EDITOR’S ITINERARY

YOUR TRAVEL ING COMPANION SINCE 1936®

LOIS LEVINE

Going First Class Some days in New York are meant to be all edgy and Downtown, and other days, elegant and classic. For example: a late-morning breakfast at nautically inspired Oceana in Midtown. Then, stroll a few blocks Uptown to dissolve into some of Jackson Pollock’s brilliant splashes, dips and dribbles at the Musem of Modern Art (make time for the Sculpture Garden and Aristide Maillol’s imposing “The River”). For dinner, a beautiful porterhouse at Parlor on the Upper East Side. Class, all the way. For my full New York itinerary, go to wheretraveler.com

PRODUCTION DESIGNER Harley Brooks MORRIS VISITOR PUBLICATIONS CHIEF CREATIVE OFFICER Haines Wilkerson SENIOR REGIONAL EDITORIAL DIRECTOR Margaret Martin

>> MORNING Cool and sleek, Oceana, popular with the Midtown “suits” at lunch, also has a breakfast menu that offers both light and hearty. Go spartan with housemade Greek yogurt and fruit, or opt for the Maine lobster Benedict or brioche French toast with marmalade and syrup. Either way, you’ve got a win-win.

>> AFTERNOON In 1956, Time magazine dubbed Jackson Pollock “Jack the Dripper,” a name that couldn’t be more appropriate for the architect of Abstract Expressionism. No matter how many times I’ve seen his work, his audaciously beautiful splatterings always pull me in. Afterward, stop by MoMA’s impressive Sculpture Garden.

>> EVENING I discovered Parlor, a gem of a neighborhood steak house (which I always thought of as an oxymoron), when I first arrived at Where, over a year ago. The perfectly seasoned steaks, decadent creamed spinach, twice baked potato and lively, warm Upper East Side crowd locked it in for me: This cow palace is a keeper.

WALK IN THE PARK A BOROUGHBYBOROUGH PARK ROUNDUP

With 1,700 parks and recreation areas, New York City could be considered as green as it is granite. And because Gotham never does anything halfway, a good number of these venues are sprawling cities within a city, with enough activities, gardens, events, lakes, landscapes and secret sanctuaries to fill your itinerary from dawn past dusk. Here we’ve picked the best ‘day trips’ to an outstanding park in each of the fi ve boroughs. Your cultural yearnings, outdoor hankerings and culinary cravings will be sated in all five places as easily as, well, a walk in the park. Lots of green is what you’ll get in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park

Keep heading south on East Drive to the Children’s Corner and stop in at the Prospect Park Zoo, where dozens of different wild and farm animals reside. There’s a barn ﬁ lled with sheep and goats, and, elsewhere, adorable red panda cubs romp. The lively troupe of Hamadryas baboons will entertain you for hours if you let them.

QUEENS First and foremost, as you enter Flushing Meadows Corona Park, don’t forget to look up at the Unisphere. The 12-story, 350-ton globe was the centerpiece of the 1964 World’s Fair. Key pieces of World’s Fair history live in the Queens Museum New York City building, also in the park. Before leaving the

Nearby is the Carousel, sporting horses by master carver Charles Carmel, and Lefferts House, celebrating family life in 1820s Brooklyn. Every Sat and Sun in July, you can join a tour of the second floor, which is rarely open to visitors. Head across the meadow to the Picnic House, where you can sit down and enjoy lunch or a snack at the Movable Feast Café. Continue south to the LeFrak Center at Lakeside. The skating pavilion switches to roller-skating and a water play area in the summer. Prospect Park also offers free concerts and performing arts in the summer at the Bandshell. Time it right, and you might catch a show featuring Nickel Creek (Jul. 24) or the Dance Theatre of Harlem (Jul. 31). To end your outing, exit at 9th St. and walk two brownstone-lined blocks to Seventh Ave. You’ll find yourself in the heart of Park Slope, where dozens of restaurants, bars and shops line the avenue in both directions.

museum, you must check out the mesmerizing Panorama, a huge, to-scale replica of New York City that actually turns from day to night. Culture doesn’t stop there, though. The New York Hall of Science, housed in one of the few remaining structures from the 1964 World’s Fair, is home to 450 exhibits, including an outdoor science playground. On top of that, the Queens Theatre, Queens Zoo and Queens Botanical Garden are also in the park. Each of these sites has its own jam-packed schedule, so be sure to check out the calendar of events on the park website to help you decide what to do. If a day spent strolling is your intention, take advantage of the Flushing Bay Promenande, a 1.4-mile walking path along the water. Also in the park are six themed playgrounds, dozens of ball courts, ﬁelds and skate parks. There is even a model aircraft ﬁeld. For lunch, make like a typical New Yorker and grab a hot dog at one of the food carts throughout the park. For more information, visit www.nycgovparks.org/parks/fmcp.

WH WHER HER ERE NO NOW New

York

It’s easy to feel on top of the world in New York—even easier when you’re drinking a few ﬂoors up. These rooftop hot spots are natural mood elevators, so let loose and go up, up and away. Everything’s better when you exist on a higher plane.—William Frierson THE ROOF AT VICEROY In a part of town dominated b y mainstream retail storefronts, the Viceroy New York is an oasis of cool. Distinctl y and aggressively “New York,” the timeless hotel recently opened The Roo f (124 W. 57th St., 29th ﬂ., btw Sixth & Seventh aves., 212.707.8008). With retro wooden paneling, walnut-and-brown-leather chairs, brass accents and paintin gs of crashing surf and stormy sunsets at sea, the compact roost has the air of a luxe yacht—if said yacht were cruising the clouds above Central Park (jaw-dropping view). Cocktails are art ful, both proprietary (Without Fear: Jameson, apricot liqueur, lemon, bitters) and classic (Suit + Tie: vodka, gin, Dolin Blanc, maraschino liqueur). Smooth sailing ahead, if you get past the exclusive door, that is. THE SKYLARK Sometimes a weeknight drink is what we all need. The Skylark (200 W. 39th St., at Seventh Ave., 212.257.4577), new to Midtown West, is a sleek, modern go-to (open to the public Mon-Fri onl y). Mixologist Jonny Swet crafted the cocktails, which are accompanied b y bar bites, including mac ‘n’ cheese “cupcakes” (that’s ri ght). There’s a billiard table, with Hudson River views giving you a nice excuse as to why you missed that eight ball. SUNSETS AT THE JANE The “in” crowd flocks to this West Village hotel (The Jane, 113 Jane St., at

chipped walls, a tux-clad taxiderm y baboon, velvet sofas (très ancien regime) and a chandelier draped in Edison bulbs. The open-air area is of modest size, but the view is anything but: The Hudson shimmers, inviting you to raise a g lass (preferably The Punjab: vodka, limoncello, cucumber; good with gin, too) to the Statue of Libert y. Look out for celebs—I ran into an actor from HBO’s Girls. NIGHT OF JOY Bohemians feel at home at Night of Joy, a Williamsburg hidden gem (667 Lorimer St., at Wit hers St., Brooklyn, 718.388.8638). Downstairs, there’s a Victorian vibe (granny’s lace, Persian rugs, ornate molding), while the charmingl y casual roof, all stringed lights and graffiti, is a good perch for beet- and dill- infused vodka. Trust us, you won’t leave wondering how the place got its name. Sunsets at The Jane

Dancing on Canvas Beauty can be born from misfortune. Painter Lydia Janssen is proof. After injury rendered the former dancer unable to continue her career, she never stopped swaying to the music. These days, she pursues movement via paintbrush, with wistful, foggy abstracts that overflow with kinetic energy. Her exhibit A Course Change, featuring works such as “Lameness,” (2014), is on view thru Sept. 5. Susan Eley Fine Art, 46 W. 90th St., 2nd fl., btw Central Park West & Columbus Ave., 917.952.7641

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.

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.

My New York Stephanie March

MY PERFECT DAY Morning: Breakfast of Champions

[Actress, Entrepreneur]

There’s a café near me on Ninth Ave. called La Bergamote, which is delightful. It has the most beautiful pastries and great cappuccino.

This leading lady is taking the city by storm. She spent years ﬁghting for justice as Assistant District Attorney Alexandra Cabot on Law & Order SVU. Now, she’s making the world more beautiful with her makeup studio, Rouge New York. The Texas-born, Chelsea dweller sheds light on her NYC life—and plans for global domination.—Joni Sweet

Evening: Classy Fun You’re a travel editor at FathomAway .com. What was your favorite trip? My favorite trip is always the trip I was on most recently. And my second favorite is the one I’m about to go on. I’m about to go to Kenya and Tanzania, and I had an epic journey to India at the beginning of February. When you’re not at the makeup studio or trotting the world, where else do you spend your time? I’ve always really liked NoLIta. One of my favorite places to go for coﬀee is The Smile on Bond Street. I absolutely love Temple Bar. It‘s an old-school institution. The Public Theater is one of my favorite venues to see a show, and there’s a great bar inside. [My

Head to Brooklyn for oysters and Champagne at Maison Premiere. End in Manhattan with a martini at one of the hotels, such as the Waldorf, St. Regis or the Peninsula.

husband] Bobby [Flay] just opened a restaurant called Gato on Lafayette Street, which is amazing. And there’s some fun shopping there. There’s a Rag & Bone, though that’s technically in SoHo. And John Derian is amazing for housewares. Any other favorite spots? No question, the Lower East Side Tenement Museum. It gives you a really comprehensive history of NYC. What’s your top makeup tip? Every woman should have a good red lipstick. It juices the moment.

Why did you opt to open Rouge New York in SoHo? I wanted a beauty brand that’s for the cool girl, so I had to start in a location that made sense for that person. We make no secret of the fact that global domination is our goal, but we wanted to start somewhere that really felt like New York, had great foot traﬃc, and was a place where people come to spend money and have a good time. We have everybody. We have brides, girls going to their ﬁrst dance, women on their way to work.

Afternoon: City Sightseeing Strolling through Central Park is terriﬁc. I also like Top of the Rock for a good view of the middle of the city. Then head to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and have a glass of wine in the café.
