The Beauty

A wedding is an opportunity for a woman to feel like a real-life princess. And like a princess, she’s going to be photographed a whole lot. Why not give her a professional makeup artist like Stephen Keyes for the big day? He will illuminate her beauty and make her more than ready to face the cameras. $1,500; from www.stephenkeyes.myshopify.com

The WorkaholicsɅ

Planning a wedding is stressful and doing it on top of a full-time job is nearly impossible. A trip to Golden Door spa in California will provide the couple with much-needed relaxation; after a week of daily in-room massages, they’ll be refreshed and ready to start their new life together. $8,850 per person for a week’s all-inclusive stay; from www.goldendoor.com

The Dreamers

This is a couple whose vivid imagination carries them through the toughest times. They may not be able to ever visit space themselves, but this lamp, which was inspired by the cosmos, emits the same light as a nebula cloud, reminding them to always reach for the stars. $1,000; from www.abchome.com

Daniel Boulud’s winning recipe New York’s esteemed chef scoffs at trends, food critics who say fine dining is passé BY CHRISTOPHER CAMERON Photographed by StudioScrivo

COVER STORY

E

ach table within the neoclassical colonnade in the dining room at Daniel, chef Daniel Boulud’s eponymous restaurant on the Upper East Side, is its own universe. Under the double-tiered chandeliers and intricately coffered ceiling, wellgroomed waiters work in pairs, bouncing like satellites from table to table in a choreographed display of precision. They swirl through the room with carts of wine, cheese and roast meat, providing unhurried tableside service. Each plate draws you into the moment. On one evening, my dinner companion said that the ornate dining room had the electricity of a banquet hall, as if at any moment a glass might ding and throw a hush over the restaurant. I agree. The effect is simultaneously big and small. You somehow feel like the only diner in the room without ever catching the cold uneasiness of an under-patronized restaurant. And so it has been for over two decades: deft service, inspired dishes, the pinnacle of French fine dining. Boulud has often been called New York’s longestruling four-star chef. Even when Daniel isn’t boasting a perfect score from the critics, it’s nonpareil in the minds of most New Yorkers. But increasingly the culinary zeitgeist has come to consider fine dining itself passé. Boulud rejects that sentiment, confident in the lasting message of his restaurant. “We are very aware of what is going on,” Boulud, 61, tells me in his “skybox” — a small office and glass-enclosed dining room overlooking the kitchen. The room, along with an eight-course tasting menu, can be reserved for $1,600 for four guests. “But we don’t need to follow every trend and be what a critic wants us to be. I don’t think so, no,” he says. “There are a lot of people who still appreciate what fine dining represents,” he adds. But the last several years have been hard on fine dining. First, New York Times critic Peter Wells stripped Daniel of its four-star rating in 2013 — it had held four stars from 2001 to 2012. The most recent new Michelin Guide demoted Daniel from three to two stars. Then Wells took an even harder swipe at Thomas Keller’s Per Se, giving it just two stars. Across the city, chefs young and old are choosing to open casual brasseries and bistros, with top-quality food and sky-high prices. Edgy Lower East Side restaurateurs, like Rich Torrisi and Mario Carbone, are taking over old school fine-dining institutions, like the Four Seasons’ space. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to find a restaurant in the city that even requires a jacket anymore. “I was at the Four Seasons last week, and I have been going there for 30 years,” Boulud says. “This is my luxury. This is my privilege. Do I care how many stars they have? Do I care what people say? No, I don’t. I just go there because I like it.”

“WE ARE VERY AWARE OF WHAT IS GOING ON.” —Daniel Boulud It is because of that steadfast loyalty to fine dining that some epicures raise their eyebrows at Boulud and have asked if Daniel can weather a culinary milieu that respects irreverence and adventure over white tablecloths. Today’s foodies have the swagger of Eddie Huang — the bao-slinging, street-talking East Village restaurateur — or Action Bronson — the obese, pot-smoking rapper whose lightly inebriated gastronomic escapades are often featured on the popular Vice-produced food show “Munchies.” Restaurants hidden behind pizza joints like Blanca in Bushwick are earning multiple Michelin stars. David Chang is known to pair his critically acclaimed courses at Momofuku with cans of cheap beer. The old school of formal dining has been mercilessly labeled out of touch, stuffy and pretentious. “Where is the message?” Boulud asks rhetorically in regard to one highly reviewed restaurant he had recently visited. “Is it just that it’s controversial and different, so we are going to give it four stars? Sometimes I don’t get it. Frankly, I want to see them 15 years, 30 years, 40 years later. So far I’ve been here for 23 years. Thomas Keller has been cooking for almost 35 years. We are still standing. They are burning out quickly.” I ask how he remains relevant. He tells me that his productive and tightly knit team keeps the restaurant evolving but in a way that is true to Daniel’s mission. “I don’t care to be trendy,” Boulud tells me. “I just care to be relevant with time.” It is obvious Boulud does care. In the kitchen the foreheads of young cooks wrinkle over perfect morsels of rabbit, trout and asparagus. They nervously salute their chef as we pass. It’s a highly disciplined brigade. Boulud tours his six restaurants, three markets and his cocktail bar in New York City constantly, having just returned to Daniel from Boulud Sud and Épicerie on the Upper West Side for this interview. (He has five other restaurants in the U.S. and four internationally.) “I made myself a bánh mì [at Boulud Sud],” he says.

But his full attention goes to Daniel. Boulud actually lives above his restaurant, filling the building with his aura, like some sort of culinary superego. Slipshod cooks undoubtedly see his apparition in the kitchen corridors. He says if you hear a small noise in the private dining room, it is probably his 2-year-old son Julien playing in his living room directly overhead. “We don’t take anything for granted. It is never-ending,” he says. “Just because you have a name, you can’t walk away and chill out. No!” Boulud began making his name in France in the 1970s. He is from Lyon and worked with France’s culinary masters Roger Vergé, Georges Blanc and Michel Guérard. As a young man, legendary Lyonbased chef Paul Bocuse made him his global ambassador. “At 21, to be in charge of representing the brand of a chef who is world famous, I think is pretty good,” he says. By the early ‘80s, Boulud was already gaining recognition in New York through his work at Le Regence in the Plaza Athénée on the Upper East Side. The Times review of the then month-old restaurant noted the skill of the “young chef.” His next stop was Le Cirque, which has proven to be a veritable hothouse for producing culinary big shots. “Twice I brought Le Cirque four stars in the New York Times. I elevated Le Cirque. It was a very famous restaurant but not famous enough for the food. My goal was to make it famous for the food.” To accomplish that, Boulud changed the menu, the method of cooking, the recipes and the system in the kitchen. He hired better cooks and personally trained the sous-chef. “I worked very, very hard. I don’t think anyone today does this kind of work. It was very intense,” he says. “You start at nine in the morning and go until midnight, pushing, pushing, pushing. It is easier to criticize the chef than to do what that chef does!” CONTINUED ON PG 16

Boulud says leaving Le Cirque after six years to open Daniel was the greatest risk of his career. He had a wife and a young child to support at the time and only one investor. He says that he faced obstacles early on, especially convincing the critics that he was still a four-star chef. “The New York Times was in limbo with their food critics [at the time I opened Daniel]. They had a couple of different people reviewing,” he says. “There was this woman, Marian Burros, who thought maybe she was a critic — everybody thinks they’re a critic. She gave me two stars.” Burros wrote in July 1993, “What keeps this restaurant from achieving its full potential, at the moment, is not the conceptualization of the dishes, which showcase Mr. Boulud’s wonderful imagination, but their execution, which may be left too much to the members of the kitchen brigade. The staff needs work. Perhaps a visit from the sous-chef Mr. Boulud had to leave behind at Le Cirque?” “I told my team that this is the best opportunity to show them what the best two-star restaurant can be in America or in the world,” Boulud says. “If the New York Times didn’t want to give me the proper review, then I don’t care. I keep cooking. I keep doing what I do for my customer.” By December 1993 Daniel was named “one of the 10 best restaurants in the world” by the International Herald Tribune — a now defunct publication owned by the Washington Post and the New York

Times. Later that same year Ruth Reichl at the Times gave Daniel four stars. Today Boulud is once again facing the challenge of shifting tastes. But he’s confident that creative and open-minded contemporary French cooking has the staying power to outlast the chic young competitors du jour. “Everyone is going to grow old and appreciate what was then. They’ll say, ‘Oh god, why did it go away!’ That is why I don’t mind going through the wave. You should see the restaurant. The energy, the youth! To me fine dining is not about the pomp and circumstance; it is really about the privilege of a very, very special experience or moment. It is not about teaching people a lesson or anything. It is the food that is most important.” At the same time, Boulud is traveling and expanding his empire. Épicerie Boulud, a 2,000-square-foot gourmet market with a similar menu to the Uptown location, will soon open in the Santiago Calatrava– designed Oculus in the Financial District. He’s even crafted the in-flight menu for Air France, where La Première and business class guests on flights from the U.S. to Paris can enjoy food inspired by the “warm spices and flavors of Morocco, the Basque country,” as well as “Provence, the far East and beyond.” At home he’s enjoying a refrigerator packed with fresh vegetables, anchovies, sardines, dry Spanish jamon Ibérico and his collection of Japanese pickles.

“They are not as pickle-y as the French pickles and not as sweet as the German pickles. They are sometimes colorful. They use a lot of daikon radish, sprouts and bulbs. It is interesting,” he says. And of course, Champagne: “I have a bottle of Cristal I got for my birthday. I don’t drink cheap. Even in the category of Beaujolais or in the category of something affordable, I don’t want the cheapest one; I still want the good one. It doesn’t have to be expensive, just well made.” Boulud seems to be enjoying life at a time when it’s natural to step back and taste the fruits of your labor. Yet he says that he has never stopped innovating with his team of trusted cooks, many of whom have stood by his side for decades. “Frankly, if anyone depends just on me, I don’t think the restaurant will be the same,” he says. “When you work for a great architect, you have to have a sense of what the architect wants and execute that. Not every architect draws every building. They have a multitude of talented people working with them. It is the same with a chef.” “Do you think you will stay focused on Daniel forever?” I ask back in the skybox as we scan the evening’s menu. “I don’t know,” he says. “But I will make sure that as long as this restaurant is here that we are true to our message. Right now it is Daniel here with me and the team and the work we do together. I think it is making people very happy.”

Round Up

Par for the course LLNYC takes a swing at the membership requirements for 10 of the most exclusive country clubs surrounding NYC By Isabel Schwab

P

owerful people often conduct important deals over a round of golf at their country club, but what does it take to actually become a member of one these clubs and how much does it cost? The answers to those questions are well guarded. Many of the most exclusive country clubs in the U.S. operate under a veil of secrecy, protecting both the membership process and how much that membership costs. Most clubs require that an existing member sponsor or recommend any new recruits, and as many of the clubs were very quick to point out to LLNYC — membership is by invitation only. And don’t even think about compari-

National Golf Links of America SOUTHAMPTON, NY The club is more than 100 years old. Membership is available only through a referral from an existing member, and the board of the club evaluates each candidate. Costs include a $150,000 initiation fee and $9,000 in annual dues. It was once called “the snootiest club in America” in a 1962 Sports Illustrated article. www.natgolflinks.org

son shopping: If you would like to know the costs of these clubs before you sign up, in many cases the only way to find out is by asking an existing member. There were a few clubs that did share their fees with us, which we have included below. Among the costs associated with joining a country club are a nonrefundable initiation fee, which can be hundreds of thousands of dollars; annual dues in the tens of thousands of dollars; and a food-and-drink monthly minimum. In addition to those fees, a representative at one club told LLNYC that the clubs function similar to a co-op apartment building: Any costs toward the maintenance of the grounds

(a new sprinkler system, for instance) are divided up among the members. For our rundown, we chose a selection of some of the most exclusive clubs in the tristate area. This list could have easily focused solely on one area, like the Hamptons or Westchester, but we sought a broader reach and included some newer locations and clubs with less restrictive policies. Due to the difficulty of obtaining this information, this is not a ranking, and we cannot claim that this list is definitive or that it is complete, but it does offer a window into an exclusive sporting world — that is quite intentionally — closed off.


Trump National Golf Club Westchester BRIARCLIFF MANOR, NY

Membership here does not require a referral from an existing member but does involve visiting the club and filling out an application. Eric Trump himself reviews the application and signs off on every member of the club. Costs depend on age; initiation fees range from $30,000 to $50,000 and annual dues go up to $17,800. www.trumpnationalwestchester.com

Liberty National Golf Course JERSEY CITY, NJ This club offers sweeping views of Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty and is one of the most expensive golf courses ever built, at a cost of $250 million. No surprise then that the initiation fee is also one of the highest on our list at $300,000, with annual dues costing $29,000 for a family membership. It is possible to join without a referral from a member. www.libertynationalgc.com

Sebonack Golf Club

The Bridge Golf Club SOUTHAMPTON, NY You won’t even find a website for this untraditional club, which the New York Times called “the untucked country club” in a profile of its “maverick” owner, Robert Rubin. We were unable to reach someone at the club, but according to the Times, membership fees were $600,000 in 2006, placing it among the most expensive in the country.

This club, which opened in 2006, borders National Golf Links of America and is near Shinnecock Hills Golf Club. While a staff member declined to tell us the fees over the phone, a 2008 article in the Times lists the initiation fee as $650,000. Prospective members fill out an information sheet and speak with the owner, who judges if they are a good fit. www.sebonack.com

Unafraid to judge New York Times film reviewer A. O. Scott on his new book and the tough life of a critic BY CHRISTOPHER CAMERON PHOTOGRAPHED BY STUDIO SCRIVO

“T

his is the one dividend for whatever kind of celebrity I have in New York,” New York Times film critic A. O. Scott says. “It is the only place in all of New York where I can get a table. I love it here.” It’s 11:30 a.m. on a bright Thursday and I’ve just met Scott at a back booth at Russ & Daughters Café on Orchard Street, two and half blocks south of the original Jewish appetizing institution. Scott has become a bit of an institution himself at the café and shop, arriving early on Saturdays to grab an early table or number at the counter. He’s been coming regularly for the last five or six years, ever since Niki Russ, the granddaughter of one of the “daughters,” recognized him while slicing fish and struck up a friendship. “What do you like here?” I ask. In his Oxford shirt and with a midlength beard and glasses, Scott, 49, has mastered perennial-graduate student style: a little disheveled, vaguely academic, thoughtful. “Well, I really like the Gaspe Nova, but the ‘hot smoke/cold smoke’ is good. I like herring so … I like the egg things, too. It’s all, uh … it’s all pretty good. We should share some pickles if you’re interested,” Scott says. “I’m interested in pickles,” I say, putting my trust in the well-known critic’s taste and ordering the herring plate. Since joining the New York Times staff in 2000, Scott has become one of the most visible, influential and occasionally controversial critics working in the medium today. His brand of criticism is open-minded, fun and unafraid. He says that his critical bias is toward films that are machines for empathy. “Movies, not uniquely but maybe more powerfully and completely than another narrative art form, can show you people who you don’t know, who aren’t like you, or who don’t even exist and compel you to care about them.” He cites, in almost contrarian fashion, “The Fast and the Furious” movies as examples. “You are having a great time watching the cars crash, but at the same time you

care about these people. It’s ridiculous. [But] because of the charisma of the performances, and the way the whole project was conceived and the way it is about friendship, loyalty, solidarity and family, you care about them. It is kind of amazing that you do,” he says. But he’s also been assailed on social media for his criticism. Most notably, Scott clashed with Samuel L. Jackson over the first “Avengers” film in 2012. “The secret of ‘The Avengers’ is that it is a snappy little dialogue comedy dressed up as something else, that something else being a giant A.T.M. for Marvel and its new studio overlords, the Walt Disney Company,” Scott wrote in the Times, adding that the film suffered from a “grinding, hectic emptiness” and “bloated cynicism.” Jackson fired back in a tweet, which served as a rallying cry for other fans to blitz Scott on Twitter: “#Avengers fans, NY Times critic AO Scott needs a new job! Let’s help him find one! One he can ACTUALLY do!” As Scott says, “Nick Fury himself released some fury,” But like the blockbuster film, Scott took the blowback seriously, and this February a polemical book emerged from the fray, “Better Living Through Criticism: How to Think about Art, Pleasure, Beauty, and Truth.” The book has helped to reopen the conversation about the importance of criticism and its role in art at a time when social media has given virtually anyone with a phone the platform to engage in criticism. “The misunderstanding of criticism, or just the hostility towards its existence, is especially strong with fans of superhero franchises movies. They get really, really mad,” Scott says. He’s ordered a mushroom barley soup and the “hot smoke/cold smoke” — a kippered salmon, with a Scottish smoked salmon spread and chips. “It is all very silly, and if you are a reasonable adult it doesn’t bother you. But I found that it does tap into older, longer standing and more respectable traditions of suspicion against criticism,” he says. For instance, in an interview Samuel L. Jackson argued that “The Avengers” was just “a piece of bullshit pop culture” that CONTINUED ON PG 28

shouldn’t have been taken so seriously by Scott. But in the same interview he claimed that it really “is a fucking great movie” that is beyond critique. Scott points out that Jackson is tapping into “a reflexive disdain for movies and other low and middlebrow amusements that came so easily to intellectuals of another era” while simultaneously invoking “the ancient, super highbrow idea that a work of art is inviolate and sufficient unto itself.” In his book, Scott addresses each of those traditional claims against the role of the critic from different angles in six chapters. And he doesn’t shy away from the meat and potatoes. There is nearly an entire chapter devoted to dealing with arguments made in Kant’s third critique. He says the book was influenced by Susan Sontag’s “On Photography,” which is also broken down into six essays. The essays are supplemented with three dialogues. In one, Scott battles a skeptical interlocutor, questioning all his arguments for the essential importance of criticism. “What’s the point of criticism?” the voice asks. “It seems like you can dish it out but can’t take it.” I ask if the interlocutor was a stand-in for the late media columnist David Carr — who was filmed arguing about criticism with Scott for the New York Times. “Ha ha yes. Yes, I was working on the book at that point [when the video was made] and it was great. I love that video, and I love David. I miss him. He was willing to go all the way with stuff at the risk, which he never minded taking, of looking foolish himself.” In the video Carr plays a friendly devil’s advocate. “People are going out for a good time; you’re out to spoil that,” Carr says.

“You make it [criticism] sound so warm and cuddly, but in fact you’ll take something people have sweated over, sunk years of their life into, and you’ll grab ahold of it, you’ll look at it and snap it right in half.” Scott fires back with shorthand versions of the arguments he lays out in his book. “If you are making creative work … you are subject to judgment. This is not a progressive kindergarten. … What you are pursuing is excellence, is truth, is beauty,” he says in the clip. Scott says the interlocutor is not all Carr. “I think the questioning voice in those dialogues is a little more passive aggressive than David ever was. The dialogues were kind of a way of appropriating the voice that is always there in my head, and out in the world, saying, ‘Who the fuck are you?’ I really wanted to take the question seriously,” Scott says. … “The chopped liver is also good,” he says, briefly changing the subject to ponder his food. He says that the soup isn’t too thick here. “I should come here more often and get gout,” I joke, dipping pickled herring into cream sauce. “This place was always interesting to me because it serves traditional workingman noshes and flights of caviar. It’s a good representation of how I feel New York is in general,” I say. “Right! The range on this menu, you can get a knish for $6 or $1,000 sturgeon,” he says. … “My childhood was very nomadic,” Scott says.” My parents are both academics and they started out in Madison, Wisconsin. Then we moved to Chicago, North Caro-

lina, to Princeton and Providence. There was a lot of zigzagging and I went to a lot of different schools. I was always the new kid. “I guess it was sort of an intellectually intense family. There was a lot of discussion and arguments around the dinner table. There was a lot of interest in ideas and a lot of books around. A lot of records. My parents didn’t really let me go to all the different movies. They were a little stricter, as parents were in those days about television. TV was a little bit of a taboo. So as soon as I got my own TV, I just sort of binged for a month.” “So, what’s an early movie moment that you recall?” I ask. “I remember — I don’t think it was the first movie I saw, but I was young, probably eight — going to see ‘The Sting.’ I thought it was really, really cool. The plot was hard to figure out, but it seemed very cool. There was swearing in it. And Robert Redford was very charismatic,” Scott says. “The Sting” swept the Academy Awards in 1973, scoring 10 Oscars nominations and winning seven, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay. “In those days they would bring movies back to theaters and I saw ‘Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid’ and I was very excited to see ‘All the Presidents Men’ when it came out. I read the book and I saw the movie three or four times. You know, the ’70s was a great time for moviegoing. Especially for age-inappropriate movies. There was this great latitude of the PG rating. There was no PG-13, so you could get a lot in under the barrier of the R. But like other children of the ’70s, it was “Star Wars” that was the pivotal pop-culture moment for Scott at age 11. Unlike most kids, “Annie Hall,” another movie in the-

aters at the same time, played a similar role. “Those movies together remain important, but in different ways. ‘Star Wars’ was the kingdom of fantasy and childhood that seemed to be made exactly for me and who I was then. Whereas ‘Annie Hall’ was much more, as we say now, aspirational. I didn’t understand any of the jokes, it was all sort of sophisticated, but I wanted to be able to crack the code. I want to know what this world is and what this movie is about,” he says. “It seems sort of like perimeters. One is really big and one is really small,” I say. “Yes. And I think in retrospect one of the huge influence on my subsequent thinking and taste was probably MAD Magazine in the ’70s. It gave me access to all kinds of things that I wouldn’t have known about otherwise. Like a lot of movies that I wasn’t allowed to see or that I missed would come up in MAD satires, which were really pieces of film criticism in a way. They would draw the frame so well. When you finally did see the movie you felt like you had seen it before. They made jokes that were exactly right for letting you in even if you didn’t really get it,” he says. “If you were an obnoxious smarty-pants kid in the ’60s and ’70s, MAD was your Partisan Review.” … “By the way, these pickles are great.

I appreciate the introduction to this place,” I say. “If you ever come here at night you should get the smoked martini,” he says. “What’s smoked about it?” I ask.” “There is a Laphroaig [whiskey] rinse, so you get a little smoke. It doesn’t actually have any smoked fish in it. It goes with the cuisine really well though,” he says. “Nice. I can never drink too much Laphroaig,” I say. … “Did you want to make movies?” I ask. “So, I wanted to write in a vague kind of way. I was probably more interested in the mystique of being a writer than in the actual writing. … I read with great fervor the Paris Review’s ‘Writers at Work.’ [That’s where] they would ask William Faulkner what kinds of pens he used, or ‘Do you wake up early in the morning?’ ‘Do you type your first draft?’ And I fantasized about being interviewed like that. “I was also interested in criticism in that I read a lot of movie and music criticism. If had a fantasy career at age 14 or 15 it was probably something like ‘Almost Famous,’ [being] a rock critic for Rolling Stone … sitting down with Mick Jagger or Bob Dylan.” “So, I can put to death the idea that you had secret movie ambitions that failed?” I ask.

“Yeah, not really,” he says. “It’s just that you brought that up in your book several times, the idea of the critic as a failed artist,” I say. “Right. It certainly doesn’t apply to movies. I loved movies and I went to a lot of movies. But I never really wanted to be a filmmaker, or a star, or to go out to Hollywood,” he says. “You had actors in your family. It was never something you toyed with because of that?” I ask. “Not really. That is a theory that I have encountered sometimes. My mother’s uncle and aunt were Eli Wallach and Anne Jackson. [Both were actors of stage and screen known for films like ‘The Good, the Bad and the Ugly’ and ‘The Shining.’] And my parents actually got married in the apartment where Anne still lives,“ he says. “Did you ever give them bad reviews?” I say. “Ha ha, by the time I was reviewing they weren’t doing that much. I do remember Eli showing up in ‘Mystic River’ and thinking, ‘Oh my god, does this mean I can’t review this movie?’ But he shows up only for a few minutes. … But I can’t say [their careers] were an influence on me.” … Growing up in the insular world of acaCONTINUED ON PG 30

Scott cited “The Sting” as one of his early movie memories.

demia, Scott says that going to graduate school was just what one did. He says he thought about moving to New York and trying to make it as a magazine writer but didn’t have the guts. In school, Scott had waffled between dissertation topics. Sometimes he was focused on the 19th century, Emerson and Melville, and later he wrote about New York School poets, Robert Lowell and Frank O’Hara. But he never finished his doctoral degree. Later he tried and failed to write “a big critical history of the American novel in the second half of the 20th century.” Scott’s first reporting assignment appeared in the Nation, where he was paid $0.10 a word to review two volumes of poetry criticism. “It was like someone unlocked the cage and I could get out. I had always liked writing, and I would sometimes be criticized by my professors for writing too smoothly or glibly or for having too much fun,” he says. “I was reading a lot of popular literary critics from the middle of the 20th century like Mary McCarthy and Elizabeth Hardwick, who were writing in a much more open and democratic idiom. It frustrated me that I couldn’t do that.” He got more assignments at the Nation, the New York Times Review of Books and the Village Voice and then a job as an “editorial peon” at The New York Review of Books. “It was a good address to have,” Scott says. He moved on to Lingua Franca. “Lingua Franca was like Spy, it was short lived and had a reputation as a place where a lot of careers got started,” Scott says, describing the magazine as an academic gossip magazine, somewhere between Gawker and The New York Review of Books. His first New York Times byline appears in 1997 on a review of Bruce Duffy’s novel “Last Comes the Egg” — which, by the way, he gave high marks. By 2000, Scott had joined the Times as a film critic. Four years later he was named chief critic. But a lot has changed in the last

decade, and it’s increasingly common to encounter the argument that professional critics are obsolete. “I feel like it must be harder than ever to be a critic today. A) Because of social media; everyone is suddenly a critic. And B) because of our current obsession with identity. How do you deal with those things?” I ask. We must be on something like our sixth coffee refill. “The social media part is sometimes frustrating and exhausting. But it’s also invigorating, because you see who some of your readers are. That is kind of a nice piece of data to have,” he says. “I think all writers are narcissistic in that way. It’s easy to get obsessed with clicks and tweets,” I say. “It is nice to have someone almost instantaneously say, ‘That was a funny review,’ or ‘A. O. Scott is an idiot.’ It feeds that narcissism. It also makes the field a lot more competitive. You have to fight for attention and clear a way for yourself.” “What about the rise of identity politics?” I ask. “The identity thing is more challenging and I think is something that can’t be dismissed. That is to say, you can’t, for better or for worse, write anymore assuming the transparency or universality of your own perspective. You have to acknowledge where you are and where you are coming from. Which I think is not a bad thing. “I think also you have to be free to

explore the different dimensions of that. I think there is a reductive version of identity, where certain people because of their background or gender or race or class can only, and should only, think a certain way. But a lot of the writers who I admire take a much more expansive and pluralistic view of it: That in fact there is this common world. There is this stuff that we are all watching and thinking about. It’s available to all of us and we are all going to think about it differently,” he says. Scott offers Wesley Morris, a critic at large for the New York Times, and TaNehisi Coates, national correspondent for the Atlantic, who writes about racial politics in the U.S., as examples. “In a way what the focus on identity means is that you have to be explicit about what has been true all along. Robert Warshow [a mid-20th century critic for the Partisan Review] said, ‘A man goes to the movies. The critic must be honest enough to admit that he is that man.’ Pauline Kael [a highly influential film critic for the New Yorker] would never pretend that she was anyone but Pauline Kael, going to the movies and writing about them the way she did,” he says. “Do you think that at its worst, that it can be censoring? That this voice is saying, ‘You aren’t this sort of person, so you can’t write about this?’” I ask. “Who’s stopping you? You can get called out and criticized in ways that feel very unfair. It can sometimes be very knee-jerk and unthinking, but that is always true. There will always be people who read you wrong or unsympathetically or don’t give you the benefit of the doubt you feel you deserve. But that’s just what it is to write,” he says. So it goes both ways. Artists feel that their masterpieces are viewed with unsympathetic eyes and unjustly panned, and critics feel they are misread and misunderstood. It’s just a new chapter in a fight as old as Aristotle.

Living the high life in the Hudson Valley Working farms and sleek glass boxes draw buyers shunning Hamptons scene By Jennifer White Karp

For today’s buyers, just as in the past, the main draw is nature. Views of the Hudson Valley, the Catskills and verdant countryside attracted illustrious families like the Rockefellers and Vanderbilts DORQJ ZLWK - 3 0RUJDQ DQG )UDQNOLQ ' Roosevelt. The natural beauty of the area continues to beckon hiking, fishing, canoeing and biking enthusiasts. “The scenery is stunning,� said Adam +DGH D EURNHU ZLWK +RXOLKDQ /DZUHQFH Christie’s International Real Estate. “To escape from the city and live in this type of setting — and just two hours from New York City — is extremely unique.� Hade is seeing a steady increase of buyers looking to the Hudson Valley as a getaway destination. “I’ve worked with numerous homebuyers who have explored the Hamptons for a second home but have ultimately decided against buying in that area,� he said.

Overcrowding and stories of people sitting in traffic for hours discouraged them. Unlike the relatively compact Hamptons, when you’re talking about Hudson Valley, you’re talking about a sprawling area that comprises the valley of the Hudson River and its adjacent communities, from Albany and Troy southward to Yonkers in Westchester County.

With such a wide area to cover, this month LLNYC offers a ranking of notable homes on the market, determined by using Zillow and contacting brokers, who provided some listings not yet on the MLS. Some homes are more humble than our typical opulent spreads, but all feature vast square footage and acreage for comparatively lower figures. Dutchess County ranges along the Hudson River from Beacon in the south, where the Dia:Beacon modern art museum is located, to the village of Tivoli in the north, and is bordered on the east by Connecticut. While development has introduced suburban-style homes, the landscape also still features picturesque farms with red barns and grazing horses. Columbia County lies between the Hudson River and Massachusetts. The county seat, Hudson, the city located along the west border, is experiencing a revival, thanks to new antique stops, restaurants and art galleries. The buyers that broker Elyse Harney

Morris, an owner of Elyse Harney Real Estate, works with are “done with the Hamptons” but often don’t start out looking at Hudson Valley. “So many people want the Berkshires, but then they realize that it’s an extra 20 to 40 minutes from New York City. The magic number is two hours,” she said. She works with many New York City residents looking to buy second homes in the much-desired villages of Millerton and Millbrook in Dutchess County and the town of Ancram in Columbia County. Her typical clients, 40-something-yearold couples with children, “don’t want a fixer-upper,” she said. “What are selling are turn-key homes where all you have to bring is your toothbrush and you can start enjoying all we have to offer here,” Morris said. That includes Hudson Valley’s farmto-table culture. “We’ve always had great farmers markets, but now they are open year-round,” Morris said. The Millerton Farmers Market, for example, includes

Dutchess County farmers who sell their own heirloom vegetables, heritage meats and micro greens. Foodie culture here is also fueled by the famed Culinary Institute of America in Dutchess County, which turns out leading celebrity chefs, and some of its graduates stick around to open their own eateries. Morris pointed out CIA graduate Daphna Mizrahi’s popular restaurant as just one example. Mizrahi, a winner last year on Food Network’s “Chopped,” is the chef and owner at Monte’s Local Kitchen & Tap Room in Amenia. Also generating buzz in Amenia: The Silo Ridge Field Club, a luxury resort community that will have 245 residentiual units, an 18-hole golf course and and an Olympic-quality private equestrian center among its recreational offerings. Developers broke ground on the $500 million project in March. Predesigned homes will be priced between $1 million and $10 million, while custom homes may cost over $30 million. Consider this ranking of homes on the market in Hudson Valley an invitation to pursue the outdoor dreams of your choice on your own property — whether that includes raising heirloom chickens or playing a game of tennis.

Landscape designer Todd Haiman created a 1,100-square-foot oasis on a private terrace in Noho.

For another take on gardening high above the sidewalks, there are the blueberry bushes and strawberry plants planted for a client of Haiman’s in Noho on a 1,100-square-foot private terrace accessed by a spiral staircase. Like many modern terrace-seekers, the Noho client wanted more than just a place to sunbathe. Edged in blue-river stones, the oasis is tricked out with an outdoor shower, a day bed for afternoon naps with storage beneath and space enough for yoga poses, though the client prefers to jump rope. Though its cooking appliance is just a basic grill, most clients prefer a full kitchen, and they have an array of outdoor-rated (that is, made of stainless steel) appliances to choose among. Popular brands for outdoor built-in grills include Twin Eagles, whose 36-inchwide model, which comes with a rotisserie and lid-operated night-light, retails for around $5,000, according to an online search. (Note: New York does not allow gas tanks, only piped-in fuel.) But the Mercedes of cooking equipment, designers said, is from Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet, which supplied the kitchen belonging to high-end architect Lou Switzer, and serves as the focal point of a spacious 2,800-square-foot terrace on the Upper East Side. That grill, which stretches to 38 inches and offers gas- and wood-burning functions, sits behind a black marbletopped bar against an ipe-wood back-

Costs start at about $ɖɔɔ,ɔɔɔ for a spare-no-expenses high-end job, experts said. splash, which conceals a tall water tank. A similar-sized Kalamazoo grill retails for about $15,000. Switzer’s fridge, tucked under the counter like most rooftop models, is also from Kalamazoo; others prefer the brand True Residential. Its solid-door 24inch-wide model retails for about $3,000, according to Gringer and Sons, a New York supplier. Switzer designed his own terrace, which also features bluestone pavers, a hot tub and enough leg room for 100person parties, he said. About all that’s missing is a TV, though he might add one this summer, he said. As long as those flat-screens are shaded and protected from the elements, they can be enjoyed outside, experts said. For furniture choices, New Yorkers are flocking to Royal Botania. The Belgian brand’s Vigor line, which offers teak-framed sectionals and deep-dyed cushions, are well suited to rain and sun. A sprawling seven-module sectional with a matching table will run about $37,000, a Royal Botania rep said. Smaller terraces, meanwhile, may be

more suited to another trendy European manufacturer, Fermob of France, which produces colorful, petite metal furniture. A bistro table and pair of matching chairs cost about $600 at ABC Carpet & Home in the Flatiron District. In general, as terrace design evolves, clients are also increasingly considering their impact on the environment. Ipe, which can be harvested from the Amazon jungle by clear-cutting, has fallen out of favor in some quarters. Instead, try black locust, “which is native, lasts a long time and is rot-resistant,” Haiman said. What’s the total cost of all this decking and pine trees, planters and couches? Assume about $150 to $250 per square foot, or starting at about $200,000 for a spare-no-expenses high-end job, experts said. That might be a small price to pay to get the best of both worlds, city and country, in one space. Switzer, a married father of three sons and owner of a dog, had been considering relocating from New York to the suburbs before creating his terrace. “I think,” he said, “we’ve JRWWHQ RXU PRQH\ȇV ZRUWK RXW RI LW ȋɄ

Jesse Bertomen, New York City Power Broker – “My favorite neighborhood is Chelsea. I grew up in a small town in Upstate New York and always loved coming into the City. I can vividly remember my mother telling us to ‘lock the doors’ every time we’d

turn onto 14th St from the West Side Highway – it was the only place she’d say that. Things have changed quite a bit. Now at $2500/sf, it is a whole different neighborhood – but like so many others, maintains the flavor and pays homage to its past.”

usinessman and George H.W. Bush pal Bruce Gelb wants $65 million for his 15-room aerie at 1060 Fifth Avenue. Gelb was a former commissioner for the United Nations and the United States ambassador to Belgium under Bush. Gelb was the vice chairman of the board of Bristol-Myers Squibb Company and president of hair giant Clairol. He met Bush when they both attended Phillips Academy Andover in Massachusetts.

hey say the fourth time is the charm. Or at least that’s what hedge fund billionaire Steven Cohen is hoping for at his One Beacon Court duplex, which he is again listing, for the fourth time since 2013, Curbed reported. This time, the price is $72 million. The four-bedroom, 9,000-square-foot penthouse at 151 East 58th Street first hit the market for $115 million in April 2013. The pad, part of the residential component of the Bloomberg Tower, has been on and off the market several times. Douglas Elliman has the listing.

plan to turn the Sony Building, the 37-story office tower at 550 Madison, into high-end apartments, has been scrapped because of the cooling market, the New York Times reported. Developer Joseph Chetrit paid $1.1 billion for the building three years ago and hired star architect Robert A.M. Stern for the residential conversion. An international hotel group planned a five-star hotel there as well. But in late April, Chetrit revealed a deal to sell the tower for $1.4 billion to the Olayan Group, which is controlled by a Saudi family, and Chelsfield, which manages its properties. It will remain an office tower.

Actor scores big time

A

new luxury residential building offers larger layouts not often seen in full-service rentals. The Related Companies’ 11-story development at 456 Washington Street has rare three-, four- and five-bedroom layouts among its 84 residences. Finishes are intended to compete with those in luxury condos and kitchens include walnut cabinetry, Statuario stone backsplashes and appliances by Sub-Zero.

Restaurant beat

Dining chez vous ucked inside Le District, the enormous French food hall in Brookfield Place, is L’Appart, a small restaurant that aims to recreate the experience of an informal dinner party. It features an open kitchen where chef GÊrard ViÊ, a Daniel Boulud protÊgÊ, prepares a six-course French-themed tasting menu that makes the most of Le District’s ingredients.

A Million-Dollar Building

T

he South Street Seaport is getting Momofuku’d: David Chang is opening a spot at the South Street Seaport’s new Pier 17. Chang, known for his distaste for convention, will open sometime in 2017 a new restaurant at the three-level pier currently under construction, the New York Post reported. Sources told the newspaper the restaurant would be a sit-down one.

pin studios like SoulCycle’s and Flywheel’s are hugely popular, but most classes have little room for an instructor to move about and offer one-onone corrections. Now ChaiseFitness has started a new class called ChaisePedal at its FiDi location where instructors aim to pay more attention to riders’ posture and less to silly choreography, according to the New York Post. Imagine that.

T

he “Million Dollar Listing� stars Ryan Serhant, Luis Ortiz and Fredrik Eklund threw a big party in April to celebrate the opening of One Seaport, a new residential tower that is going up at the South Street Seaport. One Seaport will be 670 feet tall and have 80 residences, a 24-hour concierge, a porte cochere with valet parking, and a pool with views of the East River. Condos will range in price from $1 million to $20 million.

n his long and illustrious career, the chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten has cooked for many celebrities (including celebrity dogs). Now he’s making his first foray into the Hamptons. According to Page Six, the chef has signed on to run a restaurant in the Bridgehampton hotel Topping Rose House. Celebrity chef Tom Collicchio started the restaurant in 2012, but left in 2014. The current chef of the restaurant, Drew Hyatt, will likely stay on as chef de cuisine.

THE LAST WORD

The watches that need to be on the tip of your tongue By Isabel Schwab

1

ɄCAPS OFF: Though technically a man’s watch, the Clé de Cartier, a solid yet elegant timepiece, works well for either gender. Masterfully crafted, it is the perfect (über-luxury) piece with which to send off any ambitious grad to face the joys (and challenges) of adulthood. $34,900 for solid gold; www.tourneau.com

2

ɄGOES WITH EVERYTHING: You never have to worry about being over- or underdressed with the Rolex GMT-Master II, which is appropriate for every occasion, from your child’s birthday party to a black-tie gala. And even better, its resilient materials and ability to display multiple time zones make it an incredibly practical investment. $8,950 in stainless steel; www.rolex.com

3ɄFIT FOR A PRINCE: IWC only made 1,000 of

ɕ

The Little Prince watches and one of them is at Tourneau at Bryant Park. Named after Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s classic story, this watch has whimsical features like a day indicator with illuminated stars; each represents a different planet the prince visits. $12,100; www.tourneau. com

ɖ

ɗ

4ɄKEEP IT GOING: The forgetful (or busy)

man in your life will have one less thing to worry about with the IWC Portofino, a classic automatic watch, which has an eight-day power reserve. A discrete dial shows how much battery life is left so you’ll always have an accurate measure of the time. $9,900 in stainless steel; www.iwc.com

5

ɄSET SAIL: Rolex is the only luxury brand that makes its watches fully waterproof (not just water resistant). The band of the Rolex Yacht Master 40 is made from highly durable black elastomer, so you can hit the seas knowing your timepiece will be ticking long after you return. $22,000; www.rolex.com
