EDITOR’S ITINERARY

YOUR TRAVEL ING COMPANION SINCE 1936®

LOIS LEVINE

Stars and More Stars Looking for a glimpse of the stars? Start with a four-star breakfast: Dig into a plate of waﬄes at Sarabeth’s Kitchen. After that, just wander the city: You might spot a ﬁlm or television star running errands. Then, get enveloped in the stars (and planets) at the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History. Finally, take in a show, like Beautiful—The Carole King Musical, and see Jessie Mueller channel one of the greatest pop stars of the 20th century. So, go ahead, and stargaze!

SENIOR REGIONAL EDITORIAL DIRECTOR Margaret Martin

>> MORNING Started as a small retail store in 1981, Sarabeth’s Kitchen has come to be a NYC breakfast/brunch institution. Lines at all five locations spill onto the street on weekends, while customers anxiously await mouthwatering lemon-and-ricotta pancakes, oatmeal with pomegranate molasses and fragrant pumpkin waffles with sour cream.

>> MIDDAY I can’t think of a more magical esape from the details of everyday living than visiting the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History. This month’s Dark Universe will drop you alongside a parachute descending through Jupiter’s atmosphere and bring you to the afterglow of the Big Bang. Far, far out.

>> EVENING There are only a handful of Broadway shows that I would see again, considering the time (and financial) commitment. Beautiful—The Carole King Musicall is one of them. Watching Jessie Mueller’s at times funny, at times heartbreaking rendering of the legendary Carole King is something worth seeing over again.

WHERE® FASHION MONTH

Showstopping style Tony Award winner Lenna Hall (Hedwig and the Angry Inch) and author and d style expert George Brescia recently sat down to o talk fashion with Where magazine. Prior to Hedwig H , Hall starred as Nicola in the Tony Award-w winning musical, Kinky Boots. For over 20 years, Bre escia has worked with such fashion icons as Donn na Karan, Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilﬁger, and is an image consultant for a wide range of clients, from m Broadway stars and other celebrities to everyda ay men and women.

PHOTOGRAPHY BY CHRISTOPHER GABELLO

Lena Hall on Her Fashion Dos and Don’ts Who are your favorite designers? Zac Posen is my absolute favorite. His clothes and his style ﬁt my personality like a glove. He is also the sweetest person! I wish I could wear him 24/7 because I would look so good all the time! Any favorite shops, boutiques around town you like to shop in? I live in Williamsburg and love to shop in the vintage stores there. One in particular, 10 ft Single by Stella Dallas, has the best selection, although it can get pricey. What are your “can’t live without” accessories? I can’t live without my scarves. They are my favorite things. My fave is my pink one with mustaches on it.

Lena: Anna Sui King Fisher Medallion Fantasy Dress, $524, available at Anna Sui, 113 Green ne St.; Macie Boots by Laylajoy, $240, laylajoy.com. From G George’s closet: Raspberry corduroy suit and shirt, Marc Jacobs; Gray suit, shirt and sweater, Bonobos.

Can you define Fall Fashion this season? This fall, we’re seeing a return to “punk” fashion (spiked jewelry, chain-link details, leather and rubber detailing). We’re also seeing “boudoir dressing;” lacy camisoles under jackets, silk charmeuse dresses and blouses all giving the look and feel of vintage lingerie and pajamas. There’s been a return to the 1950s in terms of extreme feminine styling with cinched waists, swing coats and full circle skirts. For fabrics, the “print” for fall is plaid. We’re also seeing digital prints: photos as graphics on garments! Another trend is “cut-out” clothing, exposing parts of the body, a great way to hint at sexy without exposing a lot. In terms of texture, folk meets fashion with embroidery, appliqués and knitted clothing. We’re also seeing lots of embellishment: beading, sequins, crystals, and other applied or sewn texturing and sparkle. As for colors, pastels are everywhere: dusty rose, lilacs, lavenders, ice blues.

As a stylist, what are some of the biggest challenges you have come across in dressing someone? One of the hardest challenges is helping the client articculate how they want to look overall. Also, many clients may change their minds at the last second before a speciﬁc event! In either case, I try to make the client feel safe enoug gh to explore new options and help them communica ate what they are trying to say in their new sty yle. And one of the tricks you’ll see on Dreess Up!! is I always give my clients at least tw wo choices within their range of color an nd silhouette so that they have som me “wiggle room” on the day of the even nt. What do you think of Broadway star Lena Hall’s style? Lena is a new generation of Broa adway star. She is just as comfortable in leather as she is in lace. Styling som meone with that kind of open mind always delivers the best look possib ble. Tell us about your book, Change Your Clothes, Change Your Life. I’m so excited to have written this boo ok because it’s not like any style book that h has come before. I wanted to give people a too olbox of ideas and tricks of the trade to enab ble them to ﬁnd a new way of expressing the eir inner selves through the secret language of clothing and style.

How does one go about developing personal style? When I’m styling clients, whether for my Web series, Stage17.tv’s Dress Up!! or for their events, I first tell them to figure out what palette works best for them, specific to their hair and eye color and skin tone. Then, find the best silhouettes that compliment their particular body shape. And remember every time they get dressed, think: How do you want the world to see you?

What other projects are you involved in? Well, right now we’re shooting a se econd season of Dress Up! With Georrge B. Style, which can be seen on Stage e17 .tv. I’ve also just started as a new host on o the Home Shopping Network for Do onna Karan. I’m looking forward to bo oth of those. On Sept. 11 at 6 p.m., I w will be hosting my second “Fashion on o Broadway” evening at Lincoln Ce enter with a panel of celebrity guessts, and I’ll also be doing a book signin ng there. I’m also excited to be pla anning a book tour with my pu ublisher, Simon & Schuster.

Any style tips for traveling? I suggest packing your clothes within a “color story,” so that the few clothes you’re bringing can be mixed and matched easily. For instance, a black-and-white collection of clothes can mix easily and be accessorized with a few pops of color in shoes, scarves and jewelry, or even that one fuchsia sweater or that one turquoise blouse.

Glitterati Gastronomy Fashion Week frenzy is upon us, and as new looks hit runways (Sept. 4-11), a wave of fashion-forward A-listers take to top-tier NYC restaurants. (Yes, stars and supermodels eat, too . . . sometimes.) Dine, see and be seen at these haute spots.—William Grant Frierson IV

DRESS CODE Appearances matter at these ﬁne restos with attire requirements for men.

21 Club Nostalgic American fare in a country-club setting. THE CODE: Jackets optional, but strongly suggested. Loaners available (Men’s Warehouse and Ralph Lauren). 21 W. 52nd St., btw Fifth & Sixth aves., 212.582.7200 Jea an G e eor eo orrges o orge ge g ess

Harlow

JEAN GEORGES Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten is a celebrity in his own right, and his namesake resto draws serious star power (and we’re not just talking about the three Michelin stars). Emma Watson is a regular; and supermodel Tyra Banks has been spotted in the white dining room (designed by posh Danish architect Thomas Juul-Hansen), surveying the French-, Americanand Asian-inﬂuenced menu. 1 Central Park West, btw W. 60th & W. 61st sts., 212.299.3900

HARLOW Formerly the private party den of Jazz Age starlet Marion Davies, host of legendary Hollywood bashes, Harlow’s status as a go-to for the ﬂashy and fab seems natural (the global menu helps). Last year’s Fashion Media Awards, where industry giants including Heidi Klum were honored, were held here. Supermodel Naomi Campbell and designer Nicole Miller have supped in the retro-glam space. 111 E. 56th St., btw Lexington & Park aves., 212.935.6600

INDOCHINE A French-Vietnamese, colonial-chic vibe has kept this East Village staple hot (even tropical) since its opening in 1984—but you won’t ﬁnd Big Brother here, just big names. Fashion mavens Mary-Kate Olsen and Sarah Jessica Parker (with Matthew Broderick) are known to bask in the romantic atmosphere during stylish date nights. Designer Jason Wu even shot his Spring 2014 ad campaign in the dining room. 430 Lafayette St., btw W. 4th St. & Astor Pl., 212.505.5111

Pumped Up The Brooklyn Museum kicks oﬀ a new high-heels exhibition this month, so we’re celebrating with a guide to this season’s wildest footwear.JONI SWEET

SHOE SHOWCASE: If fashion were a religion (and some say it is), high heels would certainl y be a cult. Names like Manolo, Choo and Louboutin have been elevated to god status, with red soles and stiletto heels as totems. The Brooklyn Museum (200 Eastern Pkw y., at Washington Ave., Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, 718.638.5000) explores the history of these provocative emblems with more than 160 shoes on display in Killer Heels: The Art of the High-Heeled Shoe (Sept. 10-Feb. 15, 2015). Highlights include Lady Gaga’s 8-inch-heeled bootie; Dior’s stiletto mules made of silk, metal and glass; and Céline’s fur pump. Shoe-la-la!

WRITTEN BY WILLIAM FRIER SON IV; EDITED BY FRAN CIS LEWIS

The stroke of a brush can communicate so much. English painter and president of the Royal Academy of Arts, Christopher Le Brun showcases this truth in his first solo exhibition in New York in 10 years (New Works, Sept. 11-Oct. 15). Le Brun’s large-scale abstract works—including “Painting as Sunrise” (left, 2013)—demonstrate how color, brushstroke and mark-making can be employed to tell a compelling visual story.

GALLERIES & ANTIQUES DISTRICTS In general, commercial art galleries and d antiques shops are concentrated in five areas of Manhattan: The Upper East Side. Madison Ave., and surrounding streets, is a rich hunting ground for the collector of fine art and antiques. 57th St. The stretch btw Madison & Sixth aves. is of special interest to the art lover. The most notable buildings here are 40 W. 57th St. (btw Fifth & Sixth aves.); 724 Fifth Ave. (btw 56th & 57th sts.); 745 Fifth Ave. (btw 57th & 58th sts.); the Fuller Building (41 E. 57th St., at Madison Ave.); and the Crown Building (730 Fifth Ave., btw 56th & 57th sts.). Chelsea and the Meatpacking District. These are unquestionably two of Manhattan’s hottest art districts. Contemporary paintings, sculpture and video installations prevail, with only a few antiques shops. Art galleries are mainly located btw W. 14th & W. 29th sts. and btw 10th & 12th aves. A multitude of galleries can be found on W. 20th, W. 21st, W. 22nd, W. 24th, W. 25th & W. 26th sts. SoHo. Though SoHo has ceded its title as Manhattan’s art epicenter to Chelsea, many outstanding galleries remain in this neighborhood, where the cast-iron buildings are works of art themselves. Greene & Wooster sts. and W. Broadway are important thoroughfares for the art-minded. The East Village and Lower East Side. Shops along two streets—Broadway, btw E. 10th & E. 13th sts., and E. 10th St., btw University Pl. & Broadway—specialize in fine furniture and accessories. Offbeat art exhibitors cluster on Rivington, Orchard, Eldridge and Chrystie sts., as well as on Bowery.

A two-hour tour with WindowsWear is like a crash course in visual merchandising. During a trek up posh Fifth Avenue, guides discuss the history and styles of notable stores like Henri Bendel, Tiffany & Co. and Bergdorf Goodman. Even if the luxe goods are out of reach, the avant-garde window displays offer something to write home about.

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 Tony Yazbeck

MY PERFECT DAY

California native and song-and-dance man Tony Yazbeck has done regional theater (Singin’ in the Rain, My One and Only), Broadway (A Chorus Line, Chicago), television (Smash) and even Carnegie Hall. This month, he can be seen in On the Town at the Lyric Theatre (previews begin Sept. 20).—Lois Levine

As a perf r orm o er you ha ave e don done e thea t e ter, televi evison son,, nigh nightcl c ubs u . Whic ich h do do you o like lik e best best?? I like like to te tellll a story s y and fee feell the the e peo p ple p right rig ht the there re in the t audie d nce c .

Afternoon: Getting in Shape I’ve been taking dance classes at the Broadway Dance Center or Steps on Broadway to get in shape for On the Town.

Evening: Jazz and Broadway I try to get to theater: I can’t say enough about Pippin. I also recommend seeing Audra McDonald in Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar & Grill. For jazz, I often go to Dizzy’s in the Time Warner Center.

How is performing in NYC diﬀ ﬀerent from otherr citi citi ities? es?

Audra McDonald as Billie Holiday on Broadway

Morning: Water and Coffee On a typical morning, I wake up and immediately drink two glasses of water (gotta preserve the voice). Then I make coﬀee for my ﬁancée and let the sun into my apartment.

Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola

Favorite neighborhood? I can be happy anywhere I can have the magic of the city and also be close to a park and the water. I live in Inwood, and I am so lucky to be near both Inwood Hill Park and Isham Park and also the Hudson River. It’s deﬁnitely a part of New York that has really become my home.
