Le Dîner en Blanc is the dinner party of the season, where everyone dresses up to the nines in head-to-toe white, as the invitation insists. Guests bring their own gourmet food, china, silverware, folding chairs, table—and a white tablecloth, of course—to a location that is only revealed at the last minute. Surprise is part of the fun. That and eating, drinking and dancing the night away under the stars. | dinerenblanc.com

1. Cherry Whiskey Sour at The Fulton 2. Sushi and a hand roll at SushiNao 3. Crawfish at Tang Hotpot 4. The bar at Gitano Garden of Love
4 Summertime in the city can be hotter than hot. So, why are we even mentioning the Lower East Side restaurant Tang Hotpot (135 Bowery, 917.421.9330), whose name conjures up steaming broths? Chilled crawfish is the warm-weather draw here. Crawfish are shipped fresh from Louisiana, but their preparation is pure Chinese. After being boiled, the crustaceans are braised with a special sauce made with Chinese rice wine, crystal sugar, cinnamon, star anise and other spices. They are then presented on a mountain of crushed ice. Cool, indeed. Sushi is another surefire way to beat the heat, and SushiNao (311 W. 17th St., 646.861.0086), new to Chelsea, serves up four multicourse prix fixe sushi menus—playfully named Taste, Delight, Pleasure and Bliss. Think: edamame,

carpaccio, nigiri and hand rolls. Obviously, seafood is a no-brainer in summer, but that only partially explains the fanfare surrounding The Fulton (Pier 17, 89 South St., 212.838.1200) in the South Street Seaport neighborhood. This is master chef and empire builder Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s first seafood restaurant. That’s such a big deal, we’ll lift a frosty house Cherry Whiskey Sour to its success. Desirable as it is, alfresco dining can be a challenge at this time of year, but not under the 30-foot-tall palm trees at Gitano Garden of Love (76 Varick St., entrance on Grand St., 212.201.9119). The open-air oasis in SoHo, with a bedouin-style tent shading its bar, serves healthful Mexican-inspired plates like an asparagus asado and a super-refreshing watermelon salad.

Notorious for playing psychos and killers, Michael Shannon shows a softer side in “Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune” BY DAVID COTE
Michael Shannon and Audra McDonald in “Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune” on Broadway
“P
EOPLE CONSIDER me a very serious dude or whatever, but I’m actually not,” Michael Shannon says. “I’m pretty goofy when it comes down to it.” Talk to the actor for a while, and you have to agree. Although he answers questions about his career with earnest humility, a dryly self-deprecating side comes out, as if the two-time Oscar nominee would hate to sound pretentious. That focused but irreverent mind-set has allowed Shannon to step into a variety of dark, demanding roles: a pious Prohibition agent corrupted in “Boardwalk Empire;” the cruel, amphibian-humanoid-hunting Colonel Strickland in “The Shape of Water;” and, in “Man of Steel,” Superman’s megalomaniacal nemesis, General Zod.

Shannon has no problem playing bad guys, or good guys on the edge of madness. That’s why his latest gig on Broadway is such a departure. He stars opposite Broadway royalty Audra McDonald in Terrence McNally’s 1987 two-hander, “Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune.” In this revival (at the Broadhurst Theatre through Aug. 25), the two actors play co-workers at a diner—a cook and a waitress—who hook up one evening. Will a night of casual sex lead to true love for these urban lonely hearts? Shannon talked with IN New York about the play, his approach to acting, and how humor in great playwriting is “the saliva for breaking down the great tragedies of life.”

ISN’T HE
Who is Johnny, this guy you play?
Well, he’s a survivor. And he’s had kind of a crazy life. I don’t want to go into too much detail, but currently he’s a cook at a diner and he’s middle-aged and he’s alone and he’s just trying to enjoy life as much as he can. He tries to educate himself. But he doesn’t have anybody in his life.
And he hooks up one night with Frankie, a waitress played by Audra McDonald, winner of umpteen Tony Awards. How’s the chemistry between you two?
Oh, I adore Audra. What I respect and respond to in people I work with is their work ethic. How serious they are about what they’re doing, and how hard are they willing to work to get it done. She’s one of the hardest-working people I’ve ever been on stage with. She’s relentless.
In movies you often play killers and villains. Is this play an effort to show your romantic side?
It’s weird. Acting—the way I look at it— doesn’t really have anything to do with me. My job is to try and figure out as much about Johnny as I humanly can through the tapestry of my own life. I

Tracy’s writing has changed a bit, and he’s branched out into different subjects. He’s got plays now like “The Minutes,” which is a bunch of scenes set, I believe, at a town council. Very different from “Killer Joe” or “Bug.” What we were making back then, I don’t know if we could do that anymore. That was fire
Michael Shannon in rehearsal for “Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune”
You’ve acted all over Chicago, in London’s West End, and downtown. What’s special about Broadway? I love these theaters, man. There’s so much history. I get off on the notion of all the people that have been in there and done the work, and all the ghosts—that’s exciting. The hard part is getting there through Times Square. That I could do without, but once I walk in the [stage] door, it’s like a church. It’s a little demanding, doing a two-character show in a 1,100-seat theater, but the designers have done a hell of a job in making it feel very intimate.
Do you have any movies coming out that you’re excited about?
I made this movie called “The Current War” that’s finally coming out in August. It’s a Harvey Weinstein picture, and when he got into his situation, it was delayed. I play George Westinghouse, Benedict Cumberbatch plays Thomas Edison and Nicholas Hoult plays Nikola Tesla, and it’s about the battle between alternating current and direct current, and who was going to provide electricity for the 1893 World’s Fair. I know that sounds perhaps a little dry and scientific, but it’s actually a really interesting story. IN NEW YORK | JULY-AUGUST 2019 | INNEWYORK.COM

Dining catches of the day (and night) BY MERYL PEARLSTEIN
Brooklynites and Manhattanites have a thing for waterfront dining even when they can’t get to the beach. Fresh air, showstopping views and good food give the city an edge when it comes to this favorite dining indulgence.

The River Café in Brooklyn’s DUMBO neighborhood has commanded the city’s waterside dining scene since 1977: the grand dame of special-occasion dining where venue and views match the caliber of food and service. The beloved restaurant’s very specific dress code adds to the specialness of the experience, and diners reserve well in advance for a waterside table with stunning views of the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges and the East River. The prix fixe dinner menu is fine dining at its loftiest with starters including caviar and foie gras, followed by rack of lamb or roast duck. While desserts vary, you can expect the likes of soufflés and other seasonal creations. For an elegant start to your day, breakfast is served weekdays, with brunch on Saturday and Sunday. The restaurant sits on a pier and, while stationary, you’ll clearly have the sense that you’re dining right on the water. After acknowledging the tuxedoed doorman who welcomes you, be sure to look around the entry ramp where oversized flower arrangements and seafaring memorabilia make you feel like you’ve just boarded a private yacht. Also in Brooklyn, with a dramatic harborside setting, Pilot is casual, neighborhoody dining set to a breeze. The graceful schooner-cum-restaurant sits aside Pier 6 in Brooklyn Bridge Park with a glorious backdrop of passing boats, ferries and water taxis, all in view of the Manhattan skyline. You’ll want to try the restaurant’s citrusy sea bream ceviche

or juniper-cured arctic char, each prepared with a commitment to sustainability by star chef Kerry Heffernan. And no one leaves without ordering oysters or one of the signature cocktails like the Get on Up, a spiced-up version of a margarita. Along with some seaside rocking and an occasional stiff breeze to add to the waterfront sensation, you’ll enjoy a mini-vacation in the middle of New York Harbor as you listen to reggae tunes and other beachy faves. A secret to many, Manhattan Island has its own satellite island with its own island culture, Governors Island. Sitting between Manhattan and Brooklyn, the island is a gem for parks, picnics and staying cool on a sweltering city day. Here, the seasonal Island Oyster is a casual open-air hangout for bivalves and other seafood while offering an in-city island holiday. Try the blue-toned rummy Permanent Vacation—it’ll definitely put you in a Jimmy Buffett frame of mind. Prepare to get wet, as tables are so close to the water that waves often crash onto diners. For even more fun, there’s pingpong, live music and a kids’ menu. To get to Governors Island, grab a ferry just north of the Staten Island ferry terminal. Stand to the right side and you’ll get close-up views of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island during the eight-minute trip. If you’re craving some outdoor refueling when you return to the mainland of Manhattan Island from your seafaring

excursion, you can make two brief waterfront cocktail-andoyster stops at Battery Gardens Restaurant or the Oyster House at Pier A Harbor House, each with head-on views of busy New York Harbor. Continue your waterside stroll along Battery Park north to Hudson River Park where you’ll reach another boatturned-restaurant and bar, Grand Banks. The beautifully appointed former fishing vessel with its yellow-and-white sails sits at Pier 25 in TriBeCa. Views are guaranteed here as well, but you’ll have to decide which way to face: toward the Hudson River and the burgeoning New Jersey skyline or toward Downtown Manhattan, where One World Trade Center and the cityscape present a photographic background like no other. Menu highlights are the lobster roll dressed with fennel, lemon and dulse emulsion; and potato-crusted soft-shell crabs, a wonderful choice for the gluten-free diner in your party. A delicious dessert, Key lime mousse, keeps the summer spirit going as does the Revolución, a summerlight libation of vodka, mint and bitters. Plan to visit during a weekday, if possible, as the post-work bar scene and weekend crowds create long lines to get on board. If the perfect waterfront sunset is on your bucket list, consider the rooftop at City Vineyard instead, one pier north. The views are equally stunning, and you can try one of City Winery’s eight vintages on tap.
You might have started to feel that you’ve lost sight of the greener aspects of New York City. Then Central Park should be your next destination where shady lawns and bench-lined promenades offer a welcoming refuge from the summer sun. Here, the Loeb Boathouse continues the tradition of grand park dining with views so elegant they call up images of the Gilded Age or “The Great Gatsby.” Tables by the railing look out over a lake where boaters paddle rented rowboats, a gondolier ferries guests on an authentic Venetian gondola and turtles happily swim in the greenish water. The menu at the fine-dining restaurant is contemporary American with seafood standouts like crab cakes, salmon and halibut as well as choices for landlubbers and vegetarians. Start or finish your meal with a cocktail on the outdoor patio with water lapping at your feet. For a casual all-day alternative, the boathouse’s Express Café features quick choices like burgers, muffins and a coffee bar. You can enter the park from the East Side on 72nd Street and follow the drive north to the restaurant, or hail the Boathouse shuttle that runs from 10 am until closing from 90th Street along Fifth Avenue into the park. (Note: no cars or taxis are allowed). And don’t forget to bring your camera. You’ll need proof that New York City is much more than skyscrapers and crowds. If you look hard enough, you might even see fish splashing while you dine. IN NEW YORK | JULY-AUGUST 2019 | INNEWYORK.COM

MOONSTRUCK New York relives the wonder of Apollo 11

EVEN AS A child, I considered sleep to be the most precious commodity on Earth—more valuable than gold, diamonds or Topps baseball cards. So, as a 9-year-old boy blissfully lost to the dreamworld in my New Jersey bedroom, I was more than a little annoyed—not to mention perplexed— when my parents shook me awake around 10 pm on July 20, 1969, turned on our very small black-and-white television, and insisted I focus on some previously unthinkable event happening far, far, far away. Of course, 50 years later, like many Americans, I vividly remember the thrill of watching Neil Armstrong plant his feet on the surface of the moon and utter those now immortal words: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” It was the beginning of a new era in America, not only of space exploration, but of possibilities for a brighter future. Unsurprisingly, there are a huge variety of ways to celebrate, commemorate and honor this milestone throughout New York City. Here are 11 suggestions that are sure to “land” with you and your family. PICTURE PERFECT Leave it to the august Metropolitan Museum of Art (1000 Fifth Ave., 212.535.7710) to create “Apollo’s Muse: The Moon in the Age of Photography,” a must-see exhibition of more than 250 photographs and drawings related to the moon and space—some dating as far back as the 1500s, others showing moments from that historic 1969 mission. All of them will definitely fascinate viewers of all ages. JOIN THE SPACE RACE The American Museum of Natural History (Central Park West, at W. 79th St., 212.769.5100) marks the occasion on July 20 with “SpaceFest,” a day of family-friendly presentations, performances and hands-on activities about the wonders of the moon, Mars and beyond. And whether you’re there that day—or simply have to visit another time—make sure to stop by the museum’s world-famous Hayden Planetarium for a look at its extraordinary 25-minute “Dark Universe” space show. INTREPID GOINGS-ON The Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum (Pier 86, 12th Ave., at W. 46th St., 212.245.0072) is going all-out; there is a special pop-up installation, the “Giant Leaps Planetarium Show” and a special night of comedy all set for July 20. Meanwhile, all summer long, you can take in “Apollo 11: Media, the Moon and Beyond,” an imaginative installation of archived news media displayed on vintage televisions, located beneath the Intrepid’s space shuttle!
Opposite page: John Adams Whipple’s daguerreotype, “View of the Moon” from 1852, is featured in The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s exhibition, “Apollo’s Muse: The Moon in the Age of Photography.” The image is as aesthetically beautiful as it is scientifically accurate.

TIME FOR THE TIMELINE There is no more important document related to the moon landing than the Apollo 11 Lunar Module Timeline Book, a manual which was created for the express purpose of accomplishing this once-unimaginable feat, and which sat between Armstrong and fellow astronaut Buzz Aldrin as they made that historic touchdown. Christie’s New York (20 Rockefeller Plz., 212.636.2000) auctions this remarkable item on July 18 (with public viewings available from July 11 to 17). The book’s presale estimate is between $7 million and $9 million. TAKE A LEAP Talk about special events: “One Giant Leap: The Apollo 11 Moon Landing, 50 Years On,” to be held on July 21 at The Town Hall (123 W. 43rd St., 212.997.6661), begins with remarks by New York Times executive editor Dean Baquet; continues with a reading of a new short play by Tony Award winner J. T. Rogers and featuring Samuel L. Jackson and Jeff Daniels; and concludes with a discussion with NASA veterans of the Apollo missions, including Apollo 11 pilot Michael Collins.

UP, UP AND AWAY! One consequence of the moon landing was that every kid wanted to become an astronaut, and that’s just as true today. In “Above and Beyond,” at the New York Hall of Science (47-01 111th St., Queens, 718.699.0005), visitors can immerse themselves in the wonders of flight, space travel and aerospace innovation. Among the highlights are the chance to step into a simulated space elevator that travels to the edge of the universe and the opportunity to design and test a supersonic fighter jet in a virtual high-speed flying competition.

DRESS TO IMPRESS In the 1960s and 1970s, no one was on the cutting edge of fashion more than the great French couturier Pierre Cardin. Fittingly, “Pierre Cardin: Future Fashion,” an exciting new exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum (200 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, 718.638.5000), presents over 170 objects drawn from his atelier and archives, including clothing, furniture, lighting, fashion sketches, personal photographs and more, all displayed in an environment inspired by Cardin’s unique design sense. Oh là là!
DO NOT PASS “GO” There are other ways to get to Carnegie Hall (Seventh Ave., at W. 57th St., 212.247.7800) than practice, practice, practice. For example, you can buy a ticket to historian John Monsky’s “We Chose to Go to the Moon” on July 20. This multimedia presentation features stunning photography and film from NASA, along with performances of David Bowie’s “Space Oddity,” Elton John’s “Rocket Man” and Bart Howard’s “Fly Me to the Moon” by a 30-piece orchestra and a cast of Broadway singers.
THE WRITE STUFF If you’re looking for a permanent way to mark this occasion, consider purchasing one of Montblanc’s new writing instruments from its just-introduced StarWalker collection (600 Madison Ave., 212.223.8888). These ballpoint and fountain pens pay tribute to the 50th anniversary of the moon landing through the use of black precious resin (which recalls the dark vast expanse of space), a translucent dome (that evokes the Earth rising above the horizon) and a polished platinum cap and barrel (which represent the astronaut). They’re perfect for writing a journal entry on July 20—or any other day! LIFE IS LOOKING UP Last, but not least, you can simply step outside and gaze at the moon. But if you want to do it right, join the Amateur Astronomers Association of New York (aaa.org), which hosts public viewings of the night sky at various locations around town, including The High Line and Lincoln Center. And don’t worry if you don’t own a telescope or binoculars as the group’s members bring their own and will allow you to use theirs (and even encourage you to ask questions if you do want to eventually purchase your own equipment).

WATCH WHAT HAPPENS Here’s a trivia question: What was the first watch worn on the moon? The answer: The Omega Speedmaster, a then state-of-the-art chronograph. Now, Omega has released a Limited Edition Speedmaster with an exclusive new 18-karat gold alloy and which is powered by a brand-new manual-winding Master Chronometer caliber 3861. In addition, Sotheby’s New York (1334 York Ave., 212.606.7000) hosts an auction of vintage Omega Speedmasters on July 19 (to be followed on July 20 with a “Space Exploration” auction). Finally, should the Omega simply not be your speed, consider purchasing Swiss watchmaker RJ’s new ARRAW 6919 timepiece, which is made with authentic material sourced from the original Apollo 11 spacecraft and featuring a patented Moon movement (thewatchbox.com).
