Uptown DrinkingIt 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 to spend 80 minutes in. This month, it seemed fitting (St. Pat-rick’s Day and all) to find a very special watering hole for some good drinking and eating, Gaelic-style, of course. And so, I hopped in a cab from my Midtown office to a gem of a spot called The Penrose, an Upper East Side Irish gastropub beloved in the neighborhood for its huge variety of whiskeys (over 50), beers on tap and inventive menu. (Yes, this really is a ridiculously difficult job I have.) Here we go!

First, the accolades: It’s hard not to get excited about a bar that Forbes has called one of the “all-star eateries in New York;” a pub that “hides a serious pedigree” and “offers pitch-perfect comfort dishes,” accord-ing to The Wall Street Journal; and, a place that Time Out declared

“an insta-hit.” Let’s start with seating: You can opt for a cushioned bar stool, a place at the communal table or a regular spot in the din-ing room. Food choic-es—(like scrumptious oyster sliders, above, made with bacon, pickles and remoulade; beer-battered McClure’s

Brooklyn pickles; and striped bass ceviche—are several notches above standard nachos-and-chicken-fingers bar food offerings. So, too, the drinks: dirty pickle martinis, a perfect hot toddy, bourbon milk punch for two. This, you will happily note after one visit, is not your grandfather’s neighbor-hood pub. Though I bet grandpa would love it.

THRU APRIL 17: “The Orchid Show: Orchidelirium”During the Victorian era, orchid collectors risked life and limb scouring perilous jungles for rare blooms. This flower frenzy, later known as orchidelirium, is revived at the New York Botanical Garden’s annual orchid show. The exhibit explores the surprising history of these flowers through displays of thousands of orchids in every size, shape, color and texture. The garden is open late on Saturdays this month for Orchid Evenings, romantic events featuring cocktails and, you guessed it, orchids. nybg.org—Joni Sweet

Music is alive and well in New York. Sure, it has changed. Many of the legendary music venues such as the Bottom Line and CBGB have closed, and the live-music scene has expanded to include Brooklyn and Queens. All of which means there are plenty of inventive and exciting sounds emanating from clubs throughout the city.

RockersROCKWOOD MUSIC HALL Rockwood Music Hall has jumped to the front of the line of must-go-to rock clubs since its opening in 2005. The club boasts many styles of rock music, though it leans toward the melodic. In fact, a well-known music website, indieonthemove.com, warns musicians, “No hard rock, hardcore, hip-hop, metal, punk, rap, screamo, thrash.” The Rockwood is es-sentially three intimate venues in one: Stage One holds 70 patrons, while Stage Two opens up to 300. Stage Three is the most intimate, re-served for acoustic acts, with room for 64. The Rockwood does require a one-drink minimum per set, but music is the priority here. The club is a great showcase for new talent: Superstars like Lady Gaga, Jessie J and Mumford & Sons played here on their way up. If your love for rock is real, you’ll love the Rockwood. 196 Allen St., 212.477.4155, rockwoodmusichall.com

BOWERY BALLROOM The Bowery Ballroom is housed in a 1929 build-ing that was converted into a music venue in 1998. The 575-seat room has become an essential stop for established bands that are in the process of moving up to the big time. As a stand-ing-room-only space, it’s not built for comfort. But with hipper bands like Nada Surf, G. Love & Special Sauce, and the Infamous Stringdusters, it’s hard to complain about the music, which plays seven nights a week. 6 Delancey St., 212.260.4700, boweryball room.com

WEBSTER HALL In the heart of the Vil-lage is Webster Hall, a huge venue that is both nightclub and concert hall. In addition to its main room, the Grand Ballroom, Webster Hall also has a downstairs studio (accessible by a separate entrance), which serves as a hot spot for young bands to do showcases, or just for any fan to get an up close musical thrill. In March, you can check

out up-and-comers in-cluding Nathan Ander-son, Somos and Petal. For hip-hop and metal-heads, Webster Hall is a necessary—and very cool—destination. 125 E. 11th St., 212.353.1600, websterhall.com

Jazz CatsBLUE NOTEJazz fans in New York City have never had a shortage of venues. Time-honored places like Café Carlyle and the Village Vanguard are still well-respected locations that put music lovers in awe when they walk through their doors. Among other old-time institutions is the Blue Note, where past per-formers have included Dizzy Gillespie and Sarah Vaughan. When artists such as Chris Botti and David Benoit want to play an intimate gig in the city, this is their choice. Space is limited (this is New York), but there is always room at the bar, where it all sounds just as good. And hey, for fun, there is even a gift shop! 131 W. 3rd St., 212.475.8592, bluenote.net

WHERE HARLEM JAZZ LIVES ON Located in a brownstone, Bill’s Place pays tribute to the neighbohood’s musical his-tory with lively jazz shows.

If you’re looking for genuine Harlem jazz, you won’t find a more authentic (and fun!) experience than at Bill’s Place. This is where (according to legend) Billie Holiday was first discovered at age 17 and jazz greats Fats Waller and Willie “The Lion” Smith regularly tickled the ivories while guests indulged in homemade booze during Prohibition.

This isn’t your modern, trendy speakeasy—it’s a two-room, no-frills parlor, where small crowds gather in a living room to watch founder Bill Sax-ton (a world-class saxophonist) lead the Harlem All Stars on Friday and Saturday nights. Guests sit within arm’s reach of the lively and talented musi-cians, as they rouse the crowds on bass, drums, sax and keys.

Technically, this is a dry establishment (no alcohol allowed). But speakeasies, by nature, don’t follow the rules: On a recent visit, Bill’s Place of-fered cups, ice and corkscrews to guests on a BYOB basis. Try your luck with your own bottle.

Most of the cabarets, clubs and speakeasies from the 1920s that called W. 133rd Street home are now gone, but luckily, the legacy of its “Swing Street” nickname lives on at Bill’s Place. —Joni Sweet Bill’s Place, 148 W. 133rd St., 212.281.0777, billsplaceharlem .com. Reservations a must.

Blue NoteRockwood Music Hall

For more information: wheretraveler.com



FAT CATFor jazz fans who are looking for out-of-the-way venues, there are almost too many choices. One of my favorites is Fat Cat, which in many ways is more than a jazz club. The space is actually a multicultural institution that features music, games, an art space and some educational pro-grams. Musically, you can find a wide range of genres from jazz to Latin, even classical or world music. In addition, Fat Cat gets right to the heart of jazz tradition with late-night jam sessions, where literally anything can happen and anyone can show up. 75 Christopher St., 212.675.6056, fatcatmusic.org

SMALLS JAZZ CLUB Smalls is aptly named, a small room of a jazz club with huge possibilities. Since 1993, it has been well-known as a premier spot to see up-and-coming talent on the jazz scene. The music is great, but the room is a

tiny one. On the plus side, this practically puts you in the bell of the sax player’s horn. On the downside, lines can extend around the block, so plan ahead and get there in plenty of time. The owners have created a record label called Smalls Live, which has released albums by Spike Wilner, the Seamus Blake Quintet and others. As one Yelp! re-viewer noted, “It’s like hav-ing great jazz in your living room with a few friends.” 183 W. 10th St., 646.476.4346, smalls live.com

Classical LoversMILLER THEATREAll reports to the contrary, classical music is alive and

well—especially in New York. Since 1988, the Miller Theatre at Columbia Univer-sity School of the Arts has been an incubator for new music, in addition to pre-senting concerts covering jazz, opera and multimedia performances. Recently, the theater hosted Yarn/Wire, a New York-based percussion and piano quartet that has been praised in the press for its “spellbinding virtuosity.” The Miller has presented a wide range of concerts, from a “Bachathon” to the Belgian vocal ensemble Vox Luminis’ presentation of works from the entire Bach family, along with concerts spotlighting contemporary composers such as Alex Mincek and Ashley Fure. The theater also hosts monthly “pop-up” concerts, free events where the audience sits onstage for the perfor-mance. The old styles never sounded as new as they do at the Miller Theatre. 2960 Broadway, 212.854.7799, mil lertheatre.com

MERKIN CONCERT HALLAmong the highlights at Merkin Concert Hall this season is the New York Festival of Song series including the “At Home” concert (March 15), songs for every room in the house by international composers such as Camille Saint-Saëns, Francis Poulenc, Leonard Bernstein and John Bucchino. With only 449 seats, the Merkin offers an intimate setting that provides a visceral experience, no matter what the style of music. Kaufman Music Center, 129 W. 67th St., 212.501.3330, kaufmanmusiccenter.org

BARGEMUSIC Finally, if you’ve got your sea legs, check out Bargemusic, billed as “New York’s floating concert hall.” The barge is moored underneath the Brooklyn Bridge, and provides terrific concerts up to five nights a week—not to mention spectacular views of the Manhattan skyline. Don’t let the watery locale throw you; in the last few seasons, Bargemusic has been the setting for pianist Donald Berman’s recital of Berio, Fauré, Wheeler and Ives, plus programs of Beethoven sonatas and Liszt soliloquies. Fulton Ferry Landing, DUMBO, Brooklyn, 718.624.4924, bargemusic.org

So, the bottom line: If you can’t find the music you want to hear, you’re just not looking hard enough. We’ve got it here, somewhere!

Art Around TownWhile NYC abounds with provocative art shows and auctions nearly any day of the year, March is a particularly flush time for art lovers. In addition to seasonal auctions and exhibitions, Armory Week

(March 3-6) and Asia Week (March 10-19) bring fine art spanning cultures and centuries. Below, a look at some of the most compelling fairs, shows and auctions of note this month.—Lorraine Rubio

Be sure to wear your walking shoes at The Armory Show (March 3-6), which fills the West Side’s Piers 92 and 94 during Armory Week. Thought-pro-voking works on display include de-pictions of crumbling South African architecture by Ivory Coast-based photographer François-Xavier Gbré (Galerie Cécile Fakhoury-Abidjan, above). Piers 92 and 94, 212.645.6440, thearmoryshow.com

On the Upper East Side, art lovers find 30 antiquities dealers with expertise in Chinese, Japanese and Oceanic art at the Asia Art Fair (March 11-15). Objects available for purchase include Chinese Song dy-nasty porcelain (Cliff Lee Porcelain). Bohemian National Hall, 321 E. 73rd St., 212.988.1733, the asiaartfair.com

At the A�ordable Art Fair (March 30-April 3) accessibility and art go hand in hand. Fairgoers find original works for as low as $100 and talks on subjects that include designing your home around art. The Metropolitan Pavilion, 125 W. 18th St., 212.255.2003, affordableartfair.com/newyork

At Staley-Wise Gallery, visitors are whisked into another world in the gravity-defying 1960s fashion snaps of New York-based photographer Melvin Sokolsky (on view thru April 18). Sokolsky’s surrealist-influenced photography features floating globes traversing such photogenic cities as Paris and NYC (above). 560 Broadway, 212.966.6223, staleywise.com

Midcentury minimalist artist Ellsworth Kelly’s austere black-and-white photo prints of shadows and the outdoors speak to the painter’s fascination with shape and form. The first-ever exhibition of his photo-graphic work (shot between 1950 and 1982) is on view thru April 30 at Matthew Marks Gallery. 523 W. 24th St., 212.243.0200, matthewmarks.com

New York-based painter Gregory Thielker captures the beauty in the mundane, such as driving in the rain, in his meditative hyper-realistic paintings of rain-splattered windshields (on view March 5-April 2) at Castor Gallery. 254 Broome St., 212.321.0223, castorgallery.com

Held during NYC’s Asia Week, Bon-hams’ Fine Japanese Works of Art auction (March 16) includes historical artifacts that span the centuries and showcase cultural tendencies toward naturalism and spatial realism. These themes can be seen in the climb-ing plants and depiction of the interior space on this turn-of-the-last-century trinket box modeled after a cottage (above). 580 Madison Ave., 212.644.9001, bonhams.com

At Sotheby’s Contemporary Curated auction (March 3) during Armory Week, works by leading 20th- and 21st-century artists go to the highest bidder. Paintings by Tom Wessel-mann and Josef Albers are among the works on the block. 1334 York Ave., 212.606.7000, sothebys.com

History buffs, take note: Swann Auc-tion Galleries’ Printed & Manuscript African Americana auction (March 31) features letters, rare books, ephemera and one-of-a-kind pieces, including items from a World War II Tuskegee Airman. 104 E. 25th St., 212.254.4710, swanngalleries.com

C O C K T A I L C R U I S I N G

THREE BARS, ONE NIGHTOne night after work, frazzled by deadlines that come faster

each month, Joni Sweet (my associate editor) and I decided

to detox at three carefully selected downtown bars. Stop one

was Mr. Purple in the Hotel Indigo on the Lower East Side. This

sleek, eclectically-designed bar/lounge on the 15th �oor af-

fords knock-your-socks-o� views of Lower Manhattan’s skyline

and refreshing cocktails (like the Elyx Cup). From a skyline view

to a subterranean speakeasy: Attaboy is one of those bars that

is so cool, it has neither a phone number nor easy access: You

get in by ringing a doorbell. Your barkeep will ask about your

�avor preferences and then create the perfect cocktail. Last

stop: Pete’s Tavern and a slice of NYC history, where, in the sec-

My Perfect Day: The Theater District By Brian Scott Lipton

With St. Patrick’s Day (March 17) falling on a Thursday, it will be easier (and safer) to get my Irish up on a weekend in the Theater District. I’ll start things on a hearty note with a traditional Irish breakfast—fried eggs, potatoes, mushrooms, bacon, sausage, black-and-white pudding, fried tomatoes and toast—at the spectacularly decorated Lillie’s Victorian Establish-ment (249 W. 49th St., 212.957.4530, lilliesnyc.com), giving my morning regards to Broadway. I might choose to see “Hughie” (Booth Theatre, 222 W. 45th St., 212.239.6200, hughiebroadway.com) by Irish-American playwright Eugene O’Neill the rarely-revived two-hander about a down-on-his luck 1920s hustler and a patient hotel clerk, starring Oscar winner Forest Whitaker. Or I might indulge in Stephen Karam’s comedy-drama “The Hu-mans” (Helen Hayes Theatre, 240 W. 44th St., 212.239.6200, thehumansonbroadway.com), about an Irish-American family strug-gling to forget their troubles and make it through Thanksgiving intact. Either way,

I’ll probably get a shot of “Irish courage” (that’s whiskey to the rest of you), which I can imbibe in comfort at the bar of the ever-gracious Glass House Tavern (252 W. 47th St., 212.730.4800, glasshousetavern .com) before braving the evening (these plays are dark). At any rate, whatever you do in this town for St. Paddy’s Day, may the luck of the Irish be with you!

Head ShotsIn his day, Anthony van Dyck was a celebrity portraitist without equal. Think of him as the Annie Leibovitz or Cecil Beaton of the 17th century. Aristocrats and the elite clam-ored to sit for him; Charles I of England rewarded him with a knighthood. The artist’s por-trait of the king and his wife, Henrietta Maria, (left)—never before seen in the United States—is among the master-pieces in the �rst major van Dyck exhibition in 20 years, opening March 2 at The Frick Collection (this page).

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.

What could be more calming than strolling through 52 acres of domes-tic and exotic plants and flowers, a Japanese hill and pond garden, and a garden named after William Shake-speare’s poems? Find out at the (1) Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Speaking of spectacular gardens, travel back in time at (2) The Cloisters, where you can walk around an herb garden made of 250 species cultivated in the Middle Ages. But then again, if relaxing to you means a minimum of movement, luxuriate in a saltwater bath or steam at (3) Aire Ancient Baths: No strolling required.

Looking for a place to catch your favorite March Madness games? At (1) Bounce Sporting Club, you have the option to watch “more flat screens than a Best Buy,” according to one review. Great burgers, plush leather booths and a packed house add to the fun. Footwear for every imaginable sport, camping and ski-ing equipment, workout clothes, free weights and tons more are yours for the picking at New York’s exclusive (2) Paragon Sports. Check out a New York Islanders hockey game or a Brooklyn Nets basketball game this month at (3) Barclays Center.

Experience Native American jewelry, clothes, pottery and more in the his-toric Alexander Hamilton U. S. Cus-tom House in Lower Manhattan—for free!—when you visit the (1) Nation-al Museum of the American Indian. Broadway—or, more specifically—the (2) TKTS booth underneath the red steps in Times Square—is calling your name for half-price tickets to some of Broadway’s hottest shows. For $15, you can take a Small Batch Tour at (3) The Brooklyn Brewery. Enjoy a guided tasting, an in-depth history of the brewery and a souve-nir glass. Bottoms up!
