80 Minutes of Bliss It was 80 years ago that Where magazine was launched (in Detroit, Michigan), and to celebrate this fact, I will be picking a favorite NYC venue to spend 80 minutes in throughout the year: sometimes a museum, sometimes a restaurant, sometimes a shop and sometimes a mix of several things! (I am a New Yorker, after all, and we are proud of being known as the kingpins of multitasking.) This month, I invite you to relax with me in the lounges of the NoMad restaurant, where anyone would be happy taking up residence for an hour or so in one of the lovely spaces.

The feel in The Parlour is that of an early-20thcentury European estate, and, considering my recent obsession with the PBS series “Downton Abbey,” it suits me well. The richly textured furnishings and dark oak details exude a kind of genteel atmosphere, perfect for

UPPER EAST SIDE Speakeasy-like Seamstress (339 E. 75th St., 212.288.8033, seamstressny.com) hosts a new menu with creative plates like a cured and braised pork shank with pickled bush tomato. Don’t skip the cocktails either! Take a peek at young, edgy women’s fashion in clothing boutique Sam & Lex (860 Lexington Ave., 212.585.3111, samandlexboutique.com). For a menu that mirrors the melting pot of New York, grab lunch at 5Napkin Burger (1325 Second Ave., 212.249.0777, 5napkinburger .com), a fine-casual burger spot with the influence of ethnic cuisines. But if you came to the Upper East Side for its impeccable elite traditions, try Vaucluse (100 E. 63rd St., 646.869.2300, vauclusenyc.com), serving French haute cuisine. MIDTOWN While sightseeing in Midtown, try Jams (1414 Sixth Ave., 212.703.2007, 1hotels .com), offering classic dishes like grilled chicken with tarragon butter. Stop by the new Furla store (645 Fifth Ave., 212.572.9945, visit5th avenue.com/furla) and pick up a leather handbag or pair of stylish shoes. The new flagship from Microsoft (677 Fifth Ave., 212.824.3100, microsoftstore .com), with events and workshops, is worth a visit. Afterward, take home a watch crafted with exceptional Swiss quality at Roger Dubuis (545 Madison Ave., 212.651.3773, rogerdubuis .com). Then, nearby Bottle & Bine (1085 Second Ave., no phone, bottleandbine.com) offers Americana craft wine and beer and a New Ameri-

can menu. For Chinese fare, try the fine-casual Fuku+ (15 W. 56th St., 212.974.5656, momofuku.com). NOMAD NoMad invites visitors to slow down at the elegant Rizzoli Bookstore (1133 Broadway, 212.759.2424, rizzolibookstore.com). When hunger kicks in after a day of perusing books, look for the Black Barn (19 E. 26th St., 212.265.5959, blackbarn restaurant.com) for locally sourced American fare from the former chef at the Waldorf Astoria. WEST VILLAGE Famed Philadelphia chef Eli Kulp and longtime restaurateur Ellen Yin open their highly anticipated restaurant High St. on Hudson (637 Hudson St., no phone,

Before dinner, scan the collectibles at lifestyle boutique Calliope (349 W. 12th St., 646.517.2948, wel cometocalliope.com), and visit WANT Les Essentiels (301 W. 4th St., 646.398.7584, wantlesessentiels.com), a clothing boutique inspired by the functionality of travel, to find a piece perfect for the trip home. SOHO Check out recently opened Michael Kors SoHo (520 Broadway, 212.336.4501, mi

Petite Cocotte (110 Thompson St., 212.965.9101, cocotte-ny .com), right next door to French resto Cocotte, is an intimate tapas-style restaurant inspired by the Basque country. For beerand-burger types, Black Tap Down (529 Broome St., 917.639.3089, blacktapnyc .com) boasts 16 craft beers mostly from New York and the tri-state area, along with several takes on a wellcrafted American burger. NOLITA In Lower Manhattan. Eleven Paris (6 Prince St., 212.966.3856, elevenparis .com), a French clothing boutique, just moved in near Rebelle (218 Bowery, 917.639.3880, rebellenyc .com). Rebelle earned its first Michelin star this year, with a French-inspired menu offering ingredients like leeks, duck and quince. LOWER EAST SIDE/ EAST VILLAGE For dinner, Timna (109 St. Marks Pl., 646.964.5181, timna.nyc), a modern Israeli café, just settled in on iconic St. Marks Place, bringing inventive plates like shrimp kebab with goatcheese-eggplant mousse. Pizza Beach (167 Orchard St., 646.852.6652, pizza beachclub.com) takes

famous New York pizza and updates it with healthy ingredients like kale and squash. Shop for clothes at graffiti artist Claw Money’s Claw & Co (101 Delancey St., 212.995.2440, clawandco.com), and take home a piece of New York street style. Just around the corner, Lucky Bee (252 Broome St., 917.262.0329, luckybeenyc.com) is a must for anyone who likes “spicy, sustainable Southeast Asian street food,” as described on the restaurant’s website. BROOKLYN Brooklyn, the borough on everyone’s radar these days, deserves a day in the travel itinerary. In Williamsburg, look for Brooklyn Spectacles (209 Bedford Ave., 718.388.7088, brooklynspectacles.com) and take home a pair of glasses inspired by the Brooklyn Bridge or Brooklyn’s brown-

stones. In Bushwick, at the Syndicated (46 Bogart St., no phone, syndicatedbk .com), a movie theater, bar and kitchen, moviegoers can order food and drinks from their seats.

MORE WHAT’S NEW

Retro Eats, Modern Boutique

For the taste of a classic deli, head to Harry & Ida’s; for of-the-moment fashion trends, check out chic new Japanese shop, Tomorrowland.

An Oh-So-Vogue Shop

Named a “shrine to all things cool and impeccably eccentric” by Vogue.com, this high-end boutique for mens- and womenswear, jewelry and home goods, created waves with its opening in SoHo. From the instant you walk in, an effortless, functional chic radiates from Tomorrowland. Slouchy cable-knit sweaters; oversize creatively cut peacoats; and sleek, straight-leg men’s pants depend on tight tailoring to pull together the casual, cool effect that pervades this brand.

The pastrami sandwich at Harry & Ida’s

A DELI REINCARNATED Harry and Ida Zinn were two Hungarian immigrants in New York in the early 1900s when they opened their delicatessen. Little did they know, their great-grandchildren—Will Horowitz and his sister, Julie—would reincarnate the traditions of old in a locale inspired by that very same food. Joined by chefs Chaz Lindsay and Jonathan Botta, the team runs this new shop the “old way”—in-house with “our own two hands,” Horowitz says. They even use Harry and Ida’s original butcher knives. But their willingness to also experiment is what makes their deli so popular. Dishes include a smoked eel sandwich with smoked butter, maple sauce, parsnip, onion and horseradish relish, and possibly the best pastrami sandwich in New York, topped with buttermilk-fermented cucumber. You will also find a creative outlook of what’s to come. “Who knows, maybe next year we’ll be selling fermented jellied eel and meat pies!” Horowitz (seemingly) jokes. Harry & Ida’s Meat and Supply Co., 189 Ave. A., 646.864.0967, meatandsupplyco.com—A.S.

Tomorrowland, already well known in Japan with several retail locations, offers its own brand as well as that of designers like Jean-Paul Knott, Shihara, Satomi Kawakita Jewelry, Siri Siri, Hum Creative, Laurence Brabant Editions, Le Typographe, Arquiste and WANT Les Essentiels. (WANT Les Essentiels, a line of apparel inspired by travel, recently opened its own new store in the West Village: See article on p. 9). The Tomorrowland store itself, outfitted with sleek, Japanese-designed and created furniture, is worth a visit, but if you can’t make it to SoHo, you can also check out the Tomorrowland Collection at Bergdorf Goodman in Midtown. 476 Broome St., 929.248.8178, tomorrowland.nyc; 754 Fifth Ave., 212.753.7300, bergdorfgoodman.com—A.S.

Easily tackled in an afternoon, the block of Elizabeth Street between Prince & E. Houston sts. is a gold mine for shoppers of any budget or style. You’ll find the most creative shoes in the city at BucketFeet (266 Elizabeth, 212.226.8102, bucketfeet.com), which commissions artists from around the world to design prints on sneakers for men, women and kids. Pick up a heritage leather bag that will last for years, along with cabin-friendly socks, lounge clothes and outerwear at Roots (228 Elizabeth, 646.833.7417, roots.com).

Thomas Sires (243 Elizabeth, 646.692.4472, thomassires.tumblr.com) is a treasure trove of toys and knickknacks from around the world, along with eclectic accessories and apparel. Le Labo (233 Elizabeth, 212.219.2230, lelabofragrances.com) blends unisex fragrances to order. Women can find athleisure clothing from Tory Burch at the designer’s sport pop-up shop (257 Elizabeth, 212.334.3000, toryburch.com), dresses from contemporary international labels at Babel Fair (260 Elizabeth, 646.360.3685, babelfair.com), and fine jewelry with edgy flair at Love Adorned (269 Elizabeth, 212.431.5683, loveadorned.com).—Joni Sweet

WHERE NOW New

BY BRIAN SCOTT LIPTON When January gets gray and bitter, I need to be surrounded by pretty things to bring in the sunshine. So, recently, I paid a visit to the Anna Wintour Costume Center at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (1000 Fifth Ave., 212.535.7710, metmuseum.org), currently hosting “Jacqueline de Ribes: The Art of Style.” This beautifully curated glimpse into the life of the Parisian tastemaker-turned-designer has something stunning everywhere you turn: from the dresses she made in the 1980s and 1990s in jewel-toned colors that showed her mastery of draping, to the decades of haute couture creations she collected, representing the best of such geniuses as Giorgio Armani, Valentino and Yves Saint Laurent. Many of these gems were specifically tailored by the lady herself to fit her peerless figure, or refashioned with just the right detail to make the garment a showstopper. Afterward, I decided to head over to E.A.T. Gifts (1062 Madison Ave., 212.628.1625, no website). At this filled-to-the-brim novelty shop (connected to Eli Zabar’s Jacqueline de Ribes aptly-named E.A.T.), I looked at ceramic card trays, a cheerful stapler decorated with a sky motif, a wide variety of journals, children’s toys, and seemingly every gizmo on the planet!

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 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 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 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.

[Where iNside]

My New York My perfect day Morning My family and I would get up and have breakfast, grab something from a New York street vendor. We would probably wander through Central Park and then go to the Empire State Building. If it was early enough, we might want to see if we can check out “The Today Show” at Rockefeller Center.

Midday We would visit the Statue of Liberty, find a pizzeria in Times Square to eat some real NYC pizza, and go see a Broadway play. I would also like to visit the National September 11 Memorial and pay our respects to all the fallen heroes.

Jamie Dailey [Country music ar tist]

Jamie Dailey (above, left), who lives in Brentwood, Tennessee, is one-half of Dailey & Vincent, the famed bluegrass/country band, based in Nashville. Dailey, who plays guitar, banjo and sings, is performing with Darrin Vincent (above, right) and their band on Jan. 25 at Carnegie Hall. How do you feel about playing in Carnegie Hall this month? It’s a dream come true for us! We have worked and practiced for years, praying and hoping for an opportunity to be able to perform our music at America’s—no, it’s bigger than that—one of the world’s most prestigious landmarks, Carnegie Hall. How do you think you developed your passion for singing and playing country/bluegrass? We grew up picking at guitars and banjos and singing at a very young age—2 or 3 years old—and then spent years working on perfecting the gifts the Lord has given us. Being able to write music that has a positive impact on lives makes us feel blessed to be a part of the arts.

What are you guys working on? We are currently finishing up our first season of a half-hour television show on RFD-TV called “The Dailey & Vincent Show.” It’s a variety show that features both food and music. We invite guest artists, like the Oak Ridge Boys and Tanya Tucker, and chefs from around the U.S. to come cook up their favorite recipes. As someone from the South, what do you think of our city? We love NYC. Times Square has an energy you just can’t find anywhere else in the world. Walking down Fifth Avenue, seeing the “Charging Bull” sculpture near Wall Street, Liberty Island, eating at the Dunhill Cafe or John’s Pizzeria: It’s all terrific! And, despite popular belief, there are some

Evening We’d take a ride on the Staten Island Ferry, or check out a musical act at The Bitter End. Then, find a great ice-cream spot to finish off the day!

really great Southern restaurants in NYC. One we like in particular is The Soul Spot in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn. How would you describe the main differences between NYC and a Southern city? It has lots of people, and huge buildings! Nashville, while it is growing, still manages to maintain its Southern charms. New York is a great escape for me when I am looking to get lost and I want to envelop myself in tons of culture.
