Happy New Museum!

While I love to champion the city’s world-class art institutions like the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Guggenheim, the lesserknown, more intimate cultural houses in the city also deserve their fair share of the spotlight. Take, for example, the New Museum, known for showcasing new works by living artists who often are underrepresented in more conventional art museums. Now celebrating it’s 40th anniversary, the New Museum, housed on the Lower East Side, is always an experience in the provocative.

Swiss artist Pipilotti Rist has spent the past 30 years pioneering work in multimedia art. Examples of her brightly colored installations can be found at the New Museum thru Jan. 15. The comprehensive exhibit covers Rist’s work beginning in the 1980s, when she used single-channel

videos to explore the female body in pop culture, and continuing to current endeavors, in which she reinvents architectural spaces into surreal environments (such as “Gnade Donau Gnade (Mercy Danube Mercy),” (2013/15, left).

In between, she created such video installations

as the strange and comical “Open My Glade (Flatten)” (2000, right), where Rist appears to be pressing her face and hands against the video screen, much, as one writer noted, like we did “as kids, when we were bored riding in the backseat of our parents’ cars … making faces at the passing traffic.” The image is projected nightly on the New Museum’s facade.

NIGHTSPOTS • Blink and you might miss the unmarked entrance to Chumley’s, a former speakeasy turned into a literary lions’ hangout for decades.

This reincarnation of the popular bar, which opened in 1922 and closed in 2007, remains true to that heritage— writers’ photos and book jackets decorate the homey room—but features swankier decor (think tufted leather banquettes), pub grub kicked up several notches and a drinks menu emphasizing several variations on scotch and soda. 86 Bedford St., 212.675.2081, chumleys newyork.com • The supper club concept goes underground (literally) with Metropolis.

Candlelit stairs lead down to a cozy, gold-and-gray velvet room with lamps at every table and a live combo and vocalist performing most nights.

Included on the menu are flambéed cocktails, oysters shucked tableside and upscale comfort foods, like sea bass potpie or filet mignon cheesesteak. 31 Union Sq. W., 212.533.2500, metropolisnewyork.com

Its sole option: a 20-course omakase (tasting menu) that changes nightly. Of course, sushi is involved, but there are boiled, stewed and fried dishes, too— and, whether seated at the bar or a table in the Zen-streamlined, 500-squarefoot space, you can watch Chef Yoishi Akashi himself at work. 14 Christopher St., 212.367.2067, akashinyc.com • Super chef Wolfgang Puck makes his NYC debut with Cut, a plush, low-lit burgundy-and-black-toned venue featuring Japanese and American wagyu beef (raw samples are displayed for your edification), along with good old USDA prime and sides that are a decadent cut above the usual steakhouse offerings.

Getting Around New York by Bus and Subway MTA New York City Transit subways connect four of the city’s five boroughs. Blue and white buses run in all five boroughs. Subways run 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Bus or subway questions?

Check out www.mta.info.

ABOUT SUBWAYS NYC Transit’s subway system operates 24 lines designated by either a route number or letter.

Serving 469 stations along 660.75 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 am.

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; you can also find one 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 am and 2 am. 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.

ABOUT FARES The base subway and local bus fare is $2.75 per ride, payable by MetroCard. Buses also accept exact change (but no dollar bills or pennies).

METROCARD You can buy MetroCards at any subway station booth. MetroCards are also available at MetroCard vending machines, which are found in many subway stations and at neighborhood stores. Look for the MetroCard sign in store windows or visit www.mta.info/metrocard for a store near you.

There are two kinds of MetroCards: 1) Unlimited Ride—$31 for seven consecutive days and $116.50 for 30 consecutive days. 2) Pay-Per-Ride—The bonus for purchasing multiple rides is 11 percent.

Top Things to Do

Things to Do With Kids

Museums don’t come much grander than (1) The Metropolitan Museum of Art, whose holdings include Rodin sculptures, the Temple of Dendur and 5,000 years of other artistic endeavors from around the globe.

Some hailed it as a work of brilliant architecture, others thought it a monstrosity: (2) The Guggenheim Museum houses world-class international art within a controversial and fascinating structure. (3) The Whitney Museum of American Art is a must-visit if you are a fan of iconic contemporary and modern American artists.

Still one of the most instantly recognizable symbols of NYC, the (1) Empire State Building is capable of displaying 16 million LED colors at night, which can change instantaneously. (2) The Statue of Liberty, dedicated by President Grover Cleveland in 1886, became known as a beacon of freedom for millions of immigrants arriving in New York via Ellis Island between 1892 and 1954.
