Kristall, Head Concierge at Fouquet’s New York

Q: Why do you refer your guests to The Welcome Guide®, and what makes it an important resource for you?

A: If you are looking to get up-to-date on the most recent events or start to introduce yourself to what is accessible in New York City, The Welcome Guide® is key. From the best hotels in the city (like Fouquet’s New York!) and restaurants and everything in between, the Welcome Guide® has what you are looking for to help manage your trip and see what is new in the city that never sleeps.

Q.What are your best tips for exploring NYC like a local?

A: Live like a local, and play like a Parisian at Fouquet’s New York. Conveniently located in the heart of Tribeca, you get the best of both worlds—access to the city’s quaint and residential cobblestone streets and the chance to explore the city’s most vibrant neighborhoods for shopping and dining - SoHo and the West Village Start your mornings with views of the Hudson down the West Side Highway, grab a coffee at Laughing Man, then head down Spring and Broadway to find a curation of the city’s most coveted boutiques like ESSX NYC and ElyseWalker. Pro tip: locals best prefer to spend evenings at a hotel bar, so be sure to add a few to your itinerary and rub shoulders with the city’s finest.

Q.What should be on every visitor’s “bucket list” when visiting?

A: There is nothing that screams experiencing New York glamor than a Broadway Show. At Fouquet’s New York, you can dress to the nines and dine at our Brasserie Fouquet’s—an homage to our sister property in Paris, where for over 250 years, the world’s most famous have dined. Then, take a town car down the West Side Highway and in just 20 minutes, you’ll find yourself in the theater district, stepping into one of the most coveted playhouses to enjoy a performance by some of the world’s most talented actors.

Around the World

By Melanie Lee

Fans across the globe are familiar with the voice of one of our generation's most beloved songstresses, Lea Salonga. Debuting to American audiences everywhere as the singing voice of Princess Jasmine in the animated classic, Aladdin, Salonga had already made a huge name for herself in the Philippines and on stage as Miss Saigon. Now, she makes her return to NYC with her national tour, one night only, on October 20, 2025. Don't miss the chance to see her live on stage singing her greatest hits and so much more!

With such a wide range of hits across her catalog, onewould imagine narrowing downasetlistwouldbe rather complicated, but Salonga is a professional who knows heraudience."It actually gets easier the more I do concerts because usually, the first concert isout of the gate; say,whenI'mstarting my career, folks expect that a lot of the hits have to be there.But withsomething likeSTAGE, SCREEN & EVERYTHINGIN BETWEEN, because it's at this point, the umpteenth concert, folks arelike, okay, so we've, we've heard her sing her hitsmultipletimes. So,Ihave a little freedomtocurateaset listwith some different things. We will includesome familiar stuff becauseyou can't reallynot do any of that!”

“This is a concert that we have done intheUKand Manila,butithasn'tbeen donehere in the U.S., soit's going to feel new for folks here, and it'll befun to bringitherefinally."

As a seasoned performer for both stage and screen (hence the aptlytitledupcoming tour), LeaSalongais no stranger to the stage in all its forms. Live concerts give her a different perspective and experience for both her and the audience.

"Being able to look out into the audience and havesomedirectcommunication becausewhen you'reina musical, you can't because there's this fourth wall, and you'rea character, andlike there's thisinvisible pane of glass that the performer can't cross. Wehaveto remain incharacterthroughout the wholeshow when we're doing a musical, and when we do look out attheaudience, it's not to relate directly to the audience but to get whatever we'retrying toconvey out tothem

"In a concert, you can communicatedirectlyandinteract withyour audience. You can look somebodyin the eye; everything I say is directed to theaudience,andI'm onlyfacing outhere so you can hearme better. I'm facing out here because I'm talking to you, and that'sthecool part about doing a concertversus a musical. That said, it's nice to beableto immerseyourself in a worldthatdoes not include theaudience, that only includes you and your scene partners,oracompany that's onstage."

"The thing that makes a concert fun is it's not just the music, but it's also the directinteraction andbeing able to communicate with the folks who aresitting in the seats."

The question on everyone’s mind—when will she be returningtoBroadway? "Idon'tknow. I really don't know,” she told us. “But I'm hoping that I won't be away from Broadwayfor toolong. The last musical I did prior to this (see her in Stephen Sondheim's Old Friends ran thisspring through June 29)was Here Lies Love, which was in 2023. So, the last time I was on Broadway was twoyearsago. I'm hoping if all the stars align the right way in a few years,I'll beableto comeback.

THEARTOF

Preparetoexperiencemagicnotjustwithyour eyes,butwithyourheart.JamieAllan’sAmaze is more than a spectacle of illusion; it’s an intimate and profoundly personal journey into theveryessenceofwonder.RootedinAllan’s own childhood dreams and a lifelong fascination with the art form, this groundbreaking production promises an emotional and impactful experience for every audience member. Set for its highly anticipated New York debut at New World Stages, Amaze seamlessly weaves cuttingedgetechnologywithtime-honoredconjuring, creating a theatrical phenomenon that has already shattered box office records internationally. This isn’t just a show of tricks; it’s a “deeply emotional show” designed to forge a profound connection to the art of magicitself.

JOURNEY BEHIND THE MAGIC

People don’t just see the impossible happen. They feel it happen, and that’s where the real impact lies.” This approach elevates performances beyond mere deception into an emotionalencounter.

BLURRINGTHELINESOFWONDER

Central to Amaze is the emphasis on making theaudiencefeel“partofthemagic,”anactive participation that heightens the overall sense of wonder. Jamie Allan shares how this profoundinteractionisachieved:“Ineverwant people to feel like passive spectators. They’re co-creators of the experience. In Amaze, audience members have their memories, their choices,andsometimeseventheircellphones become part of the show. We blur the line betweentheperformerandthecrowd,soyou feel like the magic is happening with you, not justinfrontofyou,andyouareapartofit.

“From the moment the audience walks in, I want them to feel as though they’ve stepped into my own memory, my own imagination as a child. I grew up completely mesmerized by magic, but also by the way wonder can heal andinspire.InAmaze,everyillusionistiedtoa story from my life, whether it’s the first time I sawatrickthatleftmespeechlessortheway my parents encouraged me to dream big. When magic isn’t just about fooling the eyes, butabouttouchingtheheart,ithitsdeeper.
