LOIS LEVINE

Playing NYC Visitor Playing the role of leisure traveler is a delightful exercise when you are a New York native, more used to sweating out a copy deadline than gazing at a view of the New York skyline. So, on a recent summer afternoon, I did just that. I ducked out of the office and spent the morning looking at the grandeur of Central Park from Top of the Rock; lunched at Rock Center Café, while eavesdropping on conversations in multiple languages; and played Cinderella at the shoe salon of Saks Fifth Avenue. For my full New York itinerary, go to wheretraveler.com

>> MORNING Videos of great moments from NBC television shows are screened on the ceiling of the elevator that whisks you up to the 70th floor of Top of the Rock. To the north, the scope of Central Park is inspiring; to the south, One World Trade Center and the Lower Manhattan skyline can leave you breathless.

>> MIDDAY The towering statue of Prometheus can be seen from both the indoor café and outdoor garden of Rock Center Café, a favorite of the international crowd.

On the patio, large white square umbrellas provide shade at the tables, and an outdoor bar offers yummy summery cocktails like white peach bellinis.

>> AFTERNOON A uniformed doorman opens the door, and a marble-and-wroughtiron entranceway lets you know you are at Saks Fifth Avenue. Stroll down the main floor and watch faces being beautified at chic cosmetic counters. But the ninth floor is what beckons me, with a dazzling array of shoes designed to make any girl swoon.

New York is a visitor’s paradise in many ways, and no place is it more obvious than in the provocative artworks that embellish our streets and parks.

Museum-quality pieces in this town are not limited to our spectacular museums: Painters, sculptors, architects and multimedia artists create in parks, on city blocks and on rootops all over the Big Apple for natives and travelers alike to enjoy.

COMMUNING WITH NATURE

CARVED IN STONE

Janet Fekete-Bolton’s steel sculpture, “A Conversation With Nature,” is aptly named. Composed of eight horseshoeshaped pieces on a disk, it is one of seven works by women artists on view in the Art Students League of New York’s Model to Monument public art program, which occupies a 10-block stretch in Riverside Park South and whose theme is the architecture of nature. Views of the Hudson River, New Jersey and lush vegetation can be glimpsed through the negative spaces of Fekete-Bolton’s work. Riverside Park South, btw the West Side Highway & Hudson River, enter at W. 59th St. or W. 72nd St., www.theartstudentsleague.org.

Visitors enter the Noguchi Museum, founded in 1985 by Japanese-American artist, architect and designer Isamu Noguchi (1904-1988), through its open-air sculpture garden. That they may want to linger outside and take sanctuary among Noguchi’s a bstract stone carvings, meticulously placed in nature, before stepping foot in the 10 indoor galleries is understandable. This is a serene refuge from the pressures of urban life, a place in which to reflect—and recharge.

MAZE WITH A MISSION Artist Dan Graham and architect Günther Vogt have created an installation that concisely melds landscape history, corporate America and suburban life. In “Hedge Two-Way Mirror Walkabout,” the mazelike structure, comprised in part of steel, symbolizes the office towers of inner cities, while the ivy hedgerows (also meant to mimic 18th-century formal gardens) are reminders of the bushes that often act as boundaries between suburban homes. The entire piece works to encapsulate historic gardens, urban architecture—and the suburban lawn. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1000 Fifth Ave., at 82nd St., 212.535.7710, thru Nov. 2.

A VIOLENT CURRENT Begun in 1938, Aristide Maillol’s sculpture “The River” began as a monument to honor pacifist and French writer Henri Barbusse, with the concept of a woman being stabbed in the back and falling. Barbusse died while the sculpture was being made and the commission fell through, but Maillol continued the work, transforming it into a river-themed piece, the woman’s raised arms possibly referencing a powerful current.

Yet, considering it was being made during World War ll, the violent, twisting position can also be a reflection of the horrors of war. An ironic work from the man who once said, “For my taste, there should be as little movement as possible in sculpture.” The Sculpture Garden at the Museum of Modern Art, 11 W. 53rd St., btw Fifth & Sixth aves., 212.708.9400.

Aristide Maillol’s “The River”

One of Rachel Feinstein’s “Follies”

FABULOUS FOLLY This summer, a new installation by New York sculptor Rachel Feinstein consisting of three “follies”—structures popular in 18th- and 19th-century architecture as purely decorative pieces (hence the term “folly”)—can be seen in Madison Square Park for a limited time. “Cliff House” (above) is imagined as a house perched on a towering cliff, made of powder-coated aluminum with an applied surface illustra-

tion. All three pieces (there is also a rococo-style hut and a flying ship moored high in a tree) are part of an installation that is on view in the park thru Sept. 7. Says Feinstein of this work, “I picture Follyy as an empty Fellini-esque set dropped into the middle of a lush green wonderland in the historical Flatiron District of New York City.” Madison Square Park, Fifth Ave. and Broadway, at 23rd St., 212.538.1884. w w w. wh ere trave ler.c om

BOOZE CRUISE Some things are simply sexier on a yacht. Especially drinking. Hornblower Cruises has a lush scalawag’s back with cocktail cruise programs that depart from South Street Seaport’s Pier 15 (near South & John sts., 212.337.0001): Alive After Five (TuesSun, 6-8 p.m.) and Rock the Yacht! (Tues-Sat, 9 p.m.-midnight). Not to be outdone, World Yacht sends its fleet’s largest boat, The Duchess, out from Pier 81 (at W. 41st St. & 12th Ave., 212.630.8100) multiple times weekly for sip sessions in the Duchess Lounge. The buzz hits like a starboard wave.

RIVERSIDE RESTOS “Isn’t the view just lovely, darling?” is the refrain at Boat Basin

Café (W. 79th St., at Henry Hudson Pkwy., 212.496.5542), where barbecue is made better by Hudson River views. Meanwhile, under the Brooklyn Bridge, The River Café (1 Water St., at Old Fulton St., Red Hook, Brooklyn, 718.522.5200) serves American dishes in a scenic space in sight of passing boats.

BUOYANT BARS Once a sunken 1929 lightship, the Frying Pan (Hudson River Park, at W. 26th St., 212.989.6363) gives a divey intro to pirate-style inebriation.

NAUTICAL CULTURE Coast life isn’t just about eating and imbibing. Red Hook, Brooklyn’s Waterfront Barge Museum (290 Conover St., at Pier 44, 718.624.4719), itself a converted barge, explores the area’s boating history, while the South Street Seaport Museum (12 Fulton St., btw South & Front sts., 212.748.8600) delves into the port’s seamerchant past. Hudson n River Park’s Blues BB BQ Festival brings free bayou blues and roots music to our urban riverside (Pier 84, Aug. 23; www.hudsonriverpark .org). Rock the boat.

Between the Bread The sandwich,, in concept, p , is a simple p invention—food between bread. But that doesn’t mean it has to taste simplistic. NYC’s gourmet takes, great for eating on the go, are a far cry from mom’s packed lunches.—William Frierson n

CITY SANDWICH “Gourmet doesn’t always mean ‘knife and fork,’” says Chef Michael Guerrieri, who fuses his Italian and Portugue guese roots in his food, food, jamming the com mplexity of plated dishes between crusty, flour-dusted Portuguese bread only a hop, skip and jump from Times Square. The savory LGBT (linguiça sausage spread, goat cheese, smoked bacon, lettuce, sautéed onion and olive oil) and fresh Fatima (octopus salad, diced onion, arugula, parsley, mustard-vinegar, olive oil) are winners. 649 Ninth Ave., btw W. 45th & W. 46th sts., 646.684.3943 SPREADS This isn’t a run-of-the-mill lunch spot. A well-edited yet diverse menu offers much, and everything sampled here proved superb, from the kale-slaw-spiked chicken schnitzel with garlic aioli to the cooling salmon BLT, on ciabatta with thick, sugared bacon.

Polish immigrant Nathan Handwerker started in 1916 with a single stand in Coney Island before expanding worldwide. Frankfurter fans can still savor the famed dogs, along with crispy chicken and cheese fries, at the original joint.

Ride the Thunderbolt!

Day Trip to Coney Island Brooklyn’s iconic playground charms sun-soakers with a color ful boardwalk, classic Americana relics, carnival cuisine and beach fireworks every Friday.—Joni — Sweet ADRENALINE RUSH Young or old, every member of the family can have a blast at Luna Park k (1000 Surf Ave., at W. 10th St., 718.373.5862).

History buffs relish the C yclone, a swirl ing wooden coaster from 1927, while thrill-seekers should make a point to hop on the Thunderbolt, a brand-new, 125-foot-tall steel coaster that jolts to 65 mph. The park also offers calmer rides for youngsters and keeps lines moving quickly, so guests spend their time playing—not waiting around.

CUPS AND CONES Nearly every vendor on the boardwalk touts

frozen treats, but save your money and head to Coney’s Cones (1023 Boardwalk West, btw W. 10th & W. 12th sts., www .coneyscones.com) for homemade ice cream, made in small batches on-site.

Chill out with flavors like Bi polar Bear (mint, Oreos and white chocolate), Coney’s Crunch (pineapple, coconut and walnuts) and Dulce de Leche , or dig into ice-cream cookie sandwiches.

Sprinkles, anyone?

SEAS SANS SCUBA The New York Aquarium (602 Surf Ave., at W. 8th St., 718.265.3474) may be undergoing a face-lift (a new exhibition space is set to open in 2016), but the oldest continually operated aquarium in America is sti ll worth a visit, having made a splash earlier this summer with a seal pup, only the second born there since 1999. Visitors can also see man y other sea species, includin g living coral, black-footed penguins, rambunctious sea otters and tro pical fish. Don’t miss the sea lions perform at the Aquatheater (daily, times posted at entrance), as the blubbery creatures show o ff their ability to respond to commands on cue .

Bizarre Blooms Only a small number of visitors to Southeast Asia catch a glimpse of the rare Rafflesia (above) in bloom, which may be for the best—the giant, parasitic flowering plant, while beautiful, emits a foul odor akin to rotting flesh.

GALLERIES & ANTIQUES DISTRICTS In general, commercial art galleries and d antiques shops are concentrated in five areas of Manhattan: The Upper East Side. Madison Ave., and surrounding streets, is a rich hunting ground for the collector of fine art and antiques.

57th St. The stretch btw Madison & Sixth aves. is of special interest to the art lover.

The most notable buildings here are 40 W. 57th St. (btw Fifth & Sixth aves.); 724 Fifth Ave. (btw 56th & 57th sts.); 745 Fifth Ave. (btw 57th & 58th sts.); the Fuller Building (41 E. 57th St., at Madison Ave.); and the Crown Building (730 Fifth Ave., btw 56th & 57th sts.).

Chelsea and the Meatpacking District.

These are unquestionably two of Manhattan’s hottest art districts. Contemporary paintings, sculpture and video installations prevail, with only a few antiques shops. Art galleries are mainly located btw W. 14th & W. 29th sts. and btw 10th & 12th aves. A multitude of galleries can be found on W. 20th, W. 21st, W. 22nd, W. 24th, W. 25th & W. 26th sts.

SoHo. Though SoHo has ceded its title as Manhattan’s art epicenter to Chelsea, many outstanding galleries remain in this neighborhood, where the cast-iron buildings are works of art themselves. Greene & Wooster sts. and W. Broadway are important thoroughfares for the art-minded.

The East Village and Lower East Side.

Shops along two streets—Broadway, btw E. 10th & E. 13th sts., and E. 10th St., btw University Pl. & Broadway—specialize in fine furniture and accessories. Offbeat art exhibitors cluster on Rivington, Orchard, Eldridge and Chrystie sts., as well as on Bowery.

Maps 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 No matter how far you ride, the base subway and local bus fare is $2.50 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—$30 for seven consecutive days and $112 for 30 consecutive days. 2) Pay-Per-Ride—The bonus for purchasing multiple rides is 5 percent.

My New York Julia Stiles

MY PERFECT DAY

[Actress] Native New Yorker Julia Stiles, known for such films as 10 Things I Hate About You, Save the Last Dancee and Mona Lisa Smile, actually began her career performing in New York theater. She currently stars in the dark romantic comedy Phoenix, playing at the Cherry Lane Theatre thru Aug. 23.—Lois Levine

Prospect Park

Afternoon: Books and Bites After checking emails and being on the phone, I might read a little bit, if I’m not with friends. There is a cute place for lunch in the East Village, where they don’t rush you, called Ciao for Now.

Evening: Parks and Clubs and how they connect to each other and they don’t connect. How people do and don’t connect to each other: That’s what drew me in.

What’s next on your list of projects?

I have a lot of spinning plates, so I don’t know. I would actually like to direct, but I feel weird talking about plates that are still spinning.

What are your favorite places?

I am more comfortable on the East Side, but I am finding that exploring Brooklyn has been really fun. The waterfront by Dumbo and Brooklyn Heights is really pretty. I have spent time in Fort Greene. My friend has a restaurant there, Colonia Verde, Latin

The Brooklyn Bridge

I love going to hear live music. I live near Mercury Lounge, and there’s also Baby’s All Right in Brooklyn. I like going to hear music in Prospect Park. Just random adventures!

American food. Another place that never fails me is Cafe Mogador, which is Mediterranean, also in Brooklyn. I partial to Angelica Kitchen; for something a little fancy, East 12th Osteria.

As far as shopping, there are lots of great boutiques in the East Village and on the Lower East Side: There’s a store on Elizabeth Street called Love Adorned, where you can get things for your house. And then there is a fun vintage store that has a “shrine” devoted to a former Playboy bunny whose designs they sold, Dusty Buttons, on E. 9th Street. There are so many things at your fingertips here!

How did you get involved with Phoenix? What enticed you to do the play?

It came about really quickly.

It was a kind of serendipitous thing: The director and I got to know each other because I was attached to a movie she was developing. We became friends years ago. And she called and said, “I had a dream that you and I should do a play again. And we have to find the play.” It’s a testament to her character that she pulled it together quickly, found the play and Phoenixx was the one that stuck!

The play is about these two people

Morning: Jog by the River In the morning, I often go running along the East River: Running down the bike path there is great, with views of the Brooklyn Bridge.
