The year 1910 was a watershed for the arts. Mark Twain and Leo Tolstoy died. “The Firebird,” Igor Stravinsky’s first composition for ballet, premiered in Paris. The world, too, was in transition; in four years, it would be consumed by war. What had been solid and sure was fractured and uncertain. Abstraction, the new language of the visual arts, spread across Europe and the United States. A major exhibition, containing 400 works, including Italian Futurist Gino Severini’s “Mare= Ballerina (Sea=Dancer)” (right, 1913), surveys art’s radical transformation. » Inventing

Unstoppable Here’s a sobering thought: Sierra Boggess (left, with co-star Hugh Panaro)—the actress chosen to star as leading lady Christine Daaé in the gala performance on Jan. 26 celebrating The Phantom of the Opera’s 25th anniversary on Broadway—was only 5 years old on Jan. 26, 1988, the night Phantom opened at the Majestic Theatre and began its record-breaking New York run. But then, every fact connected with composer Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical juggernaut is either sobering or mind-boggling or both, including this: Phantom is the longest-running show in Broadway history, having given 10,335 performances (as of Dec. 2, 2012) and having been seen by more than 15 million people. To put the achievement in perspective, Broadway’s second-longest-running show is Cats, also by Lloyd Webber; Cats’ nine lives came to an end in September 2000 after (just) 18 years and (only) 7,485 performances. » The Phantom of the Opera, Majestic Theatre, 247 W. 44th St., 212.239.6200

To say that Ari Brand (below, left, with Mark Nelson) was born to play the lead role in My Name Is Asher Lev, Aaron Posner’s dramatic adaptation of Chaim Potok’s 1972 novel now Off-Broadway, is no exaggeration. Both Brand and Asher are Jewish New Yorkers and artists (the fictional Asher paints, the real-life Brand jams in an indie surf rock band when he’s not acting). But unlike his character, Brand grew up in Manhattan’s liberal Greenwich Village, not a conservative, traditionbound Hasidic community in Brooklyn, where painting, especially nudes and scenes from the life of Christ, is anathema. To understand this aspect of the conflicted Asher Lev, Brand was given an extensive, eye-opening tour of Hasidic Williamsburg. » My Name Is Asher Lev, Westside Theatre Upstairs, 407 W. 43rd St., 212.239.6200

At Barraca (below), the lively West Village Iberian outpost where Chef Jesús Nuñez helms the kitchen, the sepia a la plancha (grilled cuttlefish) can be habit forming. Sweet and crunchy, with subtle smokiness, the tentacled mollusks are simply prepared with preserved lemon, kale and roasted peppers, and when you’ve cleaned your plate, you may crave another serving. Paella comes in six versions, including negra—with artichoke, monkfish, squid and shrimp over squid-ink-infused rice. Safron-infused sangría complements the cuisine, and chocolate flatbread is a sweet ending. » Barraca, 81 Greenwich Ave., 212.462.0080

Black Pearls In a second-floor jewel box of a restaurant with handpainted murals and Murano glass chandeliers, the elite meet to sip champagne and eat tiny, glistening beads of beluga, osetra and sevruga. This is Caviar Russe, devoted to one of the most decadent of all foodstuffs—sturgeon roe. The highest quality American and Caspian Sea caviar is served by the mother-ofpearl spoonful, in a beggar’s purse or over ice, with the traditional accompaniments of housemade blinis, toast points, poached potatoes, crème fraîche and chives. It’s also offered in exquisitely prepared and presented dishes on Executive Chef Christopher Agnew’s indulgent seven-course tasting menu, as well as his three-course Sunday brunch. For those who can’t get enough of the briny stuff, hand-packed tins are available in the on-premises boutique. » Caviar Russe, 538 Madison Ave., 212.980.5908

Caviar served by the mother-of-pearl spoonful … paella with squid-ink-infused rice … crispy pig tails with soy, lime and cilantro …

Placing equal emphasis on fine food and good libations, Raymi’s Chef Erik Ramirez has beefed up (rather, porked up) the Happy Hour offerings on Tuesday nights, when a Pigs ’n’ Tails menu is served until closing. Among the porcine finger foods are crispy ears with spicy mayo; crispy tails with soy, lime and cilantro; and feet croquetas with sweet plaintains, Gruyère and salsa criolla. Four small pan con chicharron sliders (left), mini mounds of succulunt roast pork with sweet potato, spicy mayo and salsa criolla, are washed down with pisco sours. » Raymi Peruvian Kitchen & Pisco Bar, 43 W. 24th St., 212.929.1200

a Smashing

Hit

EvEn aftEr a long day of rehearsing, learning new choreography and attending costume fittings for the new york City-based hit tv show Smash (nBC, 2012-present), Megan Hilty is positively effervescent. “Hi-i-yyyy!” she practically sings into the telephone. the weekly musical drama series—Season 1 is available on dvd Jan. 8, Season 2 launches with a two-hour episode feb. 5—supplies a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Bombshell, a fictional Broadway musical about Marilyn Monroe. Hilty plays Ivy lynn, a conniving chorus girl who aspires to leading lady; the theater district itself has a supporting role. In fact, it’s not unusual to spot a location shoot anywhere in the city. “to be able to do a tv show about my world? It still seems too good to be true,” says the Upper West Sider, a lifelong fan of musical theater. Plus, her role is juicy. “She’s a fascinating, multidimensional character with deep, deep flaws, which is so great to play. Because who wants be the good girl all the time?” she laughs. “With Ivy, you never know what she’s going to do or say, and that’s what makes her interesting. I know a lot of people like her, who feel threatened by others’ success and will do just about anything to win.” alas, Hilty can only tease about what’s in store for Ivy, whom we last saw contemplating taking her own life by overdosing on pills. “I’m here to tell you that she’s alive and trying to make changes in her life, personally and professionally,” assures Hilty. In its depiction of backstage backstabbing, the show does sometimes exaggerate, she admits. “for the most part, we try to stay as authentic and as true as we can, but at the same time we’re not doing a reality show. We have to amp it up for the drama. like, in no universe would it be oK for Ivy to leave a Broadway show in her costume,” she says, referring to a memorable scene in which Ivy storms out of the theater in mid-meltdown. “But it would have made the scene so boring if I was just in a sweater instead of an angel costume, prancing around times Square.”

Born on Mar. 29, 1981, in Bellevue, Wa., the youngest of three children, she always knew what she wanted to be when she grew up. “I did youth theater, community theater, anything I could get my hands on.” Her big break came in 2005, right after graduating from Carnegie Mellon University’s prestigious drama program, when an eight-minute audition led to a role on Broadway in Wicked, first as a standby, then as a principal in the role of glinda, the good witch. “It was exciting … and terrifying,” she confesses. for her second bow on Broadway, 9 to 5 (2009), she earned a drama desk award nomination for outstanding actress in a Musical. now ubiquitous in musical theater circles, Hilty recently picked up some high-profile bookings: She sang “the Most Wonderful time of the year” at the unveiling of lord & taylor’s holiday windows; had a fivenight cabaret engagement at 54 Below; participated in a new year’s Eve concert, One Singular Sensation: Celebrating Marvin Hamlisch, with the new york Philharmonic (PBS, dec. 2012); and lifted her voice in the annual Christmas in Washington concert at the White House (tnt, dec. 2012). What’s next? “let Me Be your Star,” her Smash duet with co-star Katharine McPhee, is nominated for a grammy award (feb. 10), and in March, her debut album is set for release and she joins the new york Pops in a concert, Come Fly With Me: The Songs of Sammy Cahn, at Carnegie Hall. of course, with visibility comes fans who call out to her on the streets of Manhattan or approach her while she’s playing with her Jack russell terriers, Harley and gracie, in Central Park. “you know what? I like talking to people about the show and stuff,” she insists. “I’m not one of those people who go, ‘oooh, it’s so awful to get all this attention!’ It’s great. I love it. I mean, that’s why we’re in this business—to create something that gets people to think and to talk. So, whether you love my character or hate her, I’m totally game to sit down and talk to you, no matter where we are. that means you’re interested in the show.”

to see nature as it appeared before the factories were built.” Despite the emotional motive, stylistic verisimilitude was so prized that artist Rosa Bonheur (1822-1899) studied anatomy by visiting slaughterhouses and performing dissections of animals at the National Veterinary Institute in Paris, before painting pastoral landscapes populated by cows, sheep and other domesticated creatures. Credit Queen Victoria, a consummate animal lover, with popularizing dog painting, another fashionable 19th-century genre—she commissioned realistic portraits of her 60-plus purebred collies, Cavalier King Charles spaniels and other dogs. The William Secord Gallery (52 E. 76th St., 212.249.0075), a specialist in canine-themed canvases, even subdivides this rich category further. One type of painting depicted sporting dogs and hounds in action, displaying their working abilities—and often the trophy hares or birds they retrieved. The second celebrated the 19th-century development of the purebred dog, illustrating the fine points of a breed. Collectors today generally select dog portraits by breed, with some species more popular than

ne fine day 40,000 years ago, if radiocarbon dating is correct, a nameless Neanderthal took a break from hunting and gathering, ducked into a cave, mixed up a batch of pigments and began to paint likenesses of animals that roamed the region. Creatures have inspired artists ever since. They can be symbols of salient qualities or virtues, stand-ins for humans in allegorical or fantastical works or simply subjects for showing off an artist’s prowess, be it brandishing a tiger’s musculature or baring a bloodhound’s soul. Visiting New York’s rich array of dealers and galleries, many of whom double as visual menageries, is like taking a crash course in the history, variety and meanings of animal imagery in art and antiques. Though it’s never been out of favor, animal art enjoyed a heyday in the mid-19th century, when demand boomed for realistic paintings of beasts both wild and domestic in rural settings by academic artists, such as John Frederick Herring Jr. (1820-1907) and Julien Dupré (1851-1910). Fueling the craze was nostalgia for a vanishing way of life on the part of collectors uprooted to cities during the Industrial Revolution, says Howard L. Rehs, director of Rehs Galleries (5 E. 57th St., 212.355.5710), which specializes in these Victorian artists. “They wanted IN New YORK | january 2013 | innewyork.com

others. “A fantastic painting of a German shepherd by a great artist will cost a lot less than one of a Cavalier King Charles spaniel by the same artist,” says Gallery Director William Secord. A third category was pet portraiture, a more casual, albeit royally sanctioned, rendering of a beloved in a domestic setting. Lest you think the practice died out with the sentimental Victorians, the gallery also represents contemporary artists who specialize in man’s best friend, such as Christine Merrill, who painted Oprah Winfrey’s golden retrievers, and ceramicist Debra Lampert-Rudman.

ometimes artists turn to animals to show off, or even preserve, their craft. When traditional weaponry was banned as Japan modernized during the Meiji Era (1868-1912), out-of-work arms makers put down their swords (literally) and turned to fashioning small, intricately made decorative sculptures from such metals as gold, silver and shakudo, a gold and copper alloy. Popular subjects for these witty ornaments, called okimono, included bears, boar, insects and Shishi, the stylized Buddhist lion believed to repel evil spirits. Okimono are on view at Flying Cranes Antiques (The Manhattan Art & Antiques Center, 1050 Second Ave., Galleries 55, 56 & 58, 212. 223.4600), a specialist in Japanese Meiji-period antiques, as are netsuke, tiny, hand-carved ivory renderings of animals,

such as tigers, bulls, cockerels, quail and Shishi, originally worn as decorative toggles on kimono. Creating decorative animals, albeit on a grand scale, was a lucrative sideline for French-born American sculptor Gaston Lachaise (1882-1935). While best known for redefining the female nude with curvaceous, larger-than-life renderings Above: “Lion Before Storm II—Sitting Profile, Masai Mara” at Hasted Kraeutler celebrates African wildlife.

signers a chance to fortify a decorative object with added significance (as well as show off their skill in depicting scales, feathers or fur in precious metal or gemstones). As symbols of fertility and reincarnation, with a dash of phallic connotation, snakes often appear on Art Nouveau brooches, bracelets and necklaces, their spaghetti-shaped bodies ideal for imparting the style’s whiplash curves that grew popular as jewelry design broke free from Victorian constraints. The influential silver designer William Spratling (1900-1967), who worked out of Taxco, Mexico, imbued many of his pieces with stylized creatures rich in pre-Columbian cultural meaning, such as a large silver butterfly brooch from the 1940s, in which butterflies represent transformation.

merican 19th-century animal-shaped weather vanes imparted symbolism of a more functional kind: They announced the purpose of the building they crowned. Silhouettes of horses, the most common shape, signaled crop farms. Cow-shaped weather vanes stood atop dairy farms. Sheep safely grazed above sheep farms and New England woolen mills. And roosters roosted over churches, a reference to the biblical cock that crowed three times when Peter denied Jesus. “The symbolism goes back to the Middle Ages,” says Patrick Bell, co-owner of Olde Hope Antiques, a Left: Feline faces in “Cat Collage” by Mercedes Kelly at Fountain Gallery.

inspired by his wife, Isabel, Lachaise received frequent creature commissions. Soaring seagulls, leaping dolphins and peacocks were among his favorite subjects: “He liked elegant animals,” says Alice Levi Duncan, director of the Gerald Peters Gallery (24 E. 78th St., 212.628.9760), which has a towering bronze “Peacock” (1920, cast 2002) at the Winter Antiques Show (Park Avenue Armory, Park Ave., at E. 67th St., Jan. 25-Feb. 13). Despite its sweeping tail and proud mien, it bears a certain resemblance to the artist’s rounded nudes. Animals often have strong symbolic meanings as well. In the traditional lore and art of many cultures throughout Africa, for example, birds have traditionally represented fertility; lions, gorillas and elephants depict power; and spiders, with their steely webs, connote strength. Contemporary artists from Zimbabwe, Mali, Nigeria and other nations continue to tap into this storied history, as depicted in the symbol-enriched art on view at Hemingway African Gallery (The Manhattan Art & Antiques Center, 1050 Second Ave., Gallery 96, 212.838.3650). One colorful, beaded Ogoni armchair is adorned with decorative images of elephants, lions and eagles—meant to empower all who see them. Pieces of jewelry also make use of animal imagery, “like a little sculpture,” notes Leah Gordon, director of Leah Gordon (The Manhattan Art & Antiques Center, 1050 Second Ave., Gallery 18, 212.872.1422). As such, they offered de-

Bucks County folk art gallery that is showing two large horse weather vanes at the Winter Antiques Show, one fashioned from gold-leafed copper and zinc, the other from iron. That animals have lost none of their appeal for artists today is evident in the myriad ways they turn up in contemporary works. Dave Kinsey, an artist known for emotionally charged paintings and murals, has incorporated animals into his work for years, using them as metaphors for human traits. In “Akhal-Teke (War Horse),” a new painting on view at Joshua Liner Gallery (548 W. 28th St., 212.244.7415, thru Jan. 12), a source for contemporary art, images of tumbling steeds symbolize conflict and struggle for balance. “I like using horses in my work because of their perceived courage and importance throughout human history,” Kinsey says.

antastical creatures offer artist Nicoletta Ceccoli a means to symbolize human characteristics perceived in animals. Her hyper-detailed, fanciful, paintings and prints use superficial charm and deliberate prettiness (even her dragons and dinosaurs are cute) to juxtapose notions of sweetness and sickness, kindness and cruelty. Though immediately identifiable, the pigs, bunnies and other creatures in her work, available at AFA (54 Greene St., 212.226.7374), a specialist in animation art, display a dreamlike quality that divorces them from reality. “Her use of benign creatures is a reminder that animals are dependent upon us,” says Director Heidi Leigh. Fanciful renderings in vivid colors and bold shapes characterize most paintings with animal imagery on view at nonprofit Fountain Gallery (702 Ninth Ave., 212.262.2756), which exhibits the work of artists living with mental illness. Self-taught artist Mercedes Kelly plays with impressionistic interpretations of dogs and cats. Though artist Barry Senft visits the Central Park Zoo to sketch animals, the realistic creatures in his paintings float against colorful, Matisse cutout-like backdrops. “I love the anatomy and shape of animals, but mine are not completely realistic,” he says. Animals can also serve an artist’s agenda. In his landscape paintings, on view at Questroyal Fine Art (903 Park Ave., 212.744.3586), artist and early con-

servationist Arthur Fitzwilliam Tait (1819-1905) glorified woodland creatures, whose land was already being lost to industrial development. Photographer Nick Brandt’s stark, soulful black-and-white portraits of African wildlife, represented by Hasted Kraeutler (537 W. 24th St., 212. 627.0006), are intended to create a poetic, visual record of the continent’s rapidly thinning population of elephants, lions and giraffes. Rather than relying on a telephoto lens, Brandt gets close to his subjects in an effort to capture their personalities, “often waiting up to 35 days for a single shot,” says Joseph Kraeutler, co-director of the gallery. Brandt quit a successful career as a music video director to photograph threatened animals exclusively. A portion of the sales of his prints and photos goes to his nonprofit Big Life Foundation, which combats poaching and promotes wildlife conservation. Yet another reason creatures remain an enduring subject is, perhaps, the simplest: We humans love them. As William Secord observes, “animals provide a nurturing support for us, and that’s related in the art.” And, by buying an animal-themed artwork, a collector can take home a loving creature that need never be housebroken or fed.

uch has been made lately of the burgeoning high technology industry in New York City—how everyone, from the start-ups to the big guys like Google and Yahoo, has fallen in love with Silicon Alley, as the local dot.com industry has been dubbed. But alongside these humming digital beehives, New York’s centuries-old tradition of artisanal manufacturing continues to thrive. Craftsmen have always been a part of New York, whether individually or in small workshops and factories, says Margaret Hofer, curator of decorative arts at The New-York Historical Society. “Artisanal” may be a buzzword, but it’s just the term du jour for an activity that is as old as the city, she explains. “The artisanal trend goes along with the green, local, sustainable movement. It’s the antidote to mass production, impersonal and anonymous.” It’s small wonder that the New York skyline glitters—the city has had a long love affair with jewelers, from the deceptively humble denizens of the Diamond District (W. 47th St., btw Fifth & Sixth aves.) to grand emporia such as Tiffany & Co. (one of America’s oldest, founded 1837). And it continues to attract talent like designer Alexis Bittar (1100 Madison Ave., 212.249.3581), who deems New York essential to his creativity. “I am connected at the cellular level of my being,” he says, “totally stimulated by the city’s energy.” Bittar, who began in his twenties selling his hand-carved pieces on a SoHo street corner, is now a national name, with clients such as Cameron Diaz and Michelle Obama, lately seen wearing his stylized orchid brooch. His signature Lucite collection is inspired by European design from the 1920s and 1930s, with a touch of earlier Art Nouveau. With its glasslike properties, Lucite lends itself to translucent frosting similar to that in the pieces designed at the turn of the 20th century by René-Jules Lalique. “My jewelry is a fusion of what Lalique and [the Bakelite Company] did,” says Bittar, himself a collector of antique jewelry. To further enhance his designs, he developed a proprietary painting technique, which gives pieces a mesmerizing luminosity. Bittar still makes complicated prototypes

himself and is committed to his native Brooklyn. Except for some metalwork and findings, he says, everything is produced at his DUMBO factory, which employs 300. New York has always been known as a fashion leader, and, in fact, the manufacture of ready-to-wear clothing was the city’s dominant industry from the early 20th century through the 1950s—most of it in an area dubbed the Garment District (roughly W. 35th to W. 41st sts., btw Seventh & Ninth aves.). Although it’s more of a corporate/design center today, a hardy few manufacturers remain there, such as M&S Schmalberg (242 W. 36th St., 212.244.2090), the city’s last fabricator of handmade, fabric flowers. Founded in 1919, M&S provides elegant blossoms to such designers as Oscar de la Renta and Carolina Herrera. Its combined showroom/workshop, which also serves retail customers, is a colorful wonderland of turquoise polka-dotted daisies, velvet and silk peonies and white rosebuds. Behind this garden, thousands of iron dies and molds line factory shelves, while Warren Brand, third-generation patriarch of the family enterprise, explains how a fabric such as silk organza is treated to give it body without sacrificing softness, then die-cut into petals. Next, the petals are molded in a heated pressing machine. Skilled union workers then assemble the flowers layer by layer—forming black leather into tight buds for one couturier’s trademark camellias, for example. Finally, the blooms are hung by their stems from wires, to let the glue dry. It’s a time-consuming process, but IN New YORK | january 2013 | innewyork.com

“making everything one at a time results in a nicer product,” says Warren’s son, Adam, the marketing director. While zoning laws kept ready-to-wear manufacturers clustered in the Garment District, custom tailors could ply their skills anywhere in town. They still do. Many men “associate wearing a suit with forcing themselves into an uncomfortable garment,” sighs attorneyturned-haberdasher Michael Andrews—because they’ve never had one completely custom-made. Going the bespoke route is a collaborative, civilized experience at Michael Andrews Bespoke (2 Great Jones Alley, 212.677.1755), a clubby cross between 1960s London and today’s SoHo. A gent sits on a pinstriped chair, sips a drink from the ebony-oak bar, peruses 10,000 fabric samples and discusses likes, needs and stylistic details: Two- or three-button jacket? Straight or slanted pants pockets? Up to 50 measurements are taken, a paper pattern is cut, fittings ensue and, within eight to 12 weeks, a one-of-a-kind suit is born. An advocate of Italian-style tailoring, Andrews makes clothes that are soft, supple and slim-fitting, though, of course, he’ll stiffen the construction, if a client prefers. One thing’s for sure: Once a man has a bespoke suit, he’ll “look for occasions to wear it.” If gentlemen have their suits, ladies have their hats. Month-in-advance orders fill Susan van der Linde’s sunny showroom/studio (36 E. 57th St., 212.758.7500). The milliner, whose designs have been featured in Vogue articles and at Vanity Fair parties, begins by evaluating each client’s coloring, head size and facial structure—“The hat’s proportions must be right,” van der Linde explains—and discussing colors, trimming and fabric, from rich felt to wispy straw. Then comes cutting, stitching, wetting, ironing and (most important) hand-blocking: tacking the material onto a chapeau-shaped balsa block, where it rests for one to three days, vs. the hydraulic-blocked, artificial stiffen-

ing process used in mass-produced hats. Although her methods are traditional, van der Linde’s designs are decidedly contemporary. Disavowing what she deems over-the-top “hatty hats,” the milliner’s semiannual collections display a trademark modernity and lightness: A baseball cap, executed from designer scarves, is a perennial favorite. Whatever the style, one thing remains constant: “As in the past, your hat sets you apart.” Though not as renowned as the jewelry or garment trades, furniture-making is also a local tradition. Legendary 19th-century cabinetmakers Duncan Phyfe and John Henry Belter operated out of New York. In the early 1900s, Gustav Stickley, America’s leading advocate

rather than hours, “we can once again make furniture one piece at a time,” he explains. At his Brooklyn Navy Yard factory, craftsmen use time-honored techniques, such as mortiseand-tenon joinery and dovetailed drawers—never the nails, screws or glue of mass-made goods—to build armoires, platform beds, desks and other pieces in cherry or walnut woods. A specialist applies hand-rubbed oil or wax finishes. “It has to be perfect and we know what perfect is,” says Jordan. To perfectly match a dining table to a one-of-a-kind, “curly” cherry sideboard with a live-edge top, for example, Jordan used wood harvested from a single tree in a sustainably raised Pennsylvania forest. “My supplier could probably give the GPS coordinates for that tree,” he laughs. Even more exacting than building fine furniture is handcrafting concert-quality musical instruments—a profession in which the city also excels. Is not the world’s foremost pianomaker, Steinway & Sons, still tinkling the ivories in its Queens factory, as it has done since 1853? Others who occupy this rarefied corner of New York’s crafts world include GradouxMatt Rare Violins (31 E. 28th St., 212.582.7536). Hanging in the window of his storefront, above a workbench, is a rack of gleaming, honey-hued violins, violas and cellos.

It’s a painstaking process: The firm averages three to four new instruments a year. But for clients such as Joshua Bell, made-to-order is not a luxury but a necessity. “No professional would be happy with a machine-made violin,” Gradoux-Matt says. New York’s proud history in crafts is not complete without acknowledging the city’s role as the capital of American book publishing and related services. Fittingly, it’s as quiet as a library in the workrooms of FineBinding.com (42 W. 38th St., 212.252.0129), where one craftsman gently sews together signatures—folded sections of pages—from an antique book, while another burnishes the leather cover of a freshly bound tome. “Bringing torn-and-tattered treasures back to life is a joy that I share with my customers,” says proprietor Joe Landau, whose services include designing custom publications.

The Iroquois New York

Methods for Museum-Going Touring New York City’s grand bastions of art is a must for many visitors, and there are ways to make it a rich, rewarding experience, says Vanessa Torruellas, chef concierge at The Iroquois New York. To experience an up-close-and-personal look at the works at your own leisurely pace, Torruellas recommends taking advantage of offbeat hours: “The Metropolitan Museum of Art is open until 9 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. At about 5 p.m., the crowds thin as visitors head to dinner, the theater and other evening activities.” To save time midweek, pay the admission fee in advance: Like Broadway shows, many museums now let you buy tickets online. Strategize once you arrive, too; since crowds usually congregate in the ground-floor galleries, “start at the top and work your way down,” she advises. In fact, that’s the official recommended approach at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, with its famed spiraling rotunda (where gravity is on your side). To help navigate a vast permanent collection, book a guided tour—something your concierge can arrange. Finally, consider becoming a museum member. Many offer special rates for outTIPS FROM: of-towners, and membership affords you privileges: Vanessa Torruellas, Chef Concierge, The free entry, no waiting in line, gift shop discounts Iroquois New York, and exclusive previews or viewing hours for those 49 W. 44th St., 212.840.3080 blockbuster shows—perfect for planning your next visit to town.—Mackenzie Allison KEY TO SYMBOLS IN LISTINGS On the following pages, important features are indicated by these icons: $ inexpensive, $$ moderate, $$$ expensive, $$$$ luxe; 2 handicap accessible; 0 gifts; 1 child friendly; 3 food/snacks; / drinks; 9 gay/lesbian patrons; 6 dress code; 5 music; . private rooms; 7 fireplace; 8 outdoor dining; 4 New York CityPASS. when making a phone call from a landline, first dial 1, then the area code and seven-digit number.
