Grand Opera “Parsifal is not just an opera—it’s a mission,” says Director françois Girard, whose new production of richard wagner’s monumental work (below) receives its metropolitan opera premiere this month. “at the end of his life, wagner was trying to reconcile all the aspects of his spirituality. it’s a sacred piece in the history of music.” So sacred that wagner’s estate forbade stagings of the mystical music drama about the quest for the Holy Grail outside the bayreuth festspielhaus in Germany for 20 years after its initial performance there in 1882. new york’s met, where the copyright was unenforceable, was the first to break the embargo in 1903. » Metropolitan Opera house at Lincoln Center, Columbus Ave., btw w. 63rd & w. 64th sts., 212.362.6000, feb. 15, 18, 21, 27

Hit Parade the whitney Museum of american art has holdings in early-20thcentury american art that are second to none, but it owns more works than it has space in which to display them. until the museum’s new, mega building in the Meatpacking district is completed in 2015, the temporary solution to the dilemma is a brilliant one—a yearlong exhibition in its current upper east side digs consisting of mini retrospectives of 18 realist and modernist artists from the permanent collection. among those receiving the “greatest hits” treatment is Joseph stella, whose “the Brooklyn Bridge: Variation on an old theme” (below, 1939) is a whitney icon.

The Music Man In looks, talent and sex appeal, Nathan Gunn (right) is the Hugh Jackman of classical music. This month, the 42-yearold American baritone, a fixture on the Metropolitan Opera stage, flexes his vocal muscles, exhibiting his impressive range in an ambitious doubleheader. Accompanied by his wife, pianist Julie Gunn, and the Pacifica Quartet, he opens with a recital of songs by Charles Ives, Ben Moore and others at Carnegie Hall. Switching genres, he then tackles one of the greatest roles in musical theater, that of Billy Bigelow in Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Carousel, presented in concert form by the New York Philharmonic at Avery Fisher Hall. Could Broadway be Gunn’s next career move?

Mass Appeal inspired by the 17th-century italian Baroque painter artemisia gentileschi and her struggles to attain artistic recognition and personal independence in a repressive, male-dominated society, choreographer Jacqulyn Buglisi’s Requiem (left, helen hansen) took on new meaning following the tragic events of sept. 11, 2001. From a reflection on the continuing obstacles confronting women today, the emotive ballet, performed by five female dancers to gabriel Fauré’s choral setting of the roman Catholic Mass, evolved into a more general contemplation on death, loss and mourning. a signature component of Buglisi dance theatre’s repertoire for the past decade, the work is a highlight of the company’s 20th-anniversary season.

Cinderella for Today It’s taken almost 56 years for Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella to make the transition from a TV musical, starring Julie Andrews, to a full-blown Broadway production, starring Laura Osnes and Santino Fontana (left). Thanks to a new book by Douglas Carter Beane, based on the original by Oscar Hammerstein II, the show has never been more timeless—or more relevant—according to its director, Mark Brokaw. “Cinderella touches many chords,” he says. “The loneliness of the outsider, the ruptured family, the need to believe in the strength inside yourself, the promise of the impossible, the joy of being loved for who you are, the absolute power of kindness and forgiveness. These concerns are the touchstones of being human. As Marie, the fairy godmother, tells Cinderella in our story: ‘You are the only one who’s shown me charity, generosity and kindness.’ These attributes can often be in short supply in today’s self-focused world. It’s empowering to be reminded of their force.” » Cinderella, Broadway Theatre, 1681 Broadway, 212.239.6200

The late Ann Richards (1933-2006), governor of Texas between 1991 and 1995, is a natural for the stage, says Holland Taylor (below), who not only acts the title role in Ann on Broadway, but also wrote the one-woman show. “Pretty much everyone was wowed by Richards’ keynote address at the 1988 Democratic National Convention,” she recalls. “Who had ever seen any woman as funny, smart and beautiful as that?” When Richards died, Taylor was “unusually mournful. I realized that my rather childish reluctance to accept that she was gone was, in fact, a feeling of loss for the country, not just myself. I wanted to do something creative, and, as an actress, what would it be but to act her? The play is about how a great person lived, down to earth, yet looking to the stars. And, yes, a joy to embody.” » Ann, Vivian Beaumont Theater, Lincoln Center, 150 W. 65th St., 212.239.6200

Blending In When do you know you’re a New Yorker? For Margaret Copeland, co-star and cocreator with Kevin James Doyle (above) of the Off-Broadway revue How to Be a New Yorker, in which they skewer as many as 75 local types (the show is always evolving), the answer is easy: She was born here. Kevin James Doyle, however, is a transplant from Ohio. “People want to put a certain amount of time on

how long you have to live here before actually becoming a New Yorker. That’s a big load of nonsense,” he says. “You’re a New Yorker once you call New York home, and you aren’t thinking of leaving. I have no intention of moving, so I’m a New Yorker—but a little more polite from growing up in the Midwest.” » How to Be a New Yorker, Sofia’s Downstairs Theater, 221 W. 46th St., 212.352.3101

“a frame can make a painting look better or worse than it is,” says framer eli wilner (left). “size, shape, width of the molding, color of the gilt: all can affect your eye.” wilner should know: since 1983, his company has done nearly 10,000 framing jobs, fitting, restoring or even recreating antique pieces (including a replica of the lost original for the metropolitan museum of art’s “washington crossing the delaware”). but not all works demand “period” frames, wilner notes. smallscale abstract art by pollock or de kooning, say, “looks great in simple, ebonized 17th-century dutch frames.” and his fastest-growing area? framing flat-screen tvs. » eli wilner & company, 1525 York ave., 212.744.6521

Lunar Inspiration Some 40 years ago, Swedish artist Siri Berg became fascinated with the work of William Butler Yeats, especially A Vision, the poet’s 1925 analysis of astrology and the occult. “I was enamored of its built-in mysticism,” she recalls, “which I then interpreted in my own language—that of abstractionism.” Some results are on view in Phases, an exhibit of Berg’s characteristically geometric forms from Opening Gambit the 1970s. Typical is “Phase 22” after nearly a quarter-century on 57th street, the michael rosenfeld Gallery has headed south— (detail above, 1975), a diptych of specifically, to a new light-filled space in chelsea that’s more than double the size of its previous six gray-shifting-to-orange orbs digs. to celebrate, the gallery is hosting a major show, “a reintroduction of who we are and whose march across a turquoise what we stand for,” says director hallie harrisburg. indeed, INsite/INchelsea offers nothing less background suggests the phases of than a survey course in 20th- and 21st-century american art, with 70-odd works that span the the moon that so intrigued Yeats. decades, movements and media. from modernist raymond Jonson’s jazzy “city lights” (above, » Hionas Gallery LES, 124 Forsyth 1933), to a 1973 back-to-folkcrafts vase by peter voulkos, it’s a commemoration of the country’s St., 917.974.6976, thru Feb. 17 brilliantly diverse creatives. » michael Rosenfeld Gallery, 100 11th ave., 212.247.0082, thru mar. 9

INSIDE FINE ART GALLERY HASTED KRAEUTLER SARAH HASTED & JOSEPH KRAEUTLER

Owners of Hasted Kraeutler, a contemporary art gallery that is located in the heart of New York’s Chelsea art district. Sarah and Joseph share their favorite art works from the gallery’s current exhibition with photographer, Albert Watson & from this year’s previous exhibitions with photographer, Nick Brandt and painter, Kim Dong Yoo.

ALBERT WATSON Artist Albert Watson, with Sarah Hasted and Joseph Kraeutler

Albert Watson is a world famous photographer. The photographs in this solo exhibition celebrate the 20th anniversary of Cyclops (Callaway Editions, 1994), which was the artist’s first major monograph. Cyclops will display unique vintage platinum and silver prints by the artist, spanning 40 years of the photographer’s career, including iconic celebrity portraits, such as Mick Jagger, Los Angeles, 1992, Kate Moss, Marrakech, Morocco, 1993 (below) and Alfred Hitchcock, Los Angeles, 1973.

NICK BRANDT Nick Brandt’s photographs feature stunning images of endangered African animals, which he photographs “in the same way I would a human being, watching for the right ‘pose’ that hopefully will best capture his or her spirit,” he says. Always “moving in close” he never uses a telephoto lens, because it is too impersonal. Prices of the photographs from the exhibition start at $4,500. Hasted Kraeutler is open to the public Tuesday - Saturday, 11 am - 6 pm.

Cold-Proof Roof

… year-round rooftop relaxation … Central Park views … hidden hot spots … offbeat acts at a neo-burlesque bar …

Winter is in full swing, but if you think you’ll have to wait for warmer weather to engage in some rooftop relaxation, think again. The temperature-controlled exterior lounge, with retractable roof, at Hudson Terrace (above) allows for all-season imbibing. The space features a DJ booth, fireplace, surround sound and glass-enclosed, curtained cabanas. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide stunning views of the Hudson River. And just in case you still have cold feet, there’s also heated mahogany flooring. » Hudson Terrace, 621 W. 46th St., 212.315.9400

We’d all do well to heed the words of Chinese philosopher Confucius: “I want you to be everything that’s you, deep at the center of your being.” Perhaps a good place to start the soul search is at Center Bar, a recently opened addition to the many elegant lounging options around, appropriately enough, Central Park. On offer are classic cocktails by master bartender James Moreland, such as the Brandy Smash (below, brandy, mint, sugar, soda, orange, maraschino cherry). Or guests can peruse an 80-bottle wine list as they take in the stellar view.

To the untrained eye, Beauty & Essex appears to be an unassuming pawnshop—antique guitars hanging on the wall, glass display cases filled with knickknacks and costume jewelry. Venture further, and you’ll discover that this space, formerly occupied by a furniture store, is actually a 10,000-square-foot nightclub and restaurant. A grand staircase winds up and around a huge chandelier and leads to an expansive second floor with a wood-paneled lounge (left), a bar and plenty of room for dancing. The noticeably attractive crowd can be seen sipping the Beauty Elixir (gin, cucumber, strawberry, sparkling rosé). Ladies take note: Free champagne in the women’s bathroom. » Beauty & Essex, 146 Essex St., 212.614.0146

Risqué Performance If you ever hear anyone say that burlesque is a relic of a bygone era, feel free to direct him or her to The Slipper Room. Inside this old-timey jewel box theater—complete with a bar and curtained stage—guests sit for a show that will add a touch of naughty to their night out. The regular variety performances (a combo of burlesque bravado, vaudeville comedy and carnival sideshow crudeness) feature acts involving everything from contortionism and magic to fire-breathing and dagger-throwing to aerial work (above) and striptease (we did say it was naughty, didn’t we?). As proprietor James Habacker told The Huffington Post: “To me the dream of any performer is to have a theater and be able to present whatever they choose to present. There’s no limits here.” » The Slipper Room, 167 Orchard

Boozey Bumbling Great minds on good drink. In his novel, The Long Goodbye (Hamish Hamilton, 1953), American author Raymond Chandler (18881959) wrote, “I like bars just after they open in the evening. When the air inside is still cool and clean and everything is shiny … The first quiet drink of the evening in a quiet bar— that’s wonderful.”

Curiosity Shop Thé Pour Vous Savor teas from around the world at Le Palais des Thés (below), a newly arrived Parisian tea shop which serves customers a complimentary hot cup upon entrance. It’s fameux for its extensive selection of green, white, black and other leaves in collections such as “Les Créations,” in which each blend is inspired by a simple indulgence: for example, Thé du Hammam evokes the warmth of a hot bath in Istanbul; Fleur de Geisha, the scent of Kyoto’s spring cherry blossoms. » Le Palais des Thés, 194 Columbus Ave., 646.664.1902

Fancy a lobster’s exoskeleton, painstakingly preserved and held together by careful gold wiring? Or perhaps you’re keen on marble kindling for a seriously regal fireplace? Whatever your curious collector heart desires, you can find it at Creel and Gow (above), where the co-owners, Paris-based Jamie Creel and Sotheby’s expert Christopher Gow, source some of the most original exotic objects on earth. Even if you find the merchandise a bit peculiar—a taxidermied mountain lion straight from a Midwestern museum, for example— you can still enjoy the quaint setting, the former stables of architect Grosvenor Atterbury’s town house, which adds an air of rusticity to the environs. » Creel and Gow, 131 E. 70th St., 212.327.4281

Handbags are unquestionably the company’s prized creation—constructed through an involved layering process, which gives a shimmering textured, animal or reptile skinlike surface to the finished product (right). The firm is known for its vibrant colors (though a Limited Edition New York bag comes in black, naturally). Also available: belts, wallets and other accessories, all ideal for über-cool shoppers. » Liebeskind Berlin, 276 Lafayette St., 212.993.7894

WITH dewy SKIN the color of cappuccino, jet-black hair that frames her chiseled cheekbones and cascades down her designer-attired back, and aura of sensuality, Padma Lakshmi is, indeed, breathtaking to behold. But the statuesque host of Bravo’s hit show Top Chef (final episode of Season 10 airs Feb. 27) is much more than just another telegenic face. A former supermodel, she is an actress, a cookbook author, an entrepreneur and activist for the Endometriosis Foundation of America, as well as a devoted single mom to 3-yearold daughter Krishna, with whom she lives in the East Village. She credits her confidence, sophistication, poise, glamour and, above all, discriminating taste buds, to New York City, where she moved at age 4 and spent most of her childhood. “My palate was first formed in New York City,” she says. “I was exposed to the foods of all the immigrant cultures—Chinese, Spanish, Russian, German and Indian, which I was, of course, already familiar with. The city is truly a melting pot.” Born Padma Parvati Lakshmi in New Delhi, India, on Sept. 1, 1970, she fondly recalls arriving in her adopted city on Halloween 1974. “It was a magical night. I loved New York from the beginning.” She lived in Queens and on the Upper East Side with her mother, Vijaya, who left India following her divorce and worked as a registered nurse at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. “I grew up roller-skating (not Rollerblading) all over the city,” says Lakshmi. “I would skate down York Avenue at lunchtime to meet my mom for falafel—I was a vegetarian back then.” A self-described “latchkey kid,” she also developed a taste for cooking, and would often prepare herself simple foods, such as grilled cheese, after school. She attended Clark University in Worcester, Mass., and during a semester abroad in Spain, caught the eye of an agent. Soon, she was modeling for top designers and posing for world-renowned photographers including Helmut Newton, who was particularly fascinated by the seven-inch scar on her right arm (the result of a car accident when she was 14).

Along the way, she launched The Padma Collection, a line of fine jewelry (“We’re in the process of converting it to costume jewelry”) and Easy Exotic, a collection of fine teas and spice blends, roasting rubs and sea salts; both companies occupy much of her time. Plus, “I’m always working on recipes for my website [padmalak shmi.com] or just for my next cookbook,” she notes. Her top priority, however, is spending time with Krishna. Yet she still finds time to enjoy the rich cultural and culinary landscape of New York City. When asked about her favorite local eateries, she rattles off a list, including Indochine, Marea, ABC Kitchen, wd-50, Mission Chinese, The Wren and The Spotted Pig. “That’s the beauty of the city, there’s never a lack of interesting food to eat,” says the top taster. For entertainment, Lakshmi visits museums (current fave: the exhibit Matisse: In Search of True Painting at the Metropolitan Museum of Art), attends Knicks games at Madison Square Garden and comedy performances at Upright Citizens Brigade. “I don’t go clubbing anymore,” she says, “but once in a while you’ll see my face at Basement Bhangra,” a monthly dance party set to bhangra, a lively style of Punjabi folk music, at Greenwich Village multimedia art cabaret (Le) Poisson Rouge. She also likes to people-watch, mainly on the Upper East Side and in Brooklyn. “The best style in New York is on the street! But because I have a child in tow these days, I don’t have the luxury of being as dandy with my own clothing. Usually, I’m running from meeting to playground,” she says. “And I can talk about food all day long.” Still, perhaps it’s her Twitter bio (@PadmaLakshmi) that best sums up her favorite activities: “Ramblin’ like a gypsy, savoring all the juice I can squeeze out of life …”

New York restaurants are iconsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;sometimes by virtue of their venue, other times in their own right, and often both. Certainly, sense of place has never tasted so good. By Drew Limsky

hen surveying eateries in the city’s signature buildings, it seems logical to begin at the architectural beginning. Fraunces Tavern (54 Pearl St., 212.968.1776) is situated in a Georgian house-turned-inn that dates from 1719, one of New York’s oldest surviving structures, and one of its most historically significant: In 1783, Gen. George Washington held a farewell feast for his officers here at the end of the Revolutionary War, a fact that helped enroll the building on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. Today, entering the dining room is like stepping into a time machine—the décor is a faithful reconstruction of a late-18th-century tavern, with wide-plank wood floors, long wood tables and period portraits—where guests sample Irish-American classics (shepherd’s pie, haddock chowder) and an extensive list of beer, porter and whiskey. The building also houses a museum, which contains such curiosities as a lock of Washington’s hair, as well as the actual room where he bid the boys goodbye. Many a private dinner also occurred in what is now Frankie & Johnnie’s Steakhouse (32 W. 37th St., 212.947.8940). The two-story brownstone was once the home of actor John Barrymore, whose classic profile broke a thousand hearts on and off stage and screen. Guests can dine in his former study, with its stained-glass IN New YORK | february 2013 | innewyork.com

ceiling and mahogany walls; one prized table is set beside the working fireplace. “It’s a romantic spot—Barrymore was a romantic man,” says Owner Russ Panopoulos, noting that the actor was born the day after Valentine’s Day. The menu, too, sets the stage for seduction, with such endorphin-releasing fare as USDA prime dry-aged steaks, crab cakes and Key lime pie. Barrymore’s film career flourished in the 1920s and 1930s, an era that saw the construction of many a modern icon—including Rockefeller Center, one of Midtown’s most significant architectural sights. Built in the 1930s by the illustrious Rockefeller clan, the 19-building Art Deco complex, which was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1987, includes Radio City Music Hall, numerous corporate headquarters, including NBC (whose TV series 30 Rock—short for 30 Rockefeller Plaza—is set here) and the observation perch Top of the Rock. Down on the ground, a quintessential New York experience is to dine at Rock Center Café (20 W. 50th St., 212.332.7620), overlooking the famed gilded statue of Prometheus. “Almost every seat in the house is a good one,” says Executive Chef Antonio Prontelli, “with terrific views allowing for great people-watching. Regardless of the time of year, it’s magical”—but particularly this month, when The Rink at Rockefeller Center, which is alongside the restaurant, is the site of marriage proposals on ice (“People love to witness those”). During the summer, the rink is transformed into an out-

door patio, perfect for alfresco dining. The feeling is festive, courtesy of the eatery’s signature pear bellini cocktails and Prontelli’s contemporary American cuisine, which features roast beet salad, hot crab and artichoke dip with housemade chips, and prime rib. Though Manhattan is synonymous with mid-20th-century projects like Rockefeller Center, newer skyscrapers have also earned their place on the city’s skyline. The Time Warner Center, identifiable by its sleek, glass twin towers, is an elegant addition to the Upper West Side. The mixed-use development has become a dining mecca with several fine restaurants, and one that really makes the most of its position is A Voce (10 Columbus Circle, 212.823.2523), whose site on the third floor affords a panorama of Central Park. “It’s pretty special whenever I walk into that dining room,” Executive Chef Missy Robbins says. “Every single person requests a window table, and there are only five of them! But my favorites are near the back of the room— you have the energy, plus the view.” Chef Robbins says that the menu changes every three to five weeks as she rotates various Italian regions: Veneto today; next month, Lazio. But one thing that doesn’t change is the way that sitting here makes diners feel—as they savor a cassoncini con prosciutto di parma or ricotta-filled ravioli with pork sugo—as if they’re modern-day Medicis, lording over one of the city’s most cherished vistas.

ome landmarks are as magnificent on the inside as they are on the outside. One of the most commanding is Grand Central Terminal, which celebrates its centennial in 2013. Each year, 21 million people pass through its Beaux Arts portals, from commuters dashing for trains to visitors lingering to gaze upward at the Main Concourse’s famed green ceiling, decorated with a fresco of the constellations. And downstairs the view is just as rewarding, if one dines at The Oyster Bar & Restaurant (89 E. 42nd St., 212.490.6650), with its vaulted ceilings clad in pale tiles by architect Raphael Guastavino. The 400-seat poisson palace opened just after the terminal in 1913; Sandy Ingber, the chef since 1996, is honoring the occasion by offering a new-century dish every week for $20.13 to complement classic fish and seafood stews, pan roasts and platters featuring the namesake bivalve. “We practice truth in advertising,” Chef Ingber says. “We have the largest selection of oysters in America, and we only buy oysters from certified waters.” IN New YORK | february 2013 | innewyork.com

Filet mignon, made of USDA prime beef and served with a mushroom cap (left), is a specialty of Frankie & Johnnie’s Steakhouse (below). The eatery is situated in a town house once owned by John Barrymore, with a warm, wood-laden dining room that would have done the actor proud.

urals help to make the magic at The Leopard at des Artistes (1 W. 67th St., 212.787.8767), located on the ground floor of an illustrious 1918 apartment building that once housed artistes such as Isadora Duncan, Noël Coward and illustrator Howard Chandler Christy, who painted a series of “Fantasy Scenes With Naked Beauties” (completed in 1935) for the walls of what was then a tenants’ dining room. These cavorting, lipstick-sporting lovelies remained a major draw, even after the dining room became a long-running independent restaurant, Café des Artistes. Acquired by Gianfranco and Paula Bolla Sorrentino, it reopened as The Leopard in 2011, welcoming patrons back to “a full gut renovation and restored murals, so they could be seen as they were first intended—brighter,” Paula says. This incarnation features Italian cuisine, with menu standouts including an eggplant and mozzarella timbale and orecchiette with broccoli Romanesco and anchovies. The Four Seasons (99 E. 52nd St., 212.745.9494) is located in the Seagram Building, a touchstone of International Style architecture created by Mies van der Rohe and Philip Johnson. Opened in 1959, its then avant-garde design (airy and angular, with a square marble pool, two-story windows covered by rippling metal-chain curtains and a

“Nobu New York helped to put TriBeCa on the map. … [The neighborhood’s] now one of New York City’s prime dining destinations,” says restaurateur Drew Nieporent.

canopy of seasonally changing trees), the restaurant is the only eatery in the city to be officially designated an interior landmark by the New York City Landmarks Commission. But it’s almost as much of a landmark for its august clientele as for its streamlined, Midcentury Modern décor. Alex von Bidder, the managing partner for 36 years, recites a litany of loyal guests who have power-lunched on the minimalist premises: Jackie Onassis, Seagram’s CEO Edgar Bronfman, Barbara Walters. “Henry Kissinger was in today,” he says. And the man who made the building was a daily guest until he died, von Bidder recalls. “In his 80s, Philip Johnson had the same lunch every day: an Americano cocktail, some foie gras and an espresso. He had to be served and out of here in under an hour because he was very busy.” Pity he didn’t take advantage of the fact that the Four Seasons studs its American menu with market-fresh items, one of the earliest places on the Manhattan culinary map to do so. “We were the first locovore restaurant, the first fine dining restaurant that didn’t have allegiance to French cuisine,” von Bidder says. “That was a revelation in the 1950s and early 1960s.”

uch more typical at the time were places such as La Grenouille (3 E. 52nd St., 212.752.1495), at age 50 an icon in its own right—and standardbearer for the culinary tradition of haute cuisine. “We do French tableside service as it used to be,” says Owner Charles Masson. “It’s almost a lost art to carve the chicken, flambé the rognons [kidneys] and fillet the sole right in the dining room. It’s part of the theater.” Equally old-school is the décor, dominated by dramatic floral arrangements so admired that Masson wrote a book, The Flowers of La Grenouille (Clarkson Potter, 1994), about them. “And you’ll notice that the flowers are in season just like the cuisine,” he points out. “When you see lilacs and peonies displayed, you’ll probably see morel mushrooms and white asparagus on the menu.” Of course, landmarks not only represent the familiar—they can symbolize a turning point, too. In that sense, Nobu New York (105 Hudson St., 212.219.0500) is an institution, one that introduced the city to fine Japanese cuisine and drew its denizens down to a hitherto deserted-atnight neighborhood. “Nobu helped to put TriBeCa on the map,” declares Co-owner/restaurateur Drew Nieporent. “Eighteen years later, what used to be an industrial area is now one of New York City’s prime dining destinations.” David Rockwell’s minimalist, Asian-inspired design matches Founding Chef Nobu Matsuhisa’s minimalist presentations of such delicacies as salmon sashimi, king crab tempura and the widely copied, but never-replicated, miso-marinated black cod. Whether they’re famed for their place or their plate, these restaurants are the stuff of which legends are made. IN New YORK | february 2013 | innewyork.com

A City for Lovers The month of romance is upon us. ’Tis a time for moonlit strolls, candlelit dinners and reveling, red rose in hand. Lucky for you, fortunate traveler, our city provides countless opportunities to spark passion’s flame with the (big) apple of your eye. Eric Strauss, Concierge at The Bryant Park Hotel New York—which boasts a lobby (above) accented in red leather that arouses romantic visions—knows a thing or two about Cupid’s touch. One must have “a perfect night out to set the mood for a romantic night in,” says Strauss. Château Cherbuliez—a French restaurant from celeb chef Todd English that is housed in the ivy-covered Limelight Marketplace, a converted Gothic Revival church in Chelsea—comes “complete with corset-clad waitresses and candlelit tables” and “is a great spot to wine and dine your honey.” Afterward? Strauss raves about The Box, a “sultry and seductive burlesque, vaudeville-inspired show that offers all sorts of acts ranging from obscure oddities to scintillating sexiness.” When you’re ready to retire, tap into your hotel amenities. Along with a TIPS FROM: minibar, many NYC hotel suites (including those at eric Strauss, concierge, The bryant The Bryant Park Hotel New York) offer a discreet Park Hotel new york, assortment of adults-only specialty items.
