Teenager Regina George is the meanest member of The Plastics clique—the high school pink pack she leads—in the Broadway musical “Mean Girls.” But the actress playing her, Taylor Louderman (left, center), admires her in spite of that. “I love how strong Regina is,” says Taylor. “Yes, she has to learn how to use her powers for good, but I so idolize how she owns who she is and never apologizes for it.” Acting a villain can be fun, too. Did Taylor draw on her own life experiences when prepping the role? “I have four little sisters so I’m sure I toyed with abusing girl power at home when my parents weren’t watching,” she confesses with a smile and a very pronounced wink. | August Wilson Theatre, 245 W. 52nd St., 877.250.2929

THE WORLD OF MARVEL COMICS AS THE BLACK WIDOW ASSASSIN IN “THE AVENGERS” FRANCHISE, AUDIENCES CAN’T GET ENOUGH.

EVER SINCE THIS BORN-AND-RAISED NEW YORK SUPERSTAR JOINED
MANHATTAN NATIVE Scarlett Johansson may not be playing a true superhero in the new Marvel film, “The Avengers: Infinity War,” which just opened in April. After all, her character, Natasha Romanoff (aka Black Widow), is merely a highly trained spy and assassin without any real superpowers. But there can be little argument that the 33-year-old actress is an actual superwoman when it comes to theatrical prowess. The daughter of Bronx-born Melanie Sloan (also Johansson’s manager for many years) and Danish-born architect Karsten Johansson, she is now one of the 10 highest-paid actresses in Hollywood. Johansson also has a slew of awards on her mantel, including a Tony Award for her work in the 2010 Broadway revival of “A View From the Bridge.” On a social note, she dates one of the hottest men in television (“Saturday Night Live” star Colin Jost); and is a loving mother to her 3 ½-year old daughter Rose Duriac. (Johansson is divorced from both Rose’s father, businessman Romain Duriac, and her first husband, film actor Ryan Reynolds). She has literally appeared in dozens of films since making her big-screen debut at age 9 opposite John Ritter in the 1994 film “North.” And while she has had the good fortune to work with several acclaimed directors, from Woody Allen (“Vicky Cristina Barcelona,” “Match Point”) to Ethan and Joel Coen (“Hail, Caesar!”), one of her most notable films was Sofia Coppola’s 2003 “Lost in Translation,” in which she played an unhappy Yale philosophy student in Japan who makes a strong emotional connection with a washed-up movie star, played by Bill Murray. But it’s the role of Natasha/Black Widow—which fell into her lap when Emily Blunt had to drop out of 2010’s “Iron Man 2,” and which Johansson is now playing for the sixth time—that the superstar truly treasures. “I really like playing Natasha. It’s been such an interesting journey to take a character and peel the layers back and be able to, as you do in life, grow with this person,” she says. “It’s a character that’s really enigmatic and has an amazing origins story, so there’s a lot for me to play off of.” As Johansson also notes, it’s a role that has allowed her to expand her horizons, as well as the film industry’s perception of her. “I think for such a long time, I felt kind of pigeonholed as this ingenue. Maybe that was just a literal reflection of my life at that time. I’m a very curious person, and the Marvel universe has opened up so many opportunities for me to stretch myself in ways that I never thought would be possible,” she says. “I don’t think I have seen a film of this genre where the female characters’ sex appeal sort of came second. When you have a sexy secretary, or a girl swinging around by her ankles in a catsuit, you know that’s innately sexy, but the fact is that the characters in these films are intelligent, ambitious, motivated and calculat-
ed to some degree.” Johansson readily admits she has some mixed feelings about her ingenue/sex symbol status. “There was this label put on me early in my career as this bombshell,” she says. “Although I think it’s been flattering to be considered someone who is sexy, there’s something very confining about that. It implies that your strength comes from your sexuality. One reason I like playing the Black Widow is that the physical part of this role was something I’d never gotten to experience. That was something that pushed me out of my comfort zone.” Indeed, there are areas in life where Johansson feels extremely comfortable—and others where she does not. She has little trouble being politically outspoken, as was evident when she got angry in January at the organizers of the Time’s Up movement for supporting James Franco (who has been accused of sexual harassment) at the Golden Globes. “I grew up in a household that was politically conscious and where it was just understood that it was important, that it was our responsibility,” she says. Conversely, Johansson prefers to keep her private life to herself. She has had little to say about her two divorces and has yet to publicly comment on her romance with Jost (whom she met in 2006 during her first stint hosting “SNL” and began dating in 2017). Nonetheless, the pair has been seen openly everywhere in New York, from trendy Upper East Side eatery The East Pole to the skating rink in Rockefeller Center to a recent “SNL” afterparty at Dos Caminos. “I don’t talk about my personal relationships: It ends up kicking you in the face,” she states.“But I’ve read a lot of things about myself and think, ‘Wow! That girl sounds really saucy.’” Only a small section of “The Avengers: Infinity War” was shot in the Big Apple, but wherever she happens to be filming, New York is never far from her thoughts. “I’m a New Yorker. It’s something that follows you,” says Johansson. “It’s an inherent part of how you approach life in general, being a city kid. I carry it with me whether I’m aware of it or not. How I function in other cities, how I problem-solve, how I get things done, how I communicate: It’s all the product of growing up in a city where anything is possible,” she says. That may explain, in part, why Johansson has no intention of resting on her laurels. “My experience has been that with every risk, there’s a loss and gain. I get a lot of power from taking risks and bracing myself for the outcome,” she notes. “Every day, I’m learning more about my job and my boundaries—how far I can push them, what makes me comfortable, what makes me uncomfortable. And that curiosity helps me figure out how to refine my performance, how to find my kind of natural rhythm.” Nor is she concerned about aging. “It’s a great thing to get older and learn. I don’t feel bound by how many years I’ve lived,” she proclaims. Now, that’s what you call a super attitude! IN NEW YORK | MAY 2018 | INNEWYORK.COM

Gorgeous plating is one reason why people love to dine out in New York’s top-tier food palaces. BY LOIS ANZELOWITZ LEVINE
BACK in my college days, I got a job working in a casual restaurant in the student union—you know, the type of place where hungry college kids grab a sandwich, a burger, maybe a bowl of soup. Only 18 at the time, I knew next to nothing about how food was supposed to be displayed; but during my training, my more experienced colleague explained, “You will find out it really is true, that when food looks prettier on the plate, it will make people want to eat it.” It was a novel discovery at the time, something I had never really thought about. Fast-forward so many years later, and, as an avowed foodie and restaurant writer for this magazine, I certainly have found out how “true” this is. In a town where top chefs are considered craftsmen, restaurants develop reputations partially built on how artfully delicacies are placed on a plate. BizBash, a well-known resource for event and meeting professionals, gives awards for food plating; top cooking schools like the Culinary Institute of America, offer Facing page: L’Atelier Joël courses on the art of plating; and there are even books on the subject.

EATING HEALTHIER—something we all vow to do, but also tend to forget on a big night out or on vacation. Whether we’re munching on french fries instead of kale chips, or downing a margarita instead of a super fruit smoothie, we’ve all had that brief moment when we know we’re not making the healthiest of choices, but indulge anyway. The good news: Many bars around the Big Apple have jumped on the healthy cocktail bandwagon, whipping up alcoholic beverages with key super foods and healthy ingredients like ginger, celery and a variety of vegetables and vegetable juices. We’ve rounded up a few watering holes offering some of the best healthy cocktails in the city. One vegetable that many can agree on as the be-all and end-all of leafy green is godlike kale. Among other benefits, kale is high in iron, vitamins K, A and C—important for cardiovascular support—and is filled with powerful antioxidants. Rouge Tomate (126 W. 18th St., 646.395.3978) is one Chelsea bistro that serves up a popular specialty cocktail simply named kale. Cristian Molina, head bartender for Rouge Tomate, says that the cocktail is a popular menu item, as it is perceived as a healthier alternative to most other beverages. Made with kale and cucumber juice, house-made ginger beer, fresh lemon juice and tequila, it’s easy to understand why the drink sparks a healthy (pun intended) curiosity in those who order it. “Firstly, I think people are interested in seeing what kale Facing page: The Upper Eastsider from 2nd Floor Bar & Essen.

tastes like in a cocktail, and secondly, it’s, ‘OK, we’re not drinking something super unhealthy, we’re balancing the drink with some good ingredients,’” Molina says. “There’s benefits in drinking kale, so we see a lot of people going for it.” On top of their health benefits, fresh ingredients add a dynamic level of flavor to an otherwise ordinary drink. Dania Kim, manager of Do Hwa (55 Carmine St., 212.414.1224) in the West Village, explains that incorporating health-conscious and fresh ingredients into the making of a drink can lead to a surprising kick. Her authentic Korean barbecue eatery serves up a sweet potato vodka (sweet potatoes are rich in vitamin A), which is certainly an unexpected ingredient to discover in a drink. Do Hwa also offers the Lulu & Léo, a cocktail made with gluten-free soju (a Korean spirit), freshly squeezed lemon juice, St.-Germain and a splash of pomegranate juice. “Whether it’s food or beverages, it’s all about the flavors and the components, and obviously what we put in our bodies affects our day,” notes Kim. “If you eat something really good and healthy, you feel good and energized.” 2nd Ave Deli, one of the city’s iconic Jewish delis, recently opened 2nd Floor Bar & Essen (1442 First Ave., 212.737.1700), a cocktail lounge and smallbites space. Included on its drinks menu is the Upper Eastsider, made with gin or vodka and Dr. Brown’s Cel-Ray soda (made from celery seed extract), mint, house-made ginger beer and lime. Among the numerous benefits of eating (or in this case, drinking) celery are protecting liver health, lowering inflammation and helping to lower high cholesterol. Mace (649 E. 9th St., 347.866.7739), a pretty, brick-walled space in the East Village, has upped its healthy drinking game as well, offering cocktails laced with hibiscus verjus, coconut water, cilantro and even beet juice. The Mace cocktail includes Aperol, aquavit, beet juice and orange acid. Finally, it would be remiss to leave out the Bloody Mary, perfected in 1934 by bartender Fernand Petiot at the King Cole Bar at the St. Regis New York (2 E. 55th St., 212.339.6857). Originally named the Red Snapper, this classic cocktail is made with vodka and tomato juice, the latter of which contains the powerful antioxidant, lycopene. Today, it’s pretty easy to indulge in a tasty, gorgeous libation that goes down smoothly and, best of all, without guilt.

COBBLE HILL If you want to get a true taste of “brownstone Brooklyn,” visit the tree-lined neighborhood of Cobble Hill, where you’ll find 19th-century town houses, boutique shopping and diverse restaurants. A few years ago, Bon Appétit named Battersby (255 Smith St., 718.852.8321) one of the 10 best new restaurants in America, and the postage-stamp-size eatery has been packed to the hilt ever since. For more critically acclaimed grub, head to La Vara (268 Clinton St., 718.422.0065), a killer tapas joint, or Pok Pok NY (117 Columbia St., 718.923.9322), a Thai spot whose food has developed a cult following. At Refinery (248 Smith St., 718.643.7861), you’ll find women’s clutches made from vintage men’s tie fabrics; sporty, waterproof messenger bags; and more. Bird Brooklyn (220 Smith St., 718.797.3774) has a fine selection of women’s pieces representing the boho aesthetic Brooklyn is so well known for.
BROOKLYN HEIGHTS With its proximity to Manhattan and Victorian-era brownstones, it’s no wonder that notables from Walt Whitman to Truman Capote have called Brooklyn Heights home. The Promenade is a boardwalk overlooking the Statue of Liberty and Downtown Manhattan. Enjoy a flight of beers, dinner, brunch or lunch at the brewery/restaurant, Circa Brewing Co. (141 Lawrence St., 718.858.0055). At Colonie (127 Atlantic Ave., 718.855.7500), have dinner in a space with a lush vertical garden wall. Men will find sophisticated clothing at Goose Barnacle (91 Atlantic Ave., 718.855.2694). Check out the New York Transit Museum (Boerum Pl., 718.694.1600), built inside an old subway station. Learn about the city’s subway system and climb aboard train cars from the early 1900s through the 1990s, all festooned with period advertising. INNEWYORK.COM | MAY 2018 | IN NEW YORK

About Buses THE GOOD: If you are looking to get a view of NYC street life and are not in a rush, buses are a great way to travel. THE BAD: Traffic is highly unpredictable, and a bus ride can wind up taking much longer than anticipated. THE FACTS: There are approximately 5,900 air-conditioned buses on over 300 routes. Look for signposts marked with a bus emblem and route number. Most buses operate btw 5 am and 2 am; some buses run 24 hours a day. For Select Bus Service on First and Second aves. (btw South Ferry & E. 126th St.), as well as 34th St. (from the FDR Dr. to the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center), pay your fare prior to boarding and enter through any of three doors.
About Subways THE GOOD: The fastest, cheapest and most reliable way around town. THE BAD: Subways can get packed, sardine-style, during rush hours, can be hot in the summer and might have a “colorful character� or two. THE FACTS: There are 24 subway lines designated by either a route number or letter, serving 469 stations. Round-theclock, air-conditioned service is provided seven days a week. Subways run every 2-5 mins. during rush hours, 10-15 mins. during the day and about every 20 mins. btw midnight and 5 am. Stops are clearly posted and subway maps are on view at stations and in every car.
Cost of Ride The cost of a subway and bus trip can vary, from $3 for a single fare to $2.75 if you are buying more than one ride (in which case, various discounts are available). For buses (if you are not using a MetroCard), you need exact change (no bills or pennies). You can purchase MetroCards at subway station booths, vending machines, train terminals and select stores throughout NYC. Pay for Select Bus Service with a MetroCard or coins (exact change only) at fare collection machines at designated bus stops. For assistance, call 718.330.1234, or log onto web.mta.info.
Getting Around
The maps indicate MTA bus and subway routes. Each line is in a different color.
