FRAUNCES TAVERN On the face of it, Fraunces Tavern is a museum known as the place where Gen. George Washington bade farewell to his troops. But two years ago, a paranormal investigation concluded that it is likely visited by ghosts! And, there was that murder/suicide that took place in the tavern back in the 1700s …

ABRACADABRA Undoubtedly one of the best costume stores in the city, Abracadabra has a delightfully wicked and gruesome selection of masks, costumes, makeup and props to make your trip to NYC well worth it: I mean, how could you not want to take home a head, arm or human drumstick from the store’s deli counter?

PHANTOM FOREVER It’s Broadway’s longestrunning musical, and these days you can see the talented James Barbour as the disfigured and deeply troubled phantom, but The Phantom of the Opera still has the ability to both thrill and startle with its lush sets and grandiose drama. Just watch out for a falling chandelier above your head …

ONCE DOMINATED

PHOTO CREDIT

by Wall Street traders, financial services firms and government buildings, Lower Manhattan has become the new go-to destination for travelers and natives alike. One World Observatory, Brookfield Place, the SeaGlass Carousel, Pier A: All these new attractions and businesses have turned this part of the city into a vibrant neighborhood you must see before leaving town. Here’s a road map to the highlights.

ONE WORLD TRADE CENTER The tallest building in the Western Hemisphere is a shimmering 1,776-foot office tower that, at the top, houses One World Observatory. As soon as you enter, you are greeted with a huge electronic map, displaying the hometowns of visitors in real time, as they come through security clearance. My first visit here, I watched as London, San Francisco and Tokyo lit up in geo-positional data, a thrilling reminder of the global interest in the observatory. Next, a wall of 144 Brookfield Place

individual monitors show a continuous video loop of interviews with people who worked on the creation of the center. Finally, Sky Pod elevators (there are five of them) whisk you to the 102nd floor in less than 60 seconds, while a timelapse video recreates the development of Manhattan Island from the 1500s to the present day. The Main Observatory, with floor-toceiling windows, affords uninterrupted views in every direction. 285 Fulton St., 844.696.1776

BROOKFIELD PLACE Housed in the former World Financial Center, Brookfield Place is a complex of buildings that incorporate businesses, retail, dining and Arts Brookfield, which offers free arts and cultural experiences. Within the complex is Le District, a collection of French prepared-food and grocery vendors. You can peruse the markets, then, to sample the fare, choose one of the sit-down restaurants which include Le Bar, offering small plates, craft cocktails and an extensive wine list, and Beaubourg, serving classic French dishes. For more casual eating, head over to Hudson Eats, also in Brookfield Place, a spacious, modern food court featuring eateries such as Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar, Mighty Quinn’s Barbeque and Umami Burger, all with open seating and water views. Afterward, you can work off your meal in the newly renovated retail space here that includes such luxury retailers as Burberry, Lululemon and Paul Smith. 200 Vesey St., 212.417.7000

SeaGlass Carousel

For more information wheretraveler.com

Harrison Room at Pier A Harbor House

PIER A HARBOR HOUSE You can mix history, harbor views and a variety of dining experiences at Pier A Harbor House. The complex is housed in the building that served as a station for the Harbor Police, then the main port for immigration while Ellis Island was under construction. (The clock tower, added in 1919, was built to honor the 116,000 U. S. servicemen who died in World War l.)

Now, for the first time in 127 years, anyone can visit the beautifully restored building. Stop in on the first floor for a casual meal at the stunningly spacious Oyster Bar, with views of Lady Liberty so clear you‘ll be tempted to reach out and touch her. The rooms on the second floor offer several more dining options including a more formal, Hudson Valleyinspired space with an open galley kitchen and a chef’s table. 22 Battery Pl., 212.785.0153

SEAGLASS CAROUSEL The Battery, a 25-acre public park at the southern tip of Manhattan, is where you will find the shimmering SeaGlass Carousel, a cultural attraction that features a monumental nautilus shell containing 30 luminescent fish. The carousel is distinctive because its motors lie under the floor, allowing full visibility around the shell, with no center post.

We can guarantee you‘ve never had a carousel ride quite like this one. State St., at Pearl St., 212.344.3491 SEAPORT CULTURE DISTRICT/SEAPORT STUDIOS This new cultural district offers events, presentations, screenings, walking tours and more from partners including the Guggenheim Museum and HarperCollins publishers. Seaport Studios showcases a rotating mix of designers and artists in a curated pop-up shop.

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 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 bomb, and the lives of the men and women who were part of it. Plus, playing Cate Blanchett’s husband was pretty fun as well, and Truth is a brilliant story. All in all, a good fall?

Of all the mediums: television, film and theater, which do you like doing the most, and why?

No contest: the theater. When everything is humming in a play, when there is that wonderful conspiracy between the actors and the audience and it’s all happening live, well, for me that is as good as it gets.

MY PERFECT DAY MORNING Start with the weather being manageable, but that’s not up to me. Get out of bed, go to my gym (the West Village Equinox, which everyone calls “Lookat-Mequinox” because, well, go and see for yourself ). Get some bacon and eggs at La Bonbonniere—one of the great diners in NYC, and one of the last of a vanishing breed.

LATER

[Actor]

John Benjamin Hickey, who plays professor Frank Winter on the WGN America television series Manhattan, is appearing this month in Dada Woof Papa Hot at Lincoln Center (previews begin Oct. 15). The Texas-born actor, who recently finished filming Truth with Cate Blanchett, recently talked to Where about work and life in the Big Apple.

You have a lot going on this fall: a new season for Manhattan, a new play, a new film. What are you most excited about?

All of it: I’m a lucky guy. I get to do a brand-new play at Lincoln Center, and the second season of Manhattan (premieres Oct. 13 at 9 p.m.) is going to be incredibly exciting. It’s about the race to build the first atomic

Favorite neighborhood in the city?

The West Village, because it’s where I live. I grumble about all the changes, how it’s lost so much of what made it feel bohemian, eccentric—but so many of the new things are amazing.

The High Line alone is worth the price of admission. And it’s free!

What about favorite shops, restaurants, entertainment?

I stay local. When the manager at Barbuto (Jonathan Waxman’s great

A scene from Manhattan

Head Uptown to rehearsal, work on a new play with great actors.

STILL LATER Come home and go to dinner somewhere in the neighborhood, like Barbuto (how many times can I plug that place?) or Good on Greenwich Avenue, a wonderful neighborhood restaurant that feels like it still belongs to the people who live in that area.

New York is filled with tourists (a good thing!), so people who actually live here look high and low for something to call their very own.

restaurant on Washington Street) told me she was a fan of Manhattan, I nearly cried with the relief that it might help me get a reservation. And I love going to the theater, duh. As Times Square becomes more and more unmanageable, it makes the act of sitting in a quiet (turn off your cellphones, people) theater and watching actors do their thing, all the more magical, all the more holy.

John Benjamin Hickey

What about life in NYC? What about life in NYC? Too many songs have said it better than I ever could. When I first got here, some 30 years ago, I thought, “If I could make it here” … you know the rest. I still feel that way. When you have been gone for a long time, you get back to the city and all the color, all the energy: It’s like when Dorothy opens that door in The Wizard of Oz.
