Everything To Do NYC

PHOTO BY M AT THE W MURPHY

It is rare for an actor to revisit a role. But in a completely different medium? Rarer still. Tom Felton, who rose to fame as Draco Malfoy in all eight Harry Potter films, made wizarding world history when he stepped back into Draco’s robes—this time as an adult—in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway. “It’s very much a ‘pinch me’ situation,” Felton says. “I keep thinking I’m dreaming.” The blockbuster play picks up 19 years after the events of the final story, with Draco and Harry as grown men navigating fatherhood and a new generation of wizards. “Getting a chance to step back into Draco’s shoes now that he’s a father in this new story—it’s very exciting,” Felton adds. And fans clearly agree, as Felton’s run in Cursed Child is one of the hottest tickets on Broadway this season. Will you be there as Tom Felton takes the stage, or are you “Scared, Potter?”

SIGHT SEEING

See It All From Unique New York Perspectives

ew York is a vertical city and there’s never been a better time to experience it, with multiple worldclass observatories opening up the city’s skies. For downtown’s take on altitude, look to One World Observatory. It’s the tallest building in the hemisphere, offering 360° immersions in the landmarks of downtown. From a climate-controlled perch you can enjoy unique perspectives on New York Harbor, the Statue of Liberty, historic bridges, and even out to New Jersey. Near Grand Central, SUMMIT One Vanderbilt takes the concept of an “observation deck” to new heights through three floors of multi-sensory interactions. Kenzo Digital, an immersive storytelling studio, is behind AIR at SUMMIT, which creates the illusion of boundless space. At night, SUMMIT is transformed into a beacon of light and energy visible to all of NYC and beyond. See the Empire State Building for yourself and you’ll know immediately why the skyscraper is one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. The 86th floor is home to the

Observation Deck, open to the air with views that go on for miles. The Western Hemisphere’s highest outdoor observation deck, Edge, stands atop the city’s newest neighborhood, Hudson Yards. Step out onto the triangular deck and you’ll be 100 floors above the ground with miles of visibility in every direction.

The city’s newest viewing deck is at One Times Square (you’ve doubtless seen the building many times, as it’s home to the iconic Times Square New Year’s Eve Ball). The brandnew Times Travel will connect you with a glass elevator ride, a simulated airship trip over the city, up-close encounters with New Year’s Eve balls past and future, and a confetti-filled countdown to New Year’s Eve at “Eternal Midnight.” It all culminates with a 360-degree wraparound viewing deck, which includes a daring glass walkway.

That’s only the beginning at this revamped Times Square legend, which also features likenesses that run from world leaders to sports stars to a roomful of glamour at the Glow Gala.

The flight deck is home to 28 authentic historic aircraft, including the record-breaking supersonic British Airways Concorde. The epic Space Shuttle Pavilion holds Enterprise, which was a massive technological leap forward for NASA and America. New to the museum is a restored World War II FG-1D Corsair, one of the only surviving examples of this aircraft, which played a pivotal role in the Pacific Theater. City Cruises offers great ways to dine along the skyline. For a refined experience, book a Premier Brunch, Lunch, or Dinner Cruise on the all-glass, European-inspired Bateaux New York and enjoy chef-prepared, plated dining, live entertainment, signature cocktails, and the city’s most impressive views.

If you want to see the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island first-hand, Statue City Cruises is the only way to get there (with amazing perspectives on water, shipping, and skylines along the way). When you arrive on Liberty Island, you’ll find the Statue of Liberty Museum. Breathtaking views are joined by a $100 million destination that includes an up close look at the statue’s original torch.

EXPLORING INNOVATION AND BRAVERY

INTREPID MUSEUM A visit to the former aircraft carrier that’s now the Intrepid Museum is a step inside a living time capsule. The immersive experience takes in maritime history, space exploration, and the evolution of aviation. The Museum was founded in 1982 with the acquisition of the aircraft carrier USS Intrepid, now a National Historic Landmark. Intrepid served tours of duty in World War II and the Vietnam War, and was a recovery vessel for the Gemini and Mercury space missions. More than one million visitors a year seek out this landmark on the Hudson River at the western edge of Midtown. Explorations here include the Space Shuttle Pavilion, which displays the world’s first space shuttle, Enterprise, which paved the way for America’s successful Space Shuttle Program. You can get up close to historic aircraft like the British Airways Concorde, above, which set the world speed record for passenger airliners

ON THE FLIGHT DECK

In addition to multiple interior decks, the famed flight deck is prime for exploring, with 28 authentically restored aircraft set against the backdrop of the New York City skyline. Highlights include the Lockheed A-12, the world’s fastest military jet and spy plane (center image), a MIG Soviet fighter jet, and a Harrier “jump jet,” designed for vertical takeoffs and landings.

RARE HISTORY The collection here is dynamic, continuing to evolve. One of the newest placements is a legendary piece of aviation history. A World War II FG-1D Corsair, on loan from the National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, Florida, has recently been restored and installed on the Museum’s hangar deck. Only a few examples of this aircraft, famed for its pivotal role in the Pacific Theater, remain intact today. The Corsair was designed as a carrier fighter-bomber and was essential to the U.S.

L to R: kids love the hands-on experiences at the Exploreum; history lives at the Intrepid Museum: a Douglas F4D-1 Skyray landing on the flight deck. Robert Wayne Osburn, 1957–61, Object number: P2013.149.67. Navy’s success in World War II. The Museum’s exhibit centers around the story of Alfred Lerch, a decorated Corsair pilot from Intrepid’s VF-10 squadron. Lerch achieved “ace in a day” status by downing seven enemy aircraft in a single day of combat. For his exemplary service, Lerch was awarded the Navy Cross, and the restored Corsair bears his personal markings. Although this specific plane did not fly from Intrepid, Corsairs were among the most flown aircraft from the carrier’s flight deck. At 41 feet in width and over 33 feet in length, the FG-1D Corsair was one of the most formidable aircraft of its time, capable of reaching speeds up to 446 mph. This new display follows the unveiling of Final Flight: The Story of a World War II Corsair, which features fragments from a Corsair that flew off Intrepid during World War II. Together, the two exhibits offer visitors a deeper understanding of the history, engineering, and legacy of the Corsair aircraft and the courageous pilots who flew them. The display is part of a broader reimagining of the Hangar 1 space, which has introduced never-before-seen artifacts, oral histories from former crew members, hands-on experiences, photos, and videos.

SKYRAY Another piece of aviation history you can get up close to is the Douglas F4D-1 Skyray, seen above. At the Museum today you’ll encounter one that was actually deployed on Intrepid from 1961-1962. It was acquired from the New England Air Museum, painstakingly restored, and added to the flight deck in 2022. The Skyray was designed to be a high-altitude fleet protection interceptor and set many speed and time-to-climb records in their day as they were able to reach supersonic speeds. Named for the unique shape of its wing (which resembles a manta ray), the Skyray went into operation with the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps in 1956. INNOVATION AND BRAVERY The Intrepid Museum is a unique cultural institution illuminating the intersection of history and innovation through the people who lived it and the technology that made extraordinary accomplishments possible. It fulfills its mission to promote the understanding of history, science, and service in order to honor, educate, and inspire. Pier 86 (W. 46th St. & 12th Ave.), 212-245-0072, intrepidmuseum.org

Continued from p. 41 Hogwarts Take for instance Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, bursting with delicious plot twists and special effects designed to blow your mind. The show—part Tony-winning play, part epic spectacle— begins 19 years after the original HP saga, with Harry’s youngest son, Albus (Emmet Smith), heading off to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry via the Hogwarts Express. On board he meets fellow first year, Scorpius Malfoy (Aiden Close), and before you can say “All aboard!” the two are best friends swept into a jaw-dropping time travel adventure. In just under three hours, impossible hocuspocus happens before your eyes: characters materialize and vanish in a heartbeat… wands fly…spells explode…the set suddenly changes…Beyond the wondrous illusions, suspense and action are always front and center, and there’s no shortage of laughs, especially in the case of young Scorpius, whose quirks and facial expressions are beyond priceless. As for Scorpius’ dad, that would be Draco, mellowed from his schooldays as Harry’s arch enemy, and played 44 Everything To Do NYC

by Tom Felton, who recently extended his time reprising the role he originated on screen through January 3, 2027. HIGHLIGHTS: Transformative magical effects, from the Time-Turner and moving staircases, to Moaning Myrtle, the Dementors, and an underwater sequence that’s very, very, wow; Lyric Theatre sorcery where cell phones conjure Patronuses and animate portraits and the lobby ceiling; butterbeer; experiencing the show’s enchantment with family and friends first-hand! “Good Old” Shiz Another fantastical school-centric production is the fiercely “Pop-u-lar” Wicked, a show that reshaped a well-known tale into a gravitydefying masterpiece. Wicked is built around two coed heroines—intelligent, idealistic, green-hued Elphaba (Kerri René Fuller) and fashionista/influencer/party witch Glinda

“Every element of this long-running musical...takes you out of the everyday”

(Emma Flynn)—who find themselves reluctant roomies at Shiz University of Advanced Magicks and Sciences. And while the musical is catnip to Oz insiders familiar with both L. Frank Baum’s book “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz,” and MGM’s 1939 film version, newcomers to Broadway’s Gershwin Theatre seem to have no trouble embracing the story— or the lingo, which sees Wicked groupies “rejoycifying” and declaring themselves “Galindafied” during the curtain call. Really, what’s not to love about being close to the Ozian action as it unfolds? Every element of this long-running musical—from the Dragon Clock hovering over the proscenium to the ensemble’s costumes (think fairytale Victorian goth) and spectacular flying sequences—takes you out of the everyday, instantly transporting you to a mythical campus overseen by headmistress Madame Morrible (Ellen Harvey), the swankified Ozdust Ballroom and, of course, Emerald City. HIGHLIGHTS: Glinda’s first appearance floating above the crowd in a shimmering bubble; Elphaba’s showstopping “Defying 46 Everything To Do NYC

Gravity" anthem (expect goosebumps); the (most satisfying!) surprise ending. Come for the magic; leave totally “Thrillified”! MISSIONARY MANIA Ever since it arrived on New York’s theatre scene—snatching up nine Tony Awards in 2011—The Book of Mormon has continued to stockpile laughs. Now, as it celebrates 15 blockbuster years as Broadway’s most gloriously unrepentant musical comedy, BOM continues to spread the gospel according to

THE MAN IN THE MIRROR

Musical bios are tricky. They need an angle to frame their subject, and they need to present a viable glimpse into a celebrity’s backstory. In the case of MJ the Musical, two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Lynn Nottage has finessed the fine line separating various aspects of Michael Jackson’s childhood and the days leading up to his 1992 Dangerous Tour by introducing an MTV crew documenting the star’s process. Once activated, the interview segments segue into flashbacks that shine a light on Jackson’s childhood as the Jackson 5’s lead singer as well as episodic takes on the years that followed. The musical pulse of decades past reverberates throughout the show’s more than 25 songs and Tony-winning choreographer Christopher Wheeldon’s spot-on dance numbers capturing the King of Pop’s

famously stylized moves and persona. Breaking news at the Neil Simon Theatre is the arrival of Ilario Grant, who adds a formidable MJ pedigree to the select group of actors who have played Jackson full-time on Broadway—where, incidentally, he was a Michael standby before traveling Down Under and garnering raves from Australian critics who dubbed his portrayal as “powerhouse” and “nothing short of astonishing." HIGHLIGHTS: Unforgettable musical numbers, from kinetic “Beat It” to soulful “I’ll Be There” to the spinechilling adrenaline rush “Thriller.” Even if you know the songs by heart, at MJ you’ll experience them—from beat to lyrics to musical theatre nirvana—totally.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone (South Park) and Bobby Lopez (Avenue Q), the creative trio behind the adventures of Elders Price and Cunningham, the young—and seriously mismatched—Mormon missionaries deployed to a remote Ugandan village. Fresh from doorbell-ringing in suburban Utah, the two are slammed with gritty reality once the locals make it clear that dealing with poverty and AIDS, while steering clear of a ruthless warlord, trumps conversion. Still, geeky/compulsive liar Cunningham (Diego Enrico) plunges ahead with his skewered

pop-culture version of Latter-day Saints doctrine, managing to impress ingenue Nabulungi (Sydney Quildon). Meanwhile, Mormon golden-boy Price (Kevin Clay) never stops pining for his dream assignment: Orlando, Florida. HIGHLIGHTS: Cameos by the prophet Mormon, Joseph Smith, Jesus, Satan, Angel Moroni, and the Golden Plates; a hilarious King and I Easter egg; and Price’s crowdpleasing-fire-and-brimstone “Spooky Mormon Hell Dream” number.

GLITZ & GLAM TO THE MAX

“Art Deco-inspired backdrops, Tony-winning costumes, to-die-for musical numbers, and flawless performances...”

Roaring On Art Deco-inspired backdrops, Tony-winning costumes, to-die-for musical numbers, and flawless performances—all combine to make Broadway’s The Great Gatsby a smash hit. Based on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel (a high school staple for most of us), the musical ushers us into a hedonistic Jazz Age biosphere of ambition, obsession, and the elusive American

Dream, in which eccentric millionaire Jay Gatsby (Ryan McCartan) throws divinely decadent parties and pursues his long-lost love, Daisy Buchanan (China Anne McClain, in her Broadway debut). Even if you’ve never read the book, you’ll have no trouble following the action of Gatsby—a show that’s been dazzling audiences since its premiere in 2024. The opening number alone is a stunner. Introduced by a magnetic Corbin Bleu in the role of Nick Carraway, it segues into a head-spinning bacchanalia of ravishing choreography and lyrics that illuminate both the bootleg era—“We live for today, we pay off the cops”—and the character of Gatsby—“He hypnotized a city/We were drawn to him/Like moths to a flame.” In short, the party’s in full swing and you’re on the guest list@ HIGHLIGHTS: Paul Tate dePoo III’s awesome digital projections that create an immersive cinematic experience; life-sized “vintage” cars, driven across the Broadway Theatre’s vast stage; Gatsby and Daisy's steamy love duets, “My Green Light” and “Go.”

A Friend Like Me Few shows take the word “fantabulous” to the extreme, but Disney’s Aladdin has, thanks in large part to Genie, the ultra-charismatic wish-granting dude from the lamp whose many hats include MC, stand-up comic, BFF, entrepreneur, raconteur, prestidigitator, and dancer extraordinaire. Playing this multifaceted character is Caleb A. Barnett, clearly a natural when it comes to switching personas mid-song or conjuring a flying carpet for a handsome street thief and his beautiful date. But then again, this technicolor musical overflows with magical shenanigans, derring-do, whirlwind romance, and unpredictable surprises. In the title role, Rodney Ingram is a charming swashbuckling hero, living up to his description as “a diamond in the rough,” who comes to recognize his best qualities once Genie takes him under his wing and gives him the courage to pursue Princess Jasmine (Sonya Balsara), a royal renegade with a mind—and heart—of her own. Their story is played out in and around the bustling metropolis of Agrabah as well as in the Sultan’s palace and the gold-drenched Cave of Wonders, the latter being the setting for “Friend Like Me,” the biggest, baddest, most pyrotechnic fever dream of a number to ever hit Broadway.

HIGHLIGHTS: A madcap chase scene (“One Jump Ahead”) with Aladdin’s posse; Genie’s “Friend Like Me” costume bejeweled with 1,428 Swarovski crystals; the intoxicating “A Whole New World” magic carpet ride soaring out over the audience—rapturous!

CIRCLE OF LIFE Throughout the world, Disney is known as the gold standard for bringing fantastical stories to life—on screen, in theme parks, and on Broadway…especially on Broadway, where The Lion King mesmerizes multi-generational audiences with landmark innovations that set it apart from other musicals. A visual marvel, the show boasts scenery that captures the majesty of Africa’s Pride Lands, puppets and costumes that anthropomorphize a vast array of animals, and a score by Elton John, Tim Rice, and Lebo M that literally seals the deal. For many young theatregoers, this Tony-winning show is their intro to live theatre, drawing them into the lion cub Simba’s comingof-age journey where innocence, friendship, 50 Everything To Do NYC

and humor are challenged by the villainy of conniving Uncle Scar (Tony nominee Gavin Lee). The action becomes particularly intense once Scar drops all “kind concern” pretense and unleashes his Hyena henchmen. Like all Disney shows, both light and darkness balance each other out, for the perfect overall experience. HIGHLIGHTS: The opening parade of animal puppets (including stilted giraffes and a humongous elephant) ambling down the Minskoff Theatre’s aisles; the comedic “Hakuna Matata” romp of Simba's besties Timon and Pumbaa; the dangerously chaotic wildebeest stampede; and, most of all, the brilliant company of performers, many from South Africa, who bring a wonderful authenticity to this utterly brilliant production.

i NYC FOOD HISTORY: PIZZA Pizza was, of course, invented in Italy, but New York has been putting its own distinctive spin on the pie since 1905. That’s when immigrant Gennaro Lombardi opened his eponymous shop in Little Italy. Lombardi’s still serves up some of the city’s best pizza, thin crusted in the Naples style with a light char thanks to the house’s red-hot coal-burning oven. In 1929, Lombardi’s said ciao to employee John Sasso, who left to open his own place on Bleecker Street. You can still get a classic coal-oven pie there, or at the newer John’s of Times Square, which adds stained glass atmosphere inside a converted church. For a more modern slant, check out Una Pizza Napoletana on the Lower East Side. The Neapolitan pies here were awarded best in the U.S. by 50 Top Pizza in 2025 (and best in the world for 2024!).

GETTING AROUND NYC NYC has one of the most developed public transportation systems in the U.S. The subway runs 24/7 and tokens have been retired—you can access the train with your phone or credit card. Taxis and rideshares are popular alternatives; buses can be a good option for cross-town trips. NYC subway and bus fares are fixed at $3 per ride. Ferries are a lesser-known way of navigating the city and a good option for mild weather riding. In addition to free service between Lower Manhattan and St. George on the Staten Island Ferry, there’s also: • NYC Ferry: Extensive routes connecting Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Governors Island, and the Bronx for $4.50 per ride (or $2.90 with a 10-trip pack). Use the NYC Ferry app for tickets and real-time tracking.

A SHOPPING DAY TRIP Just north of the city, Woodbury Common Premium Outlets is a world-renowned shopping destination that features top brands like Ralph Lauren, Gucci, Nike, and Coach among its 250 designer outlet stores. Woodbury Bus offers daily round trips from Midtown Manhattan. Round trips start at $45 + booking fee and the ride takes just one hour, with multiple daily departures. Seating is reserved and there’s free Wifi onboard. The tours are operated by Silver Star Transportation, a leading NYC transportation company with 35+ years of trusted luxury service across the Tri-State area. 212-901-3013, woodburybus.com
