flavor of the month WHAT’S TRENDING ON THE FOODIE SCENE by Lois Levine

I just discovered Rocco Steakhouse (72 Madison Ave., 212.696.9660), a handsome new venue right across the street from the IN New York offices. A great find for beef lovers (lamb chops, Cajun rib eye). Señor Frog’s (11 Times Sq., 212.221.3833), the ultimate Spring Break bar for frat boys around the world, has been unleashed on Times Square! And, speaking of hangovers, Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer (529 Broome St., 917.639.3089) has started a brunch service: You’ll surely be revived from too much Saturday night partying with options like a turkey burger salad with blue cheese, a fried egg and bacon, partnered with a spicy Bloody Mary. Broken Spoke Rotis-serie, a rustic new spot in Murray HIll, offers yummy slow-roasted meats: Amish chicken, heritage-breed pork and a “beast of the week” (439 Third Ave., 212.889.6298). I recently cozied up to the bar at Ibis Mediterranean Restaurant & Lounge (151 E. 50th St., 212.753.1144), a new Midtown spot with a stunning dining room and tasty sizzling jumbo shrimp. Finally, I was thrilled to hear that County, one of my favorite farm-to-table spots (34 E. 20th St., 212.677.7771), has new winter of-ferings: egg raviolo, braised short ribs, buttermilk fried chicken. Grab a seat at one of the communal tables up front, dig in and make new friends.

footlights THEATER NEWS by Francis Lewis

Michael’s Back in Town Not that Michael Feinstein (below)—singer/pianist/revered guardian of the Great American Songbook—has ever left. He performs regularly at big venues like Jazz at Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall’s Zankel Hall. No, it’s his return to the local nightclub scene at newly renamed Feinstein’s/54 Below that has him and us excited. “I love nightclubs,” he says, barely containing his enthusiasm. “I can see the eyes of everybody in the room. The connection with a nightclub audience is like being with family.” For his debut engagement this month at Feinstein’s/54 Below, which he calls an “elegant throwback to classic supper clubs,” he plans an all-new holiday show. “I’m not a person who likes to sing the same holiday songs year in, year out. I’m always finding ways to evoke the holi-days with a fresh eye. So, you’re not likely to hear me do ‘Santa Claus Is Coming to Town.’” He says the last with a twinkle in his voice, befitting the season. For more about Michael Feinstein and the subtle tweaks he’ll be making at the club, from seating to food to performers to choice of piano, go to innewyork.com/editorsblog. | Feinstein’s/54 Below, 254 W. 54th St., 646.476.3551, Dec. 20-30

Lane’s Black Broadway (Square One Publishers, 2015) celebrates African-American performers, playwrights, song-writers, directors and choreographers.• Seth Rudetsky—Sirius XM radio host, author/star of the upcoming Broadway musical Disaster! and funny guy—knows and tells all in Seth’s Broadway Diary, Volume 2 (Dress Circle Publishing, 2015).

Prince of WalesWhen Keira Knightley and Matt Ryan (left) first embrace in Thérèse Raquin, their characters—a young woman in a loveless marriage and her seducer—combust. For Welshman Ryan, who’s acted with the Royal Shakespeare Company and with Jude Law in Hamlet, both in London and New York, the role of Laurent is an “extraordinary” journey. “The person Laurent is at the end of the play is completely different from the person we start out with,” he says. “At first, he’s charming. He knows how to work a room, and we like him. The whole thing about the play is what happens to people when they give in to their basest urges. The results can be—and are—catastrophic.” For more about Matt Ryan, go to innewyork.com/ editorsblog. | Thérèse Raquin, Studio 54, 254 W. 54th St., 212.719.1300

The Kiehl Thing At Kiehl’s Spa 1851 (the year the company was founded), you have your choice of three themed rooms in which to enjoy the various treatments offered: the Rainforest Room, the Apothecary Room and the Adventure Room, each enhanced with reclaimed tin ceilings, antique fixtures and subway tile accents. Aside from treat-ments (a hydrafacial back treatment, a men‘s refueling facial) and a separate men’s grooming area, the spa also offers a first-floor retail store selling a wide range of the company’s products. | Kiehl’s Spa 1851, 157 E. 64th St., 888.772.1851

Sleek Salon It inspires confidence to get your hair styled in

a space that is itself an example of fine style.

Among the notable details in Salon Ziba’s 4,000-

square-foot Midtown venue are floor-to-ceiling

windows, an alcove ceiling made of Venetian

plaster and silver leaf, custom-designed marble

cut and color stations, and individual USB charg-

ing ports. And, oh yes, let’s not forget the array of

services offered, too: manicures and pedicures,

cuts and color, facials and more. | Salon Ziba, 50 W. 57th St., 212.767.0577

A Spa for All Seasons Whether you are staying at The Four Seasons

Hotel on this trip to New York or not, it may be

worth your while to take advantage of its luxe spa.

The Swiss-based L. Raphael has built a reputa-

tion around the world for its noninvasive oxygen

facial treatments. The services don’t come cheap,

though. Consider the 50-minute, $1,100 Oxy Star

Anti-Pigmentation Treatment: White truffles (known

to block the production of melanin in the skin)

are dispersed beneath the skin’s surface to help

fade sun and age spots. A collagen mask is then

applied to help firm the skin, and to diminish lines

and wrinkles. | L. Raphael, Four Seasons Hotel New York, 57 E. 57th St., 212.350.6420

on exhibit FASCINATING ART DISPLAYS by Terry Trucco

Past & Present In MoMA PS1’s three previous surveys of New York artists (an exhibition started in 2000 that recurs every five years), the work of young, little-known artists were the focus of the show. But fired by nostalgia for art from the 1970s and 1980s, Greater New York embraces work by both emerging and established artists from 1976 to the present (such as Collier Schorr’s “The Painted Chair (Jordan)” (left, 2015). Nearly 400 examples by 158 artists probe provocative aesthetic connections between present and past. | MoMA PS1, 22-25 Jackson Ave., Long Island City, 718.784.2084, thru Mar. 7

Fantasy Puzzles Asked what one of his blazingly original as-semblages meant, artist H.C. Westermann (1922–1981) replied, “It puzzles me, too. How can I explain a work like that?” See America First immerses you in Westermann’s capti-vating free-spirited world, rich in complex fantasy objects. Crowned with a metal weather vent, “The Silver Queen” (above, 1960) embodies the artist’s maverick blend of surrealism, folk art, craftsmanship and humor. | Venus Over Manhattan, 980 Madison Ave., 212.980.0700, thru Dec. 19


Capturing a Continent With breathtaking beauty and diversity, Latin America was catnip to 19th-cen-tury artists as Boundless Reality: Traveler Artists’ Landscapes of Latin America from the Patricia Phelps de Cisneros Collection proves. Consider German artist Ferdinand Bellermann (1814–1889). He spent just over three years in Ven-ezuela but depicted the country for the rest of his life in paintings like “At the Sugar Mill” (above, 1868–70). | Two venues: Americas Society, 680 Park Ave., 212.249.8950; Bertha and Karl Leubsdorf Art Gallery at Hunter College, E. 68th St. & Lexington Ave., 212.772.4991, thru Jan. 23

Antique Drinks Need a chic spot to hang out on the Upper East Side? Restaurateur Daniel Boulud, who’s behind NYC favorites like Café Boulud, Boulud Sud and DBGB Kitchen & Bar, welcomes guests to an Art Deco-inspired lounge within The Surrey hotel. Cocktails are a blast from the past, with drinks like the Morning Glory Fizz (scotch, absinthe, lemon, lime, sugar, egg white, soda) coming from antique bar books like George Kappeler’s Modern American Drinks from 1895. Soak up the boozy concoc-tions with dishes from the late-night menu, including charcuterie, beef sliders, scallop ceviche, and garlic- and parmesan-dusted pommes frites. | Bar Pleiades, 20 E. 76th St., 212.772.2600

Bubbly Boîte Something’s bubbling beneath the Bourgeois Pig in Greenwich Village. Riddling Widow, a new, 20-seat speakeasy, focuses on sparkling wine. Beverage director Tanner Walle seam-lessly makes his way around the black velvet-walled room, seducing guests with vivid descriptions of the regions responsible for whatever the bottle in his hand contains. As he pours a glass of Hofgut Falkenstein spar-kling Riesling, he describes the Saar region of Germany and the impact of its mineral-rich soil on the wine. The terrain enhances the flavors and textures, which I can taste with each pour. I leave the decadent den eager to learn (and try) more. | Riddling Widow, 127 MacDougal St., 212.598.1809

The sleek new cocktail bar in the hotel lobby is modeled after a classic NYC town house, featuring a 10-seat marble bar, high tables made of stone and leather banquettes next to the fireplace. If the crackling fire doesn’t warm you up, perhaps one of the cocktails will. Choose from classics like Manhattans and Negronis or specials like the Heming-

Loco (left, Ilegal Mezcal Joven, grapefruit, lime, bitters). | The Liquor Cabinet at the Gregory

You don’t have to endure the snobby crowds and flashy atmosphere of Meatpacking District mega-clubs to find a good dance party in this city, now that the Lower East Side’s Sapphire Lounge has reopened as the Rumpus Room. The intimate nightclub invites guests to boogie without inhibitions in a stylish space with a luxe copper bar, quirky vintage wallpaper, zebra-print stools and bamboo walls.

times that followed.I thought back then, “Ev-

erything happens for a reason, so why did this have to happen to me?” What gave me strength was that perhaps the accident, and going through such a dif-ficult thing so publicly, was the sole reason for my fame. That, by example, I could show peo-ple how important love and family are, and how much power is in our hands to con-quer an insurmountable ob-stacle through dedication, per-severance and sweat. Putting these lessons learned on a Broadway stage is the prime reason we decided to do On Your Feet!

So, how did this production get off the ground?It’s been a journey. Originally, the concept for On Your Feet! was a Las Vegas show. Eventu-ally, the project showed us that it was meant to be on Broad-way. This is the right home.

The stars who play you and Emilio and embody that mes-sage: Do they become you onstage?Ana Villafañe and Josh Segarra have so much to give and bring so much honesty to their performances. We weren’t looking for our clones, but rather two artists who could in-terpret our lives through the music and the beautiful script written by Alex Dinelaris.

And here you all are, bringing your universal message of love, hope and music to Broadway.It’s significant to us that this is a New York show, because after I broke my back, New Yorkers put me back together at the Hospital for Joint Diseases [in Manhattan].

What do you and Emilio like to do when you’re here?Central Park! We like to walk along its paths, then people-watch sitting on a bench, eating soft pretzels. We love stroll-ing through SoHo and exploring its shops and cafés. Actu-ally, Emilio loves shopping anywhere in New York City. We like so many of this city’s restaurants: Nobu, Zuma, Scalina-tella and Bar Pitti, a lovely little place in the Village.

What’s next for the unstoppable Gloria Estefan?Hopefully, a vacation, which we haven’t been able to take in over three years! Thankfully, though, we’ve loved everything we’ve been doing.

NEW YORK CITY’S Great White Way has rolled out the red carpet for Gloria Estefan, the 58-year-old, Havana-born Miami megastar who taught people everywhere how to “do the conga.” Starting in the late 1970s, she and husband/pro-ducer Emilio introduced pop-inflected versions of Latin song and dance to America and the world (“Don’t Wanna Lose You,” “Words Get in the Way”). Four decades and 100 million sold records later, the Estefans have turned their mu-sic and their love story into a Broadway spectacle, On Your Feet! at the Marquis Theatre.

The Estefans’ get-up-and-dance tunes are only half the story. On Your Feet! doesn’t sugarcoat the turning point of Gloria’s life. An injury from a devastating tour bus accident in 1990 fractured her spine and threatened her life. Remark-ably, resolve and a steely will to recover triumphed. If you’re looking for inspiration for vir-tually any endeavor, here it is.

Gloria recently discussed her role behind the scenes for a change and the Estefans’ New York “musts.”

What made you decide that On Your Feet! should be a Broadway musical and not a movie?There’s nothing like a live production. At heart I am an on-stage performer, where our music forms a human bond with audiences. It’s an emotional connection that Broadway shows make as well. Audiences hope for a profound experi-ence. I know because Emilio and I love Broadway shows and go to as many as we can: We can’t get enough. With On Your Feet!, we wanted to deliver that magic that happens only in a live performance.

Anyone expecting On Your Feet! to be a biography will find so much more. What is it really about?The story we are telling is a very human one. It’s a story about love: for each other, for the music, for the United States. This country opened its arms to us Cubans and gave us the opportunity to achieve “the American Dream.”

On Your Feet! does not shy away from dramatizing the most trying episode of your life. It’s all up there onstage; in fact, it’s the dramatic crux of the musical: my terrible accident in 1990 and the challenging P

‘TIS THE SEASON TO GET FANCY!

BY JACKIE COOPERMAN

WITH THE ARRIVAL OF THE HOLIDAYS, Manhattan, always glamor-ous, gets even dressier. Fifth Avenue windows are decked out, star-shaped streetlights illuminate the avenues and the city is at its most elegant. While it’s certainly easy to take in all the wondrous sights of the city in casual clothing, there’s no better time to celebrate by getting a bit fancy.

“If you’re looking for a place where people do still love to dress up, New York is it, more than any other U.S. city,” says Thomas P. Farley, a Man-hattan-based etiquette expert, who lectures nationally under the moniker Mister Manners. “People care deeply about what they’re wearing, and they enjoy getting dressed up.” So, go ahead: Make a reservation at one of these fabulous venues, where you’ll feel at home in a little black dress, a suit and tie, and even, on occasion, a tuxedo and ball gown:

The Rainbow Room (30 Rockefeller Plz., 212.632.5000) has brought its original prewar glamour roaring back to Manhattan and also provides one of the city’s best views. On any given evening, the room hosts acts ranging from small jazz combos to full-scale orchestras, the Swarovski crystal chan-deliers gleam, and couples of all ages show up on the dance floor. Women often wear floor-length gowns (sometimes vintage) and men, in tribute to

At Minton‘s, you not only dine on such fine dishes as creole-braised lamb shank while listening to live jazz, you have a wonderful excuse to go out and buy yourself a hat worthy of a royal gala.

the swing era, will sometimes sport whimsical bow ties. The Rainbow Room offers two seatings on select eve-nings, and a prix fixe menu. The Sunday brunch includes a jazz band; this month, the Rainbow Room hosts a holi-day brunch buffet with live entertainment.

At Chevalier at the Baccarat Hotel (28 W. 53rd St., 212.790.8869), Michelin-starred Chef Shea Gallante runs the kitchen. Luxe and understated, the modern French dining room offers dinner à la carte, with tasting menus available upon request and arranged in advance. The res-taurant does not require jackets and ties for men, but din-ers should and do dress for the occasion, with many men in jackets and ties and women in attractive suits or dress-es. On New Year’s Eve, Chevalier offers two dinner seat-ings, with champagne toasts and savory and sweet cana-pés passed before and after dinner.

Le Bernardin (155 W. 51st St., 212.554.1515), Chef Eric Ripert’s paradise for pescatarians, requires jackets—but not ties—for men in the formal dining room, which was redesigned by Bentel and Bentel and reopened in 2011. “With our redesign, we wanted to provide a luxuri-ous experience for our guests, with great energy that re-

flects New York City,” says Chef Ripert. “We see that our guests always dress for the occasion anyway, be they reg-ulars or first timers. It really adds to the ambience we wanted to create.” In the more casual lounge, jackets are recommended but not required. For the holidays, the res-taurant is serving a special menu focused on truffles, making the menu as dressed up as the patrons.

Reopened in 2013 by ex-Time Warner CEO Richard Parsons and Chef Alexander Smalls, Minton’s (206 W. 118th St., 212.243.2222) has returned to its roots as a hub for Harlem jazz. Drawing a dressy and festive crowd, Minton’s has been refashioned as a jazz supper club, serv-ing upscale Southern food during its two live sets Wednes-day to Sunday evenings, and at a jazz brunch on Sundays. “Although we don’t strictly enforce a dress code, most people wouldn’t be caught dead walking into the club in sneakers, a T-shirt and jeans,” says Smalls. “People tend to get dressed up: They are going to not only enjoy a meal, but also experience sophisticated entertainment.” Sunday brunches offer live jazz and Southern favorites like fried chicken and biscuits.

The plush and legendary ‘21’ Club (21 W. 52nd St.,

212.582.72000), whose barroom ceiling is hung with some 700 toys (including Willie Mays’ baseball bat and a replica of Air Force One from President Clinton), has re-laxed a little—requiring jackets but not ties for men—but still personifies dressy. During a recent lunch, a small wedding party dined, resplendently, with oysters and champagne. “In a tradition that dates back to when ‘21’ opened on New Year’s Eve of 1929, this is an establish-ment that celebrates the notion of dressing for dinner,” explains General Manager Teddy Suric. This month, ‘21’ holds its annual Salvation Army Band charity holiday lunches and dinners, with special menus.

Opera lovers adore theatricality, and the same is true of their dress at the Metropolitan Opera House (30 Lin-coln Center Plz., 212.362.6000). From ball gowns to ki-monos to ascots, anything goes, as long as it’s worn with flair. Expect to see jeweled brooches, tiaras, pinstriped suits, satin, lace and stilettos. This month, the bedecked crowds can see Puccini’s La Bohème. The Met’s also stag-ing an English-language, abridged The Barber of Seville, suitable for children, starting Dec. 16.

Nothing suggests the magic of holidays in Manhattan

like New York City Ballet’s performance of The Nut-cracker (David H. Koch Theater, 20 Lincoln Center Plz., 212.496.0600). George Balanchine’s staging of Tchaik-ovsky’s vibrant score has been drawing little girls in Mary Janes and velvet dresses since 1954. With 90 dancers, 62 musicians, 125 children in alternating casts from the School of American Ballet and a 40-foot Christmas tree, The Nutcracker is a true spectacle. For balletomanes wanting more pageantry, the Nutcracker Family Benefit fund-raiser on Dec. 12 includes a matinee performance and a holiday party on the Promenade, during which dancers sign autographs and take photos with guests.

The Django at the Roxy Hotel (2 Sixth Ave., 212.519.6600) is a new jazz club that draws a sophisti-cated downtown crowd. “The Django is the kind of place where people—from couples on date nights to hardcore jazz aficionados, like to dress up,” says Tony Fant of GrandLife Hotels, which owns the Roxy. The club has tables for two and intimate banquette seating. The de-signers looked to Jazz Age Paris for inspiration, illumi-nating the vaulted ceiling with vintage lighting fixtures. In December, plush and luxurious: It’s the only way to go.

Everyone knows that New York City is a magical place to be around the holidays, but if you’re looking for a December tradition that’s a bit more under-the-radar, take a trip deep into Brooklyn to the traditionally Italian neighborhoods of Dyker Heights and Bay Ridge. The jaw-dropping spectacle of the Christmas lights in Dyker Heights should be on the itinerary of anyone who visits New York in December, and it’s a mere 10 blocks or so to Bay Ridge, a friendly, working-class area with great food and shopping.

FOR MORE ON THE BOROUGHS, GO TO INNEWYORK.COM/BOROUGHBEAT

EAT Fashions might have changed since Saturday Night Fever was set in Bay Ridge in the 1970s, but this melting-pot community still feels old school. True to its original Italian-Amer-ican roots, Bay Ridge offers plenty of red-sauce joints where you can get baked ziti and killer cannoli, but it’s also home to the highly touted Middle Eastern restaurant, Tanoreen (tanor een.com). Don’t miss the eggplant Na-polean, the fried Brussels sprouts with tahini or the knafeh dessert. Brooklyn Beet Company (korzorestaurant .com) brings a farm-to-table sensibility to Eastern European fare—the fried grass-fed cheeseburger with house-made beet ketchup is a must-try. Looking for a laid-back, SoCal vibe? Chow down on some West Coast-style Mexican food at Ho’ Brah Taco Joint (hobrahtacos.com). Ho’ Brah’s sister beer garden, The Lock Yard (lockyard .com), has an impressive craft brew list and serves organic bratwursts, sweet potato tater tots and other elevated pub fare. Robicelli’s Bakery (robicel lis.com) boasts confections like nutella lasagna and Brooklyn blackout layer cake, and Cream Coffee & Tea Shop (creamcts.com) has Stumptown coffee, doughnuts and macarons.

SHOP You can find something for everyone on your holiday shopping list, and for a steal, at the gigantic Bay Ridge outpost of Century 21 (c21stores .com). It’s definitely less crowded than the Manhattan locations, but for a more intimate option, visitors might want to venture to Lola’s Boutique (lolasboutiquenyc.com) for on-trend women’s clothing and accessories or The Bookmark Shoppe (bookmarkshoppe.com) for—you guessed it—books.

by

DRINK The hipsterfication running rampant through more northern parts of the borough has started bleeding into Bay Ridge. Case in point is the cool but totally unpretentious Owl’s Head wine bar (theowlshead.com), which is a great place for a bite and a glass of wine (poetry readings and live jazz also offered on select nights). Take note of the awesome bar top, handcrafted and rough-hewn from a single maple tree.
