Multitask Mania

No one knows multitasking better than this nutty editor. Back in 1995, as the then-pregnant editor of Where, I left work on a freezing Friday in February, only to give birth 48 hours later to a baby boy. The next day I got home, placed said baby in his car seat on my bedroom floor, and rocked him to sleep with my right foot while I finished writing up my last article before maternity leave. Insanity, yes. But multitasking is a way of life in this city of so-many-things-to-do-let’s-do-morethan-one-at-a-time. Check out some spots around town where you, too, can happily multitask, just like the natives. For my full New York itinerary, go to wheretraveler.com.

The space also offers a jukebox, a dance floor and a monthly calendar of events. And the retro vibe is just too fun, with the same chromecovered hair dryers from the original 1970s salon.

Calling all modern-day flappers and Gatsby wannabes: Dress in your vintage best and head to Governors Island for a 1920s-themed fête.

Expect to hear recordings played on antique gramophones, take vintage portraits and see performers liven the party with song and dance. It’s a special opportunity to experience an iconic era. Tickets start at $35. jazzagelawnparty.com—Joni Sweet

The quickest way to Harlem? ”Take the ’A’ [subway] train,” says the song. Or you can take in the sites on a 4-to-5-hour bus tour with Harlem Spirituals (harlemspirituals .com).

the Apollo (253 W. 125th St., apollothe ater.org) is the place to go. Foodies pig out on full racks of pit-smoked pork ribs at Dinosaur Bar-BQue (700 W. 125th St., 212.694.1777), while jazz junkies jive at Showmans (375 W. 125th St., 212.864.8941).

Kiehl’s skin, hair and body products are universally available, so why go to the brand’s original (now flagship) store? Try a quirky interior, with crystal chandeliers, vintage motorcycles, skeletons and every Kiehl’s elixir under the sun and under one roof.

This outer borough, ranked by Lonely Planet as the best place to visit in the U.S. in 2015, invites visitors to a rich multicultural experience. Relics of the 1939 and 1964 World’s Fairs, like the Unisphere (below), still dot Flushing-Meadows Corona Park. Check out the Panorama of

the City of New York at the nearby Queens Museum (queensmu seum.org). In Astoria, you’ll find great restaurants, souvenir shops, Bohemian Hall and Beer Garden (bohe mianhall.com) and a chance to learn about the history of film at the Museum of the Moving Image (mov ingimage.us). We also love Flushing’s dumpling houses and Corona’s Louis Armstrong House Museum (louis armstronghouse.org), the preserved home of the jazz great.

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.

My New York

Aidan Gemme [Actor]

Twelve-year-old Aidan Gemme, who has appeared on Broadway in Waiting for Godot and Mary Poppins, is now charming audiences as Peter in Finding Neverland. Recently, he spoke with us about his favorite parks, playing for the NBA and the city’s greatest hot dogs.

How is being on Broadway different this time, if at all?

We developed a new show from scratch. We have had so much fun being able to explore characters.

Everything was changing so much, it seemed just as you grasped one idea it would be replaced with a completely new one!

Do you want to stay with acting as an adult?

I won’t lie: I love acting and I feel so honored to be part of such an amaz-

When you are not onstage, what are your favorite things to do in the city (restaurants, parks, entertainment, neighborhoods)?

Like everyone should, I love eating at Chipotle. There is a park on W. 43rd St. and Ninth Ave. where I love playing basketball and just running around to release energy before or after a show. Central Park has great rocks to climb, sprinklers in the playgrounds, baseball fields: It’s awesome to wander there. The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Egyptian wing is amazing. Gray’s Papaya has the best hot dogs in New York City. Discovery Times Square has cool exhibits. The Harry Potter exhibit had rooms full of props from the actual set. I think there is an Avengers exhibit now.

There is music and dance everywhere: My family not only watches street musicians, but my grandpa Les took my brother and me to Jazz at Lincoln Center. We saw Roy Haynes at Birdland and we’ve seen Savion Glover tap-dancing at Blue Note. NYC is so entertaining!

Any dream project you would like to do after Finding Neverland?

I would love to do anything with Matthew Morrison and Aidan Gemme in Finding Neverland

My perfect day MORNING: I’d sleep in until about 10. For breakfast I’d have waffles with bacon, whipped cream, strawberries and chopped-up almonds. Then a game of Monopoly with my brother.

AFTERNOON: Lunch at The Counter: It’s a buildyour-own-burger place, plus the apple crumble is amazing! Play a pickup game of basketball with my friends all afternoon.

EVENING: My favorite dinner is filet mignon.

Haru, on W. 43rd St., is where we like to go. Then a baseball game at Citi Field which the Mets win.

Eddie Redmayne. I would love to play Auggie from the book Wonder by R.J. Palacio at some point!

If you had to tell a 12-year-old boy, visiting New York for the first time, what he absolutely must not miss while he was here, what three places would you tell him to go to?

Bryant Park. It is such a friendly place and they have free activities from ping-pong to juggling lessons to ice skating! Madison Square Garden is a historical place where amazing athletes have played and you can still feel their presence. A Broadway show: Finding Neverland! The Empire State Building: You can see the whole city from up high. That’s four things!

ing community as the world of actors, but it has always been a dream of mine to play in the NBA or MLB. Also, I want to study physics in college and possibly become a physicist.
