A Note from the Editor

Fabulous Fall Autumn in New York. Movies have been made about it, songs have been sung about it. The month of October brings crisp air and crunchy leaves underfoot. But, in New York, it also means the excitement of so much that is new in this never-static-for-amoment town. For starters, our theaters are lit up with new stars (think Orlando Bloom, Daniel Craig, Ethan Hawke, Ian McKellen, Rachel Weisz).

For indoor and outdoor events, it’s the Columbus Day and Halloween parades, the Autumn Crafts Festival, the New York Cabaret Convention, plus plenty more.

New York, always a walking town, is custom-tailored for strolling during this neither too-cold nor too-hot month. For me, I like nothing better than wandering around utterly aimless, stopping somewhere for a dark roast coffee (check out our roundup of cool coffee places), perhaps ambling into a couple of stores or one of our great museums and then ending the day with a cocktail … or two. (October is also Oktoberfest: Make sure to read up on what’s happening in our local beer halls!)

If you don’t mind a subway ride, be sure to cast your eye on this month’s “Day Tripper” and discover Long Island City, Queens. Some of its treasures include an outpost of Midtown’s Museum of Modern Art and a bar serving cocktails both eye-catching and creative.

Finally, art lovers, read our feature story on stars of the art world.

Whether new or established, these innovative artists are producing works that have people taking notice and are certainly worth a trip to the gallery.

October—it’s a wonderful in-between month. Memories of summer’s heat grows fainter in the rearview mirror, and yet, we’re not close enough to the holidays to start truly panicking about that gift for cranky Aunt Martha. So, enjoy these cool days with oh-so-cool venues and attractions in our rich and eclectic city. Grab a sweater, stuff this magazine in your pocket and hit that revolving door!

Pieces of Eight In a world of credit cards, Bitcoin and PayPal, physical money is fast becoming a part of history, some say.

Certainly, it’s treated as such at the Wall Street Coin, Currency and Collectibles Show (Oct. 17-19, www.wallstreetbourse .com, 1.203.292.6819), where some 30 dealers from all over the world congregate to buy and sell vintage bills, bonds, medallions, autographed receipts, engraved stock certificates (often, the shakier the company, the more elaborate its paper shares tended to be) and other monetized memorabilia. The fair takes place, appropriately, at the Museum of American Finance (48 Wall St., at William St.), which is located in the ornate, former headquarters of the Bank of New York in lower Manhattan. As a dividend, attendees can view the museum free of charge, including its current exhibit, The Fed at 100 (thru Oct. 1, 2014), which commemorates the centennial anniversary of the Federal Reserve System. Money may be the root of all evil, but in here, at least, it’s a beautiful thing.

A 1926 bronze commemorative medal marking the 300th anniversary of the founding of New Amsterdam is at the show.

RELAXING

Good Deals

A cleansing and cooling clay treatment is typical of the services offered by participating Spa Week providers.

There’s nothing like a massage or body wrap to relax the muscles— and nothing like a hefty tab to make them tense up again afterward. That won’t happen, however, during National Spa Week (Oct. 14-20, www.spaweek.com), when health and beauty providers offer services for $50—treatments that often cost in the three-figure range. At press time, some 70 local spas are on board, from Polished Finger Tips in Harlem (2198 Frederick Douglass Blvd., btw W. 118 & W. 119th sts., 1.212.222.4466) to the Tribeca Spa of Tranquility (462 Greenwich St., btw Desbrosses & Watts sts., 1.212. 226.4141). To give the visage a glow, perhaps a

ON OCT. 30, it’s “Happy Birthday” to Wicked d (Gershwin Theatre, 222 W. 51st St., btw Broadway & Eighth Ave., 1.877.250.2929), which marks 10 years and 4,157 performances on Broadway. For the last decade, the musical has—to quote one of its songs—defied gravity. Consider the statistics: More than 7 million people have seen the show at the Gershwin, where weekly grosses regularly exceed $1.8 million. Keeping Wicked’s ’ Tony-winning costumes in tiptop shape all this time has been a major undertaking, to the tune of 24,960 loads of laundry, using 7,780 gallons of eco-friendly detergent—and with no end in sight. In the handle-withcare category are Glinda’s Bubble dress (above, left), with its 68,200 sequins, and Elphaba’s Wicked Witch dress (above, right), with its skirt made of 290 yards of bias-cut ruffle in 37 fabrics. Wicked, indeed.

microdermabrasion with oxygen peel from Magnolia Organic Spa (111 E. 31st St., btw Lexington & Park aves., 1.212.725.5780)—or maybe a coconut milk body polish at Allure Day Spa (139 E. 55th St., at Lexington Ave., 1.212.644.5500) is more your style. Gents can enjoy too: The Spa at the OUT NYC hotel (510 W. 42nd St., btw 10th & 11th aves., 1.646.527.7940) offers a deep tissue massage to die for, at one-third the usual tariff. w w w. w.w whe ere re ttrave r a v e ler.c l e r. c om om

AROUND TOWN

Top: The Avon Walk for Breast Cancer draws thousands of pinkshirted participants.

Below: Marco Bicego’s bracelet is at Bloomingdale’s.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. From walking to wining, visitors to NYC can contribute to the cause in a variety of ways—doing good while doing the town.

PIÈCES D’OCCASION A piece of jewelry may be a bigger investment than a button—but, on the other hand, you can wear it all year long. Designers creating special BCA baubles include Marco Bicego, who does a rosy riff on his streamlined style with a lanierlike bracelet, exclusively at Bloomingdale’s (1000 Third Ave., at E. 59th St., 1.212.705.2000); 10 percent of proceeds go to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. The Lavish by Tricia Milaneze line of hand-crocheted, gold-threaded and glass-beaded bracelets, necklaces and earrings, which is available at Galleria J. Antonio (47 Ave A., btw E. 3rd & E. 4th sts., 1.212.

505.9400), is donating 20 percent of sales of select items to Pink Ribbon International.

BEST FOOT FORWARD For the 10th year, fund-raisers are taking it to the streets, in the annual Avon Walk for Breast Cancer (Oct. 19-20, 1.888.541.9255). In the New York marathon, thousands of pink-shirted marchers trace a route of either 26 or 39 miles that extends from Hudson River Park’s Pier 84 to Randall’s Island—a picturesque route for both participants and cheering onlookers. The money each walker raises goes to tri-state area hospitals and medical schools.

CALL FOR A CURE Ever spot a pair of earbuds or tablet case or cellphone cover that’s decorated with a riot of sparkling crystals? Chances are it’s by DEOS. The electronicaccessories maker is donating to the American Cancer Society 20 percent of the sales from its line of coveted iPhone 5 cases, including one completely covered in glittering pink Swarovski Elements and another in leather with the signature DEOS heart. They’re at Henri Bendel (712 Fifth Ave., btw 55th & 56th sts., 1.212.247.1100).

A TOAST TO HEALTH Sponsored by a company that makes low-caloried dips and dressings, the SkinnyEats Kickoff for Komen (Oct. 1, www.eatskinnyeats.com/#!/ c19b) promises to be a lavish affair: cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and a sit-down dinner at the oh-so-chic David Burke Townhouse, a favorite Upper East Side haunt. It’s to benefit the Susan G. Komen Foundation, Greater New York City, which receives a portion of ticket sales and all the proceeds from a silent auction that includes such goodies as private yoga classes and golf at a nearby country club.

When dining in October, consider ordering a bottle of FAT Bastard wine. Its New Jerseybased importer is donating 25 cents of every bottle of its French pinot noir, chardonnay and other varietals sold at retailers or restaurants, like Locksmith Wine Barr (4463 Broadway, at W. 192nd St., 1.212.304.9463) and Trix (145 Bedford Ave., at N. 9th St., Brooklyn, 1.347.599.0702), to cancer research and medical centers, many designated by its employees—a nice touch.

THE BODY BEAUTIFUL Who better to be in the breast-cancer fight than a bra-maker?

Wacoal contributes $2 of every purchase of its Retro Chic bra, a lacy concoction, to the Susan G. Komen Foundation; get fitted for one at Linda’s (552 Third Ave., btw E. 36th & E. 37th sts., 1. 646.736.1949). Estée Lauder, the beauty giant, has long been involved in the cause—in fact, the late Evelyn H. Lauder founded The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. That nonprofit receives a portion of sales of various Lauder Companies’ products throughout the month; for example, $5 per bottle of Bumble and bumble’s Spray de Mode (bb.Salon, 146 E. 56th St., btw Third & Lexington aves., 212.521.6500). Or, cruise through the cosmetics counters for special deals from brands like La Mer, Clinique, Smashbox and Lab Series.

The Breast Cancer Research Foundation is also benefiting from another passion—specifically, the new Passion scented candle developed by Nest Fragrances. Rosy of hue and redolent of roses and peony, it’s available at Lord & Taylor (424 Fifth Ave., btw 38th & 39th sts., 1.212.391.3344); 10 percent of its price goes to keeping BCRF’s efforts alight.—Troy Segal A portion of the sales of Nest’s Passion scent (far left) and DEOS’ Swarovski Elements-adorned iPhone case (left) goes to cancerfighting organizations.

Coffee Break Sometimes you need a pick-me-up—that sharpness of mind generated by a good cup of java. But don’t go crazy trying to find a place to sate those caffeine cravings. We’ve percolated a list of innovative coffee haunts. Cream or sugar?

FIKA A (41 W. 58th St., btw Fifth & Sixth aves., 1.212.832.0022) in Swedish means “coffee break,” but unlike the American on-the-go style, the Swedish tradition—and Fika—encourage patrons to stop and have a moment, and maybe a sweet or snack, too. The exquisite hand-rolled truffles, or the quirky beet and Swedish meatball wrap, for example, would make for a tasty pairing.

Upright Brew House

Homesick for summer vibes? At fusion shop/café SATURDAYS SURF SOHO (31 Crosby St., btw Grand & Broome sts., 1.212.966.7875), you can have a veritable beach day: Shop for surfboards, wet suits and other gear, while enjoying fine La Colombe coffee.

Blue Bottle Coffee

OUTLOOK: OKTOBERFEST

There’s a time of day for sipping java and another for swigging beer (or so the more responsible among us say), and you can have both at recently E (57 Hudson St., opened UPRIGHT BREW HOUSE at Perry St., 1.212.810.9944). During the morning hours, the joint is a go-to for locally roasted coffees and personal press pots of imported joe.

In the afternoon and evening, it transforms into a craft beer bar with a focus on NYC-based brews.

Oh, multitasking.

Some like it hot—in temperature and taste. At R (447 Graham Ave., btw Mexican BEANER BAR Richardson & Frost sts., Williamsburg, Brooklyn), the specialty coffees and mochas are infused with chili peppers. Combine that with a vivid décor that screams Cinco de Mayo, and you’ve got a buzz that knows no borders.

If you expect your barrista and d your coffee to be brimming with personality, visit I AM COF FEE (9 St. Marks Pl., btw Second & Third aves., 1.917.826.1174). In a tiny, brick-walled nook, young Italian duo Giovanni Finotto and Caterina Musajo prepare an ever-evolving menu of complex caffeinated concoctions (boozy options on offer) with the gravity of master mixologists. The pair is charmingly open and kind, serving your espresso with a side of anecdotes from the Old Country.

—William G. Frierson IV & Carly Pifer

Oktoberfest, that German jamboree of all things beer and bratwurst, isn’t just celebrated in Munich: NYC’s beer halls know how to throw a keg-tapping fete, too.

Zum Schneiderr (107 Ave. C, at E. 7th St., 1.212.598.1098), a rustic indoor biergarten, rouses crowds into a mug-sloshing, tablepounding state of euphoria during marathons of beer and live music (Oct. 1, 5-8, 12-13) by oompah band Mösl Franzi & the JaJaJas—yes, we’re talking tubas and piano accordions. Meanwhile, uptown, every day feels like Oktoberfest at Bierhauss (712 Third Ave., at E. 45th St., 1.212.867.2337),

a Bavarian beer hall, where a waitstaff clad in traditional costumes (to satisfy any lederhosen and dirndls fetishes) serves authentic eats, from imported soft-dough pretzels with mustard (above) to weisswurst. This month, the place gets especially festive with a series of events (thru Oct. 31), including live shows from the Polka Brothers every Tues. and Wed. (expect lighthearted, polka-style covers of contemporary pop songs), and an all-pro bratwurst-eating contest on Oct. 26. So, grab a stein, order some schnitzel and say willkommen to a month of Teutonic treats.—W.F.

If you like a serious jolt from your daily fix, BLUE E prides BOTTLE COFFEE itself on using vintage techniques to make smallbatch blends. The result?

Gratifyingly strong, flavorful cups. The outpost on the High Line (at 10th Ave. & W. 16th St.) is a great extra on the popular promenade, and when you add baked goods delivered fresh daily from Blue Bottle’s Brooklyn kitchen, you’ve got a personal café on prime real estate.

PROST DBGB Kitchen & Bar (p. 57) toasts Oktoberfest with a choucroute royale special, an Alsatian combo of champagne ‘kraut, sausages and charcuterie, thru Oct. 31.

DAY TRIPPER / LONG ISLAND CITY, QUEENS

Art School One of the major draws for a trip to Long Island City is touring the epicenter of cutting-edge art, MoMA PS1 (22-25 Jackson Ave., at 46th Ave., 1.718.784.2084).

This former schoolhouse is now home to meticulously curated exhibits, often large-scale, all-consuming and always at the forefront of cool. On view Oct. 12-Feb. 2, 2014, Mike Kelley, whose more than 200 exploratory, mixed-media works take over the entire space.

“Unlike relationships, Dutch Kills (27-24 Jackson Ave., btw Purves & Queens sts., 1.718.383.2724) does NOT disappoint.” So reads a torn napkin, the loving review from a patron which is now framed inside this narrow, dimly lit bar. Strong, artisanal cocktails like the fruity “Brandy Cobbler,” imbibed in sturdy, wooden booths accompanied by hearty pub fare, lead to a jovial, old-time feel.

LOCAL SPOT

GOOD SPIRITS

For a little taste of France, get cozy at the neighborhood joint Tournesol (50-12 Vernon Blvd., btw 51st & 50th aves., 1.718.472.4355).

While the house specialties do not stray far from a typical French bistro menu—moules frites, duck breast with honey sauce, croque monsieur—the dishes are made with care and presented by a very friendly waitstaff.

By Terry Trucco

“Mary’s Lake, MT 11” (2012) is typical of Matthew Brandt’s photos: abstract, drenched in color and imbued with materials reflective of the topic—in this case, water from the actual lake—which allow “subject and image to meet and collide,” the artist says.

’s hard for an artist to know when his or her career is about to take off. But one pretty good sign is having a work snapped up by the mighty Metropolitan Museum of Art for its permanent collection—and then having that work displayed in a special exhibit, not far from pieces by 20th-century titans like Christo and Robert Smythson.

That’s what happened to art photographer Matthew Brandt this past summer, when his monumental landscape, “Mary’s Lake, MT 9” (2012) proved a crowd-pleaser at the Met’s Land Marks show. “It’s a crazy honor,” says the self-effacing Brandt, who, at age 31, was the youngest artist in the exhibit.

Indeed, New York’s thriving art scene has been catnip to generations of young artists, with a mega-cast of museums, galleries, art schools, auction houses and collectors.

All this makes our town a prime hunting ground for anyone eager to spot a fresh talent, watch a promising artist blossom or augment a collection. Even artists not in residence seek a nod from a New York museum, press from

a New York critic and representation by a New York gallery.

Brandt, for example, works and shows in Los Angeles, but also is represented in New York by the Yossi Milo Gallery (245 10th Ave., btw W. 24th & W. 25th sts., 1.212.414.0370), which placed “Mary’s Lake, MT 9” at the Met and another Brandt work at the Brooklyn Museum. “There’s a lot going on in his pictures,” says dealer Yossi Milo, who’s planning a new Brandt show for next spring. At the Met exhibit, viewers admired “Mary’s Lake” as much for its otherworldly beauty and vibrant coloration as for the idea behind it. Brandt developed the 8-foot-wide, near-abstract image using water he collected from the lake itself, a technique he pioneered with a series of tiny portraits of friends developed using their sweat or tears. His practice of embedding physical elements from the objects depicted in his photos allows “subject and image to meet and collide,” the artist says. And by choosing unconventional elements like dust, bees and even gummy bears, Brandt guarantees no two of his works will be remotely alike.

To say 2013 has been the year of Swiss-born Brooklyn artist Carol Bove (pronounced bo-VAY) is almost an understatement. In May, Caterpillar, her commissioned assemblage of seven ruggedly sensuous abstract sculptures, began a yearlong residence amid the weeds and splintered rail ties of an unfinished expanse of the High Line, New York’s elevated park. Two months later, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) unveiled The Equinox, a compelling commissioned ensemble of seven sculptures (on view thru Jan. 12, 2014) that range from “Silver Compass,“ a jewel-like shower of shimmering silver beads and chains in Plexiglas to the aptly named “Disgusting Mattress,” a spring-spewing construct inspired by a decaying street find. And thru Oct. 19, the 42-year-old artist’s solo show RA, or Why Is an Orange Like a Bell? of new metal and concrete pieces interwoven with relics from the archives of Beat poet Lionel Ziprin is at Maccarone Gallery (630 Greenwich St., at Morton St., 1.212.431.4977). Why is Bove’s work, which marries modernist forms like cubes and cylinders with unexpected found materials like seashells, driftwood and peacock feathers, suddenly in the spotlight? “Every one of Carol’s assembled sculptures tells a story, not only a history of art but a history of us,” says Laura Hoptman, curator of paintings and sculpture at MoMA. “You can see the visual beauty, the calm, the hopefulness in her work”—soothing balm in these jittery times. Adds Hoptman: “We always get the art we need.”

The Brooklyn Academy of Music’s Fisher Theater and the new Barclays Center got precisely the art they needed when, in 2012 and 2013, respectively, they commissioned murals from another rising Brooklyn artist, José Parlá. A master of the grand scale who got his pre-art-school start painting on walls around the city at night, Parlá, 40, creates complex, color-rich abstract paintings embedded with words he often obscures in layers of paint: Close inspection of “Diary of Brooklyn,” the Barclays mural, reveals borough-centric monikers like street names, words plucked from James Agee’s novel Brooklyn Is and hip-hop lyrics by Big Daddy Kane. The underlying words and flourishes in the Fisher Theater’s “Gesture Performing Dance, Dance Performing Gesture” “become the linear movement of historical performers,” says the artist. Outside Brooklyn, Parlá fans, who include Tom Ford, Eric Clapton and Agnès B., can find his works at the Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery (505 W. 24th St., at 10th Ave., 1.212.243.8830), where they now fetch anywhere from $50,000 to $125,000 and up, depending on size. Parlá relishes working on a large scale: “The canvas is like a palimpsest,” he says. “The process is a performance.”

Alison Elizabeth Taylor proves that the right artist can reinvent an age-old craft. Marquetry is her medium, the 16th-century art of piecing together minute wood fragments in decorative patterns. But Taylor blazes her own path. Her latest pieces, in her show Surface Tension at James Cohan

Carol Bove’s “Triguna” (2012), a piece that characteristically melds manufactured geometric forms to found objects, such as shells and peacock feathers, is part of the artist’s current solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art.

Gallery (533 W. 26th St., btw 10th & 11th aves., 1.212.714.9500, Oct. 24-Nov. 30), introduce oil paint to marquetry’s traditional implements of wood and shellac, adding depth to the contrasting textures of the woods in still life portraits and renderings from nature. Taylor embraced the craft of inlaid wood after seeing the Studiolo from the Ducal Palace in Gubbio, the Metropolitan Museum’s room-size marquetry masterpiece.

“Real wood grain is very expressive,” says the 40-year-old artist, who had been integrating pieces of wood-grained contact paper into her paintings for years. Her move to mar-

quetry ignited her imagination—and her career. Critics took note of a 2010 series exhibited at Cohan, depicting damage to foreclosed houses: works fashioned from meticulous wood renderings of mutilated drywall, floorboards and light sockets. (Marquetry’s history as an aristocratic adornment heaped irony on the gritty subject matter.) Lately, curators have come calling, too. Against the Grain: Wood in Contemporary Art, Craft and Design, a recent show at the Museum of Arts and Design, featured two Taylor works, including a rendering of waterdamaged linoleum designed to be displayed on the floor.

Contemporary Chinese art is increasingly in demand as mainland artists flex their creative muscles, freed from

d decades of constraints. One closely watched m muscle-flexor is Beijing sculptor Chen Wenlling, who first appeared on art collectors’ rradar in China and the West after a splashy d debut at the 2006 Beijing Biennale. Three yyears later, he made headlines with his masssive bronze of a man with the face of Bernie M Madoff pinned to the wall by a charging b bull. “His international notoriety skyrocketed aafter that,” says dealer Martha Sutherland, w whose M. Sutherland Fine Arts handles C Chen’s work in New York (1.212.249.0428, b by appointment). Chen, 43, channels his cclassical art training into formidable works iinfused with rawness, bawdiness and wit tthat fetch from $20,000 to $45,000. “Chen’s sstyle reflects the earthy folk culture of his h home in Fujian Province in southern China,” ssays Sutherland. One work in her inventory, ““Pig,” is a congenial but smug-looking sow w with a coin slot for an anus—a gimlet-eyed ccomment on China’s new rich. “Pigs are symb bols of wealth and fertility, but Chen takes tthem to a comic extreme,” Sutherland says.

The shimmering halls of Lincoln Center’s D David H. Koch Theater, home to the New Y York City Ballet, are a long leap from the w walls of the derelict downtown buildings w where FAILE, the Brooklyn-based art team o of Patrick McNeil and Patrick Miller, wheatp pasted their earliest creations. But in winter 2 2013, FAILE made the jump appear effortless. For months, their cheeky graphic art (commissioned by the ballet troupe) filled the theater—the highlight was a 40-foot tower constructed from hundreds of printed and hand-painted woodblocks mixing ballet iconography with pop culture subjects—and adorned the programs. London’s Tate Modern museum and a nature park in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, are a few of the places FAILE’s art has appeared. But their formative years as art-school-trained street artists continue to inform the 37-year-old duo, and also influence their business approach. Though brick-and-mortar places, such as Kezler Gallery (200 North Sea Rd., Southhampton, N.Y., 1.631.204.0353), carry their works, FAILE has an ardent social media following, which signs up online (www .faile.net) to purchase new limited-edition prints priced from $500 by lottery. “Previous generations didn’t have the opportunity to use the Internet this way,” notes Miller.

For art aficionados, talent spotters, collectors and anyone hungry for a taste of the new, New York City’s art world awaits, its ranks filled with fresh creative voices.

GALLERIES & ANTIQUES DISTRICTS In general, commercial art galleries and antiques shops are concentrated in five areas of Manhattan: The Upper East Side. Madison Ave., both on and off the avenue, is a particularly rich hunting ground for the connoisseur and collector of fine art and decorative 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. 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 from 18th-century English to Biedermeier.

Back in the day, John and Bart DeCoursy would throw parties at their mother’s house when she went out of town, the cars of friends lining their suburban street. Today, the party still comes to them—this time at Brooklyn’s Sidecar, their very own rustic restaurant and bar, serving comfort classics, such as buttermilkfried chicken with root mash and kale sautéed with bacon (left). An interior brick wall sports a vintage ad for a late-19th-century serum, Dr. Tucker’s 59—”Cures coughs, colds: For all pain.” While the FDA outlawed the cocaineinfused concoction in 1907, a modern riff on the all-purpose remedy can be sipped at the bar.

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.
