Not All Happy About Sharing with Bike Share Some downtown residents claim the newly installed CitiBike racks create hazards and hassle for their neighborhood By Helaina Hovitz
L
ast week, 330 CitiBike stations were installed in Manhattan and Brooklyn, garnering a reaction from most Manhattanites that can essentially be boiled down to this: not on my block. Or, at least, not where it’s currently installed. The CitiBike program, also called Bike Share, will place bike rental stations throughout parts of the city, allowing riders to pick up a bike at one location and drop it off at any other CitiBike spot. Sponsored by CitiBank, the program is under the purview of the Department of Transportation (DOT). (See sidebar.) On Thursday, May 2nd, Community Board 2 held a meeting at P.S. 41 to give West Village residents a chance to voice their Continued on page 4

Chin Launches Re-Election On Sunday, City Council Member Margaret Chin officially kicked off her campaign for re-election for the 1st council district, which covers parts of Lower Manhattan including Chinatown, the Financial District, Tribeca, Little Italy and the Lower East Side. She was joined at the kick-off rally, held on the Independence Plaza North steps in TriBeCa, by supporters including New York State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, Congresswoman Nydia Velazquez, and various community leaders. “Margaret Chin is an outstanding council member and a longtime advocate for our Lower Manhattan community. She has a clear and undeniable record of achieving results for her constituents and improving the lives of
countless Lower Manhattan residents,” Silver said. “Council Member Chin is a dedicated and passionate public servant who has the right priorities for our community and the skills, focus and determination to get things done.” “Margaret Chin’s energy, passion and commitment to serve her community and the city is unquestionable,” said Rep. Velazquez. “In these tough economic times, we need a Council Member who will continue to stand up for small businesses, working families, affordable housing, and access to better education and childcare for our children. Margaret is a progressive Democrat who has demonstrated great leadership during her community’s most challenging times.” New York City Council Member Rosie Mendez, who has also pledged her support to Council Member Chin’s re-election campaign, said in a statement, “In her first term, Margaret accomplished a number of landmark achievements for her constituents — fighting every day on quality of life issues, holding oversight hearings on critical topics as Chair of the Lower Manhattan Redevelopment Committee and fighting to save our essential and enriching day care centers and afterschool programs.” Also in attendance at the press conference were Community Board 3 Chair Gigi Li and Smith Houses Tennant Leader Aixa Torres,
both of whom praised the work of Council Member Chin’s first term in office and pledged their support to her re-election bid. “I am humbled by the outpouring of support from the leaders we know and trust and my loyal supporters who have stood by me from Day One. For the last thirty years, I have been an outspoken advocate for Lower Manhattan and I have been proud to take our district to new heights with the input, help and support of our residents,” said Council Member Chin. “My commitment to our neighborhoods has never been stronger and I am eager to continue moving Lower Manhattan forward in the years ahead.”
Bike and Roll set up hundreds of bikes in preparation for Sunday’s 5 Boro Bike Tour.
Parks Kick Off Paths to Pier 42 On Sunday, State Senator Daniel Squadron, Manhattan Borough Parks Commissioner William Castro, the Lower East Side Waterfront Alliance, the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, and Community Board 3 opened part of the new waterfront park at Pier 42 on the Lower East Side for interim recreational use with a Waterfront Community Day and the launch of Paths to Pier 42, a series of art, educational, and design installations along the East River waterfront throughout the summer of 2013. The opening makes a section of the pier accessible to the public, as planning for the redevelopment of the pier into a full waterfront park proceeds. The public can visit Pier 42, with the northern section between the greenway and the waterfront open for interim use. The space has been partially resurfaced and picnic tables have been installed.

CRIME WATCH Your doctor retired to where? BAIT AND DITCH Late in the afternoon of Tuesday, April 9, a 28-year-old man was approached on lower Broadway by a man in his 60s who offered to sell him a computer. The younger man agreed to buy the computer and had $340 cash in his hand, when the older man snatched the money and fled to an unknown location. Police conducted a canvass of the area but were unable to locate the older man.

Handbag Heist Around noon on Tuesday, April 9, a 27-year-old woman working at a boutique on Greene Street reported that a man had walked into the store, grabbed a beige handbag worth $2,995 from a display, and left the store without paying for the bag. The thief fled in an unknown direction. Police conducted a canvass of the area but were unable to locate the man. No arrests have been made.
Denim Demon In the afternoon of Tuesday, April 9, a 28-year-old man working at a department store on Spring Street noticed that two of the store’s bags were missing from a display. He checked the store’s video surveillance footage, which revealed that an unknown 25-year-old man had taken the two bags without paying for them before he fled in an unknown direction. Police conducted a canvass of the area but were unable to locate the thief, who was wearing blue jeans, a baby blue baseball hat, and a denim jacket splattered with paint. The total value of the two bags stolen, a satchel and a purse, was $2,350.
Suzuki Snatch At 8:30 the morning of Wednesday, April 10, a 48-year-old man parked his girlfriend’s motorbike on the southwest corner of South End Ave. and Albany Street. The bike was still there when he went out at 12:30 in the afternoon, but when he returned at 3 p.m., he found the bike was missing. Police conducted

Luckless Law Student A 25-year-old man was hanging out with his friends in a dark and crowded tavern on West Broadway in the evening of Thursday, April 11. He placed his bag at the end of their table. When he left the bar at 9 p.m., he realized that his bag was no longer where he had placed it. The contents of the Tumi bag included a MacBook Pro laptop and law books with a total value of $1,900. The MacBook Pro had no tracking software installed. No evidence was collected, because the victim didn’t report the crime until the afternoon of the following day, after the bar had been cleaned.

A 15-year-old man was arrested. The victim’s iPhone 4S is valued at $599.

concerns about the Bike Share program, but it wasn’t just West Villagers who showed up to gripe. People from all over the city came to speak their peace about the program — but some of it wasn’t so peaceful. Chair David Gruber said that the board received 160 calls and emails, 70 percent of which were negative comments. “The DOT chose not to come to this meeting, we don’t know why,� he said. “People are upset about the size and volume, and once we saw it in place, we realized red dots on a map aren’t the same as something actually being on a street and installed,� Gruber said of the major complaints about Bike Share. While most people in attendance said that while they actually weren’t “against� the program, they weren’t happy with the way it was being implemented. “I’m shocked that this showed up on

my block. The magnitude of it and the lack of notice provided to residents by DOT is unconscionable. They’re too big and too clunky on residential streets, and the community was not properly informed,� said West Village resident Lisa Cannistraci, who spoke for many when she added that “they obstruct building entranceways,� a problem that will worsen when the stations are filled with an average of 40 bikes each at the end of the month. While many in attendance weren’t opposed to the bikes or the bike program, they were “opposed to the way that the city handled placing the bike racks around the city — mainly, in front of their entranceways.� The bike racks on Barrow Street, for example, are located directly in front of residential buildings with 170 units. Residents claim that elderly people can’t get to their Access a Ride busses, and that ambulances can’t access the building, either. “That means elderly and children will have to navigate around the bikes to get a cab or Access A Ride. We’re not opposed to the rack, but it needs to be moved, and we have alternative locations in mind,� said Cannistraci. “These bike stations located on historic landmarked blocks are a travesty. They need to be moved to more commercial locations, perhaps in front of the Citibanks, since this is their project. West Village resident Charlie Decker, 69, wasn’t just concerned about the rack placement, though; he thinks that allowing inexperienced riders to hop on bikes whenever they feel like it, especially after they’ve had a few drinks, is a recipe for disaster. “It’s dangerous to promote neophytes grabbing a bike in New York, especially tourists. Are you going to wait until 10 people are slaughtered to see that? Inexperienced

CitiBike stations will be placed throughout downtown Manhattan. bikers are going to get hurt riding around New York City,� he said. Bikes lined the fence outside, and pro Citi Bikers with signs lined themselves up in front of the school’s entrance, eagerly awaiting press. Hilda Cohen, who works in the West Village and lives in Fort Greene, said that those showing up to protest on Thursday were most likely absent at meetings held to discuss the plans. “We’ve been involved since 2011, and we’ve been here every step of the way. We’re excited,� said Cohen. “I’ve never experienced a more inclusive community process than the one they did with Bike Share. Jane Brown, who lives on West 4th between 7th Ave South and W. 10th, said that sanitation trucks haven’t been able to get through the racks, and piles of trash and water have been attracting mice. “There’s no way for them to clean. It’s a health hazard. Someone’s going to get hit by a fire truck this summer pulling out,� Brown said. “If they’re benefiting and making money off of it, why doesn’t Citibank but them in front of their branches? Let them see the trash, the water, and the mice.“ Residents of 99 Bank Street, among other West Village Streets, countered that they were never alerted of their block being a potential location in the first place, that it was never a red dot on the map they were given. Ed Zimbalatti, board president of 99 Bank Street, filed a lawsuit last week that has been re-filed as a petition. “The space in front of our building was never designated as a planned site. There was no outreach, it just showed up. Who made this decision, after all this outreach? That’s what we want to know,� said Zimbalatti. In the middle of the night, a portion of the racks were removed and, for some reason, replaced by a giant slab of rock. “Clearly there were a lot of plants here,� said Jeff Barr, referring to the group standing with signs and countering their comments to reporters. Barr, who filed the lawsuit at 99 Bank, spoke while leaning on his own bike. “They’re a great way to ride around, but this location was not properly thought out. The

size of the stations are too big for where they are,� Barr said. “Nobody wants to stop the program. But it’s not safe. People will ride on the sidewalk to pull up to the posts.� His sentiment was echoed by Decker, who expressed concern that “people are going to be popping out of nowhere, buses and trucks are going to be swerving and hitting either them, buildings, or pedestrians. “ Inside, the criticism continued. “It’s going to be creating more traffic and congestion, and I don’t know how green that amount of pollution is,� said Marna Lawrence. “I also have an objection about using public land for private gain. Citibank has no right to steal public space.� Michael Murphy, communications director of Transportation Alternatives, a biking/ walking/mass transit advocacy group, said that he thinks “the burden of proof lies with the people raising these phantom concerns.� “Since none of the other major cities currently operating a bike share program endure these problems, what possible reason do we have to think we will in New York City?� he said. “This isn’t a he said/she said situation - we can actually look at the cities where this program is underway and verify whether or not these concerns make any sense.� The DOT did not respond to specific questions regarding community members’ concerns about safety of riders, garbage truck and emergency vehicle access, or whether some bike rack locations might be relocated. A spokesman said that Citi Bike in conjunction with DOT held 400 meetings with community boards to determine the best locations for the racks, and also consulted the 65,000 online requests and comments. By Mayor Bloomberg’s estimates, the program will be “great for local businesses� and generate 170 new jobs along with $36 million in revenue for “the city.� Still, citizens of Gotham remain skeptical. “I’ll bet you Mayor Bloomberg has never been on a bike in New York City in his life,� Decker challenged on his way out. “And if he has, it wasn’t without an entourage of ten people riding around him.�

Meanwhile, the conference component focused on places untapped capital can be used in urban development, including “ad hoc strategies,� “waste,� “play� and “youth.� While Ideas City has come and gone for now, affiliated global conferences continue to promote ideas for productive urban change worldwide and New Yorkers, continually on the very cusp of major urban rejuvenation, have had the opportunity to familiarize themselves with hundreds of projects underway in the City with an eye toward the future.

Pro Building, Not Rebuilding The East River Blueway Plan establishes community-based framework for East River waterfront By Alissa Fleck “The water is coming,” said Eric Klinenberg to community members and elected officials gathered at Cooper Union last week. Klinenberg, an NYU professor and author to one of the most famous essays about rebuilding New York City after Hurricane Sandy, went on to say there’s not much we can do about that fact anymore. Indeed, the crowd was there to discuss proactive ways to rebuild the City in anticipation of rising sea levels, in particular the East River Blueway Plan, commissioned by Borough President Scott Stringer and Assembly Member Brian Kavanagh in collaboration with community boards in the area and the Lower East Side Ecology Center. The plan itself has been more than a year in

development. “The important thing to do is reduce greenhouse gases, but we also need to think about how to adapt and build our cities differently,” explained Klinenberg. “Our impulse is to rebuild, but after Sandy the new challenge is to pro-build.” “We cannot go back to what we had before,” he added. “We have to build in anticipation of what’s coming next time.” At the risk of sounding alarmist, Klinenberg made a comparison to rebuilding the City after 9/11 and talked about developing “dual use homeland security strategies.” “We have a sense we need those [security strategies] but they haven’t made the City more pleasant,” he said. “We put up with them because we feel like we have to. Our systems do not have to be unpleasant.” Klinenberg and others who presented at Cooper Union talked about seeing the waterfront as an opportunity—a way to prevent storm surges but also enhance the quality of everyday life in the community.

New York’s Review of Culture . CityArtsNYC.com
Recall and Response roadway’s new Black (or nontraditional cast) production of The Trip to Bountiful comes alive when Cicely Tyson as Carrie Watts, an elderly Texas widow longing to return to her titular hometown, stands up and sings a church hymn in a desolate bus station. It is the chestnut “Blessed Assurance” and as Tyson prances and sings, the audience spontaneously joined in. Was it a response to the actress and her legacy of cultural landmarks (Sounder, Roots, The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman, East Side/West Side) or gospel’s call-and-response tradition that veteran Black performers and audiences bring to Broadway? It was a surprising—and unexpectedly satisfying— moment; unscripted by playwright Horton Foote whose synthetic Southern doggerel treats the human condition like bolts of preprinted fabric. Familiar ideas about family, aging and the passing of time are cut and stitched into ready-made, second-hand drama—the half-tragic equivalent to a sitcom. But there’s Tyson as Carrie Watts, the role that originated by Lillian Gish and that won Geraldine Page an Oscar. This occasion forces one to realize the paucity of roles for older actresses (Tyson is 80), especially black actresses. Tyson seizes the vehicle to communicate her principled talent to a culture that has forgotten what that means. When Carrie cries “I want to go back to Bountiful,” Tyson gives it the yearning of a woman who feels existentially stranded in a debilitating, non-nurturing place, a cramped two-room Houston apartment with her son Ludie (Cuba Gooding, Jr.) and his frustrated, harpy wife Jessie Mae (Vanessa Williams). The
situation parallels the lack of mobility faced by black actresses toiling in an unwelcoming or restricting profession. Tyson‘s career milestones have always happened against the odds yet her successes are impressive because their always demonstrate moral integrity. Not the worse legacy, it puts Tyson in the same league as Paul Robeson, Ethel Waters, Lena Horne, Harry Belafonte–powerful performers who also stood for something. In this case, the memory of a bountiful artistic and political calling in which personal artistry illuminates mere professionalism. That Tyson’s lack of sentimentality—her defining quality—fits Carrie Watts is ironic. Foote’s determined yet nostalgic crone is utterly average, suffering typical old-age dilemmas. Not exactly a warm matriarch, Tyson makes her stubborn, self-obsessed drive to return to her roots seem vital, (her subtle anger recalls Tyson’s Rebecca in Sounder). She works Foote’s threadbare, pseudo-homey clichés for all they’re worth. There’s no richness in Foote’s writing, the flat, naturalistic language resists poetry; Geraldine Page gave the film her hammy but great emotionalism to stave off Foote’s unintended yet unavoidable bleakness. In the last act, director Michael Wilson lets Tyson nearly transform Carrie Watt’s dotage into principle: “I found my dignity and strength” she says looking at her girlhood home with the symbolic name, (a bland version of the yearning psychology William Inge expressed better in Come Back, Little Sheba). That line isn’t quite believable but we know what Carrie/Tyson means: The search for stronger values and desire to restore personal heritage are clear. The sympathetic audience provided a Tyler Perry response, giving more implicit Christian fellowship than Foote intended. (Singing “Blessed Assurance” also recalls Tyson’s very excellent Peter Bogdanovich TV movie Blessed Assurance.) With Tyson’s presence, this production’s new

he six artists behind “WanDer-Lust,” a month-long, (now through May 15), mixed-media pop-up exhibit on the ground floor of 72 Wooster Street, announces its mission in a black painted scrawl over the entrance: “Wanderlust is about the primal impulse for exploration. The work assembled expresses a freedom pulsing through the body blood. The collective narrative in this exhibition is informed by journeys unknown; inspired by the moment. The work is meant to inspire a state of constant flow and transformation. Through these works on paper, canvas, photography, sculpture and furniture, we express the human craving for discovery. Welcome to Wanderlust. We invite you to suspend in your reality.” Since art of necessity involves exploration, transformation, and discovery, perhaps more to the point is photographer Peter Ruprecht’s observation that this show embodies the “Burning Man ethos of collaboration brought into the real world.” Photographers Reka Nyari and Ruprecht; artists Jody Levy and Arten Mirolevich; sculptors/furniture makers Dara Young and Yarrow Mazzetti; along with Harlan Berger of Centaur Properties, the developer hosting “Wan-Der-Lust” before 72 Wooster is sold, met at Burning Man and

Over the course of a few weeks, they’ve transformed a rough, rubble-strewn NYC space lacking electricity into a gallery in order to showcase the individual works that often bear traces of each other’s fortuitous interference. All the contributors here evidence imagination and skill, but Ruprecht and Mazzetti show the strongest. Mazzetti’s powerfully authentic heart of pine and stainless steel furniture includes a sleekly gorgeous dining table and a chest with 5 theme drawers, each crammed with objects and opening to a flood of music. Ruprecht, a former Olympic skier and financial consultant who’s untrained in photography, first bought a camera in 2006 and a few years later, had a billboard looming over Times Square. His richly-colored, high contrast images are not framed. Instead, Mazzetti’s aluminum backings extend the images’ space beyond four corners, underscoring their generosity and excitingly alive quality. A series of meticulously rendered etchings by Mirolevich, a visionary artist also working in water color, pen and ink here stands out as well. He’s the only Wan-Der-Lust artist with professional representation, But galleries are currently circling Ruprecht. Three of his photos were snapped up at the opening night party attended by 2000 people gathered mostly by internet word-of-mouth—further evidence of Burning Man’s infiltration into the real world.

The Detroit Way A revived orchestra comes to Carnegie Hall with its maestro, Leonard Slatkin By Jay Nordlinger
F
rom May 6 to May 11, Carnegie Hall will present a festival called “Spring for Music.” It offers five orchestras in six concerts. The orchestras come from around the country, and one of them was to have been the Oregon Symphony. The Oregonians found themselves short on cash, however, and the Detroit Symphony Orchestra (DSO) will play two concerts (May 9 and 10). The first DSO concert consists of Sergei Rachmaninoff, Kurt Weill and Maurice Ravel. The second one is devoted to Charles Ives—his four symphonies. The concerts are conducted by the DSO’s music director, Leonard Slatkin. I say to him, in a phone conversation, “I’m glad to be hearing Ives. But it’s a shame not to hear Walter Piston—he’s never played.” Slatkin informs me that he himself conducts Piston. But it’s true: The mid-century Americans are largely ignored. Music follows fashion, and Piston, William Schuman, Peter Mennin and the rest of those guys are out of fashion. A young conductor, says Slatkin, should make a project out of reviving them. A young woman named Caroline Shaw has just won the Pulitzer Prize, notes Slatkin. She does not call herself a composer, interestingly enough. But performers will naturally want to perform what music she has written, or will write. What they’re unlikely to do, says Slatkin, is unearth, say, the Seventh Symphony of Roy Harris. (That composer’s Third was once wellknown, but has faded from the repertoire.)
Slatkin grew up in Los Angeles, the son of a famous musician: Felix Slatkin, the violinist, conductor, arranger and so on. In and out of the house trooped even more famous musicians: Arnold Schoenberg and Igor Stravinsky, yes, but also Art Tatum, the jazz pianist, and Frank Sinatra. Felix Slatkin died in 1963, when he was only 47. Leonard was 19. He is now doing what his father wanted to do but did not live quite long enough to do: head an orchestra. His father wanted an orchestra of his own to conduct, somewhere. He was on the verge of getting one when he died. Leonard Slatkin has held many music directorships in his career. He started in Detroit five years ago. Leonard Slatkin The DSO has come through a rocky period. Before there was a national recession, there was a “one-state recession”: Michigan’s. The DSO was not immune. Then, toward the end of 2010, the musicians went on strike, for six months. The orchestra is now back on its feet, reformed and flexible. The musicians took a pay cut—22 percent, on average. But they can earn more with optional work. The orchestra’s main home is

still Orchestra Hall, downtown. But they are also out in the suburbs, in six different venues. Occasionally, the musicians break out into smaller ensembles, such as string quartets. “We don’t do flash mobs yet,” says Slatkin, “but that may come.” Ticket prices have fallen, and ticket sales have increased. Also, concerts are streamed live on the Internet. “We are redefining the word ‘audience,’” says Slatkin. The webcasts are free of charge. Doesn’t this keep people from going to the concert hall? On the contrary, says Slatkin: The webcasts whet their appetite for the live-and-in-person experience. The DSO is even developing an audience abroad, says Slatkin. “So, when the time comes to resume international touring, we have a head start. People not only know how we play, they know what we look like.” You can buy all nine Beethoven symphonies from the DSO for a mere 20 bucks: They are downloadable. Slatkin figures we will have compact discs for another three or four years and then yield entirely to new technologies.
The DSO also has a number of programs designed to provide music education to young Detroiters—this used to be the job of families and schools. Slatkin himself enjoyed an excellent music education in the public schools he attended. He may have come from a spectacularly musical home, but “I cherished that hour when the music teacher came in with an autoharp.” Our society has changed, though, as we all know. In short, the DSO has found a way to keep itself afloat, and moving forward. They are coping with the challenges of today, and also taking advantage of opportunities—such as the Internet. Slatkin is a particularly good ambassador for music. He is not only a fine conductor, he is one of the best talkers about music you’ll ever hear. He has some things in common with a conductor he much admired, Leonard Bernstein. And after all these years, he still loves music as much as ever. “I have the best job in the world,” he says. “It is an honor and a privilege, as well as a responsibility.” He continues, “I stand in front of a hundred musicians and give a downbeat.

Healthy y Manhattan B Top regret of the dying: 'I wish I didn't work so hard' ronnie Ward, an Australian nurse who has spent time with patients during their last several weeks of life, wrote an article last year called "The Top 5 Regrets of the Dying," based on the conversations she had with her patients. After compiling the answers, Ward said that among the most common regrets expressed by the patients were: I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me. I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends. I wish that I had let myself be happier. She also wrote about one regret: I wish I didn't work so hard. This sentiment came from mostly male patients that she has nursed. They missed their children's youth and their partner's companionship. Women also spoke of this regret. But as most
women she has nursed were from a generation where they had not been breadwinners, there were less who mentioned it. "All of the men I nursed deeply regretted spending so much of their lives on the treadmill of a work existence," she wrote. Family and relationship expert Hellen Chen, has had a similar experience. "The deepest regret that I have heard has been men and women missing out on the most important part of life: the quality of their relationship in a marriage or with their children," she said. Chen specializes in working with men and women resistant to marriage. She says she helps them overcome their hopelessness and past disappointments so that they can say, "I do." "There are so many successful career professionals who came to me, from doctors to execs to CEOs," she said. "They have everything in their life: money, house, stable career, talent. But all these accomplishments could not replace the void of a close companion to share their success with."

House of Cupcakes Finds a Home in West Village The newest outpost serving the popular dessert comes prepared with a surefire recipe for success By Helaina Hovitz
Y
ou’ve got to have a pretty big pair of cake pops to open a cupcake shop just blocks from Magnolia Bakery. Fortunately, the House of Cupcakes, which just opened at 101 7th Ave South, came prepared. Aside from offering up over 36 delicious varieties, the owners have all sorts of strategies for success up their white sleeves - and Magnolia may have reason to worry a bit. After Ruthie and Ron Bzdewka won Food Network’s “Cupcake Wars� two years ago, their Princeton, New Jersey bakery gained a massive following. Now, they’ve got Steven Mandell, founder of the Party City franchise, to thank for helping them expand their Princeton shop into a mini-chain. “He has such a proven track record. We knew if anybody could do it, Steve could,� said
Ruthie. Here’s how. “I know nothing about cupcakes, but I know business, and I know the competition,� Mandell explained. “I saw a mother and son sitting outside eating cupcakes from Magnolia and went up to them and said, ‘Excuse me, when you’re done with those, can I buy you the best cupcakes in the world?’ I gave them four, on the condition that they’d tell me what they thought and how I could make them better,� Mandell explained. His mark on the place is unmistakable — the shop is decorated with photos of cupcakes created for every party theme imaginable, from a saucy bachelorette party to a Sesame Street birthday. Also popular are cupcakes made for “gender reveal� parties — cupcakes are filled with either pink or blue frosting, which let the mom-to-be and her girlfriends find out the sex of the baby when they bite down. They also specialize in “break apart� cakes, made up of individual cupcakes that create a larger picture. Last Wednesday, Zara Stevens, 27, came into the shop on her friend’s recommendation. She’d just come from Magnolia where the “pickins’ were slim.� “It wasn’t looking too good. They only had chocolate and vanilla. Boring. I can’t wait to eat these on the bus,� she said as she paid for her Oreo cake pop and a dulce cupcake. With three dozen flavors to choose from on any given day, in addition to cake pops, push pops (like the ice cream variety, but with cake!), and thick, rich cookies, boring is never a risk. All flavors are $2.95 each, and there’s always a special: buy five, get one free or buy ten, get two free. The shop is open late, until 11 p.m. on weeknights, and from

10 - 11 p.m., you can buy six and get six free. They anticipate staying open as late as 2 a.m. during the summer, since the after-hours turnout has been big. “We’d prefer two weeks notice for a big event or custom cake order, but if you come in and say, ‘We need this by tonight,’ we’ll find a way to make it happen,� Mandell said. Mix all of this with a little Food Network star power, and you’ve got a recipe for success, if the last two weeks have been any indication. Besim Kukaj, Owner of Zucca at 95 7th Ave South a few doors down, believes that aside from having good cupcakes, he hopes they’ll
also draw “good people� to the neighborhood. “They’re bringing a beautiful face to the neighborhood, and that’s what we need. Lots of places have opened and left,� he said, calling over his shoulder on the way out, “I mean it, the cupcakes are really good. I’m not just saying that!� In addition to the West Village space, new locations are also set to open in the Bronx and East Brunswick, New Jersey later this year. “To me, business is about making friends, not money,� said Mandell. “But you tend to make money when you make friends.�

Shaking Up an Old Favorite Cocktail: The Bloody Mary
F
or this Mother’s Day, or even for that perfect spring Sunday afternoon, it’s the perfect time to celebrate with brunch. One of the best parts of brunch is that delicious Bloody Mary. But not all spicy tomato cocktails are created equal. Take mom or your loved ones out for brunch, (even a liquid brunch), to one of these downtown places, where Bloody Marys take on an unusual twist. At Burger and Barrel, the gastropub at Houston Street and Mercer Street, for instance, take your pick from four Bloody Mary choices including the traditional recipe. But for those looking for something more adventurous, try the Bloody Maria, made with infused tequila. The Queen Mary is made with spicy tomato juice, cucumber, gin and garnished with dill and lemon. But the real draw, according to General Manager Carmelo Pecoraro, is the BBQ Bacon Bloody Mary, made with homemade BBQ sauce, tomato juice and candied bacon. It won first place in the Tito’s Vodka best Bloody Mary competition. “I feel like everyone likes a Bloody Mary made a certain way,” said Pecoraro. “There’s always a variation on it, and that was the

Plus all moms eat for free on Mother’s Day at Sauce! Try the Bloody Mario (made with Grappa Zardetto di Prosecco), The Bloody Maria (made with Sauza tequila), and a traditional Bloody Mary made with Tito’s Vodka. *Colicchio and Sons (10th Avenue Between West 15th and West 16th Streets) — The Bloody Verde - You heard that right.

Matt Gross Shares 30 Years of Travel You are now the editor of bonappetit.com. bon How did that job come com about?
Former New York Times columnist settles down to write a travel memoir
Last August, after I finished writing the La book, book I was about to have a second child and realized that it was no longer fair to my w wife or me to wonder off for a couple of weeks at a time and leave her in w charge of the kids. And I wasn’t making cha all that much money doing what I was doing. I sent an email out to everyone doi saying I was looking. Six weeks later say I ggot an email back from a friend in Portland, Oregon, who had put on a Po big food event with Bon Appetit, saying bi they were looking for an editor. th

ou know you’re a frugal traveler if you’ve eaten fried spiders in Cambodia, slept in a Roman convent, and booked a flight with Ryan Air. Matt Gross has done all of the above while penning the Frugal Traveler column for the New York Times from 2006-2010. Now, the man who arguably had “the best job in the world,” is sharing his over 30 years of travel in one book, The Turk Who Loved Apples. At the moment, his longestt journey is from the Times Square office of Bon Appetit, where he serves as their web editor, to the Brooklyn home he shares with his wife and two children. But he wouldn’t have it any other way. When asked about his future plans, he said, “Right now, I have a great job, two kids, and a wife to see all the time. Most people want to be on vacation forever. That’s what it feels like right now.”
How did you organize 30 years of travel into one book? [Laughs] That was the tricky part. I have very broad experiences of travel, but not necessarily very deep. That is, I’ve been lots of places, but never anywhere for more than about two weeks at a time. And I had to figure out some kind of way to tie everything together. I looked at everything I’d done and everything I’d been through and decided that crappy travel [laughs] was the organizing principle. A lot of getting sick, getting lost, being alone, scared, poor and naïve. I started out very innocent to the world and wound up capable of getting dropped off anywhere and getting along.
At the start of your book, you make a bold statement, telling readers that this is the last travel book they will ever need. Yeah, I would hope so. [Laughs] I like the idea that if someone like me can become a fairly independent traveler and learn to break

free of the guide books and the newspaper and magazine articles that tell you how to travel, then anybody should be able to do it. It’s a very personal book, but if it has an effect, I would love for it to give travelers the confidence to do things on their own.
In your book, you mention websites like couchsurfing.com and chowhound.com. In your opinion, what is the best travel site? Roadsandkingdoms.com is fantastic. It’s full of the quirky and fascinating moments that mean something to travelers. I read it and it makes me want to go places.
At one point, you were spending three to six months a year away from your wife. How does she cope with that? Pretty well. [Laughs] When I met her, we dated for six weeks and then she moved to France for a year. That sort of set up the pattern of our relationship from the very beginning - that we were going to be together and apart all the time. We don’t have the energy to get worked up about issues like that, so we just deal with it. It makes it so that every time you’re together it’s either a happy reunion or you want to make the most of it because you’re going to be going away again.

All freelance. You’d have to ask them why that is. [Laughs] But there t was never held out the possibility w tthat I’d become a staffer. My last big story, “Lost in Jerusalem,” came out for them in January of 2012. Then I sort of hunkered the book and down to write w stopped traveling as much. That’s how most of their travel writers are. From an economic perspective, it makes sense. Travel stories take a lot of time to research and cost a lot of money to produce. And you can’t get that many big stories out of a person per year.
mean you’re backpacking and sleeping in a tent and buying loaves of cheap white bread at the supermarket. But then there are people who are on the other side who think that the kind of travel I was doing was hopelessly impoverished. [Laughs] “How can anyone even find a place to sleep for under 300 dollars a night?”
One interesting story you did involved traveling to Tokyo to write about Ramen. What’s one of your favorite articles? Oh yeah, that was a great story. A lot of the food stuff I did for the Times was good. I did a story with the headline, “Mangia, Mangia!” about eating in Abruzzo with this program called Home Food, which brings you into regular families’ dining rooms. That was amazing.
Where is one place you still haven’t visited that you’d like to someday? Hmmm. I’d really like to go to New Zealand, but not for any really specific reason. I just think I would like it a lot there. [Laughs]
As the Frugal Traveler, you spent 100 dollars per day. Long summer trips I would try to keep below 100 dollars a day. A hundred dollars a day was my cap, and I would try to shoot for as far under that as I could. Some people would get mad because I said 100 dollars a day and say, “That’s not frugal!”
You got that comment a lot, that you weren’t frugal enough. Oh, yeah. People would say that all the time. It just depends on your perspective. Some people see “frugal,” and think that’s supposed to
