footlights THEATER NEWS by Francis Lewis

“Trip of Love” is a groovy kind of show: a nonstop hit parade of 25-plus 1960s classics, like Jefferson Airplane’s “White Rabbit” (below), sung—and danced—to a psychedelic turn. Far-out and out-of-sight. | “Trip of Love,” Stage 42, 422 W. 42nd St., 212.239.6200

Isn’t It Romantic? Adam Halpin and Megan McGinnis (above) fall in love eight performances a week in the Off-Broadway musi-cal ”Daddy Long Legs.” Offstage, they’ve been Mr. and Mrs. since September 2013. Does their real-life chem-istry translate onstage? Here’s what Megan thinks: “My very most favorite romantic moment in the show is a small one when I sing: ‘We think the same thoughts, we share the same dreams and when we’re laughing, I swear time stands still. At least that’s how it seems.’ And on the line ‘and when we’re laughing,’ I look at [Adam] and he smiles at me and I just MELT.” Audiences do, too. For more on this adorable couple, including Adam’s recipe for a romantic evening in NYC, go to innewyork.com/editorsblog. | “Daddy Long Legs,” Davenport Theatre, 354 W. 45th St., 212.239.6200

What He Did for Love How did L. Frank Baum’s Tin Man lose his heart? Finally, the backstory of the beloved Oz

character is told in the Off-Broadway show, “The Woodsman.” With little to no spoken dialogue, the piece uses movement and puppets to chart how the fatefully named, flesh-and-blood Nick Chopper loses first one limb, then another and yet another be-cause of his love for a vengeful witch’s slave. “This guy loses his humanity for all the right reasons,” says James Ortiz, creator, co-director, set and puppet designer/maker. “There’s no way to do that without a puppet that is larger than life.” And what a pup-pet it is. Made of lightweight metals and tubes, but still weighing approximately 30-40

pounds (the feet are especially heavy), it takes three people, including Ortiz, to operate it. As to maintenance, yes, the Tin Woodsman does need to be oiled between shows.

Hatbox Upon seeing the handwoven Panamas, leather aviation caps, wavy brim sun hats and felt der-bies (right) for men and women at the Lower East Side’s tiny Yok-koyama Hat Market, you’d never guess that founder Hirohisa Yokoyama has exactly one day of formal millinery training. He com-bines the limited instruction with an industrial engineering degree, precise handiwork and an eye for style to create hats that have earned him a cult following from celebrities like Yoko Ono and the 2008 hatmaker of the year award from The HAT Magazine. | Yokkoyama Hat Market, 116 Eldridge St., 347.513.8313

in store THE RETAIL SCENE by Joni Sweet

SoCal Watches West Coast watch brand Nixon aims to give shoppers exactly what they want at its new SoHo storefront. Dozens of men’s and women’s watches can be touched and tried on openly at the watch table, but if none fit your fancy, the team will customize a timepiece to your liking (above). Don’t miss the subtle case in the back—it contains one-of-a-kind tickers with bands made of guitar straps, leather jackets and pants from rock legends like Ozzy Os-bourne, Keith Richards and Tom Waits. | Nixon, 122 Prince St., 888.455.9200

Gentleman’s HangoutAs if the promise of stylish Neopolitan suits, topcoats, dress shirts, cozy sweat-ers and eye-catching accessories weren’t enough to lure guys into Isaia’s re-cently opened boutique store, the three-story flagship has other seductive features worth checking out. Suave touches like a 1940s pool table (below), a red-lacquer piano, a vintage Campari bar, an outdoor garden and private bal-cony make this store feel more like a posh penthouse with shoppable closets. | Isaia, 819 Madison Ave., 212.262.6798

Wealthy Roots Diamond jeweler Nirav Modi, rated by Forbes as one of India’s wealthiest people, brings his namesake jewelry brand to a recently opened flagship boutique on Madison Avenue. The ultrafeminine pieces utilize minimal metal settings to allow the fine gems to shine in all their brilliance. The canary yellow Fluire ring (above), part of a jasmine-inspired collection, is a prime example of Modi’s design method, setting briolette diamonds in 18-karat white gold. | Nirav Modi, 727 Madison Ave., 212.603.0000

THE AFTER-DARK SCENE by Joni Sweetnight spots

| FOR MORE BARS & LOUNGES, TURN TO LISTINGS BEGINNING ON P. 42.

NYC bars are no longer engulfed in haze, thanks to smoke-free campaigns in the early 2000s, but Forty Four still smolders in its own (legal) way. The swanky lounge, located on the ground level of the Royalton hotel, garnishes its Hickory Old-Fashioned (above) with an overturned glass of smoke from a hickory wood chip doming the drink, adding a complex woody flavor to the signature cocktail, made of hickory-infused Woodford Reserve bourbon, Black Dirt Apple Jack, Sortilège maple whiskey and honey water. It might just be the best way to warm up this winter. | Forty Four, 44 W. 44th St., 212.944.8844

Still Smoking

Ritzy & RosyOld New York glamour lives on at The Plaza Hotel, where you can take in this opulence at The Rose Club bar. Nestle into red velvet sofas under pinkish lighting, order a cocktail (like Raspberry Rose: Nolet’s Silver dry gin, hammam green tea, fresh juices, raspber-ries and soda water) and enjoy live jazz (every Wednesday) as the nostalgia for history’s silky splendor charms the evening. Considering you’re in the same space that hosted shows from Liza Minnelli, Bob Hope and Kay Thompson (back when it was the Persian Room nightclub), you’re about as close to the city’s storied sophistication as you can get. | The Rose Club at The Pla-za Hotel, 768 Fifth Ave., 212.759.3000

Elevated ExperienceNew York’s sleek, cosmopolitan nightlife scene is at its finest at Bar Hugo, the rooftop lounge atop Hotel Hugo in Hudson Square. Not only does it have a mes-merizing view of the Hudson River and Lower Manhattan skyscrapers, it also has cool floating light fixtures, tropical trees, an accessible balcony (even in winter) and the perfect house music to energize the loungey space. The cocktail menu doesn’t disappoint, infusing and mixing fruits, vegetables and flowers with favorite liquors (like Glenlivet whiskey and Bombay Sapphire gin) and obscure ingredients (includ-ing star anise and lavender tincture). If you’re hungry, the spacious lounge also serves light bites, like hand-cut truffle fries, crispy artichoke wedges, tuna tartare and sliders. | Bar Hugo, 525 Greenwich St., 917.409.2576

on exhibit FASCINATING ART DISPLAYS by Terry Trucco

Shades of Black Black is a word with myriad meanings, from its gradations as a color to its highly charged reality in American life. See how artists of African descent in-terpret its possibilities in “Black: Color, Material, Concept.” Consider “Black Wall Street” (above, 2008) by Noah Da-vis, who died last summer at the age of 32. He described his art as “instances where black aesthetics and modernist aesthetics collide.” | Studio Museum in Harlem, 144 W. 125th St., 212.864.4500, thru March 6

Straight Outta PittsburghTwo shows in one, “Pearlstein Today & Pearlstein, Warhol, Cantor: From Carnegie Tech to New York” pairs Philip Pearlstein’s recent masked nudes with early pieces by this realist artist, wife Dorothy Cantor and college pal Andy Warhol. “Always eccentric and charming” is Pearlstein’s take on War-hol’s nascent efforts like “Still Life” (above left, 1948) and “Kids on Swings” (above right, 1946). | Betty Cunningham Gallery, 15 Rivington St., 212.242.2772, thru March 5

Down to the EssenceThough her career was cut short by her untimely death at age 31, Paula Moder-sohn-Becker’s intense paintings exploring nature, childhood and feminine identity secured her legacy as a groundbreaking expressionist. “Paula Modersohn-Becker: Art and Life” examines these themes in paintings that drill below the surface of their subject, like “Still-Life With Yellow Bowl and Earthenware Pitcher” (above, 1906). | Galerie St. Etienne, 24 W. 57th St., 212.254.6734, thru March 12

Unsettled EmotionsExuding anxiety and ambi-guity, Claudette Schreuders’ hand-carved diminutive

figures mirror the search for an

African identity in South Africa. Like the Cape Town artist, Schreuders’ folk-art-inflected sculptures are rooted in the cultures of Europe and Africa. Look for hints of medieval church figures, Spanish portraiture and West African carving in works like “Note to Self” (right, 2015). | Jack Shain-man Gallery, 524 W. 24th St., 212.645.1701, thru Feb. 6

IN THE DRESSING ROOM where she pre-pares to go onstage for her Broadway debut in “The Color Purple,” Jennifer Hudson keeps a pocket mirror inscribed, “You sho’ is ugly!” It’s a fun gift from her niece and a line familiar to “The Color Purple” fans. Her character, Shug Avery, a little worse for drink, utters the words when she first lays eyes on Celie, the shy, downtrod-den, abused central character, whose desperate life is eventually transformed, thanks to Shug. It’s Hudson’s job to bring that allure to the role every night, and the Grammy- and Oscar-winning ac-tress has been delivering right from the start.

The day after that first night in mid-November, Hudson reveals that the crowd’s response “over-whelmed” her. “I always get energy from the audience. I didn’t get to sleep until about three in the morn-ing, because I was still high on adrenaline,” she admits.

The musical’s life-affirming story —spanning the Depression era and four decades of a family saga in rural Georgia—has a loyal following from Alice Walker’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel from 1982, through Steven Spielberg’s classic movie three years later, to the original production that premiered on Broadway 11 years ago and closed in 2008.

It might seem early for a revival, but “The Color Purple” has gone through a transformation of its own. The award-winning London theater, the Menier Chocolate Factory, stripped back the musical, making it tighter and 30 minutes lighter under John Doyle’s direction and with actress Cyn-thia Erivo as the lead. In New York, they’re joined by “Or-ange Is the New Black” actress Danielle Brooks in the role of Sofia and Hudson—marking the Broadway debut of all three women. Their distinct performances shine against the clever, minimalist set design and staging.

Like her character, Hudson started singing in church, at the age of 7, in her hometown, Chicago. Years later, she found an audience and a trajectory to stardom in the third season of “American Idol,” placing seventh in the final. Iron-ically, that year’s winner, Fantasia Barrino, later starred in “The Color Purple” on Broadway. “I was a huge fan of the show. I saw it with Fantasia as Celie,” recalls Hudson. “I saw it four times but I never thought that I would end up in the show.”

After her shock elimination from “American Idol,” Hud-son beat the competition—including Barrino—to the role of PH

Effie White in the musical movie “Dreamgirls.” There was such a ring of truth about her perfor-mance as a sidelined singer with a powerhouse voice, that, in 2007, she won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Ac-tress. In a tearful, heartfelt ac-

ceptance speech, she held up her golden prize and said, “Look what God can do!”

Currently, Hudson’s commitment to Broadway has changed her life. Along with her fiancé, David Otunga Sr., a Harvard Law School graduate turned professional wrestler, she uprooted to New York last summer so that their 6-year-old son, David Jr. and his 10-year-old cousin Trae (keeping him company) could settle in at school. The whole family is taking a bite out of the Big Apple together for a year, includ-ing Hudson’s three dogs, appropriately named Oscar, Gram-my and Dreamgirl. “The dogs love New York, the kids love it, David, everybody. We like to go to all the fancy restau-rants or sneak off to the movies,” she says, noting Midtown’s Greek seafood restaurant Ammos Estiatorio as a favorite. She finds Central Park too busy, so she heads to the Hudson River. “My favorite park is Riverside Park, next to the water. I prefer more quiet, tucked-away places. Riverside Park has everything: a playground for the kids, the dogs can run around and play, it has the woods and a bike path. We are far more active here than back home,” she says, laughing. “The boys love to go there: They walk around saying, ‘We’re New Yorkers!’”

SOMETIMES ALL IT TAKES to send you right back to childhood is one taste and more often than not, that taste comes from what’s known as “comfort food.” There is no technical description for this oft-used culinary term but it doesn’t really need one because you know them well: mac ’n’ cheese, burgers, potpies … foods that are rich, warm, filling and offer a taste of home. And no time of the year is more conducive to indulging in this kind of eating than winter. The good news is you don’t have to sacrifice ambience and service for this kind of hearty and simple fare. More and more, top NYC chefs are creating modern, sophisticated takes on traditional preparations. Here are eight upscale restaurants, where you can sample these tasty, deliciously satisfying elevated comfort foods. There may be no place like home, but these stick-to-your-ribs offerings will make you feel the love, same as if mama had cooked them.

Home



The ClocktowerJason Atherton, chef of The Clocktower (5 Madison Ave., 212.413.4300), is English, so he knows a thing or two about comfort food (all those rainy days lend them-selves to hearty tavern dinners). The Michelin-starred chef, who also runs Berners Tavern in London and nu-merous other restaurants, has put his stamp on a quintes-sentially American comfort-food dish—mac ’n’ cheese. His haute version—served as a main course—is prepared using rigatoni tossed with a cheddar cheese sauce and topped with bits of slow-cooked ox cheek, panfried wild mushrooms and Parmesan cheese shavings. The restau-rant, on the second floor of Ian Schrager’s recently opened Edition Hotel, has three intimate, clublike dining rooms, but to keep things truly cozy, try to snag a table in the one with the marble fireplace.

Rotisserie Georgette Georgette Farkas trained at Monaco’s Le Louis XV, then worked for years as the communications director for famed Chef Daniel Boulud and his stable of award-win-ning restaurants. But she always dreamed of having her own restaurant and so, in late 2013, she opened Rotis-serie Georgette (14 E. 60th St., 212.390.8060). The sig-nature dishes, prepared by co-chefs Stephanie Abrams and Francisco Blanco, are Zimmerman Farm rotisserie chickens: classic roasted half chicken cooked with herbes de Provence and served with a choice of sauce, and the truly decadent “Poule de Luxe”—a whole roasted chick-en (for two) stuffed with wild mushrooms, quinoa and herbs, and topped with seared foie gras. And the stuffed potato, a hollowed-out Idaho baked potato refilled with Gruyère-infused mashed potatoes, is a must.



The Smith MidtownIt’s hard to go wrong at The Smith Midtown (956 Second Ave., 212.644.2700), the always-jammed Midtown branch of the popular chain of American-style brasseries (The Smith Lincoln Center and The Smith East Village round out the trio). The cavernous, ceramic-tiled space is filled with a trendy crowd, and walk-ins don’t mind wait-ing for a table (cocktails and people-watching at the zinc-topped bar certainly make the time go faster). The menu has plenty of options, if you’re looking to warm up—there are braised short ribs, ricotta gnocchi and the pe-rennially popular chicken potpie, a delicious mix of free-range chicken, carrots, celery, peas and caramelized red pearl onions with a cheddar-chive biscuit crust—it’s pret-ty substantial, so don’t be shy about taking some back to your hotel room for a late-night snack.

Gramercy TavernOne of the longest-standing restaurants in Danny Meyer’s culinary empire, Gramercy Tavern (42 E. 20th St., 212.477.0777) has always had its own niche. The homey vibe—wood-beamed ceilings, colorful murals, blue-shirt-ed servers in vests—and upscale yet rustic American cui-sine focused on seasonal ingredients are hallmarks of this Flatiron District mainstay. While the dining room, with its tasting menus, is certainly worth a visit, the more ca-sual tavern section offers an à la carte menu with comfort dishes like duck meat loaf. Made like a very firm pâté, the meat is seasoned with onion, black pepper and fennel seed (among other items) and served with a mushroom and chestnut ragout—this definitely isn’t your mother’s meat loaf. Save room for desserts like the Dutch apple pie for two with sour cream and walnut streusel.

Bowery Meat Company With a name like Bowery Meat Company (9 E. 1st St., 212.460.52555), you know you’ve come to the right place to indulge in a beef-, veal- and lambcentric menu (to be fair there are nonmeat items as well). This sleek and modern Lower East Side steak house, from Restaura-teur John McDonald and Chef-partner Josh Capon (Lure Fishbar, El Toro Blanco, Ristorante Sessanta), has every-thing from filet mignon and lamb chops to feel-good items like wagyu meatballs with creamy polenta, short ribs ravioli and duck lasagna. Burger lovers will be happy to know that this classic comfort food doesn’t get short shrift—here it’s gussied up to gourmet status. The 40-day, dry-aged Diamond Creek Ranch beef patty is topped with a red onion jam, melted raclette cheese and roasted to-mato garlic aioli on a toasted brioche bun and served with hand-cut crispy fries.

Irvington The stylish restaurant on the ground floor of the W New York-Union Square hotel is all about elevated comfort food. Irvington (201 Park Ave. So., 212.677.0425) offers rotisserie-roasted meats, house-made pastas and the su-per popular flatbread pizzas. These soft, oblong-shaped, brick-oven-cooked pizzas (served on small wooden pizza paddles) might come topped with spicy merguez sausage, red onions and dollops of ricotta cheese, or perhaps with wild mushrooms, roasted garlic and Parmesan (many of the ingredients are fresh from the Union Square Green-market right across the street). Drinkwise, there are plen-ty of craft beers, as well as bottled cocktails (Negronis, Moscow Mules and other classics) that are carbonated and bottled in-house.

TelepanThe Upper West Side is home to Telepan (72 W. 69th St., 212.580.4300), the eponymously named, elegant restau-rant from Chef-owner Bill Telepan, who garnered rave

reviews (three stars from The New York Times) when he helmed the kitchen at the now-defunct JUdson Grill. Tele-pan’s leafy, residential-block location and farm-to-table philosophy make it an ideal neighborhood spot, but its proximity to both Lincoln Center (a 10-minute walk) and Central Park (down the block) ensure plenty of out-of-towners, too. On the menu, expect items like lobster Bo-lognese, roasted chicken with herb dumplings and, a dish that’s pure comfort food, meatballs. Telepan’s version uses duck meat (from the leg of the bird), rolled with a mixture that includes bread crumbs, pork fat, garlic, cream and eggs, and then oven roasted before being served over house-made canestri pasta (a macaroni-riga-toni hybrid) and topped with fresh Parmesan.

Birds & Bubbles A story about comfort food must include fried chicken. And while you can get this soul-food staple many places in this town, it won’t be as meticulously prepared as it is at Birds & Bubbles (100B Forsyth St., 646.368.9240). At this intimate spot with an industrial-chic decor, North Carolina-born owner Sarah Simmons dry-brines her Pennsylvania Dutch Country birds for up to 48 hours in a cayenne-based spice mix; they are then dipped in but-termilk, coated with flour and panfried in cast-iron skil-lets, creating a juicy inside with a perfectly crispy outside. Don’t miss the biscuits and jalapeño corn bread. “Bub-bles” refers to champagne—order a split or a bottle and toast to your delightful, decadent chow.

AFTER-DINNER

DRINKS IN TOWN

Traditional nightcaps are sweet and creamy, like a Brandy Al-exander, Stinger or Milk Punch. Or they’re bitter digestifs and lower-alcohol cordials like a nice liqueur or port. But you’ve had an epic evening out: an incredible dinner, perhaps a play or concert. You need something just a bit more elevated. For-tunately, New York provides a number of luxurious, innova-tive options with which to wind down.

Finding a great drink in Midtown used to be a chore, but no more. The upstairs bar at The Lambs Club (132 W. 44th St., 212.997.5262) carries over the old-school New York, “Mad Men” influence of Chef Geoffrey Zakarian’s restaurant through its red leather and velvet Deco-revival decor, live jazz Thursdays and its cocktails, with martinis, a Mad Man Cosmo and other classic drinks on the menu. But as a sign-off, con-sider the Normando, combining three classic nightcap ele-ments: calvados (apple brandy), sherry and Bénédictine.

“The perfect nightcap would be complex in body, flavor and intrigue, but also well-balanced, so alcohol does not con-sume the drink,” says Emily Collins, head bartender at The Bar at the Baccarat Hotel & Residences (28 W. 53rd St., 212.790.8800). The large, segmented space oozes elegance, from the elaborate crystal fixtures and ivory modernist-meets-Victoriana furnishings, to the bicep-improving Baccarat glass-ware (they’re heavy). Cocktails include updates on classics like the Sidecar (cognac, Cointreau, lemon juice) and the Mr. Pink, a Champagne cocktail that also includes vodka, Cappelletti (an Italian aperitivo), raspberry syrup, lemon juice and cham-pagne. But perhaps the best way to wind down is to wake up. The Bob & Ziggy features two Jamaican rums, Coffee Heering liqueur, Cio Ciaro Amaro, Dale DeGroff’s Pimento Aromatic Bitters and cream for a drink that sips dry but looks sweet.

In fact, coffee drinks can be an ideal digestif, with the warm-ing powers of booze blended with a caffeinated pick-me-up. On the recently revamped menu at SushiSamba (87 Seventh Ave. So., 212.691.7885), British mixologist Richard Woods specializes in seamlessly weaving unexpected ingredients into beautifully presented cocktails, including a new line of “culi-nary cocktails” incorporating various herbs and foods. At the end of your meal, try the Café Millonario: The decadent drink is made with coffee-infused Bacardi Black rum, Mozart Dark Chocolate liqueur, spice-infused maple syrup and espresso. Half of the foamy white top is coated in cocoa powder, chan-neling the famous NYC black-and-white cookies.

You’ll also find coffee featured in the Good Evening Spitfire cocktail at The Bennett (134 W. Broadway, no phone). The drink includes mezcal, cold-brewed coffee, ancho chile liqueur and coconut milk. “When I’m choosing a nightcap, I put them in two categories: something rich and a bit sweet, like some-thing with Pedro Ximénez sherry,” says The Bennett’s head

In classic movies, inviting someone up for a nightcap was code indicating the evening was about to get a lot more amorous. But a good nightcap does more than grease the wheels. It sums up the night, satisfies the

palate and ensures pleasant memories the next day in a way that another tequila shot simply won’t.



Clockwise from bottom left: Mata Hari cocktail at Louie and Chan; The Bennett interior; The GIbson Girl cocktail at Charlie Palmer at The Knick; Louie and Chan interior

bartender Meaghan Dorman, also of longtime speakeasy Raines Law Room, “or I look for something with a touch of bitterness, if I’m capping off a meal.” The Bennett takes a theatrical ap-proach to its small space, with elevated banquette seating (to watch the action at the black-marble-topped bar) and plenty of sexy underlighting.

Speaking of sexy … if the end of the evening is just the begin-ning, try an intimate spot packed with atmosphere. The Man-hattan Cricket Club (226 W. 79th St., 646.823.9252) is a bar hidden inside another bar: the Aussie-themed Burke and Wills. To get there, you walk past a bustling crowd at Burke and Willis, to an upholstered wall, push it open and go upstairs to what feels like the famously corrupt politician Boss Tweed’s private gambling den. Gilded walls, a knickknack-filled library and 19th-century gas lighting transport you to the late 1800s, but the drinks are completely up-to-date. Co-owner Tim Harris and his team are known for their elaborate martini service, with luxe garnishes like oysters, caviar and foie-gras-stuffed olives. Says Harris, “I’m looking for one last drink, a slow sipper and some-thing with a nice heavy base that feels good in the hand. I’m going to go for an Old-Fashioned or a Boulevardier every time.” The Smoked Cinnamon Old-Fashioned is equal parts boozy sip-per and sweet indulgence: smoked cinnamon tincture on top of High West Double Rye, agave nectar and bitters.

Recently opened on the fourth floor of the renovated Knicker-bocker Hotel (6 Times Square, 212.204.4983), the postmodern Charlie Palmer at The Knick feels like a hotel dream sequence from a sci-fi movie. The lounge features—a bar made entirely of marble, muted mocha and cream tones in the seating, tile floor-ing and “chainmail” drapes—create an environment somehow simultaneously futuristic and completely at home in Times Square. Martinis rule here (the Knickerbocker claims to be one of many “birthplace” venues for the drink), but set your sights on the Gibson Girl, featuring Belvedere vodka, crème de cassis, lychee and lemon juice, for an aromatic, sensual experience.

For an evening both sensual and energetic, try Louie and Chan (303 Broome St., 212.837.2816). Upstairs, it’s an Italian tratto-ria with pizzas, pastas and the like, along with well-made, spirit-forward drinks. Downstairs, it’s a whole other game, with guest DJs and dancing, even burlesque (the New Year’s Eve theme was “uninhibited Bohemia”). But the drinks are on point. Try the Mata Hari: cognac, chai-infused vermouth, pomegranate juice (an alleged aphrodisiac), lemon juice, demerara syrup and rose-buds). Or opt for the tongue-in-cheek Happy Ending (vodka, lemon juice, raspberry puree, mint and demerara syrup).

Sometimes, concluding a night of excessive food and drink with more alcohol isn’t in the cards. Sure, you could have a cof-fee, but many bars also offer well-made “mocktails”—nonalco-holic mixed drinks evolved far beyond the traditional Shirley Temple. At Louie and Chan (upstairs) you’ll find the Chinotto Cobbler (Chinotto soda—a bitter Italian cola, maraschino syrup, lime and bitters). Back at The Lambs Club, consider the Rasp-berry Bog, a blend of muddled raspberry, spiced demerara simple syrup, lemon juice, apple cider and fresh ginger. “The final goal,” Baccarat’s Emily Collins points out, “is to leave someone with a memory of a well-crafted cocktail that has been savored.”

Kate Hooker is a lawyer and writer who fled the East

Village for Brooklyn a few years ago in search of outdoor space and

fewer Starbucks.

DRINK Any first-timer to Astoria would be remiss to skip the Beer Garden at Bohemian Hall (bohemianhall .com) which, at 105, is New York City’s oldest (and most authentic) beer garden, where you can get affordable Czech beer and authentic Czech food. If your beer tastes run more indie, swing by the taproom at SingleCut Beersmiths (singlecutbeer.com), Astoria’s very own craft brewery. Oenophiles will find a robust wine list, cheese and meat plates, and occasional live mu-sic at Crescent & Vine (crescentandvine.com).

EAT Astoria has quite a reputation for its Greek cuisine, and one of the best-loved places to dig into souvlaki and a killer Greek salad is Taverna Kyclades (tavernakyclades.com). If you’re craving Dominican food, über-hip Fatty’s (fattysastoria.com) serves up an excellent Cubano sandwich and mojitos that might just trick you into thinking that you’re somewhere very far south of New York. The aptly named Queens Comfort’s menu (queenscomfort .com) features comfort food with a twist—dishes like Sriracha fried mac ’n’ cheese, cornflake chicken and waffles, and Cap’n Crunch-crusted tilapia have earned a loyal following. Finally, the ever-popular Queens Kickshaw (thequeenskickshaw .com) is a tribute to the beloved grilled cheese, offering nontraditional takes like a ricotta and egg sandwich topped with maple hot sauce.

SHOP Astoria’s eclectic style is reflected in its retail outposts, which include Lockwood Shop (curated jewelry, Queens-themed merchandise) and its sister women’s apparel store, Lockwood Style (lockwood shop.com). Shoes and accessories are available at newcomer boutique The Brass Owl (thebrassowl .com). Loveday 31 (718.728.4057, no website) is Astoria’s main source for offbeat vintage dresses and handbags in a store with 1970s-style mannequins.

CHECK OUT Anyone with an appreciation for motion pictures, TV or digital media of any kind should definitely take a few hours to peruse the Museum of the Moving Image (movingimage.us). Here you will find interactive exhibits, historical props and sets from your favorite shows, and an ever-changing roster of classic and contemporary film screenings. Socrates Sculpture Park (socratessculpturepark.org), which is located on the waterfront on

the border of Astoria and Long Island City, is a free outdoor museum, open studio and rotating exhibition space featuring large-format installations, like the cur-rent “Broadway Billboard” by Duke Riley.
