When it comes to drinking, I usually stick with wheretraveler.com/NYtours two preferences. I enjoy either a buttery, full-bodied white wine or a very cold, very dry Grey Goose martini with olives AND a twist (I learned about double-dipping my garnishes from a hotel bar in Barcelona). But, come Happy Hour during these warm, languid months of summer, I usually add a margarita to my itinerary. Natch, all of these libations can be found on a drinks menu in virtually any city bar, but here are three of my favorites. For my full New York itinerary, go to wheretraveler.com.

>> MARTINI, ANYONE? For one of the greatest martinis in NYC, head over to The Campbell Apartment in Grand Central Terminal. The former private salon of 1920s tycoon John W. Campbell offers plump couches, low lighting and a perfectly crafted, chilled martini, well shaken, with nary an ice chip to be found. James Bond would approve.

>> A BAR NAMED LOIS! A new bar has opened on the Lower East Side called Lois, and its specialty is wines on draft. (Yes, that’s right, wines on draft). What could be more appealing for this editor?? Small plates are made specifically for wine pairings, and wines from around the world are offered at gentle prices (most between $5 and $12 a glass).

where in the world

>> MARGARITAVILLE Rosa Mexicano now has three locations, but I fondly remember my first visit to the original on First Avenue and experiencing one of its scrumptious margaritas: Try a house fave like the pomegranate, made with blanco tequila, triple sec, pomegranate and lime, or ask your barkeep for a customtailored one.

Partake in this New York tradition: dinner and a Broadway show.

CENTER STAGE

What’s your taste in theater? A thought-provoking drama? Or a big, brassy musical? We love them both! Here are five of our favorite new shows— each one a feast for the senses. Speaking of feasting, we also match the entertainment to a restaurant. So, do as we do, and make a night of it. You’re on Broadway!

We’re big fans of Something Rotten! 14 W H E R E C I T Y N A M E I M O N T H Y E A R

BWAY BITS & BITES

PHOTOS: SOMETHING ROTTEN!, ©JOAN MARCUS, 2015; WOLF HALL, JOHAN PERSSON; FINDING NEVERLAND, CAROL ROSEGG; ON THE TOWN, JOAN MARCUS

The last line in David Hare’s Skylight, now being revived on Broadway, is “Come on, Edward, let’s eat.” My sentiment exactly. Nothing gives me greater pleasure than a stimulating evening at the theater, followed by a tasty meal at a nearby restaurant. My preference for dining at 10 or 11 p.m. may not be to everyone’s liking, so know that the restaurants referenced are also great before-the-show spots.—Francis Lewis FINDING NEVERLAND Odds are you’ll want to take the kids to Finding Neverland (Lunt-Fontanne Theatre, 205 W. 46th St., 877.250.2929), a tunefully spectacular, familyfriendly musical about the origins of J.M. Barrie’s boy who wouldn’t grow up: Peter Pan. Matthew Morrison spreads glee as Barrie, and Kelsey Grammer makes a cheery Captain Hook. For eats, go to Junior’s (1515 Broad-

Finding Neverland is a Broadway find.

way, 212.302.2000), where kids have their own menu: tried-and-true macaroni and cheese, chicken fingers and burgers with fries. Grownups won’t want to pass up a gut-busting corned-beefand-pastrami deli sandwich. Young and old should save room for a thick slab of Junior’s cheesecake in raspberry swirl, chocolate mousse and more variations, including lusciously plain. SKYLIGHT During the first act of Skylight (John Golden Theatre, 252 W. 45th St., 212.239.6200), Carey Mulligan as the former mistress of a successful restaurateur, played by Bill Nighy, actually prepares spaghetti Bolognese onstage. A

delicious aroma pervades the theater. But, since I’m watching my carbs, there was no pasta for me after the show. Rather, it was off to Kodama Sushi (301 W. 45th St., 212.582.8065), my go-to Japanese, where I always order the Broadway Bento Box, comprising miso soup, salad, shrimp and vegetable tempura, chicken teriyaki, a California roll and shumai—for $21.50. WOLF HALL, PARTS 1 & 2 Wolf Hall (Winter Garden Theatre, 1634 Broadway, 212.239.6200), Broadway’s longest play, is actually two spellbinding, three-hour plays about Henry VIII and his courtship and marriage to Anne Boleyn. You can see both plays on Wednesday, Saturday or Sunday. During the dinner break between the afternoon and evening performances, I urge you to indulge in the “Proper English Feast” that Rock Center Café (20 W. 50th St., 212.332.7620) has specially laid on (reservations a must). For a prix fixe of $48 per person, you get three courses, with choices that include Scotch egg or Henry VIII falls for Anne Boleyn, but she’s the one who loses her head in Wolf Hall.

split pea soup with ham for a starter, shepherd’s pie or “bubble and squeak” (fried steak and onion gravy) for a main, and Eton Mess (strawberries and cream) or chocolate steamed pudding for dessert. You’ll eat like royalty, as I did. ON THE TOWN Is there a more “New York” musical than On the Town (Lyric Theater, 213 W. 42nd St., 877.250.2929)? You can feel the city’s pace in Leonard Bernstein’s music; Betty Comden and Adolph Green’s lyrics and book are street-smart; and the dancing defies gravity, just like our skyscrapers. A New York show like this deserves a New York restaurant, and Joe Allen (326 W. 46th St., 212.581.6464) is the real deal. American comfortfood is on the menu: tender calf’s liver with crispy bacon, Yankee pot roast, meatloaf. Joe Allen is also a celebrity magnet: I’ve dined

next to designer Michael Kors on two occasions. SOMETHING ROTTEN! There’s nothing rotten about Something Rotten! (St. James Theatre, 246 W. 44th St., 212.239.6200), the uproarious musical about the world’s very first musical— Omelette—a delirious take on The Bard’s Hamlet and a pastiche of just about every Broadway musical ever written. Nor is there anything rotten about the food at Angus’ Cafe Bistro (258 W. 44th St., 212.221.9222), which serves arguably the best bargain in the Theater District: a 38-oz. porterhouse T-bone steak dinner for two with three sides (choices include ratatouille and twice-baked potato) for $79 or all of the above, plus salad and dessert, for $99. Dine after 8 p.m., and all-you-can-drink house red or white wine is included with either option. Now you know why I like to dine here after a show. w w w.wh e re t rave le r.c o m

A TRIP TO ELLIS ISLAND Having never visited before, I decided a trip to the Ellis Island National Museum of Immigration (www.libertyellisfoundation.org) was long overdue. And so, I recently hailed a cab to Battery Park, where magnificent Lady Liberty stands seemingly within reach. Boarding the ferry and grabbing a seat (quickly, as the boat gets packed within moments) was an instant lesson in the truly international flavor of this city. To my right sat a young Australian family of three; to my left, I heard the honeyed drawl of the Deep South; and, in front of me, I watched a young man furiously texting in Japanese. Once at the museum, I grabbed a headset for the audio tour (a must!), and proceeded on this sobering trip back in time. The Journeys hall chronicled early NYC arrivals (1550-1890); elsewhere, I walked through rooms which had once been crammed with bunk beds housing immigrants; and, at the History Center, where I could access passenger records, I looked for Grandpa Louis, who came here from Austria-Hungary in 1915. I didn’t find him, but it was still worth the experience.

take on traditional Russian cuisine, sits in an 1800s building and is accented by soft colors and elaborate chandeliers, along with a rotating exhibit of contemporary Russian art. But come a balmy evening, you’ll want to be on the restaurant’s back patio, enhanced with exposed brick, plenty of greenery and subdued lighting. You can just snack (small plates include horseradish prawns, velvet borscht and pickled crudités) or eat large (lobster-stuﬀed cabbage, braised rabbit and roast quail with walnut sauce). 140 W.

Garden at the James

• The Garden by David Burke Kitchen at the James is an instant visual treat, with its lush trees and plants that encircle the views of Lower Manhattan. But for treats of the edible nature you will want to come hungry: The menu oﬀers creative table shares such as lobster dumplings with coconut fennel cream, and tomato and eggplant in a ricotta “jar.” For main courses, you can try soft-shell crab BLTs, the black sea bass with baby spinach and shiitake or a generous steak sandwich with brie and caramelized onion: All have the “oh, so yum” factor. 27 Grand St., 212.465.2000

Madison Square Park

Art Outdoors With NYC’s most glorious season upon us, you don’t have to stay inside to take in great art. The Public Art Fund (publicartfund.org) and other art foundations push the boundaries of environmental art and accentuate the landscape of the Big Apple in innovative ways. On the menu this summer are crumbling organic forms overlooking the Hudson River, a reflective mirage of cutouts suspended above a haven of greenery in midtown Manhattan and so much more.—Lorraine Rubio

THE HIGH LINE (btw 11th and 12th aves., btw W. 29th and W. 34th sts.) Visitors to the rail-yard portion of the elevated park come upon Adrián Villar Rojas’ The Evolution of God, spartan concrete blocks that, upon a closer look, reveal a mixture of cement, soft clay and old sneakers. The disintegration of the blocks over time represents the everchanging identities of city landmarks and spaces. Thru summer 2015. MADISON SQUARE PARK (btw Madison & Fifth aves., btw E. 23rd & E. 26th sts.) Installed above the park’s pathways, the hovering, golden-mirrored cutouts of Teresita Fernández’s Fata Morgana set the popular relaxation spot ablaze. Thru winter 2016.

SOCRATES SCULPTURE PARK (32-01 Vernon Blvd., at 31st Dr., Long Island City, Queens) Agnes Denes is at it again with a plant-based interlude in bustling city life. The environmental artist is growing a 30-foot-tall pyramid of wild flowers and grasses, The Living Pyramid, with the Manhattan skyline as its backdrop. Thru Aug. 30. BROOKLYN BRIDGE PARK (Furman St., at Everit St., Brooklyn) Jeppe Heins’ playful installations, collectively titled Please Touch the Art, encourage interactions between the viewer, the art and other parkgoers. Pieces include augmented park benches that facilitate conversation and a mirrored labyrinth. Thru Apr. 17, 2016.

Neighborhoods

FINER FARE The modern dining scene here is the stuff foodies’ dreams are made of. Stop by Wassail (162 Orchard St., 646.918.6835) for a taste of tart hard cider from around a dozen draft options and even more bottled libations from around the world. It’s a spot for daring diners to try new vegetarian meals, as the menu descriptions of dishes offer an almost cryptically basic reduction of what manifests as beautifully plated and prepared vegetables. The English Pea Cremeux dessert brought out the skeptic in us, but one bite into the multitextured, fenugreek-flavored disc, crowned by a smooth green egg of sugar-snap-pea sorbet, and we were hooked on this delightfully earthy treat. Classic French fare is kicked up with Moroccan and Orleanian spices at the popular Dirty French (180 Ludlow St., 212.254.3000). And traditional bistro Cherche Midi (282 Bowery, 212.226.3055) cooks power lunches of pan-seared salmon, steak frites and prime rib burgers. Save

OLD MARRIES NEW in this downtown neighborhood, where the pushcart peddlers, densely packed tenements and vibrant immigrant culture of yesteryear still find their footing in a hot zone of experimental art, trendy boutiques and inventive restaurants. It’s a place that plays with the past and present, as decades-old dining establishments anchor a dream scene for contemporary foodies. Gritty and glittery at the same time, it rewards those who visit with experiences you can’t find anywhere else in the city. Welcome to the Lower East Side.—Joni Sweet TASTE OF HISTORY The LES is rich with historic establishments. Kossar’s (367 Grand St., 212.473.4810), the oldest bialy bakery in America, offers up tons of the savory, yeasty rolls. Under a fog of flour, the bialymakers churn out onion-, garlic- and sesame-filled pastries fresh at all hours in the no-frills bakery. Hungry for more Jewish treats? Try Yo-

nah Schimmel Knish Bakery (137 E. Houston St., 212.477.2858), which has been serving up the dough-wrapped potato snacks since 1910. And no trip to NYC would be complete without a Reuben sandwich at Katz’s Delicatessen (205 E. Houston St., 212.254.2246). The iconic deli’s corned beef takes up to a full 30 days to cure and pairs perfectly with a crisp pickle.

Cider at Wassail

room for ice cream at Morgenstern’s (2 Rivington St., 212.209.7684), a tiny sundae spot that concocts ice cream in experimental flavors like Vietnamese coffee, green tea pistachio, banana curry and licorice.

chard St., 212.982.8420), where visitors can tour a building that was home to nearly 7,000 working-class immigrants. Constructed in 1863, the building contains literal layers of history: peeling paint and wallpaper, linoleum and wooden floors, and decaying, watermarked ceilings. The museum can only be explored on a guided tour, like the Irish Outsider’s, which shares the

Tenement Museum

story of an Irish-Catholic immigrant family. Through old photos, news clippings, census records and even Irish drinking songs, visitors gain a deeper understanding of the struggles faced by immigrants. Both heartbreaking and uplifting, the hour-long trip stays with you long after you leave. TOWN UNDER ONE ROOF A one-stop shop, Essex Street Market (120 Essex St., 212.312.3603) is the place for local vendors to offer their goods and services. It’s like a small town under one roof, with grocers, butchers, fishmongers and gourmet food purveyors filling the aisles, boundaries seemingly undefined. The foodie destination has come a long way since its launch in 1940 as an effort to make streets less crowded by moving pushcart merchants indoors. Shoppers can now nosh on cheeses, breads, homemade muffins, truffles and more, as they enjoy a sensory excursion through this bustling marketplace. There’s even a barber on-site.

display space for established creators, the museum showcases avant-garde and experimental works. Up this summer are Albert Oehlen: Home and Garden (Jun. 10-Sept. 13), Sarah Charlesworth: Doubleworld (Jun. 24-Sept. 20) and Leonor Antunes: I Stand Like a Mirror Before You (Jun. 24-Sept. 6). SHOPPING THE LES AND BEYOND Shoppers will have no trouble stocking their closet at LES stores. For a pair of statement-making shades, swing by MOSCOT (108 Orchard St., 212.477.3796). The family-owned eyewear institution, which started as a pushcart in 1915, celebrates its 100th birthday with limited-edition unisex frames that look sharp on just about anyone. Epaulet (144 Orchard St., 212.228.3626) dresses guys in everyday basics, like made-in-America button-ups and distressed-denim shirts and jeans. Fashionistas can find accessories and apparel on trend with the ‘70s fashion revival at vintage boutique Edith Machinist (104 Rivington St., 212.979.9992). Feminist bookstore Bluestockings (172 Allen St., 212.777.6028) carries thousands of titles on gender studies, global capitalism and radical education. Anyone with a sweet tooth can find sanctuary at Economy Candy (108 Rivington St., 212.254.1531), a rainbow wonderland stocked floor to ceiling with old-

fashioned and contemporary sweets, from Necco wafers to Zotz fizzers. New York neighborhoods tend to have fluid boundaries, and while the block of Elizabeth Street between Prince & E. Houston streets is technically part of NoLIta, it offers fantastic shopping next door to the LES. Shoppers can score perfectly fit men’s T-shirts at Alex Mill (268 Elizabeth St., 212.343.2539), one-of-a-kind jewelry and accessories at Love Adorned (269 Elizabeth St., 212.431.5683), classic slip-on sneakers (and a jolt of caffeine from the in-store café) at the charitable Toms outpost (264 Elizabeth St., 212.219.8304), trendy womenswear at Babel Fair (260 Elizabeth St., 646.360.3685) and comfy printed pajamas at BedHead (252 Elizabeth St., 212.233.4323), among other fun options. Our pick? The new BucketFeet boutique (266 Elizabeth St., 212.226.8102), a creative footwear company that commissions artists from around the world to design funky prints for its sneakers.

Dancin’ in the Streets

All the world’s a stage, especially in the summer. You can be walking along an avenue, and suddenly there’s someone singing, dancing or making music. Here’s a rundown of where and when.—Troy Segal

What’s the No. 1 item not to miss? The Milstein Hall of Ocean

Life. Seeing a 94-foot blue whale, the biggest animal to have ever existed, floating before your eyes is spectacular. If you have just one hour, what should you see? Our world-

renowned dinosaur halls and the Hayden Planetarium space show, Dark Universe. From dinosaur fossils to space and the study of dark matter, you’ll have traveled quite the distance in that hour. What about a three-hour visit?

In addition to the above, check out our “snapshot in time” dioramas consisting of the Akeley Hall of African Mammals and Bernard Family Hall of North American Mammals, and the Star of India— at 563 carats, the world’s largest gem-quality blue star sapphire. If you have time, see one of our special exhibitions, such as Nature’s Fury, Life at the Limits or Tiny Giants, a big-screen 3-D movie! For more information: wheretraveler.com

Dancing in Bryant Park

SQUARES AND STEPS On any given day, at the foot of the stairways leading to the Metropolitan Museum of Art (metmuseum.org) and the New York Public Library’s Stephen A. Schwarzman branch (nypl.org), doo-wop or a cappella groups harmoniously serenade, competing with the occasional juggler. At the southern end of Grand Army Plaza (Fifth Ave., btw 58th & 60th sts.), steps away from The Plaza Hotel’s carpeted staircase, break-dancing groups frequently perform; and around the illuminated steps of Lincoln Center (lincolncen ter.org), it’s rare not to find a flutist, violinist or even a bagpipe player. PARKS If you want to brush up your bachata, tango or swing, Midtown’s Bryant Park (bryantpark.org) is the place to be; every Wednesday evening this month, its terraced grounds host

The Yaz Band at Fulton Center

90-minute dance parties with live bands. If you prefer modern tunes, the New Music series on select Mondays (Jun. 1, 8 & 15) features freshly commissioned classical or jazz pieces. In Central Park (centralparknyc .org), key spots to catch musicians include the Lake (mid-park from 71st to 78th sts.), the tunnel leading to the Bethesda Fountain (mid-park, north of 72nd St.) and the Literary Walk (midpark from 66th to 72nd sts., just before Bandshell Plaza). For more elaborate entertainment, Rumsey Playfield hosts eight free evening concerts throughout June (summerstage.org). At the foot of Fifth Ave., Washington Square Park (washingtonsquarepark conservancy.org) has long been famed for its street performers and musicians. Go on a Tuesday night (Jun. 16, 23 & 30) for one of the Washington Square Music Festival concerts.

WATER’S EDGE Strolling the cobblestoned streets of the South Street Seaport, don’t be surprised if you hear live melodies, stand-up routines and interviews rending the air. It’s all part of the daylong, weekend broadcast from the new Little Water Radio station, located in the Fulton Stall Market (littlewaterradio .org). During the second half of the month, the River to River Festival (Jun. 18-28, rivertoriver nyc.com) turns spaces in Lower Manhattan into an alfresco theater for contemporary music, dance, drama and art. DOWN UNDER More than 350 musicians perform in subway stations and train terminals, offering an international array of sounds: You may hear a New Orleans band on the Times Square shuttle platform, or the Yaz Band at Fulton Center, so keep your ears open!

RESERVATIONS Making advance reservations for most restaurants is highly recommended.

THEATER DINING If dining before an 8 p.m. curtain, it is advisable to make dinner plans for no later than 5:30 p.m. to ensure a relaxed meal and sufficient time to arrive at the theater (traffic in the Broadway Theater District is particularly heavy beginning about one hour before curtain time).

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.

MiDDAY Art in the Afternoon

Renée Fleming [singer, Actress]

Soprano Renée Fleming was awarded the National Medal of Arts by President Obama in 2013, the highest honor for an indvidual artist in the country. Winner of four Grammy Awards, she has sung at historic events around the world, from the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize ceremony to the Diamond Jubilee Concert for Queen Elizabeth ll at Buckingham Palace. She has appeared in virtually all of the world’s greatest opera houses and concert halls and has recorded a wide range of music, from opera to jazz to indie rock, as well as the soundtrack of the film The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Ms. Fleming was also the first classical singer to ever perform “The Star-Spangled Banner” at the Super Bowl, which she did in 2014. Recently, she shared with Where New York magazine her thoughts about New York City, why she loves breakfast and the joys of sleeping in. I have to ask: Was it nerve-racking singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” at Super Bowl 2014? Of course! In the weeks leading up to the Super Bowl, I had a lot of wide-awake moments in the wee hours, when I was convinced I’d forget the words, or have some other mishap in front of 111 million viewers. I couldn’t forget that they have deep feelings about the national anthem. Intense preparation was the way I dealt with that.

What about favorite spots, shops, restaurants, neighborhoods? I love the Theater District, with the energy of Times Square. I also love seeing the ships at South Street Seaport, walking around the Village, and seeing the mansions on Fifth Avenue, some of which are now museums. All of New York’s parks are treasures, but strolling over to Riverside Park, being by the water, seeing neighbors, children, dogs, is a real pleasure.

Definitely an excursion to one of New York’s great museums. I love them all, especially contemporary art, so the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney and the Guggenheim are all wonderful. And there’s always something fantastic to see at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. A favorite place to restore after wandering museum galleries is the Terrace 5 café at MoMA.

Evening That’s Entertainment On nights off, I almost always find myself at the theater: Broadway is full of memories of legendary shows and performers who played there. I love jazz, too, so going to a concert at Jazz at Lincoln Center, with its great performance venues in the Time Warner Center (like the Appel Room, above), is a favorite way to spend an evening.

Late, leisurely breakfast at Café Luxembourg is a real indulgence. If I’m performing on Broadway, doing an eight-show week, I rise a little later, and really enjoy a relaxed morning.
