live wall of sound. Monumental, indeed.—F.L.

podium at Lincoln Center’s David Geffen Hall and opens the New York Philharmonic’s 175th anniversary season. The concert promises to be as emotional as it is historic. On the program is Antonín Dvorák’s Symphony No. 9, “From the New World,” a work with NYC in its DNA. (Four additional performances of the symphony are scheduled for Sept. 22–24 and 27.) Dvorák, a Czech native, composed the piece—whose second movement contains its most recognizable and popular theme—while living at 127 E. 17th St. between 1892 and 1895 (the building has since been razed). Fittingly, the symphony’s world premiere was given in the New World—by the New York Philharmonic on Dec. 16, 1893, at Carnegie Hall.—F.L.

It’s a given: Once Labor Day (Sept. 5 this year) is past, Broadway shakes the summer sand from its shoes and gets down to the serious business of the fall theatrical season. Seven shows begin previews this month, including star-studded revivals of “The Cherry Orchard” (Diane Lane!), “The Front Page” (two-time Tony winner Nathan Lane!) and “Falsettos” (two-time Tony winner Christian Borle!). New plays take audiences on an adventure in the Amazon rain forest (“The Encounter”) and explore the consequences of a chance meeting in a London train station (“Heisenberg”). There’s even a “new” Irving Berlin musical, “Holiday Inn,” which is surely something to sing about. The show I’m most looking forward to? “Oh, Hello” (above), a comedy about two seventysomething Upper Westsiders doing what New Yorkers do best: kvetching. For more about these and other Broadway shows, see listings beginning on p. 20 and visit wheretraveler.com.—Francis Lewis

Investigate these players’ go-tos, and then you can decide who scores higher!

FAVORITE RESTAURANTS

If I am in the mood for sushi, my favorite place is Sushi Samba in the West Village. It has some of the freshest fish and best rolls I’ve ever had—not to mention, it’s a great date spot. Check out the tuna tataki small plate and edamame to start and then order an array of rolls. If I’m looking for a “New York slice,” I head to Arturo’s on Houston St. in Greenwich Village. New York is known for coal-oven pizza, and Arturo’s does not disappoint. My go-to is the classic mozzarella pizza, and then I add pepperoni. Last, but certainly not least, is STK, a great steak house in the city: There are locations both Downtown and in Midtown. I order the filet mignon and asparagus, and then, mac ’n’ cheese for the table to share.

FAVORITE SHOPS

G-Star jeans in SoHo—they have the best jeans selection. Macy’s in Herald Square—I love the variety of clothes, I go in all the time. Niketown on E. 57th St.—this one is a classic. I’ve been wearing Nike for a long time, and this store does not disappoint Nike lovers.

FAVORITE NEIGHBORHOOD

I really like the East Village. It’s a low-key place to hang out, not as mainstream as some other parts of the city and has an artsy vibe—not to mention unique restaurants, shops and nightlife!

FAVORITE RESTAURANTS

For pizza, I go to Lombardi’s on Spring St. It has amazing brick-oven pizza and a laid-back ambience. I get the margarita pie with meatballs and pepperoni. For an upscale night, I really enjoy Philippe by Philippe Chow. I usually order the chicken satays, served on skewers with peanut sauce, the chicken fried rice and the crispy beef. For steak, it’s American Cut in TriBeCa. The filet mignon is classic, and the bread they serve is incredible. When I have a sweet tooth, I head to Billy’s Bakery in Chelsea.

FAVORITE SHOPS

Acustom Apparel: The shop uses a body scan to create custom-tailored clothes. It has a “design bar” and can design pretty much anything. If you’re looking for a great suit, you also have to check out Suitsupply, which has a wide array of sizes (important for me) and does quick alterations. Tissot on Fifth Ave. makes some of my favorite watches, from the touch to classic selections. I also love checking out the new styles at Under Armour.

FAVORITE NEIGHBORHOODS

I love going to SoHo. I also like Chelsea: When I first came here, my agent took me to Stone Street Coffee Company there. Little did I know, it was actually a really cool lounge called Bathtub Gin. Bonus: The owner is a Jets fan! w w w.wh e re t rave le r.c o m

While Manhattan has no shortage of skyscrapers showcasing stupendous city views, (1) Top of the Rock, the observatory on the 70th floor of Rockefeller Center in Midtown, offers instagram-worthy panoramas of the entire island. With its Chagall murals, its LED Grand Stair saying “welcome” in different languages and, of course, its world-class opera, ballet, symphonies and concerts, you won’t want to miss a visit to (2) Lincoln Center, with or without tickets. They say the neon lights are bright on (3) Broadway (and Times Square): Need we say more?

If you are interested in Revolutionary America, visiting (1) Federal Hall National Monument, where George Washington was sworn in as first president of the United States in 1789, is a must. Much farther north, in Riverside Park, sits (2) Grant’s Tomb, where 18th president and Civil War general Ulysses S. Grant is buried with his wife, Julia. In the mood for some theatrical nostalgia? A drink or bite, then, is required at Broadway’s most famous restaurant, (3) Sardi’s: How many past and present celebrities can you recognize on its caricature-filled walls?

‘Tis the season for gridiron and, in this town, it’s easy to catch a home team game: Both the New York Jets and the New York Giants play in (1) MetLife Stadium. September may be the start of football season, but baseball is still in full swing, and the Bronx Bombers have over a dozen games this month at (2) Yankee Stadium. If, however, you can’t score tickets for any games, no need to fret: Check out hip-hop mogul Jay Z’s posh (3) 40/40 Club, which offers private lounges, fine food and cocktails, and, of course, huge plasma screens for nonstop sports-watching.
