Wind Down, Wind Up!It was 80 years ago that Where magazine was launched, and to cel-ebrate this fact, each month in 2016, I will be picking a favorite NYC venue (or two) to spend 80 minutes in. This month, I choose SoHo’s Haven Spa and Think Coffee bar to experience. There is something particularly comforting, especially when in the dregs of an assaultive New York winter, to slip into a spa, and amid the essential-oil-filled air and New Age music, you experience some replenishing body treat-ment. Then, lover of contrasts that I am, I’m keen to rev it all back up with a powerful cup of brew: from detox to high octane!

So, here’s the trick to these 80 minutes: You get to experience a relaxing spa treat-ment that is also time-efficient. In this case, an appointment at Haven Spa on Mercer Street is very much on point, since the Me Menu offers mini-escapes (30 minutes) of lovely

replenishers for the body, such as the Scrub Me: a smoothing and moisturizing body scrub that ends with a shower, while you continue to relax on the table (above, left)! Afterward, take five just to enjoy the elegant lounge area (above), then it‘s on to Think Coffee, a genu-

inely cool coffee bar right down the street that prides itself on hav-ing personal relation-ships with the farmers whose beans the bar buys; compostable cups, lids and packag-ing; and hearty coffee. I opt for the Think blend: medium-dark and full-bodied. Sandwiches and baked goods are all fine as well. All in a New York minute (plus 79)!

I t usually takes one person less than a minute to unwrap a present, but a shared memory of two people enjoying an experience together is there to stay. And

when it comes to a romantic gift, describing a product to friends isn’t half the fun as telling the story of the time you went ice-skating in Manhattan, created a bespoke scent for two in TriBeCa, found Parisian-style love in New York or took a SoHo culinary tour. That’s one reason why experien-tial gifts that keep on giving are so memorable.

“Valentine’s Day is a commercial holiday: So, we like to take the pressure o� � nding the perfect thing for the perfect person,” says Joyce Weinberg, founder of City Food Tours, whose clients, both locals and visitors, � nd hap-piness through tasting and sightseeing tours of the Big Apple. “My best advice is to have fun, treat yourself to some high-quality decadence and explore New York at the same time.” Here are several romantic notions to savor in pairs.

On Broadway, l’amour looks and sounds like the Tony Award-winning show “An American in Paris.” Parisian landmark settings provide a romantic backdrop for the dance musical about an American and a young French woman as the resilient City of Light emerges from wartime occupation. Love songs such as “‘S Wonderful” and “They Can’t Take That Away From Me” are courtesy of Brooklyn-born composer George Gershwin, who fell in love with Par-is in the 1920s. Palace Theatre, 1564 Broadway, 877.250.2929,

americaninparisbroadway.com

The Palace Theatre is also where American-born singer Josephine Baker once performed, decades after the Ameri-can star entranced Paris in the 1920s with her risqué act. Book a table at Chez Josephine, the Theater District French restaurant and piano bar opened in her honor in 1986 by a close family member. It serves a Valentine’s Day menu and a cocktail, J’ai Deux Amours (Cointreau, Campari and orange juice topped with champagne), named after the song that mentions her two loves: “my country and Paris.” 414 W. 42nd St., 212.954.1925, chezjosephine.com

For those enamored with fragrance, couples can create their own at The Scentarium, with the help of mix master Sue Phillips, who’s been in the business for over 25 years and has developed perfumes and colognes for Ti� any & Co. and Burberry. She trademarked “scentertainment,” the name given to the fun and personalized process of choosing a bespoke scent in her TriBeCa atelier. Intimate, hour-long fragrance workshops for two, enjoyed with a glass of wine or champagne, can be booked in advance (give at least 24 hours’ notice). They start with a personal-ity test and take an olfactory journey through 18 blends until just the right notes—fresh, � oral, woody, oriental or otherwise—are selected and bottled, air-travel-friendly size and upward, ready to go or to be shipped. Smells trigger

memories, so relive your New York trip every time a bottle is reordered and opened. 85 Franklin St., 917.449.1134,

scenterprises.com

Also Downtown, follow your nose to The Setai Club, where, throughout February, couples can share a 30-minute spa bath and, in the same suite, follow it with a 60-minute aromatherapy dual massage, using neroli and rose oils. Champagne and chocolates are part of the package to complete a blissful, seductive visit. 40 Broad St.,

212.792.6193, setaiclubnewyork.com

Culinary tourism is hotter than it’s ever been and rarely sweeter than on the two-hour Chocolate, Dessert and Drink Tour, run by the aforementioned City Food Tours, where you can explore specialty shops in less touristy areas of SoHo and NoLIta. Couples in small, guided groups, and on foot, make several stops at � ne chocolatiers and deli-cious bakeries as well as sampling wine or craft beer. On Valentine’s Day weekend (Feb. 13-15), expert guides talk about these passionate products from artisanal vendors as well as the history—and aphrodisiac properties—of choco-late. Cityfoodtours.com, 212.535.8687

Drop by Voilà Chocolat between Feb. 9 and 14 to per-sonally handcraft chocolates together, adding Valentine’s Day touches, decorating tru� es, lollipops, dipped straw-berries and other treats in love-themed patterns or words.

For many, Times Square is the beating heart of New York City, pulsating with energy and electricity, and, from Feb. 9 to March 6, it’s home to “Heart of Hearts,” a public art installation.

A tradition for over 80 years, ice-skating on The Rink at Rockefeller Center is a truly New York experience. Skating duos, hand in hand, circle the ice together, overlooked by the Art Deco-style landmark in Midtown. Book ahead for a little private time on the rink with the Platinum Engage-ment-on-Ice package. You can even choose the right music for when (one of ) you bends down on one knee, perfectly poised, of course, and pops the question. A waiter will gladly pop the champagne, since you two will be busy. Newly engaged, you then glide over to The Sea Grill for a �ve-course chef’s tasting menu to celebrate. Reserve a rinkside table in advance, a dozen roses and a bottle of Veuve Clicquot (all part of the package) to wrap up the most magical of experiences. The Rink: Fifth Ave., btw 49th

Valentine’s Day DietWhether you love digging into a juicy T-bone steak, thrive on fresh, seasonal veggies or have a diet that falls somewhere in between, New York City’s restaurants will �nd a way to please your palate.

The Where editorial team sampled nine sexy restaurants—three each for vegetarians, omnivores and carnivores—to �nd the perfect place for a date, no matter your sweetheart’s dietary preferences.

The Lower East Side’s Dirt Candycooks up American Nouveau cuisine entirely out of plant-based ingredi-ents in an intimate red-and-white set-ting. Chef Amanda Cohen loves play-ing with whimsical presentations, as seen in the rainbow cauli�ower curry (above) and multicolored dinner rolls, served in a �ower pot. 86 Allen St., 212.228.7732, dirtcandynyc.com

With a softly-lit upscale space on the Upper East Side and a menu full of meat-free versions of eclectic multi-cultural dishes, Candle 79 provides an oasis for vegans. Entrées like seitan piccata and portobello steak are main-course wins, but be sure to start o� with the tender pomegran-ate-barbecue seitan skewers. 154 E. 79th St., 212.537.7179, candle79.com Kick o� your shoes for gourmet Korean dining at Hangawi. Tuck your bare feet under the sunken tables, then tuck into veggie-packed bibim-bap, organic maitake mushrooms and wild mountain roots in a serene setting. 12 E. 32nd St., 212.213.0077, hangawirestaurant.com—Joni Sweet

With thousands of restaurants, NYC is the culinary epicenter for options. Several spots o�er this same �exibil-ity on one menu—perfect for varying dietary preferences or keeping a healthy balance. The menu at West Village charmer Ellary’s Greens caters to a wide range of taste buds, from bacon-crazed (bacon mac & cheese) to vegan (seasonal mushroom salad) to pescatarian (shrimp scampi, above). 33 Carmine St., 212.920.5072, ellarysgreens.com

Swank Midtown restaurant Glass House Tavern features both veggie-based mains, such as quinoa paella with ginger-root vegetables, mint and tarragon; and grilled steaks. 252 W. 47th St., 212.730.4800, glasshouse tavern.com

Copper Kettle Kitchen’s rustic din-ing room is a cozy option for chilly nights. The menu is ideal for sharing, with two-person entrées (Dijon-crust-ed rack of lamb) and hearty vegetari-an dishes (eggplant “meatballs”). 1471 Second Ave., 212.744.1100, copperkettle kitchen.com—Lorraine Rubio

There are tons of places in NYC for a �ne steak, so this month, why not also seek out one with a roman-tic ambience? The plush, elegant Delmonico’s �ts the bill here, a spot which also has a historic twist: Opened in 1837, its chefs are cred-ited with inventing lobster Newburg, eggs Benedict and baked Alaska. And the dry-aged steaks (above) are pretty awesome, too. 56 Beaver St., 212.509.1144, delmonicosny.com

For a Midtown date spot, I always gravitate to Del Frisco’s: I love the gorgeous, soaring bi-level space; the cordial waitsta�, who insist you cut into your steak to ensure it has been cooked to your liking; and the maque choux corn side dish, which never fails to knock my socks o�. 1221 Sixth Ave., 212.575.5129, delfriscos.com

I simply love Parlor Steak & Fish, an intimate, neighborhoody spot with supremely �ne steaks and simple sides that thrill, such as rich creamed spinach and yummy fried onions. 1600 Third Ave., 212.423.5888, parlor steakand�sh.com—Lois Levine

At this time of year, plenty of New York bars beckon with fireplaces ablaze and hot toddies at the ready. So, am I being perverse when I steer you away from “warm and cozy” and point you in the direction of the polar opposite: Minus5 Ice Bar in Midtown, where the thermostat is always set at minus 5 degrees Celsius (23 degrees Fahrenheit)?

No way. New York is about memorable experi-ences, and Minus5 is among the unforgettables.

Its walls, benches, tables, sculptures, chandeliers and drinking glasses are all made from ice—100 tons of it. And at half a million dollars, this frozen water doesn’t come cheap. Master carvers recently chiseled the 3,000-square-foot space into an homage to the city, with a nook devoted to Andy Warhol (above), NYC’s ultimate cool cat, and a frieze

Thrill of the ChillBaby, it’s cold outside. And inside Minus5 Ice Bar, NYC’s only deep-freeze cocktail lounge. Cheers!

BY BRIAN SCOTT LIPTON In February, the month devoted to St. Valentine, I spend at least one day making sure I can fulfill my own heart’s desires—as well as those of the one I love. And one of the best areas to make these wishes come true, to quote pop goddess Petula

Clark, is “downtown.” Since I am never exactly sure what culinary cravings may strike, my first stop for lunch is the charming Gansevoort Market (52 Gansevoort St., no phone, gansmarket

.com), the rustic food hall where I can sample dozens of national (and international) deli-cacies, from a decadent all-American lobster roll to terrific Thai offerings, savory and sweet French crepes, Italian gelato and even authentic Greek yogurt! (I try not to do all of these at one sitting.) With my tummy fully satisfied, I then set out to indulge my passion for beautiful bling, and there’s no better place than Doyle & Doyle (412 W.

13th St.,. 212.677.9991, doyledoyle.com). With its stunning selection of hand-chosen vin-tage and antique jewelry encased in vitrines, the shop may resemble a museum, but

all of its sparkling wares are for sale. Enraptured by the romantic mood, who could resist one of its magnificent heart-shaped lockets, whether festooned with diamonds (left) or

making a simple statement of love in 14-karat gold? To top off the outing, some bubbly is always in order, so I make my way to Anfora (34 Eighth Ave., 212.518.2722, anforanyc.com), the stylish yet comfortable wine bar with a great array of vintages on hand, both by the glass and the bottle, where I can toast to the pur-suit of great food, gorgeous jewelry and true happiness.

dedicated to Broadway hits “The Lion King,” “Hamil-ton” and a score more. You can pose on the Statue of Liberty throne and be an Instagram smash, or simply chill with a vodka-based cocktail like The Big Apple (Three Olives vodka, Sour Apple Pucker, sweet-and-sour mix). And lest you shiver, insulated parkas and gloves are supplied for maximum comfort. New York Hilton Midtown, 1335 Sixth Ave., 212.757.4610, minus5experience.com—Francis Lewis

Serving 469 stations along 660.75 miles of track, approxi-mately 6,400 air-conditioned subway cars will take you to almost anywhere in the city faster than a taxi and at a fraction of the cost.

Subways run every 2-to-5 minutes during rush hours, 10-to-15 minutes during the day and about every 20 minutes between midnight and 5 am.

Signs above the platform edge tell you which trains stop there and the direction of travel. Signs on the front of the train identify the route. Subway maps are hung at stations and in every subway car.

Subway station entrances display the routes that stop there; some entrances only provide service in one direction (for example, uptown only or down-town only), so be sure you check before you pay.

Station booth agents can answer questions and sell MetroCard, NYC Transit’s electronic farecard. Subway stations also have MetroCard vending machines. They accept credit/debit cards or cash.

ABOUT BUSESApproximately 5,900 air-conditioned buses pro-vide reliable service on over 300 routes to almost anywhere in the city. Bus stops are located about every two blocks on street corners and are marked by a sign pole with a bus emblem and route number. While some buses run 24 hours a day, most operate between 5 am and 2 am. Bus schedules and route maps are posted on most bus stops. All buses are equipped with wheelchair accessible lifts. Check the sign on the front of the bus. If you’re not sure it’s the bus you want, ask the bus operator.

ABOUT FARESThe base subway and local bus fare is $2.75 per ride, payable by MetroCard. Buses also accept exact change (but no dollar bills or pennies).

METROCARDYou can buy MetroCards at any subway station booth. MetroCards are also available at MetroCard vending machines, which are found in many subway stations and at neighborhood stores. Look for the MetroCard sign in store windows or visit www.mta.info/metrocard for a store near you.

There are two kinds of MetroCards: 1) Unlimited Ride—$31 for seven consecutive days and $116.50 for 30 consecutive days. 2) Pay-Per-Ride—The bonus for purchasing multiple rides is 11 percent.

New York Your Way[ W h e r e i N s i d e ]

UNIQUE TRAVEL RECOMMENDATIONS, FIT TO MATCH YOUR PERSONAL STYLE.

FIND THE CITY CURATED FOR YOU AT WHERETRAVELER.COM/NEWYORK.

OK, NYC newbies! Here are the requisites for Big Apple 101: (1) The Empire State Building, with its Art Deco design and colored lights on top reflecting different holidays and events, really is somethin’ to see. (2) The Statue of Liberty was modeled after Charlotte, the mother of the statue’s creator, Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi (was he a mama’s boy)? After Lady Liberty, hop back on the ferry for (3) the Ellis Island National Museum of Immigration. Close to 40 percent of U.S. citizens can trace at least one of their ancestors to Ellis Island: four degrees of separation?

If you’ve brought tots along with your luggage, stop in at (1) the Chil-dren’s Museum of Manhattan: In warm weather, rugrats can splash to their hearts‘ content at “City Splash,” or, year-round, get worn out danc-ing to rock music at “Frolic!” (2) The Bronx Zoo will make you question whether you really are in an asphalt jungle, since the ”Congo Gorilla Forest” looks like a real one. (3) At Sony Wonder Technology Lab, your techno-tike can check out the “Nan-otechnology Virtual Surgery Robot Zone” (ask him to explain what that means: We’re clueless).

Why be a tourist cliché on a double-decker bus when you can glide along the water in luxury seats and create your own itinerary on a (1) New York Water Taxi. Regardless of the season, you’ll want to ramble around the lush landscapes of (2) the New York Botanical Garden, a national historic landmark housing over a million living plants. (3) The High Line, an elevated park built from an abandoned freight rail line, is proof that we recycle everything in NYC. Filled with flowers, works of art and sculpture, the High Line deserves a stroll.
