The New York City Diet New York City is the easiest—and the hardest—place to lose weight. Easiest because people walk everywhere here: You can get your pedometer up to 10,000 steps in no time. Conversely, with the mindnumbing food choices available in the roughly 18,000 restaurants here offering every imaginable cuisine, you may think your willpower needs to be akin to that of a Navy SEAL in training to get through this city and go home fitting into the same jeans. But, if you are determined to leave a few pounds thinner, try my pre-holiday diet tips, below! For my full New York itinerary, go to wheretraveler.com.

>> AFTERNOON Livestrong.com states that “sushi comes pretty close to being the perfect weight-loss food.” Fresh, minimally processed fish, steamed rice and veggies: In my book, that rates yummy and ridiculously healthy. My favorite places for sushi? Atlantic Grill, Nobu, Sushi Zen, Blue Ribbon Sushi and Tomoe Sushi.

>> EVENING OK, so you’ve done your cardio via the bike and want to get some strength training in. No worries: Most hotels in the city offer some kind of gym or workout room, and you can also purchase a day pass at several clubs around the city, including David Barton Gym, Exceed Physical Culture and Chelsea Piers.

High-end food halls, offering a variety of cuisines, fine wines, craft beers and even retail areas, are all the rage in the Big Apple. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a look at our top offerings. BY LEE HOWARD

10/7/15 4:32:26 PM

New Yorkers are hungry for European-style food halls, where they happily share tables with strangers. Lively indoor culinary marketplaces with open kitchens have grabbed the attention of both locals and visitors as of late. Here they choose from multiple vendors and cuisines, appealing to the city’s eclectic mix. Check out some of these prime destinations for your own slice of foodie heaven.

Salmon from Donostia at Gansevoort

GANSEVOORT MARKET A large skylight illuminates the communal wooden tables at Gansevoort Market. Tacombi sells tacos out of a converted Volkswagen van; for seafood, try Ed’s Lobster Bar. 52 Gansevoort St., no phone

URBANSPACE VANDERBILT Directly across from Grand Central Terminal, this bustling center offers artisanal baked goods, seafood (Red Hook Lobster Pound), pizza from Roberta‘s and Greek offerings at Amali Mou, where you can sip on a complimentary glass of wine while waiting for your housemade gyros. 230 Park Ave., 212.529.9262

GOTHAM WEST MARKET Dining at long benches makes for a cozy mealtime at this intimate, industrial-style food hall. Check out The Cannibal, a beer and butcher shop specializing in charcuterie and small plates; and El Colmado, serving classic Spanish tapas. 600 11th Ave., 212.582.7940 LE DISTRICT Near the World Trade Center site is this sleekly designed grocery, café and patisserie. Circular wine bar Le Comptoir serves champagne and oysters right next to a boucherie cooking up steak frites, andouille sausage and more. 225 Liberty St., 212.981.8588

City Kitchen

CITY KITCHEN On the second floor of the Row NYC hotel, this corner venue offers truffle cheddar pretzels from Sigmund’s Cart and ramen from Kuro Obi. White subway tiles and reclaimed wood give a distinctly New York look to the space. 700 Eighth Ave., 646.863.0901

The Plaza Food Hall

TODD ENGLISH/PLAZA HOTEL FOOD HALLS Food halls are so in vogue they’ve displaced former fashion boutiques in the basement of the Plaza Hotel, where you’ll find two: the Todd English Food Hall and, on the same floor, the hotel’s own Food Hall, which offers open-face sandwiches from Tartinery, such as roasted pear with melted Fourme d’Ambert blue cheese, honey, walnut and arugula on sourdough. 768 Fifth Ave., 212.759.3000 EATALY Celebrity chefs Mario Batali and Lidia Bastianich are partners in Eataly, where their cookbooks jostle for space alongside fresh produce. Try a shared salami and cheese platter in La Piazza: Ornate marble alcoves and mosaic-tiled floors evoke a visit to Rome. 200 Fifth Ave., 212.229.2560

TODD ENGLISH The celebrity chef explains what it takes to open a food hall in New York. “After seeing classic food halls in Europe like Harrods, I wanted to open one. I wanted to make it more about a world experience for the melting pot that New York is. In our seated area, you can pretty much get anything you want from anywhere in each station. That sets us apart. Food is the new fashion. People meander through the food hall, discovering different things. When I opened my first restaurant in 1989, we had a communal table, where people told me Caption 7 pt, Myriad Pro Semithey’d made longtime friends. Caption Thisbold wasSemi-extended well before social 7/9pt, Avenir Medium flush media. Now, I think, people are more used to the idea of the communal way of living. ”There’s also a growing interest in people wanting to know more about food and cooking. At the open kitchens in the food hall, people feel good about watching their food getting prepared. My kids—millennials—are growing up with a lot more knowledge about food. My son, Oliver, who is 25, is in the business with me. “I really relish learning new things, too. New Yorkers are demanding, rightly so, because they know what’s going on. We, as restaurateurs, have to respond to that. “The other day, someone introduced me as a “restaurateer”—which I kind of like! It’s more appropriate, like a musketeer—because you really have to fight, every day, to try and be innovative.”

That’s Retailtainment!

Our stores are not just retail destinations: They can be entertaiment themselves! M&M’S WORLD The 24,000-square-foot, colorful “glass box” of what is arguably the most beloved candy in the world offers a lot more than just the iconic button-shape shells filled with chocolate. The store, which has a 50-foot, “wall of chocolate” made up of 72 candy filled tubes, also sells themed clothing, dishes, watches and more. And the kids will love this: The Personalized Printer allows shoppers to create customized M&M’s in the store, using images or personal greetings for their candies. 1600 Broadway, 212.295.3850

NIKETOWN Whether you are a serious athlete or a follower of the current sneaker-as-fashion-statement craze, you will want to stop in at this towering temple to all things sporty. The second and third floors have treadmills for joggers to test out running shoes while sales specialists do a running analysis; the fourth floor has a basketball cage, where kids can try on shoes, run around and shoot a few hoops. And, needless to say, the sneaker selection is insane. 6 E. 57th St., 212.891.6453 TOYS ‘R’ US The company’s international flagship store in Times Square is a 110,000-square-foot temple to tots. A 60-foot indoor Ferris wheel lets you ride in 14 individually themed cabs (Barbie, Cabbage Patch Kids, ScoobyDoo, etc.); and in the Jurassic Park area, the 34-foot-long

animatronic T. Rex lets out a mighty roar. Right behind the dinosaur, you’ll find kits and tools that teach children about excavating dinosaur fossils. 1514 Broadway, 646.366.8800 BOOKSTORES Along with both mass-market and rare titles, many bookstores offer free lectures and events. On Nov. 9, the Strand presents actor John Leguizamo reading from his new graphic novel, Ghetto Klown!

Showstoppers! When Saturday Night Live first aired on television in 1975, New Yorkers became instantly addicted: Who could be without the Conehead family or Chevy Chase as a bumbling Gerald Ford? At Saturday Night Live: The Exhibition, videos highlight SNL’s greatest moments, but it also pays homage to the writers, costume designers and actors of the comedy show. Scripts, rewritten up until the last minute, give you a glimpse into how much sweat and toil went into the productions. If you love SNL, this is a must-visit. 417 Fifth Ave., 646.979.4120

Michael Flatley’s hypnotic Irish dance propels the spectacle of Lord of the Dance: Dangerous Games (above, left, p. 17), while the balletic grace of Christopher Wheeldon’s Tony Award-winning choreography infuses An American in Paris (above, center, p. 18) with a sinuous elegance. The hot Havana rhythms and Miami sound of Gloria Estefan pulsate throughout On Your Feet! (above, right, p. 17), the biomusical about the superstar’s life and career, leaving audiences no option but to form a Conga line and dance in the aisles and out into Times Square.

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 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.

[WHERE INSIDE]

My New York improvisational, I will not know what I am going to say until about 7:58 p.m. New York audiences are smart and very difficult to shock. I have my work cut out for me. You’re a Midwesterner: How would you describe coming to New York City when you first started in show business? As I am from Forest Park, Illinois, you New Yorkers must understand that New York City felt like Mars to me the first time I came here for work. I was a freckly, wiry-haired redhead who was walking around the city like Crocodile Dundee.

MY PERFECT DAY Morning Well, I’m a comic, so my mornings start at around noon. I love the breakfast at Norma’s at Le Parker Meridien in Midtown. Keep in mind, you can go to [the] Dominique Ansel [bakery] a couple of hours after they open and they will have run out of cronuts. But they have a very decadent selection of second choices. Avocado toast might sound boring until you’ve had Dominique make it for you.

Afternoon

Kathy Griffin [Comedian]

In 2013, Kathy Griffin was inducted into the Guinness Book of World Records for starring in 20 televised stand-up specials, more than any other comedian in history. She has penned a memoir, appeared on TV shows including Seinfeld and Law and Order: SVU, and is performing at Carnegie Hall on Nov. 12 as part of the New York Comedy Festival. She recently chatted with us about the Kardashians and wearing flats in Lower Manhattan. You’ve done it before, but are you excited about appearing at Carnegie Hall for the comedy festival? It’s the one and only Carnegie Hall! I highly doubt future President Trump will attend, although, doing an 80city tour certainly puts me everywhere in the “Real America.” I will have stories from all over the country, including towns neither one of us has heard of. This show will be so

Favorite places here in New York? I love the pizza at Rubirosa on Mulberry St. I’ve become a Downtown person. I think I may gravitate to the Downtown area more now because it is acceptable for a woman to wear flats. New York is a great walking city, and God love Sarah Jessica Parker, but I do not know how she or Blake Lively walks more than three feet in heels. I mean, can’t you just get the groceries in your sneakers, ladies? Hook a sister up!

Call my 95-year-old alcoholic mother Maggie and see how far down her box of wine she is. Once I find out she’s okay, it’s time for a nice, long walk. You’re in NYC, for goodness sake! Walk around Central Park—you heard me—all around the park! You will see outdoor yoga classes, people on a bench that have probably met through Tinder, and one of my personal favorites: single dads with three screaming children. Never gets old!

What are three “must-dos” for a visitor here? 1. Go see Kathy Griffin. I hear she’s at Carnegie Hall on Nov. 12 and she’s hilarious. 2. Don’t look anyone in the eye on the subway. Least of all Anderson Cooper. 3. Walk the Brooklyn Bridge with the Kardashian of your choice. They are all over the place. It’ll be easy.

If it’s Nov. 12 and it’s 8 p.m., you are at my show at Carnegie Hall. If it is any other night, you are either sobbing because you have not purchased tickets to my show yet or furiously calling Mayor de Blasio to beg for house seats for my show. Other than that, I’d go with a Broadway show, an Off-Broadway show, a piano bar or, hell, screw all of it and just go to drag night at the gay bar of your choice!
