NEW YORK
If you had to take a vote on which month is the favorite among us native New Yorkers, June would be a strong contender, if not the contender. Warm enough to do practically anything outdoors, but not yet so humid you’ll be sweating within the first inning of a Yankees game, it’s pretty darn near perfect weather. With that in mind, we offer you great alfresco ideas, such as hopping on the (free!) Staten Island Ferry to visit the city’s southernmost borough; or take in one of the many outdoor festivals going on around town which range from fetes for book lovers, music fans, foodies and cocktail slingers. June is also Tony Awards month in the Big Apple, which means executive editor and theater writer (and major Broadway fan) Francis Lewis gives us his predictions (and biased opinion) on who will be/should be taking home the gold. So, pick a nearby park bench and start reading!

David Friedman’s favorite spots to dine
ENTERTAINMENT
MAN WITH A SONG
Classically trained composer David Friedman found his niche Bronx native David Friedman has written songs for everyone from Disney to Diana Ross, Broadway, Off-Broadway, film and TV. Most recently, he penned the score for “Desperate Measures,” a musical comedy set in the Wild West of the 1890s, playing at New World Stages. “It’s a bit of a departure for me. I know my way around a country song, but to do a whole show was an exciting challenge,” he admits. His personal favorites? “Barry Manilow, Marvin Hamlisch. My favorite girl singers growing up were Dionne Warwick, Barbra Streisand.” Friedman originally trained as a classical conert pianist. At 17, he got a teaching certificate from the Dalcroze School of the Rockies. “I remember the head of the school saying, ‘Recently, I’ve noticed a trashy nightclub idiom infiltrating your improvisations: If you’re not careful, you might end up in the pit of a Broadway show!’ I was delighted, and began to shift my focus to my true passion—Broadway.”—Lois Levine 12

“Ah, restaurants. Don’t get me started! I love Joe Allen, not only for its food and convenience, but because I often run into so many friends and colleagues there. Peter Luger is my favorite restaurant in New York (or should I say Brooklyn). My father used to take us there for a treat when we were kids. When he died, I found out that I could inherit and use his [Peter Luger credit] card, and it’s one of my prized possessions. I also love that Wolfgang’s is a sort of clone of Peter Luger.” For more great

Broadway Magic The 2018 Tony Awards celebrating theater’s best are handed out on June 10. What shows should win? What shows will win?
THERE WERE NO SURPRISES when the Tony Award nominations were announced on May 1. As expected, “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” zapped the competition; “Angels in America” flew high with the most nominations—11—for any play in Tony history; “The Band’s Visit” struck a chord with the nominating committee; and Glenda Jackson added a nod for lead actress in “Three Tall Women” to a résumé crowned by two Oscar wins. But will these nominees find themselves in the winner’s circle on Tony night? Read on for the biased opinions of a longtime theatergoer. 18

First, let’s talk about “Harry Potter” and its lock on the Best Play gong. Of the five nominees, it’s the only game left in town. “The Children,” “Farinelli and the King,” “Junk” and “Latin History for Morons”— worthy competitors—closed months ago, and Tony voters, many of whom are from out of town, are obliged to see all nominees before casting their ballots. Then, there’s profitability. “Harry Potter,” the play, like the books and movies before it, is a money-spinner. The ka-ching of more than $2 million in box office receipts every week cannot be ignored. Artistically, it’s also a winner. The staging and special effects are beyond anything ever seen on Broadway. “Harry Potter” is undeniably magical, but should it win the Tony?. If you’re a fan, the answer is obvious. There are millions of you, but there are also millions who have not succumbed to the wizard’s mystique. So, here’s a caveat, if you’re not wild about Harry or are a Potter virgin: The two-part play, with a combined running time of just under five and a half hours, is a major commitment. The plot is so convoluted, prior knowledge of characters and situations is essential for full enjoyment. Program notes help fill in the gaps for the uninitiated, but who wants to plow through four pages of program notes to twig what’s going on? Frankly, after seeing both parts and reading the script, I'm still not sure who the cursed child in the title is. The two parts of “Angels in America”— “Millennium Approaches” and “Perestroika”—won back-to-back Tonys for Best Play in 1993 and 1994. Twenty-five years later, the revival of Tony Kushner’s masterwork about the early days of the AIDS epidemic is set for further Tony glory. “Angels,” too, is a major commitment—you can see both parts in one day (matinee and evening) or on alternate nights—but the seven and a half hours fly by. The most intellectually stimulating and viscerally entertaining show on Broadway is not to be missed, even if it doesn’t take home the Tony for Best Revival of a Play (which it will). Tony loves a good musical, and “The Band’s Visit” is better than good: It’s the best there is, with a solid story about contempo-
rary Israelis and Egyptians getting along. The gorgeous songs float by “on a jasmine-scented wind,” as one of the lyrics so exquisitely puts it. Moreover, the show’s quiet dignity is contained within an economical and intermissionless 90 minutes. It will sweep the board. But I have to confess that my guilty pleasure of the season is fellow Best Musical nominee “SpongeBob SquarePants.” Goodhumored, goofy, gaudy—I love it. As to the Tony for Best Actress in a Leading Role in a Play, the award must go to Glenda Jackson in “Three Tall Women.” Twenty-three years away from film and theater, while she served as a member of the British Parliament, have only enhanced Jackson’s magnetism. As a crotchety, disagreeable, proud and defiant 90-year-old terror facing senility and death head-on, she commands the stage and holds the audience in the palm of her hand. Come June 10, she’ll be holding the Tony, too.
THE SEASON’S BEST
(Facing page) “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” has cast a spell over critics and audiences alike. (This page, clockwise from top) Glenda Jackson returns to the Great White Way in Edward Albee’s “Three Tall Women;” “The Band’s Visit” makes beautiful music; the revival of “Angels in America” tells a tale of love and survival.

WHERE IN NEW YORK
Come June, we all scream for ice cream, and choices range from ice cream trucks to ice cream novelties in nearly every corner grocery store to artisanal favorites at places like Van Leeuwen and Ample Hills Creamery. Where, though, is the best place to sit and eat your treat while watching the world go by? For more great outdoor venues in the city, visit wheretraveler.com

WHE RE I J U N E 2018
Steps Two favorite local spots to hunker down on a warm day are the New York Public Library on Fifth Ave. and 42nd St., and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. At the former, you will be safely guarded by two marble lions, Patience and Fortitude, while you watch Midtown workers scurry along to catch their meetings. The steps of the Met, meanwhile, can offer you viewings of jewelry and book vendors, jugglers and mimes (the jugglers and mimes hope for a generous tip).
Benches On the High Line, benches offer people-watching as well as skyline and wild garden views, all in a public park that used to be elevated railroad tracks. Madison Square Park is a hipster spot, where young professionals vie for tables to eat their Shake Shack burgers. For a lovely aesthetic to look at, admire the art of Diana AlHadid’s “Delirious Matter,” a series of six sculptures on the lawn. Grab a seat in Washington Square Park to watch some serious chess playing.
Lawns If it’s greenery and action you crave with your salted caramel ice cream cone, then there is only one lawn to discuss, and that is Central Park’s Great Lawn. This 55-acre verdant patch is where you will find locals and visitors spreading out a blanket for a picnic lunch or supper; numerous games of Frisbee; and city residents, both male and female, in bathing suits, sunglasses and headsets, attempting to procure a tan as good as one at the beach.
