NEW YORK

C E L E B R AT I N G 8 0 Y E A R S O F T R AV E L

The Essential New York The last month of 2016! All year, in this column, we have been celebrating the 80th anniversary of Where magazine (which was launched in Detroit, Michigan, in 1936) by suggesting shops, museums and neighborhoods that you can visit, even if you are strapped for time and only have, say, 80 minutes: Get it? So, on the eve of 2017, I thought it would be fun to take a walk through one of the town’s most iconic areas— Times Square—and visit the ghosts of its past, present and future. I suspect even Scrooge would get a kick out of this.

Nutty Nutcrackers ‘Tis the season when visions of sugarplums dance in our heads, and performances of “The Nutcracker” dance on our stages. While the New York City Ballet’s classic production is always grand, there’s an assortment of great alternative versions.

“The Yorkville Nutcracker” (Dec. 8-11) imparts a Gothamesque stamp to the ballet. Set in 1895 NYC, this version uses actual people and settings of the period (Mayor Strong, a rural Bronx); dancers range from ballet students to pros. Kaye Playhouse at Hunter College, 695 Park Ave., 212.772.4448, dancespatrelle.org New York Theatre Ballet specializes in streamlined stories for the littlest balletomanes. Its version, dubbed “Keith Michael’s The Nutcracker” (Dec.

York

9–11) and set in the art nouveau era, runs only an hour, but packs in all the big turns. Florence Gould Hall, 55 E. 59th St., 212.355.6160, nytb .org/calendar Break dancing replaces ballet and the classic score is remixed with a DJ’s spun beats in “The Hip-Hop Nutcracker” (Dec. 3), in which the Land of Sweets is a dance club and the battle with the Rat King is narrated by Rap King Kurtis Blow. United Palace, 4140 Broadway, 212.568.1157, hiphopnutcracker.com Merge ballet with burlesque, and the result is something like “Nutcracker Rouge!” (thru Jan. 7).

HOLIDAY HAPPENINGS

Rockette Talk It’s a NYC holiday tradition: “The Radio City Christmas Spectacular,” starring those precision dancers, the Rockettes. We recently spoke with one, Torrie Bogda. BY TROY SEGAL on performing and being present for the audience.

Torrie Bogda

How has the show changed over the years?

The choreography gets more technically demanding, more athletic every year. And the numbers incorporate more state-of-the-art technology, because they’re constantly trying to update the show, making it more relevant to today’s audiences.

Do you have a favorite number?

I love the “Parade of the Wooden Soldiers”: Being part of a number that generations of Rockettes have performed since 1933 gives me chills.

But I also love “New York at Christmas.” We get on a double-decker bus onstage; there’s a giant video screen behind us; and the choreography is geared toward seeing the sights.

There are these high kicks, and fireworks going off [onscreen] … it’s the most exciting number for me.

What‘s your routine when you’re rehearsing the show?

We train like Olympic athletes. We rehearse for six weeks, six hours a day, six days a week. There’s a lot of conditioning, a lot of repetition, so that once the physical aspect of the show is taken care of, we can focus

Surely it’s not all work and no play, though?

I do feel it’s important to maintain balance. I live in L.A., and I love being in New York this time of year. My relatives fly in from all over the country to see me perform, and I often go out with them after the shows. In terms of restaurants, we try to stay in Midtown. My dad in particular requests going to The Capital Grille every time: It’s his tradition.

How do you spend your day off?

I’m bit of a nerd: I love to visit The Strand and read books. It’s actually the first place I go when I get to New York. Central Park is wonderful, and I’ve recently discovered Socrates Sculpture Park. And the fashion [exhibits] at the Metropolitan Museum of Art! As a Rockette, costumes have a strong pull for me.

Speaking of clothes, do you get into the stores much?

We Rockettes kind of shop off each other. We’ll see something that somebody bought at Aritzia or Topshop or one of the other Fifth Avenue stores, and we’ll all end up with the same pair of shoes or the same pants. We start dressing alike [offstage]—it’s a really funny thing.

What’s your idea of after-hours fun?

I’m in the morning cast, which has the 9 am show, so—not much nightlife! But seeing theater is one of my priorities. I have a friend in “Something Rotten!,” so I’ll definitely go to that, and she’ll come see me in the “Spectacular.”

Torrie Bogda’s NYC Faves Sight gags meet Shakespeare in “Something Rotten!” (St. James Theatre, 246 W. 44th St., 877.250.2929, rot tenbroadway.com), a musical set in Elizabethan England. Tomes new and used are a bargain at The Strand bookstore (828 Broadway, 212.473.1452, strandbooks .com). Experience natural and man-made beauty simultaneously at Socrates Sculpture Park (32-01 Vernon Boulevard, Long Island City, Queens, 718.956.1819, socra tessculpturepark.org), a park with contemporary art installations. Striking sartorial acquisitions by the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute (1000 Fifth Ave., 212.535.7710, met museum.org) are on display in “Masterworks: Unpacking Fashion” (thru Feb. 5, 2017).

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.

ABOUT SUBWAYS NYC Transit’s subway system operates 24 lines designated by either a route number or letter.

Serving 469 stations along 660.75 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 am.

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; you can also find one 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 am and 2 am. 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.

New York Your Way UNIQUE TRAVEL RECOMMENDATIONS, FIT TO MATCH YOUR PERSONAL STYLE.

Adventurers

Nightlife Lovers

History Buffs

At (1) “Sleep No More,” audience members don masks and wander around an abandoned hotel, catching scenes and characters reminiscent of the works of Alfred Hitchcock and William Shakespeare.

The bright-red (2) Roosevelt Island Tram transports you to Roosevelt Island (which offers riverside walks and parks) while providing aerial views of the East River and Upper East Side. (3) The Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum is housed on the actual USS Intrepid that was used in World War ll: That alone is worth the price of admission.

In clubby and chic (1) Pouring Ribbons, enjoy superbly crafted cocktails created by award-winning mixologists. Tanqueray and table tennis, anyone? (2) SPiN, co-owned by actress Susan Sarandon, is a sports club/lounge/bar that offers 17 table tennis courts, a full bar, live music, events and often a celebrity sighting or two. For the feel of a bona fide NYC nightclub with top-shelf entertainment, you’ll want to visit (3) Feinstein’s/54 Below. Performers this month include Gloria Reuben (Dec. 8) and Michael Feinstein himself (Dec. 15-18, 20-25, 27-30).

On a tour of their side-by-side flats, I was wowed by the stories and artifacts of two families at the (1) Tenement Museum: The Jewish Gumpertz family from the late-19th century and the Italian Baldizzi family from the 1930s. While I love all the exhibits and works on display at the (2) New-York Historical Society, I always find Thomas Crawford’s “Dying Chief Contemplating the Progress of Civilization” particularly poignant. Still one of the most popular guys in town, learn all about Founding Father Alexander Hamilton at the (3) Museum of American Finance.
