I confess: I still get excited about my first cup of wheretraveler.com/NYtours coffee every morning, and the thrill of each java jolt stays with me throughout the day. If I were able to rack up frequent-flier miles for the number of times I walk from my office to the company Keurig machine, I’d be jetting to Singapore (first class!) for a very long time. This city is also fueled on the stuff, as witnessed by the number of pedestrians, day and night, clutching paper cups from their own favorite coffee spots around town. Here are three of mine. For my full New York itinerary, go to wheretraveler.com.

>> GRUMPBUSTER The antidote to the midweek grumpies? Café Grumpy. There are several locations around the city, but I love the cramped, cozy quarters at Grand Central Terminal: Grab an espresso and a housemade pastry, stand by the bar along the windows and watch the floods of people streaming in and out of the terminal.

>> CAFÉ OLÉ! You’ll love the cheery, grocery-store ambience at Cafe El Presidente. The Flatiron District eatery offers not only remarkably full-bodied coffee (single-origin Mexican beans), but also a hearty menu of food offerings, including some of the tastiest huevos rancheros I’ve ever experienced North of the Border.

where in the world

>> JAVA, AUSSIESTYLE Named after a street in Melbourne, Australia, Little Collins on the Upper East Side is a lively little gem with robust coffee varietals served in a glass and placed on a pretty green saucer. “Brekkie” and lunch sandwiches are awesome (I favor The Big Dill: cured salmon and eggs with dill and mascarpone).

ART SCENE

Photo Op Spring is here and everything old is new again. Part of the city’s April renewal includes a slew of art shows in full bloom, from 17th-century to contemporary works, from American to international. Luis González Palma’s “Mobius (untitled),“ 2014, is on view at the AIPAD Photography Show New York.

In Focus Your chances of visiting more than 80 international photography galleries in one day? Zip, which is why we love art fairs and make a beeline to the AIPAD Photography Show, the grandscale emporium of contemporary, modern and 19th-century photography showcasing 89 of the world’s top dealers at the Park Avenue Armory (643 Park Ave., 202.317.1158, Apr. 16 thru 19). Amble past museum-ready pictures, here a 1919 Georgia O’Keeffe portrait by Alfred Stieglitz, there a new trove of Margaret Bourke-White’s contact prints of Depression-era burlesque dancers. Then take in the show’s ripped-from-the-headlines highlight, photographs by contemporary Cuban artists, many never before seen in the U.S.—Terry Trucco BIG SHOW Thinking of tackling Artexpo New York, billed as the world’s largest art show and marketplace at Pier 94 (711 12th Ave., Apr. 23-26, artexponewyork.com)? We suggest running shoes. Consider: 400-plus artists, galleries and publishers exhibiting work in 133,000 square feet of exhibition space. The juried, one-stoplook-and-shopathon of original work encompasses nearly every medium imaginable—paintings, prints, drawings, sculpture, photography, ceramics, lithographs, glass: You get the idea. CUBA LIBRE Talk about fast work. Just months after the seismic shift in U.S. diplomatic relations with Cuba, we see Cuban art almost everywhere we look. That’s always been the case at Magnan Metz Gallery (521 W. 26th St., 212.244.2344), where Cuban art is the house specialty and politically energized can-

socially charged contemporary works in Cuba Libre! (thru Jun. 21), epitomized by Meira Marrero and José Toirac’s “Looking for Happiness,” side-by-side images of a grizzled Ernest Hemingway nursing a rum and a youthful Fidel Castro swilling a Coke. SOMETHING OLD Nothing puts a gleam in our antiques-loving eye like a huge cache of finely honed silver. You’d have to frequent Hungary’s museums to tally up more Hungarian silver ewers, pitchers and chalices than what’s socked away at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (1000 Fifth Ave., 212.535.7710) following a lavish bequest by a former U.S. Ambassador to Buda-

(Apr. 6-Oct. 4). Elsewhere, you can hightail it to Life of Cats: Selections From the Hiraki Ukiyo-e Collection at the Japan Society (333 E. 47th St., 212.832.1155, thru Jun. 7). Complementing these classic Edo-period (1615-1865) wood-block prints of felines are enough kitty paintings, drawings and sculptures to make you purr. GOING ONCE Auction exhibitions focused on a subject or genre can inform, especially at a small house like Swann Auction Galleries (104 E. 25th St., 212.254.4710). Witness Ascension: A Century of African-American Art (Apr. 2), bookended by Henry Ossawa Tanner’s poetic “Boy and Sheep Under a

INSIDER‘S GUIDE

Bookapalooza Thomas Aquinas said, “Beware of the person of one book,” and if you are to take that advice to heart, check out the New York City Book & Ephemera Fair (Apr. 11, www.bookandpaperfairs. com). Purchase a 15th-century illuminated Book of Hours or the music manuscript from Abraham Lincoln’s funeral. For more book fairs around town, see below.

With the magnificent plants, trees and flowers we have to show off, no wonder New Yorkers get euphoric come spring! Here’s what’s in bloom: Thru Apr. 4, you can see jaw-dropping arrangements of flowers from around the world at the Macy’s Herald Square Flower Show (so cial.macys.com/flowershow). At The New York Botanical Garden’s Orchid Show (thru Apr. 19, www.nybg.org), dozens of orchid species hang from the ceiling, including a star-shaped chandelier. And at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden (www.bbg.org), you can now view the recently planted Native Flora Garden expansion, with cultivated pine barrens and a meadow modeled after Long Island’s Hempstead Plains.

GREAT READS Meet celebrity chefs and food writers at the Food Book Fair (Apr. 10-12, www.foodbookfair.com). The New York Antiquarian Book Fair (Apr. 9-12, www.nyantiqua rianbookfair.com) has on view (and for purchase) vintage books, illuminated manuscripts and maps; and at the Rainbow Book Fair on Apr. 18 (www.rainbowbookfair .org), peruse titles from hundreds of LGBT writers and enjoy panel discussions and poetry salons. 8

Work It! Many national gyms and health clubs have locations in the Big Apple, including Equinox, Crunch, Planet Fitness, 24 Hour Fitness and David Barton Gym. So, if you are a member of one of these at home, your membership may entitle you to work out at a branch here, where there is always some detail that shouts, “You are not in Kansas anymore!” For example, David Barton Gym’s facility in Manhattan’s

Chelsea nabe (656 Sixth Ave., 212.414.2022) is in a 19th-century Episcopal church with stainedglass windows that, when deconsecrated, became the famous (some would say infamous) Limelight disco in the 1980s and 1990s. Tip: If working out for you is a religion, this is the place in which to worship—and rock on. EXCEED EXPECTATIONS Time is of the essence in NYC, so a full-body

workout in 50 minutes, combining cardio and strength training, seems almost too good to be true. But that’s the promise—and signature offering—at Exceed Physical Culture (Upper East Side: 1477 Third Ave., 212.481.5300; TriBeCa: 97 Reade St., 212.406.3600). A smallgroup class costs $32. Go online (www.exceed physicalculture.com) for schedules; booking can be made online, by phone or in person. Tip: The TriBeCa venue is newer, larger and generally less crowded.

TAKE A BREATH Here is where the editors of Where New York go when they need their own om moment. The Temple of Dendur

I remember falling into a reverential silence the very first time my parents took me to the Temple of Dendur at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The majestic Egyptian temple, dating from 10 B.C. , is made of sandstone, and its shadowcasting pillars simply leave me silent and centered. —Editor-in-Chief Lois Levine Pier 40’s roof

STANDARD BEARER In 1973, New York Health & Racquet Club (www,nyhrc.com) pioneered the upscale urban gym. Lovingly referred to at the time as the Wealth & Racquet Club, NYHRC now has nine locations, uptown and down. Tip: Many hotels are affiliated with NYHRC; if so, a day pass costs $35 instead of $50. Ask your concierge. BANG FOR THE BUCK A $60 Multi-Sport Passport goes a long way at Chelsea Piers (Hudson River Park, at W. 23rd St., 212.336.6666). Included is access to the 28-acre campus’ indoor swimming pool, basketball courts, indoor track, weight room, cardio machines, fitness classes, enclosed golf driving range and indoor ice-skating rinks. Tip: Add on a postexercise massage at the on-site spa.

This is where I go to observe the towers of Manhattan to the east, the burgeoning New Jersey skyline to the west and the Statue of Liberty to the south. I’m in the center of it all, but the only sound I hear is the wash of the Hudson River. —Executive Editor Francis Lewis Brooklyn Bridge Park

Leisurely strolls on Brooklyn Bridge Park’s riverfront promenade in DUMBO put me into zen mode. There’s a carousel, great food options nearby and an amazing view of the Manhattan skyline that makes the bustling city seem serene. —Associate Editor Joni Sweet

Top off your visit with a screening from MoMA’s film series. • The Shops at Columbus Circle (10 Columbus Ave., 212.823.6300) Shoppers will find their nirvana at this collection of designer and specialty stores, where you can also find some of the city’s most acclaimed dining spots, like Per Se.

THE GUIDE

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.

new York

How did you get involved with Larry David and Fish in the Dark? My team told me that Larry David and producer Scott Rudin wanted me to do a table read with Larry and a proposed cast, directed by Anna Shapiro. I immediately said yes. I mean, come on, people: Larry, Scott and Anna?!

Rosie Perez [Actress]

Brooklyn-raised Rosie Perez has proven her comedic and dramatic chops on stage, small screen and film with memorable roles, including The Ritz (Broadway), Fearless and White Men Can’t Jump (film) and also as co-host of ABC-TV’s The View. This month, you can see her in the hilarious Broadway comedy, Fish in the Dark, written by and starring Larry David (co-creator of Seinfeld). She talked to Where New York about Brooklyn, the Statue of Liberty and lunch at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). You live in Brooklyn. What do you think of its massive transformation? The gentrification has been a bit of a shock. The boroughs have always been slow to change. The quickness is tough for us. I’m still trying to get used to the massive amount of people on the streets, the increase of cars, noise pollution

How do you feel about starring on Broadway? This isn’t my first time on Broadway but it’s my first with Larry David, and I am over the moon! Larry is a sweetheart and is kick-ass on stage. Every night, I get to play in the sand with him and the rest of the wonderful cast.

Rosie Perez and Larry David in Fish in the Dark

What is your favorite “medium: ” TV, film, theater? I enjoy it all. I guess it’s the ham in me. I do have to say that I feel most alive on a stage. Favorite spots in the city? Prospect Park! Restaurants: Chez Oskar, Graziella’s, Speedy Romeo, Ruthie’s, Tommaso’s, Gino’s, Ample Hills Creamery, Blue Ribbon and Brooklyn Bowl (I love their fried chicken!).

A perfect dAy MORNING Morning in Brooklyn: A walk in Fort Greene Park. Sitting on a park bench with my neighbors/friends, talking up a storm. Taking turns playing tennis. Some more talking. And just walking around my neighborhood taking in the beautiful brownstones and tree-lined streets. Morning in Manhattan: Walking along the West Side Highway is the best! Then having brunch at Pastis, a French bistro in the Meat Packing district. (Editor’s note: at press time, Pastis was closed for renovations.) AFTERNOON Afternoon in Brooklyn: Taking a drive down to Red Hook. I love Red Hook. I love walking down Valentino Pier and looking out at the Statue of Liberty, watching the water taxis and tugboats pass by. Red Hook still has quite a few mom-and-pop shops and great restaurants, too. Afternoon in Manhattan: MoMA. Period. Actually, I love all of the museums the city has to offer. But I do love MoMA. The best part for me is having lunch at its restaurant [Danny Meyer’s The Modern]. Having a fantastic lunch inside the museum? Come on, people! EVENING Night in Brooklyn: I love just being home. Brooklyn is so lovely. I just love crossing the bridges and being away from all the bright lights of the city. Night in Manhattan: Broadway! Discover more at

and the disappearance of mom-andpop stores. I used to know about 80 percent of my neighbors. Now, it’s less than half of that, but I’m keeping up a positive attitude, partly because of the amount of jobs that places like the Atlantic Center and Barclays have provided. I just hope the real Brooklyn sense of a community survives.
