EDITOR’S ITINERARY
YOUR TRAVEL ING COMPANION SINCE 1936®
LOIS LEVINE
A Luxe Lower East Side The Lower East Side—once known as an enclave for poor immigrants living in cramped quarters, Yiddish theater and pushcart vendors— has undergone a sea change in recent years. Dilapidated storefronts have morphed into chic boutiques, hipster restaurants, music clubs and art galleries, making this area of town one of the most desired places to live—and visit. For me, an early fall stroll in this neighborhood might very well wind up taking me to these three unique venues. For my full New York itinerary, go to wheretraveler.com.

A recent trip to the Tenement Museum not only exposed me to the tenement dwellings of two former families (one from the 1870s, one from the 1930s), but also filled me with my own family memories: My Rumanian-born father was raised in this area, too.
It‘s a boutique! It’s a bar! And it’s in NYC—so naturally it’s both! The Dressing Room Bar and Boutique has actually three identities: a shop representing the city’s up-and-coming designers, a casual cocktail lounge and a vintage and secondhand clothing exchange.
Dinner on Ludlow not only serves inventive American comfort food, but also multitasks as a nightclub. Decorated in glamour Goth (oversize chandeliers, ornate metal filigree), the restaurant’s spacious thirdfloor lounge has a DJ spinning tunes well into the night.

ew York,, if nothing else, is a living city. Yet, as Halloween’s dark shadow looms (Oct. 31), the dead are taking g over—on the cultural circuit, at least. The holiday has always been n a haunted one, beginning as a pagan Celtic ritual to celebraate the closing of harvest, a perriod of seasonal change that was believed to open a portal in nto the realm of the dead—an interval when ghosts and sp pirits could mingle with the e living. The proximity of Día de los Muertos (Nov. 1), or Day of the Dead, a festival honoring the deceased dating back to o pre-Columbian Central America, further affirms that there’s something cryp ptic in the air this time of year. This morbid fascination lives on as artifacts and exhibits on display this month provide a link back to long-perish hed people and traditions. This month’s cultural offerings are deligh htfully creepy: captivattingly so. These experriences—from muse eums to auctions to o retail—are to die for. Death is a part of life. So is mourning, and the world’s cultures have crafted d Even fully armored, the fearsome Japanese samurai were always ready for death. A suit of armor, part of the Art of the Samurai auction at Bonhams, goes on the block Oct. 27.

varied ways of coping with the pain. The Dani tribe of West Papua, New G Guinea, are known to partially amputate the eir fingers after a loved one’s passing, while Tibetan Buddhists prepare “sky burials,,” in which the dead are returned uncovered to the natural elements. Fo or Western cultures in the 19th and early 20th centuries, mourning was w partly about dressing the paart, especially for upper-class women. w This curious crosssover between high fashion and the fi nal farewell is explored in The Metropolitan n Museum of Art’s (1000 Fifth Ave., at 82nd St., 212.535.7710) exhibit Death Becomes Her: A Century of Mourning Attire (thru Feb. 1), where some 30 dresses dated between 1815 and 1915— many of which haave never been exhibited— —illustrate an evolution of sarto orial standards for outwardly communic cating inner grief. The e garments range from m austere to ornate to o Addams Family-esqu ue. Black dominates the showcase (whicch forced designers to focus more on form f and fabric than n pattern and color)), but as the chro nological presentatio on reveals, shades of gray and mauve were eased d into acceptance. One can onlyy imagine that, when you’re exp pected to mourn for two years, draping yourself in sequined chiffon makes the whole affair a touch lesss grim.

A sample of earth from a possible site of the biblical cities of Sodom and Gomorrah from A Natural History of Death at Mmuseumm.
Gravesites are universally sacred places, but New York City has a checkered past in that regard—many of her landmark locales were built ilt atop forgotten African-American burial groun nds dating back gton Square to the 1700s, from Washing Park to the Waldorf Astoria New York to LaGuardia Airport. Giving credence to such sacred ground is the e central focus of A Natural History of Death at Mmuseumm (Cortlan nd Alley, btw Franklin & White e sts., www.mmuseumm.com), an off-the-beaten-path cu uriosity showroom hidden down a TriBeCa alleyway. Inside,, you’ll fi nd the specimens of anthropologist Ken Brecher: vials filled with dirt, ash, water, ston ne and
found objects from signifi cant deaths and fatal circumstances throughout history. The samples cover a range of period periods and types of tragedy, from stones taken from the entrance to Egyptian King Tut’ss tomb to dirt from concentration camps in Auschwitz, Poland, to scrapss sourced from Ground Zero, the site s of the fallen World Trade Center towers. It’s not all so somber, though. t Also on view this season are a 200 New Delhi mosquitoes swattted mid-bite and a 3-D-printed copy of o a 3-million-year-old, premodern hum man skull. A carved, cast-resin skull from Evolution SoHo, inspired by the sugar skulls popular during Día de los Muertos.

WHERE NOW New
With its name alone, The Museum of Morbid Anatomy (424A 3rd Ave., at 7th St., Gowanus, Brooklyn, 347.799.1017) sends shivers down spines. Upon entry, you’ll be delightfully mortified: Three floors are filled with tomes on medical history, death rituals and esoterica. Animal fetuses float in jars next to anatomical mo odels of severed human limbs. The Art of Mourning, the current exhibit (on view thru Dec. 4), recreates a Victorian mourn ning parlor, with postmortem photog graphs, death masks and persona al mementos from the period (thin nk: real locks of the dead one’s ha air stored in keepsake boxes). A fulll calendar of gravely interesting ev vents keeps enthusiasts engaged d—from a a Muerte, a screening of La Santa documentary about Mexican death worshippers (Occt. 3, 8-11 p.m.), to a chicken ta axidermy class, where participants take home their creations (Oct. 4, noon-6 p.m.), to “Spiriits and Ghosts I Have Known n and Loved,” an illustrated d lecture on ghost hunting g (Oct. 28, 8-11 p.m.). Sometimes, even in death, the body lives fore ever. The Mummy Chamber at the Brooklyn Museum (2 200 Eastern Pkwy., at Wash hington Ave., Brooklyn, 718.63 38.5000) offers opportunities to o gawk at the eternally presserved, but oddity shops around the city let you take th he undead home with you.

Obscura Antiques & Oddities (207 Ave Ave. A A, btw E E. 12th & E E. 13th sts sts., 212 212.505.9251) 505 9251) looks like the lair of a madman, featuring bottled giant centipedes, monkey heads in jars, satchels made from tanned buffalo scrotums and a slew of taxidermied critters. Nothing like a stuffed carcass to make your living room feel more alive. Local auction houses are keeping up the bone chill, with sales highlighting cryptic art and artifacts. Georges Rouault’s “Miserere”—on view at Christie’s (20 Rockefeller Plz., btw Fifth & Sixth aves., 212.636.2000) Oct. 18-22—conveys human suffering in grays and blacks and a somber Jesus Christ. Bonhams’ (580 Madison Ave., at E. 56th St., 212.644.9001) Art of the Samurai auction (Oct. 27) offers the chance to bid on suits of armor owned by the most fearsome warriors in Asian history, who, as Edo samurai Daidoji Yuzan wrote, “must before all things keep constantly in mind … the fact that he has to die.” Jerry Uelsmann’s “Untitled (House With Roots)”—part of Swann Auction Galleries’ (104 E. 25th St., at Park Ave. So., 212.254.4710) Fine Photographs: Icons & Images sale, on view Oct. 11-17—depicts a dilapidated mansion atop gnarled tree roots, bringing to mind dark haunted houses of Halloween lore. This October, death comes knocking on New York’s door. But why settle for going gently into the night? Grab the scythe and start swinging.

Ghost Stories Dubbed “Manhattan’s most haunted house,” the Merchant’s House Museum (this page) has perhaps made its former residents feel a little too cozy among the original furniture and preserved clothing. Visitors and staff have reported paranormal activity there since the 1930s. Believers and skeptics alike can investigate for themselves at one of the “Spirited” October events, listed on the museum’s website . . . if they dare.
DAY OF THE DEAD El Museo del Barrio (this page) throws a Dia de los Muertos fiesta on Oct. 18 from noon to 5 p.m. in honor of the Mexican holiday.

Maps 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 No matter how far you ride, the base subway and local bus fare is $2.50 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—$30 for seven consecutive days and $112 for 30 consecutive days. 2) Pay-Per-Ride—The bonus for purchasing multiple rides is 5 percent.

My New York MY PERFECT DAY Morning: Juice and Golf I would first get a (weight) lift in and do some yoga. Then, I would take the ferry into the city from New Jersey. First stop: Juice Press for a Mother Earth pressed juice and raw oatmeal. Next, some friends and I would hit golf balls at Chelsea Piers.

Justin Pugh
Evening: Dinner and Singing
[Athlete] Offensive tackle for the New York Giants, Justin Pugh was the No. 19 overall selection in the 2013 NFL draft. Pugh graduated from Syracuse University in 2012, where he was a team captain. Originally from Holland, Pennsylvania, Pugh now resides in West New York, New Jersey. How did it feel to be signed to play for the New York Giants? There is no feeling to describe getting drafted. To end up with the Giants, an organization that is so family-oriented: It’s like nowhere else. How about New York fans? Growing up outside Philadelphia, I’ve always been around a strong fan base. New York fans, though, are diehard, loyal fans with a lot of patience. Last season, when we started out 0-6, I still had fans telling me that we were going to make it. The faith they have in their teams! What are some of your favorite shops and restaurants in the city? For suits, I love Élevée in Midtown—I need to have a lot of things custom-
tailored, and they do everything to fit you perfectly. Acustom Apparel in SoHo also does great custom work: They use a 3-D scan to get your measurements. It’s pretty cool. If you’re as into shoes as I am, you have to check out Flight Club for shoes in Union Square. They have an unbelievable selection, including limited Del Frisco’s Steakhouse
Del Frisco’s for dinner (filet mignon, mac ’n’ cheese) and then my friends and I would go to one of the karaoke bars in Koreatown!
editions and vintage. For restaurants, everyone has their go-to pizza place here, but nothing compares to the margherita pie at Lombardi’s in NoLITa. They’ve been doing it right since 1905, but it’s cash only and no reservations on the weekends. For a fancier dinner, it’s Tao Uptown. It’s the first restaurant that I went to after coming to New York: The Chilean sea bass satay is great. Finally, Katz’s Delicatessen on the Lower East Side makes the epitome of a good sandwich. Imagine a football-size pastrami Reuben. I’m a big guy, and at my hungriest, I could eat only half!

Afternoon: Beer and Basketball We’d have some lunch and then we might grab a beer at Bounce Sporting Club and catch a Syracuse basketball game.
