In these chilly days of winter, nothing beats wheretraveler.com/NYtours keeping warm at indoor city venues that offer up a sampling of our great cultural diversity. A trip to the Jewish Museum on Fifth Ave. is always a favorite, a former family mansion. A matinee of Edward Albee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play, A Delicate Balance, starring the indefatigable Glenn Close, is next on the agenda; and ending the day at the restaurant Robert, overlooking Central Park—well, that is edible culture at its finest in my book.

I learned a lot after seeing Helena Rubenstein: Beauty Is Power at the Jewish Museum. The cosmetics entrepreneur was an authentic trailblazer when it came to the very definition of Western beauty, urging women to develop their own personal style, trends be damned.

What happens when you take a great American drama about the complicated relationships between friends and family, and cast it with such luminaries as John Lithgow, Glenn Close and Lindsay Duncan? You get one splendid play at the John Golden Theatre.

How can you not love a restaurant that not only sits atop the Museum of Arts and Design overlooking Columbus Circle and the great expanse of Central Park, but also offers a “sunset menu” that includes scallops with chiffonade orchids as well as burrata with fresh figs?

Created in New York

New York is known for many things, but probably lesserknown is our creation of some foods which have now become staples around the country. Consider a visit downtown to one of New York’s most iconic restaurants, Delmonico’s (56 Beaver St., 212.509.1144), where dishes like baked Alaska and lobster Newberg were invented. Lobster Newberg, dating back to 1876, is shellfish set in a sauce of cream, sherry, cognac and pepper. Feel like a festive salad?

The Waldorf salad, created at the venerable Waldorf Astoria New York (301 Park Ave., 212.872.1275) in the 1890s, mixes candied walnuts, apples and greens with a delightfully light yogurt and crème fraîche dressing. Try it at Oscar’s American Brasserie, Peacock Alley or the Bull and Bear Prime Steakhouse, all located in the elegant hotel.

BREWS & BLOODYS

The Red Snapper

Looking for some authentic NYC beer? Take a tour and grab a pint at Brooklyn Brewery (79 N. 11th St., Williamsburg, Brooklyn, 718.486.7422).

Heartland Brewery (127 W. 43rd St., 646.366.0235) offers its own crafted suds at seven locations around the city.

Other favorite libations in the Big Apple are the light and dark ales found at McSorley’s Old Ale House, (15 E. 7th St., 212.473.9148) with a heritage dating back to 1854 and an ale brewed especially for the pub. And Houston Hall (222 W. Houston St., 212.675.9323), located in a 112-year-old garage-turned-beer-hall, offers 10 beers on tap from a brewery in Brooklyn.

Although the Bloody Mary is a worthy selection at many bars around the city, you should really pay homage to the “temple” where it was perfected, the King Cole Bar & Salon at the St. Regis Hotel (2 E. 55th St., 212.339. 6857).

Once named the Red Snapper, it was created 80 years ago by bartender Fernand Petiot: The original recipe of vodka, tomato juice, celery salt, pepper, lemon and Worcestershire sauce is still used. While you’re there, admire the restored mural that holds a secret only the bartenders can disclose.

DINING DISH

World-Renowned NYC Eats Go for the Dough

FOR YOUR SWEET TOOTH If your sweet tooth has started to rear its fangs, New York is long on treats with their own history.

• The 86-year-young Eisenberg’s Sandwich Shop (174 Fifth Ave., 212.675.5096) is a luncheonette oozing history. Try one of its refreshing egg creams (made with neither cream nor egg), a frothy drink made with Fox’s U-Bet syrup, icy cold milk and fountain seltzer. • Tucked behind Citi Field, Benfaremo Lemon Ice King of Corona (52-02 108th St., Corona, Queens, 718.699.5133) scoops out 40 flavors of the slushy, refreshing dessert. • Head to William Greenberg Desserts (1100 Madison Ave., 212.861.1340) for cake pops or a black & white, a cookie that’s made from vanilla cake dough and frosted on one half with soft vanilla fondant and on the other with chocolate fondant. For the kids, there are even mini versions. • While Junior’s has locations in Manhattan, the original is in Brooklyn (386 Flatbush Ave. Extension, 718.852.5257). The must-order here is the phenomenal cheesecake, made with cream cheese rather than ricotta. Order a slice of the strawberry cheesecake with glazed whole strawberries on top. You’ll immediately have a whole cake shipped home.

• If you’re still hungering for carbs, stop by Yonah Schimmel’s Knish Bakery (137 East Houston St., 212.477.2858) for another New York classic, the knish.

Baked fresh on premises with a variety of fillings, the knish is a potato- or sweet cheese-based pastrylike finger snack. Yonah Schimmel’s has been doling them out for 105 years.

Grab a Dr. Brown’s Cel-Ray soda to wash them down.

• Simply put, the best bagels in the world are found in New York, made with a crisp outside and chewy inside. H&H (1551 Second Ave., 212.734.7441) has been supplying the city with these gems for more than 40 years. Choose from 19 varieties that have just been boiled and baked on burlap-covered boards.

John’s of Bleecker Street

• Finally, discussion is ongoing among city foodies as to where to get the truest, purest pizza.

Quality pizza can be found in many spots around town, but, in my opinion, first prize goes to John’s Pizzeria (278 Bleecker St., 212.243.1680). Baked in a coal-fired brick oven as has been done for over 75 years, John’s thin-crust tomato sauce and mozzarella pizza can be further enhanced with a variety of toppings, including garlic and sausage. No slices, no reservations, cash only.

Cake pops at William Greenberg Desserts

Another one of the city’s iconic foods is the pretzel, which you can nab from a NYC sidewalk cart on practically any corner in Midtown. You can usually get it with salt or without, cold or hot, and a dollop of mustard makes it even better. But if you are looking for a singular pretzel experience, Sigmund’s Pretzels (29 Ave. B, 646.410.0333) in Alphabet City has made this favorite that much better.

Buy a beer during happy hour and you’ll get one of the hand-rolled German pretzels free. Following a recipe dating back a century but modernized with six flavor choices, the soft pretzels give you a good reason to throw back those cold ones. Be sure to dip the pretzels in Sigmund’s homemade whole grain mustard to enhance their doughy center, or try them with beet and horseradish sauce.

Katz’s Delicatessen

A sandwich, Carnegie Deli-style.

The Deli Sandwich There’s nowhere like New York City when it comes to dining options, casual food to fine dining and everything in between. And one of those classic “in-betweens” is the New York deli, an institution that is embedded in popular culture and loved by natives and visitors alike. A trip to a NYC deli is something that should not be missed.

Caption 7 pt, Myriad Pro Semibold Semi-extended Caption 7/9pt, Avenir Medium flush

KING KATZ Often, visitors crave dishes made famous in iconic New York City movies and TV shows. “I’ll have what she’s having,” trills the woman sitting next to Meg Ryan at Katz’s Delicatessen (205 E. Houston St., 212.254.2246) in When Harry Met Sally. So, if you make your way to this historic deli, what will you be having? What gets my vote is the oversize hot pastrami sandwich, served on rye bread, with a little mustard or Russian dressing. Have a side of juicy pickles with it for the full experience.

The corned beef is equally ambrosial, and both hearken back to Katz’s opening in 1888.

CZAR ZABAR Zabar’s (2245 Broadway, 212.787.2000) is the spot when it comes to what we

call “appetizing.” Start with a tasting at the smoked fish counter, sampling Scotch-cured salmon or a piece of smoked whitefish.

At Zabar’s Café next door, enjoy a bagel with Nova and a schmear (of cream cheese) in a sit-down setting: Try and grab a table by the window, where you can happily munch away while people-watching.

ROYAL REUBEN The Carnegie Deli (854 Seventh Ave., 212.757.2245), near (you guessed it) Carnegie Hall, is world-famous for its Reuben sandwich. For $27.99, you get an open-faced sandwich with a staggering amount of corned beef, pastrami or turkey, melted Swiss cheese and sauerkraut. The price is steep, but the sandwich will fill you up for the day. w w w.wh e re t rave le r.c o m

[Where inside]

new York My perfect day Morning I wake up to my husband who brings me a delicious cup of coffee in bed.

Not one, but two. Then, some exercise.

Walk the dog in Prospect Park. Perhaps a bike ride. I love the Grand Army Plaza Greenmarket there.

Afternoon To Manhattan! I like to take the subway. My husband and I love Bar Pitti in the West Village and Il Posto Accanto in the East Village. Century 21 for cheap shopping because I refuse to spend top dollar. I like to stumble upon places in Williamsburg, too. Go to the Brooklyn Flea.

Debi Mazar

[Actor, co -host of ex tra Virgin on the Cook ing Channel] She’s appeared in megahit films, from Goodfellas to Batman Forever. Now, she plays a spunky Brooklynite in Younger, a TV Land sitcom that debuts on Mar. 31. Debi Mazar talks life in the “outer boroughs,” travel and what it was like to do NYC with Madonna in the 1980s.—William Frierson Like your character in Younger, you live in Brooklyn. What’s your take on the hype surrounding the borough? It’s funny. I’ve always thought Brooklyn was hip and great, even when it was teeming with drug dealers and burnt-down buildings.

It had character. These days, it’s much more expensive to buy/rent, but there’s a lot of great new stores and experiences. I’m living where I always wanted to be, my hometown.

Coming from Manhattan, I cross the Brooklyn Bridge headed to Park Slope and just go, “Ahhhh!”

You have an iconic “Noo Yawk” accent. Has it helped or hindered your career? Both! First of all, I don’t even like my accent and why it’s so heavy is beyond me. I’ve been called

“bridge and tunnel.” But, hey, I grew up in Queens and Brooklyn! I’ve been typecast. Is it a bad thing? Yes. A good thing? Yes. Can I change it? Yes. Do I want to? No. Here, I sound like everybody else. I don’t get called out on it much. There are distinct sounds to the Bronx, Long Island, Brooklyn and Queens. In Goodfellas, I played a Long Island/Jewish type, and it launched my career.

What inspired your return to NYC from LA? My kids. I brought my children back to NYC because I wanted them to go to Lincoln Center, to museums. I love the Met. MoMA’s The Modern restaurant and MoMA PS1 in Queens. The Bronx Museum of the Arts, even. I love museums period. I go to the American Museum of Natu-

Evening I like Sheepsheads Bay down by the Verrazano Bridge. It looks like a string of pearls at night. Maybe dinner at Bushwick’s Roberta’s—love that pizza.

ral History—I’m corny and love all the dinosaurs and Hayden Planetarium.

Tell us about your party days with Madonna in 1980s NYC. In many ways, I was like a cockroach: I knew the underbelly of NYC like the back of my hand. Remember: Then-Madonna wasn’t the Madonna we know today. She was raw, more niche. She had this crappy, little apartment on the Lower East Side. We’d go dancing: two cute girls in their early 20s, at places like Paradise Garage and The Sound Factory Bar. My boyfriend was a graffiti artist in the South Bronx.
