LOIS LEVINE

High Line, Historic Times

EDITORINCHIEF Lois Anzelowitz Levine DESIGN DIRECTOR Anna Ratman

Now that winter’s wrath is melting away, there is nothing nicer than a bucolic stroll on the West Side. Where? Why on the High Line, of course, the public park built on an historic freight rail line. And speaking of historic, I find that the New-York Historical Society often calls to me for a visit (love the statues of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass and the eclectic museum shop). Finally, when hunger strikes, it’s charming Caffè Storico, housed inside the museum!

When time and weather permit, I like getting in my cardio along the High Line, which runs from Gansevoort St. to W. 30th St., btw 10th and 11th aves. Over 210 species of plants, rotating art installations and inspirational views of the Hudson River are some of its charms.

What can be more New York than an institution called the New-York Historical Society? Some of my favorites here include the Smith Gallery, which houses nine porthole-like floorcases displaying items found underneath city streets, and the museum’s eclectic gift shop.

Inside tip: Visit the museum late (it’s open until 8 p.m. on Fridays), and then sup at Caffè Storico on the first floor, Stephen Starr’s sleek, gold-and-white accented restaurant. Enjoy grilled octopus or cioppino while watching the well-heeled Uptown crowd dine and dish.

The Lively Arts The Ningbo Performance & Arts Group, which operates under the auspices of the Ministry of Culture for the People’s Republic of China, is giving the U.S. premiere of a full-length dramatic ballet, The Red Dress (David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center, Columbus Ave., at W. 63rd St., 212.496.0600, Mar. 6-9). The lavish, large-scale production includes 45 performers who dance their way through a love story of childhood sweethearts forced to wait years before they wed.

On a lighter note—literally—are the Golden Dragon Acrobats, a touring troupe from Cangzhou. They twirl, bend, balance, flip, juggle and generally defy gravity, accompanied by music and dramatic lighting, in their show, Cirque Ziva (Brooklyn Center for the Performing Arts, 2900 Campus Rd., at Hillel Pl., Brooklyn, 718.951.4600, Mar. 9).

While these two companies draw on traditional Sino performing arts, another one is tackling a Western classic. The National Theatre of China is performing its own version

of Shakespeare’s Richard III (NYU Skirball Center for the Performing Arts, 566 LaGuardia Pl., at Washington Square, 212.352.3101, Mar. 26-30), in a production that garnered much acclaim when the troupe staged it during the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London. Performed in Mandarin, with English supertitles, it’s a brisk 100 minutes that include not only drama, but also some unexpected moments of comedy.

The National Theatre of China is doing an Asian take on a Western work; in contrast, the Kronos Quartet is performing a Western composer’s homage to Asian music (Carnegie Hall, W. 57th St., at Seventh Ave., 212.247.7800, Mar. 28). In 2004, Philip Glass composed his evening-long Orion, a tribute to international musical traditions, in collaboration with several composer/performers from around the world. The “China” movement—which is featured in the Kronos concert—showcases guest musician Wu Man, one of Glass’ original collaborators, playing the pipa, a four-stringed, lutelike Chinese instrument.

Asian Banquets Exciting Eastern newcomers are appearing everywhere.

Cuisinewise, some are purists, while others prefer to play Pan-Asian games.

For example, The General (199 Bowery, btw Spring & Rivington sts., 212.271.7101) puts a creative spin on both Chinese and Japanese staples, like pot stickers and The Golden sushi rolls, served in big, Dragon bustling (read: postmodern Acrobats bring cafeteria) digs. The fusion their balancing formula really kicks in for act to Brooklyn. dessert: cheesecake spring rolls or green tea doughnuts, anyone?

Similarly, Tao Downtown (92 Ninth Ave., at W. 16th St., 212.888.2724), which opened last autumn, offers a menu that elegantly moves between luxe Sino (think: lobster wontons, Peking duck), Nipponese (wagyu rib-eye teppanyaki, hyper-fresh sashimi) and other Asian dishes—all served in a palatial space fit for a modern Mandarin: dark, ornate, with a grand staircase at one end and an illuminated, multi-armed Buddhist goddess statue at the other.

In contrast, four-month-old China Blue (135 Watts St.,

Noodles galore to gulp down at Ramen Slurpfest, a celebration of the soupy Japanese specialty.

btw Washington & Greenwich sts., 212.431.0111) aims to recreate the delicately flavored fare of Shanghai (and does an accurate job, too, so Shanghainese friends testify). Specialities, such as soup dumplings, stewed pork meatballs and rice cakes, are served in a cozy space adorned with Art Deco furnishings and period Chinese prints (meant to evoke the sophisticated port city in its 1930s heyday).

Similar décor characterizes China Blue’s older Uptown sibling, Café China (13 E. 37th St., btw Madison & Fifth aves., 212.213.2810); only here the specialty is spicy Szechuan cuisine, as the lavish use of chili oils and peppers indicates. Fortunately, creative cocktails cool the tongue.

Speaking of drinks: A lattice-patterned folding screen heralds the entrance to the new Cocktail Lounge at Louie and Chan (303 Broome St., btw Forsyth & Eldridge sts., 212.837.2816), whose Asianinfluenced cocktails (one comes with a fortune cookie) are served with Italian nibbles from the eatery upstairs. Rather slurp than sip? The Ramen Slurpfest (Soho House, 29-35 Ninth Ave., btw W. 13th & W. 14th sts., luckyrice.com, Mar. 20) is for you: a two-hour event featuring 10 regional varieties of the Japanese noodle soup, including a brothless version.

Asian cultures teach respect for elders, so we’d be remiss not to mention a few venerables, who are as fresh as the day they opened. Celebrities hide in plain sight at the Art Deco-styled Mr. K’s (570 Lexington Ave., at E. 51st St., 212.583.1668), where dishes from all over China are served on gilded plates with friendly pomp.

THEATER

Broadway Melody The Great White Way is alive with the sound of music.

Which of these five shows opening this month will have you singing along?

ALADDIN If any composer has the Midas touch, it is Alan Menken. Eight Oscars gleam in his trophy case, including two— Best Score and Best Song (“A Whole New World”)—for Disney’s 1992 animated classic, Aladdin. With new songs by Menken and lyricist/book writer Chad Beguelin supplementing the film score, plus “newly heard” material written by Menken, Howard Ashman and Tim Rice but not used in the final cut of the movie, the Arabian Nights fable transitions to the Broadway stage as a special-effects-filled family entertainment.

IF/THEN It’s been 10 years since Idina Menzel stormed Broadway, winning a Tony Award for her gravity-defying performance as Elphaba in Wicked.

Now, hot on the heels of her smash turn in Disney’s megahit animated feature, Frozen, the diva lets it go and is back where she belongs, in a new, wholly original stage musical, playing a contemporary woman with choices to make and pop/rock/country songs

by Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey to belt.

For the record, Kitt and Yorkey’s previous Broadway collaboration, Next to Normal,l earned them the 2009 Tony for Best Score (music and/or lyrics).

LES MISÉRABLES Man the barricades: Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg’s sungthrough juggernaut is back! For the return, Broadway’s fifth longest-running show ever, which ran 1987 thru 2003, has been reimagined, with a new cast, new staging, new sets, new costumes and new orchestrations.

ROCKY In Rocky, y 1976’s Oscar-winning Best Picture, the hero’s girlfriend asks him why he boxes. “Because I can’t sing or dance,” he answers. Well, now he can. Rocky the movie has become Rocky the musical. Credit heavyweight tunesmiths Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens with the transformation—and Sylvester Stallone, who has adapted his own screenplay with Thomas Meehan of Annie renown.

HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH Neil Patrick Harris may be Mr. Affability on TV, but he walks on the wild side when he appears on Broadway. Witness Cabaret, t Assassins and now Hedwig, the hard-driving rock musical (music and lyrics by Stephen Trask) in which he pulls out all the stops as a flamboyant East German transgender singer. Doogie Howser no more.—Francis Lewis

ART

Modern and Contemporary The history of art in the United States was forever changed in 1913, when the International Exhibition of Modern Art came to Manhattan’s 69th Regiment Armory, displaying works by avant-garde European artists—many of which had never been seen by aesthetes this side of the pond— alongside American pieces. It was a daring endeavor that paid off big. More than a century later, the event’s impact is still felt and its legacy continues, just not at the same location. Resuscitated in 1994, THE ARMORY SHOW (Piers 92 & 94, 12th Ave., btw W. 51st & W. 54th sts., 212.645.6440, Mar. 6-9) assembles a sharply curated collection of international masterpieces—from the modern, such as Alexander Calder’s gouache on paper “Men” (right ( t, 1971), to the contemporary, such as Jonathan Meese’s oil and acrylic on canvas “DER NULLKÖNIG MIT DEM SCHNALZMUND (BARTIUSSUS)” (below, w 2013). This year, a special section focusing on Chinese contemporary art is featured. The show is part of the larger, citywide festival ARMORY ARTS WEEK (armoryartsweek.com, Mar. 5-10), with even more events to keep you on the creative cutting edge.—William Frierson

Moon Dance CIRQUE DU SOLEILis synonymous with onstage spectacle, and the larger-thanlife productions the company stages blend fantastical plots with acrobatic artistry. Amaluna—at Citi Field (123-01 Roosevelt Ave., btw 114th & 126th sts., Queens, 800.450.1480, Mar. 20-Apr. 13)—stays true to this mission. Audiences are thrust into the world of an island race of moon-worshipping women. When a storm strands a group of soldiers on the island, an unexpected love affair is sparked, testing an entire culture.

MAR. 4 & 6: Sting and Paul Simon Share the Stage A delightfully unexpected pairing, no? The convergence of two rock legends— one new wave, the other folk. As Simon told Rolling Stone, “We come from very different places, culturally. Our voices are different, our accents are different and our senses of rhythm are different.” So, how did they end up joining forces for a North American tour?

Hear it for yourself at Madison Square Garden.

Slam Dunk The regular NBA season ends in April, and the Brooklyn Nets look poised to fulfill an ambition of veteran forward Paul Pierce (No. 34, above, in action against the Oklahoma City Thunder). When traded to the Nets in 2013, after 15 seasons as a Boston Celtic, Pierce had this to say: “My ultimate drive is winning a championship [as a Brooklyn Net].”

WRITTEN BY WILLIAM FRIERSON IV; EDITED BY TROY SEGAL

Peace of Art As an Israeli artist who lives and works in Tel Aviv, Shony Rivnay is no stranger to adversity—his homeland is in a near-constant state of strife.

GALLERIES & ANTIQUES DISTRICTS In general, commercial art galleries and 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.

Textiles in Time Design trends seem to change with each season, bringing one pattern to prominence while deeming another “so yesterday.” But at Antique Textiles Gallery (p. 34), the “yesterday” factor is the main appeal. The vintage and regional fabrics on offer—from pillowcases to furniture coverings—have withstood the test of time, and range in style from 18th-century Aubusson tapestry to West African adire.

Antique? So chic.

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.

My New York OUR PERFECT DAY #

For Sarah Hasted, nothing beats a massage and facial at Bliss Spa, while Joseph Kraeutler enjoys a restorative jog followed by an even more restorative “boozy brunch with friends.”

Afternoon Shop and Stop

Sarah Hasted and Joseph Kraeutler

Hasted couldn’t be happier shopping in SoHo and on the Lower East Side, “at all the great little shops where you find amazing treasures.” Kraeutler is a lot simpler: He likes to take a nap.

[ O w n e rs , Ha s ted Kra e utl e r a r t g a l l e r y ] Gallery founder, curator and art dealer Sarah Hasted opened her Chelsea art gallery in 2005. She was joined in 2009 by Joseph Kraeutler, who had been managing and promoting notable artists around the world. Here, they both share tips on buying art and what makes NYC so colorful.

What tips would you give someone coming to the city to buy art?

Trust your gut and intuition; always buy art that you love. Do your research in advance to avoid getting wrapped up in a sales pitch, and make sure that both the artist and gallery have good reputations. There are over 300 galleries in Chelsea alone so, it is important to have a “must” list in hand. Always remember that buying art should be a pleasurable experience.

What is new and exciting at Hasted Kraeutler for March?

This month, we will be having the first U.S. solo exhibition of Spanish artist/sculptor Rómulo Celdrán. The gallery will be filled with his huge,

fun sculptures inspired by American sculptor Claes Oldenburg, as well as photo-realistic drawings of everyday objects, oversized and exaggerated.

Where do you like to eat out?

Our favorite restaurant in New York City is Hecho en Dumbo on the Lower East Side.

What are some of your favorite things to do in New York City?

(SH) I love to go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, to the Tibet room and sit in front of the big buddhas and get inspired. I also like to go on the Circle Line with friends visiting New York for the first time. (JK) For me, it’s gallery openings on Thursday evenings in Chelsea.

Evening Food and Sport Favorite dinner spots? Besides Hecho, both Kraeutler and Hasted rave about Momofuku, Craft and Sushi Azabu.

And for Kraeutler, going to Madison Square Garden (above) for a Knicks game can’t be beat.
