If you’re looking to do some carb loading before or after a run, don’t miss the pasta pros at New York’s favorite Italian restaurants. In Midtown West our go-tos are BuCa dI Beppo, la MaSSerIa and its sister spot MaSSerIa deI VINI, and patSy’S ItalIaN reStauraNt, celebrating its 75th anniversary this year. For a quick pick-me-up in midtown, the ZIBetto eSpreSSo BarS have desserts and coffees as only the Italians can do it. Down in the Flatiron you’ll find us indulging in the artisanal approach of oBICà MoZZarella Bar, pIZZa e CuCINa. Further downtown, VIlla MoSCoNI and MoNte’S have been Village favorites for decades—one taste and you’ll know why. Nearby lie the quaint streets of Little Italy. We love classic familyowned spot Il CortIle, followed by a sweet ending at Caffé palerMo, where Baby John “The Cannoli King” serves up the best cannolis in the city. (And you don’t have to be in training for a marathon to enjoy them.)

Cover Story

Courtesy of Village Halloween Parade

Scary Good Times: Halloween in New York

Thrills and chills accompany New York’s legendary Village Halloween Parade on October 31st.

Halloween in New York brings something for everyone. A major highlight is NYC’s 46th Annual Village Halloween Parade, which goes off at 7pm in Greenwich Village on Halloween night. All those in costume are welcome to join a parade of hundreds of puppets, bands, dancers, artists, and thousands of New Yorkers in outfits of their own creation—it’s the country’s most wildly creative public participatory event and only major nighttime parade. This year’s theme is Wild Thing!, encouraging participants to look to antlers, fur, nails, teeth, hooves, and tails for better connecting with our animal sides.

Speaking of wildlife, National Geographic Encounter: Ocean Odyssey in Times Square is a new immersive adventure that provides a virtual take on life under the seas. Groundbreaking technology uses stunning photorealistic animation to convey rarely witnessed moments. Kids who arrive in a sea-themed costume get in free with the purchase of an adult ticket, from Friday, October 25 to Thursday, October 31! While you’re in Times Square, don’t miss perennial Halloween headquarters Madame Tussauds New York and Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Times Square.

The weekend before Halloween can be just as big as the holiday itself. On Saturday the 26th there’s trick-or-treating, arts and crafts, and roaming cartoon characters at the American Museum of Natural History’s annual Halloween Celebration. Over on the Brooklyn side, you’ll find Prospect Park’s 40th Annual Halloween Haunted Walk and Fair

24 www.cityguideny.com

and Fort Greene Park’s 21st Annual Great PUPkin Dog Costume Contest.

On Sunday the 27th, don’t be afraid to visit Grand Bazaar NYC as it transforms into a Scary Bazaar with creepy-crawly decorations, 140+ spooky vendors (many in costume), and a fantastic selection of scary-sweet treats from artisanal food vendors. Also uptown, on Wednesday the 30th, the Charles A. Dana Discovery Center on the north end of Central Park hosts a twilight crafts scene that culminates with the Halloween Pumpkin Flotilla, a jack-o’-lantern fleet that sets sail across the Harlem Meer.

A Halloween night must-see will be the Theater for the New City’s 42nd Annual Village Halloween Costume Ball (see p. 20).

For an interactive experience with a few rosé pours, steer yourself to Rosé Mansion. This wine-themed pop-up has great events all month, including the 31st’s Mystical Halloween Night. Face painters, spooky characters, costumes, wine cocktails, a live DJ, and other performances are all on the docket.

You can dine among the stars and immerse yourself in Hollywood history at Times Square’s Planet Hollywood. All October long, the restaurant gets in the spirit of the season with Haunted Hollywood, bringing together some spooktacular horror film memorabilia, decorations, and videos.

Don’t be scared off—the staff is welcoming and the menu boasts an eclectic mix of favorites, including pastas, salads, and award-winning burgers.

A BROADWAY INVITATION TO GET YOUR HALLOWEEN FREAK ON

Joan Marcus

From mythical to madcap, Broadway stages are crowded with shows shrouded in eerie theatrical trappings. Long-running productions like the epically haunting Phantom of the Opera, drenched in Gothic chills, and Wicked, the formidable conjuring the witches of Oz during their school days, have recently been joined

by Hadestown–a New Orleans-infused journey from light and sun into a bleak and haunting underworld; and Beetlejuice, a gleeful afterlife romp with a stageful of lovably bizarre characters, living and dead. The latter has assumed the title of “Unofficial Official Musical of Halloween,” complete with Thursday costume contests and a three-day “Halloweekend Beetlecrawl” with specialty drinks Hannah Corneau having a Wicked (October 25-27). At Moulin Rouge!, the tantalizing green allure good time as Elphaba. of absinthe seems to flow like a river beneath the sexy glitz of the iconic club, with a seriously contemporary score and attitude, despite its vintage trappings. Other “spirited” Halloween-centric shows include (of course) Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, as well as new Broadway arrival The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical and the Disney trio of shows that shine when it comes to year-round costume attire: The Lion King, Aladdin, and the two-princess favorite Frozen. Finally, should you be a fan of the paranormal–more specifically the idea of mind reading and psychological illusion–I suggest scoring a ticket to Derren Brown: Secret, a show so steeped in jaw-dropping mentalist savvy it’s scary. –Griffin Miller Participants for the Village Halloween Parade enter the lineup between 6:30 and 8:30pm on Sixth Ave. at Canal St. For spectators, the route follows Sixth Ave. north from Spring St. to 16th St. from 7-10:30pm; halloween-nyc.com.

The collaboratively produced art experience Color Factory takes inspiration from the colors of the city, guiding visitors through 16 participatory installations. You’ll pass through room after room, each with its own character and its own form of interaction.

Some is physical, like a dance party with a shifting-color floor. Some of it is personal, like the room-sized flow-chart questionnaire that leads you to your personal color. Some of it is artistic, in the way that art can lead you to see things in a fresh way—even something as ever-present as color.

Spectacular views from dawn to dusk at Top of the Rock.

New York is a vertical city and there’s no place better to take it all in than the incredible Top of the Rock, a stunning perch atop Rockefeller Center.

You’ll find state-of-the-art features such as reserved-time tickets (meaning you won’t need to spend hours standing in line), multimedia exhibits, an indoor viewing area (nice and cozy for colder days), and transparent safety-glass panels that allow wholly unobstructed views of the city’s most iconic landmarks, including the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, the rivers, and all of Central Park (its size can only truly be appreciated when seen from above).

This crown jewel of NYC sightseeing also boasts two crystal installations by Swarovski and the jaw-dropping Sky Shuttle elevators.

Outfitted with transparent glass ceilings, the Sky Shuttles let riders view their own rapid acceleration through the building’s shaftway as they zip their way towards the light and open air above.

The Grand Viewing Deck on the 69th floor offers unparalleled views of the city, with visibility reaching some 30 miles on a clear day. The 70th Floor is the proverbial cherry on top, allowing visitors to experience a 360-degree panorama of Manhattan in all of its glory. This is an open-air perch with completely unobstructed views—no glass or anything. It provides a vantage point unlike any other in the city...or the world. Open daily 8am-midnight. Admission $36 adults, $34 seniors above age 62, $30 children 6-12.; kids 6 and under free. 30 Rockefeller Plaza (btw. Fifth & Sixth Aves.), 877-NYC-ROCK, topoftherocknyc.com

Fabulous Fall: Welcoming Newcomers and Celebrating Classics

By GRIFFIN MILLER

Karen Olivo, Aaron Tveit, and an iconic red mill in the new Broadway smash Moulin Rouge!

It happens every year: the summer/fall portion of the new Broadway season comes in like a lamb and moves into winter like The Lion King. Unlike the spring, musicals in fall are generally outnumbered by plays, which come packed with big name stars from the U.S. and U.K. For those willing to congregate at the stage door after the show, handshakes, autographs, and selfies add up to pretty awesome rewards.

The current season officially launched July 25th when Moulin Rouge!—the outrageously divine over-the-top jukebox musical set in fin de siècle Paris—opened to already sold-out houses. (Order your tickets in advance and arrive ready to be blown away.)

You couldn’t ask for a more eclectic group of new musicals overall, with three out of five falling under the jukebox heading: David Byrne’s American Utopia goes directly to the concert jugular with a theatrical bent; TINA: The Tina Turner Musical is a lavish bio packed with the title character’s greatest hits; and Jagged Little Pill, featuring music from the Grammy-scoring album by Alanis Morissette, tells the tale of a family weighing their status quo existence.

Rounding out the musical realm are two originals. One is Freestyle Love Supreme, the brainchild of Lin-Manuel Miranda and his Hamilton director Thomas Kail, along with musical improv maven Anthony

Veneziale. Structure-wise, we’re talking improvised hip-hop with the bonus of nightly (unannounced) guest stars—possibly Miranda himself, Wayne Brady of Whose Line Is It Anyway?, or Tony winner James Monroe Iglehart. Family-friendly rock musical The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical tells the story of a regular kid who just happens to be a son of Zeus, with heavyduty powers and an insanely adventurous quest on his young shoulders.

The current mix of new plays and stars includes Olivier winner Tom Hiddleston (Thor; The Avengers) making his Broadway debut in director Jamie Lloyd’s deftly etched revival of Betrayal. His costars in Harold Pinter’s stark romantic triangle are Zawe Ashton (Velvet Buzzsaw; Nocturnal Animals) and Charlie Cox (The Theory of Everything; Stardust).

The Manhattan Theatre Club’s The Height of the Storm is a beautiful, enigmatic drama that soars thanks to its performances, particularly those of its two leads, iconic actors Eileen Atkins and Jonathan Pryce. Other major stars in limited Broadway runs include Oscar winner Marisa Tomei in Tennessee Williams’ The Rose Tattoo; Mary-Louise Parker in Adam Rapp’s The Sound Inside, and one of Parker’s Red and Red 2 costars, Brian Cox, who portrays President Lyndon Baines Johnson in The Great Society (Part

Other Broadway additions include Derren Brown: Secret, starring the title Brit, who unleashes an arsenal of psychological illusions on his entirely malleable audience. This may be his Broadway debut, but expect return performances. Jaw-dropping doesn’t come close to what this laid-back guy conjures in two and a half hours.

Jeremy O. Harris’ provocative Slave Play was a ferocious hit Off-Broadway; the satirical drama, now at the Golden Theatre, unapologetically lights a fire under the issues of sex and race. And then there’s Linda Vista, a critically acclaimed comedy from Pulitzer Prize and Tony winner Tracy Letts (August: Osage County) focused on a divorced 50-year old guy trying to move on with his life. Finally, there’s the season’s most talked about import: Matthew Lopez’s The Inheritance, a Olivier-winning two-part epic that uproots E. M. Forster’s Howards End and transplants it to contemporary New York.

New York City has been a cornerstone of the global theatre industry for almost a century, with some of the biggest names in the business calling the city home—although because of that, it’s often easy to forget that NYC’s five boroughs are also the home to more than 200+ neighborhood theatres, companies, and festivals, featuring amazing local talent all year-round.

In an effort to shine a light on all the great local theatre happening all over the city, the Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment has partnered with Show-Score to create ALL NEW YORK’S A STAGE, the first citywide campaign to give audiences the opportunity to discover musicals and dramas, immersive and site-specific performances, staged readings, and previews that may be just around the corner from where they live or work.

All throughout October, theater lovers and cultural visitors can discover what’s playing in small venues beyond Broadway at localtheater.nyc, which is the official ALL NEW YORK’S A STAGE website. You’ll find a complete neighborhood-by-neighborhood listing of the hundreds of small theater productions and events happening throughout the five boroughs, as well as reviews and recommendations from other theatergoers and professional theater reviewers.

Consider this your personal invitation to visit localtheater.nyc and start taking advantage of a wealth of quality performances happening now all over NYC. Those performances are closer than you think!

The result is an all-immersive theatrical experience for young audiences. Call or visit website for playing schedule.

Chef Harry scores a mention in a food magazine with his signature scallops, but refuses to recreate his masterpiece for the masses. Add a business partner seeking profit, a restaurant consultant, and a waiter with dreams of his own and all goes to hell in this funny, insightful new play by Theresa Rebeck.

Insider’s Guide brooklyn A Golden Moment for Tourism in Brooklyn

Justin Kiner/Flickr

By ETHAN WOLFF

Epic river and bridge views await in Dumbo, Brooklyn—home to the restored masterpiece Jane’s Carousel.

Distinctiveness and authenticity are two of the most appealing qualities of New York City. To find both of these qualities in concentrated form, more and more visitors are looking across the East River to Brooklyn. If it were a city on its own and not a part of New York, Brooklyn would be the fourth-largest in the country (it will pass Chicago for slot number three within the next couple of years). Although it’s a quick trip by boat, car, or train from Manhattan, you’ll find Brooklyn has evolved its own unique feel, evident in its food, drink, music, theater, art, and style.

Dozens of new hotels have been added to the Brooklyn mix, joined by bigleague sports, big-time concerts, and nine restaurants impressive enough to hold 2019 Michelin stars. Over 60 performing, visual, and media arts organizations call the new Brooklyn Cultural District home, including the Brooklyn Academy of Music, the Theater for a New Audience, and BRIC Arts. Nearby is St. Ann’s Warehouse and a burgeoning waterfront hub in Dumbo. Further afield you’ll find Kings Theatre, an Art Deco palace that still sparkles from its $95 million renovation. At the end of the borough, classic destination Coney Island is still going strong, with a major new attraction in the 115 marine species that swim through the just-opened Ocean Wonders: Sharks! exhibit

at the New York Aquarium.

Brooklyn has its own world-class cultural institution, too: the Brooklyn Museum.

Just 20 minutes from Manhattan you’ll find a priceless collection waiting to surprise you with its range, from ancient Egypt to European masterpieces to a feast of decorative art. The museum’s Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art is the first public space of its kind in the U.S. You can spend hours losing yourself in the 23 American period rooms, which include one of the city’s original homes, the Jans Martense Schenck House, which has been a part of Brooklyn since 1676.

Right across the way is the expansive escape of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.

Even in the off-season, you’ll find lovely acres for strolling, and indoor conservatories that show off the diversity of aquatic, desert, tropical, and warm temperate environments.

Prospect Park is next door, designed by the same master planners that made Central Park—only they learned from their mistakes there when it came time to create the Brooklyn version. In addition to rolling hills and waterfalls, there’s a charming zoo.

New attractions and unique experiences...

@cityguideny

@cityguidenyc

Brooklyn has long been a destination for fine dining, but never more so than today. Drawing on the high standard set by pioneers like The River Café, establishments from Greenpoint to Bay Ridge are attracting ever higher numbers of travelers. Williamsburg and Fort Greene have vibrant nightlife scenes known worldwide—it’s no wonder rents in both places have begun to eclipse Manhattan’s.

If you pay a visit to Brooklyn, you’ll probably want to limit yourself to a neighborhood or two—the borough is too sprawling to take in as a whole without several days (see the next page for more on the key neighborhoods). One option is to walk the Brooklyn Bridge from lower Manhattan, which will drop you off at the cusp of Brooklyn Heights (historic houses, great views) and Dumbo (more great views, park access, and Jane’s Carousel, a restored 1922 carousel right on the water).

For a more avant-garde scene, Williamsburg is the place to go. Art galleries, music venues, and pioneering bars and restaurants proliferate here.

The area’s creative scene spills over into neighboring Greenpoint and Bushwick.

There’s great shopping in Downtown Brooklyn, which has several big retailers, not too far from showpiece new stadium Barclays Center. You can catch a world tour here, kids’ programming, or professional basketball with the Brooklyn Nets and professional hockey with the New York Islanders (they split their home games between Brooklyn and Long Island).

For smaller-scale Brooklyn, the combined neighborhoods of Boerum Hill, Cobble Hill, and Carroll Gardens (sometimes known as BoCoCa) have well-preserved vintage streets and tons of boutique shopping. Park Slope has a similar appeal, with plenty of bars, restaurants, and coffee shops when you need a quick pick-me-up.

This is a golden moment for Brooklyn tourism, the borough welcoming guests with new attractions, unique experiences, and ready accessibility. For visitors seeking out the Brooklyn version of “the real New York,” there’s never been a better time.

BY BOAT. New York Water Taxi offers regular ferry service to Brooklyn, leaving from three piers in Manhattan (42nd Street in midtown and Battery Park and the South Street Seaport downtown) and connecting to Dumbo on the Brooklyn waterfront. As a bonus, the ride from midtown features up-close views of the Statue of Liberty!

If you’re looking for more great views— and a little shopping thrown in— New York Water Taxi also runs a daily shuttle from Wall Street’s Pier 11 in Manhattan to IKEA Brooklyn in the Red Hook neighborhood.

BY SUBWAY. Extensive subway coverage connects Brooklyn with Manhattan (you can reach Brooklyn from Queens, but with much less connectivity).

Major Subway Options for Visitors: The J M Z and L lines connect to Williamsburg and Bushwick.

The B D N Q lines connect to Downtown Brooklyn, Park Slope, and Prospect Heights, ending at Coney Island.

The 2 3 and A C trains connect to Brooklyn Heights and Downtown Brooklyn. The 2 3 also provides service to the Brooklyn Museum, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and Prospect Park.

The 4 5 train provides service to Downtown Brooklyn.

The F train connects to Dumbo, Downtown Brooklyn, BoCoCa, Park Slope, and out to Coney Island.

The G train does not travel to Manhattan, but it does connect Greenpoint with Williamsburg, Downtown Brooklyn, BoCoCa, and Park Slope. (It also connects with Long Island City in Queens.)

Insider’s Guide brooklyn Key Neighborhoods in Brooklyn

Jim.henderson

Brooklyn is home to vibrant communities.

Here’s a guide to some great destination neighborhoods, each with its own character, culture, and favorite pizza parlor.

Brooklyn Borough Hall, at the center of the American success story that is Brooklyn.

Downtown Brooklyn As the name suggests, Downtown Brooklyn is the business district of the borough, home to municipal buildings (none lovelier than the 19th-century Borough Hall), offices, residences, and lots of shopping. To that end, hit Nordstrom Rack and Century 21 for deals on designer goods and Fulton Mall for outlets and other shopping. Located above Century 21 in the City Point building, Alamo Drafthouse gives you a multiplex experience with full meals and drinks at your seat, while the basement bursts with local food vendors at DeKalb Market Hall. Visit Livingston Manor for excellent craft cocktails and the plaza of MetroTech Commons for rotating art exhibitions and live music. The original outpost of Junior’s, a diner that’s home to

the “World’s Most Fabulous Cheesecake,” is nearby on Flatbush Avenue.

williamsBurg One of the borough’s best-known and most crowded areas, the waterfront portion boasts the brand-new Domino Park, luxury apartment buildings, and trendy bars and restaurants. There’s even an Apple store on busy Bedford Avenue! Check out the vintage shops lining Bedford as well (take a detour to Artists & Fleas on North 7th); you can dance a little, bowl a little at nearby Brooklyn Bowl.

You can also watch an indie film and eat a burger simultaneously at Nitehawk Cinema.

ProsPect HeigHts A spoke around the hub of Prospect Park, Prospect Heights is sandwiched between Park Slope and Crown Heights on the north end of the gigantic green space after which it’s named. If you’re checking out Prospect Park for the first time, you’ll want to enter the park through Grand Army Plaza at Flatbush Avenue, where the lovely Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Arch ushers in visitors with some pomp and circumstance. Taste Iranian barbari bread with yogurt dip at Sofreh; prosciutto-fig pizza at Amorina; Weather Up’s dependable craft cocktails; and the country’s best chocolate cake (according to Food & Wine, at least) at Little Cupcake Bakeshop.

Park sloPe Aptly named, Park Slope sits on the gradual hill to the west of Brooklyn’s Prospect Park backyard. The neighborhood is full of beautiful historical brownstones (head down Prospect Park West and you’ll see what

we mean), lots of families, and community treasures like bar/comedy club Union Hall and ever-fabulous no-reservations Italian bistro Al Di La. This restaurant is located on the main drag of the neighborhood: Fifth Avenue. Its northernmost point is Barclays Center, a massive performance space, sports arena, and transit hub, while farther south you’ll find shops like consignment haven Beacon’s Closet and the Brooklyn Superhero Supply Co. for caped crusaders-in-training. Discover new reads at Community Bookstore, omakase sushi at Sushi Katsuei, and lip-smacking Asian fusion at Talde.

BoCoCa BoCoCa is better known as three separate, neighboring areas: Boerum Hill, Cobble Hill, and Carroll Gardens. BoCoCa is bordered to the east by Park Slope, to the south by Red Hook and Gowanus, and to the north by Brooklyn Heights and Downtown Brooklyn.

With the area’s booming real estate and tourism have come a flood of new businesses.

For the best of the neighborhood, walk down Atlantic Avenue toward the water, where you’ll find fine locally made clothing at Kaight, as well as must-try “pitzas” and falafel at Bedouin Tent. You’ll find more shopping and great food on Smith Street.

Start with brunch at Cafe Luluc. Browse at Woods Grove, Modern Anthology, Article&, and Books Are Magic. Wind down the day at the tiki bar Zombie Hut. A historically Italian neighborhood, Carroll Gardens boasts Jay-Z and Beyonce’s favorite pizza at Lucali.

fixtures like the vintage Jane’s Carousel, a working carousel nearly a century old.

Brooklyn HeigHts If you’re going to walk any Brooklyn neighborhood, walk Brooklyn Heights. This coveted corner just south of the Brooklyn Bridge and north of BoCoCa inspires endless oohs and aahs with its impeccable streets full of cheery window boxes, historical homes, and shady trees. Former residents include Truman Capote (70 Willow St.) and Norman Mailer (142 Columbia Heights). Take a tour of the Brooklyn Historical Society, a small museum housed in an 1881 structure replete with a gorgeous library. You can learn about the subway and bus systems of the city at the New York Transit Museum. You’ll find the most noteworthy businesses on Montague Street, including Dellarocco’s Wood Fired Pizza. Make your way over to the Brooklyn Heights Promenade for stunning skyline views of Manhattan’s southern tip. new Jersey

DUMBo Dumbo stretches between the bases of the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges (the nabe’s acronym stands for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass). A former manufacturing area on the East River, Dumbo slowly gained traffic with the Michelin-starred restaurant with a million-dollar view: The River Café. A vibrant community has sprung up, including pizza parlors Grimaldi’s and Juliana’s. (Grimaldi’s is more popular, but many argue Juliana’s has the better pies.)

Brooklyn Bridge Park is the site of endless photo ops with the Manhattan skyline and two bridges in the background, as well as
