10 Everything To Do NYC

SIGHT

12 Everything To Do NYC

SEEING See It All From Unique New York Perspectives

New York is a vertical city and there’s never been a better time to experience it, with five world-class observatories to choose from.

The Western Hemisphere’s highest outdoor observation deck, Edge, stands atop the city’s newest neighborhood, Hudson Yards. Step out onto the triangular deck and you’ll be 100 floors above the ground with miles of visibility in every direction. Edge will also thrill you with its glass floor, providing views of the High Line below your feet. (Extra thrills can be found with City Climb, the highest external building climb in the world, which lets you scale from the observatory to the skyscraper’s top on open-air platforms and stairs.)

Across town near Grand Central, SUMMIT One Vanderbilt takes the concept of an “observation deck” to new heights through three floors of multi-sensory interactions. At night, the art installations are transformed through a one-of-a-kind light and sound story making the attraction a beacon of energy, visible to all of New York City and beyond.

For a downtown take on altitude, look to One World Observatory. It’s the tallest building in the hemisphere, and with over 40,000 metric tons of steel and a unique concrete core, it’s the strongest building in the world. A minute’s ride will take you to the main observatory level, with 360° sights of the city and beyond.

See the Empire State Building for yourself and you’ll know immediately why the skyscraper has been named one of the Seven Left: Perched atop the tallest building in the hemisphere, One World Observatory brings breathtaking views of the city, the rivers, and New York Harbor.

Wonders of the Modern World. Recent additions have made visits here better than ever.

The Observatory Experience exhibition space is loaded with Instagram-ready displays that show visitors the building up to today.

For immersion in the Art Deco glory of Manhattan, Rockefeller Center’s Top of the Rock is your destination. There are both indoor and outdoor viewing areas here—for the latter, transparent safety-glass panels allow wholly unobstructed views of the city’s landmarks, including all of Central Park.

When you want to pose “in a moment in time” with the world’s most iconic musicians, leaders, athletes, and A-list stars, Madame Tussauds in Times Square is your destination.

In addition to being “the world’s greatest wax museum,” you can immerse yourself in adventures like the MARVEL Super Heroes 4D Film & Experience and the multi-sensory Coney Island Carnival Carnage 7D Game.

The legendary aircraft carrier that’s now the Intrepid Museum takes visitors on an interactive journey to learn about American innovation and bravery. The museum includes the Space Shuttle Pavilion, home to Enterprise, the world’s first space shuttle. Also on display on the flight deck are 28 authentically restored aircraft.

The Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island are two of the city’s most famous sites. If you want to see them first-hand, Statue City Cruises is the only way to get there. Boats depart from Battery Park City in Lower Manhattan and Liberty State Park in New Jersey, providing memorable tours through New York Harbor.

One of the city’s great pleasures is exploring its stores—and by extension, its neighborhoods. In Lower Manhattan don’t miss the soaring, cathedral-like space that defines the Oculus. The world-class collection of shops here is definitely about time—or it will be, when you peruse the selection of timepieces at Breitling, Tissot, and Longines. You’ll also find the perfect writing implement at Mont Blanc along with major players like Apple and Banana Republic.

A little ways north is the perennially chic SoHo, which retains its cult status with a focus on the cutting edge. To its east is Nolita, a small-scale neighborhood with boutiques like Love Adorned, with jewelry and home goods, and Supreme, known for its collaborations with musicians and designers.

Upmarket shoppers flock to the Meatpacking District, where women’s fashion can be found at Alice + Olivia, perfume at Bond No 9, and boutique picks at Marni Meatpacking Market.

Just uptown from there is one of the city’s newest destinations, Hudson Yards. Beyond the Edge features gifts and collectibles; Carmen Sol uses eco-conscious “jelly” material in its shoes, bags, and jewelry.

Right off Central Park you’ll find The Shops at Columbus Circle, where MAC, Moleskine, and Michael Kors beckon, while newer outposts like Lululemon and CAMP offer ways to work out or work in time for creativity.

Fifth and Madison Avenues can’t be missed (they’re classics, after all). Head to the former, arguably New York’s most famous street, for a who’s who of designer fashion. From Bulgari to Cartier, Tiffany to Gucci, the storied street never goes out of fashion—much like

38 Everything To Do NYC

Of the fall/winter season’s new musicals, two are not-to-be-missed standouts, How to Dance in Ohio and Harmony. The former, based on the Peabody Award-winning documentary of the same name by Alexandra Shiva, offers a groundbreaking and inspirational look at a group of autistic young adults as they face a turning point in their lives: their first formal dance. Deftly brought to the Broadway stage by director Sammi Cannold and choreographer Above: the ensemble cast of How to Dance in Ohio. Photo by Curtis Brown.

Mayte Natalio, and featuring a score by Rebekah Greer Melocik (book and lyrics) and Jacob Yandura (music), How to Dance in Ohio explores how seven individuals on the spectrum—both on stage and in real life—learn to turn trepidation into joy as they embrace their own diversity on the dance floor. Notably, the cast is made up of the same autistic actors who originated their roles in the show’s acclaimed world premiere at Syracuse Stage in 2022. Funny, heartfelt, and endlessly uplifting.

“Wicked is still basking in the glow of its 20 wildly ‘Popular’ years Defying Gravity at the Gershwin Theatre.”

Continued from p. 39 Stunning in scope and significance, Harmony marks the Barry Manilow-Bruce Sussman labor of love that burst onto the Broadway scene this past fall with an opening night audience teeming with celebs like Tracie Bennett, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Sutton Foster, Randy Rainbow, Skylar Astin, Marilu Henner, and Tovah Feldshuh.

Since then, thousands of theatregoers have experienced this remarkable musical centering on the Comedic Harmonists, an internationally acclaimed group of six guys who melded killer vocalizations with hilarious antics during the 1920s and ‘30s. The sextet’s trajectory to superstardom was launched in Berlin alongside the rise of fascism, affording Manilow and Sussman a compelling theatrical-political canvas on which to paint their unforgettable storyline showcasing actual people and events.

Meanwhile, newcomers are making headlines over at A Beautiful Noise, The Neil Diamond Musical, the red-hot musical bio that celebrated its first anniversary on Broadway on December 1st. Making her debut as a Broadway principal is rising star Amber

Ardolino (Moulin Rouge, Hamilton, Funny Girl, Back to the Future) who took over the role of Marcia Murphey opposite another recent arrival, American Idol winner Nick Fradiani who plays Neil – Then. Rocking the house on a nightly basis, Fradiani and a stellar company of Broadway veterans dazzle audiences with Mr. Diamond’s timeless chart toppers from “Kentucky Woman” and “September Morn” to “America” and, of course, “Sweet Caroline”.

LONG-RUNNING MUST-SEES Speaking of anniversaries, Wicked is still basking in the glow of its 20 wildly “Popular” years Defying Gravity at the Gershwin Theatre.

A prequel to L. Frank Baum’s Wonderful Wizard of Oz, adapted from Gregory Maguire’s novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, the show has earned ultra-cult status, not only for repeat visits by dedicated fans, but because it’s currently the fourth longest-running production in Broadway history. Dazzling sets, costumes, production numbers, and first-rate performers

bring this Ozian sensation of a show into fantastical focus as it follows a couple of college-age witches—Elphaba (Alyssa Fox) and Glinda (McKenzie Kurtz). “It’s incredible to see how this show impacts so many peoples’ lives across the globe,” said Kurtz in a recent interview. “It’s truly a magical experience.”

If mega-laughs are high on your list, head to the Tony-winning musical The Book of Mormon, ASAP—no dawdling! With a dozen-plus years under its belt, this perfect Broadway mashup of irreverence and hilarity is everything you could hope (and pray!) for from manic masterminds Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the twosome behind all things South Park. From its iconic doorbell opening to its grand finale, this fish-out-of-water/ mismatched buddy show transports a couple of idealistic young Mormon missionaries— Elder Price (Kevin Clay) and Elder Cunningham (Cody Jamison Strand)—to a godforsaken Ugandan village, where jaded locals welcome them with deliciously unfiltered panache.

A personal favorite, I’ve found The Book of Mormon to be a show well worth first, second, third, and beyond visits!

BROADWAY: GATEWAY TO WONDEROUS WORLDS The Potterverse, a.k.a. all things Harry Potter, isn’t just a Platform 9 ¾ or Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry thing anymore, it’s a worldwide phenom with a spectacular New York outpost in Broadway’s Lyric Theatre.

Here Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is casting its spell—rather, multiple spells—over theatregoers, just as it has been since its debut in 2018, the same year it picked up a Best Play Tony Award. And even if you haven’t read the books and/or binge watched all the films leading up to this stunning sequel, know that there’s a primer, both online and in the program, designed to usher you into the show’s magical loop.

The play itself hinges on Harry’s youngest son, Albus (Joel Meyers), and his BFF, Draco Malfoy’s quirky son Scorpius (Erik Christopher Peterson). The two meet as first-years-to-be on the Hogwarts Express and go on to wreak Time-turner havoc that impacts, well time… past, present, and future. Enticed into their antics are both familiar and new characters, as well as a staggering array of mind-bending special effects. No spoiler alerts here, just

44 Everything To Do NYC

a heads up to one extraordinary, theatrical thrill-ride.

As for redefining animated classics for the musical stage, Disney has the genre well-represented with the dynamic duo of Aladdin and The Lion King.

Aladdin, with its technicolor backdrops and costumes, tantalizes audiences with a tale that goes back centuries, only here it comes with myriad twists and turns, not to mention a few cool anachronistic Easter eggs. The title hero is played by Michael Maliakel, who falls hard for the beautiful Princess Jasmine (Sonya Balsara).

Out to thwart their potential happiness is the evil Jafar (Dennis Stowe), aided by his sycophantish sidekick Iago (Don Darryl Rivera).

Fortunately, Aladdin has Genie in his corner, and as played by Michael James Scott, the sky’s the limit—especially when it comes to a magic carpet air space. As Genie, Scott takes stamina to the rafters in the show-stopping number “Friend Like Me”.

With over a quarter of century to its credit, The Lion King’s reign is legendary. It’s a show that draws you in from the opening notes and takes you on a coming-of-age adventure filled with joy and excitement, darkness and light. Countless children can call it their first Broadway show, but like with anything Disney, it defies generations. The “Circle of Life” introduces the inhabitants of the Pridelands—stilted giraffes, silken lionesses, fluttering birds, and up to and including a massive elephant that lumbers onto the stage.

Humans and puppets personify the beauty of this imaginary landscape…as haunting as it is lovely. The pivotal character here is Simba who grows from cub to king (Vincent Jamal Hooper), threatened always by his power-seeking Uncle Scar (Stephen Carlile). There’s so much to love and learn from in The Lion King. No wonder it holds six Tony Awards, including Best Musical; a Grammy for Best Musical Show Album; and a legacy of memories.

SPOTLIGHT OFF-BROADWAY Blue Man Group. Around for decades, and yet the deadpan antics of the cobalt threesome (ostensibly alien), never get old, they just evolve—in a technological sense. Mostly. Still, the classic bits, paint drumming, e.g., remain giddily intact. Overall, a messy, funny, family-friendly, wild ride of a show that will leave you anything but…blue?! (blueman.com)
