COVER IMAGE: New Years Eve in Photo by John de Guzman. For more than 110 years Times Square has been the focus of worldwide attention when welcoming the New Year. The celebration began as a lavish rooftop fete to honor the ofcial o pening o f t he n ew h eadquarters o f T he N ew Y ork T imes, c ulminating i n an impressive display of freworks. Since that inaugural bash in 1904, the party at the crossroads of the world continued, but two years later the freworks were banned and replaced by the frst Ball lowering. So began a new tradition that has since remained a universal symbol of ushering in the New Year. We’re glad you were here to celebrate! Cheers to 2016.

Dear Friends:

It is my honor to join Monthly in welcoming you to the greatest city in the world.

New York City is home to people from every state in the country and every country on Earth, and we want you to think of this as your home, too.

So while you take in an incomparable Broadway show and tour incredible sites like the Statue of Liberty and , remember to leave time to see our city the way New Yorkers do, too.

No trip to New York City should ever begin and end in just one borough. We are a city of fve incredible boroughs, and the greatest treasures in our city are often of the beaten path. Spend an afternoon at the Brooklyn Museum and its collection of ancient Egyptian art. Take the 7 train out to Flushing, Queens and step into New York City’s largest Chinatown. Walk the boardwalk on Staten Island’s south shore and see some of the best beaches anywhere in the northeast. Sit down to an Italian dinner you’ll never forget on legendary Arthur Avenue in the Bronx.

Whether this is your frst time here or just one of many visits, we want you to experience this city the way we do. And if you’re in need of more ideas for your trip, just ask a New Yorker. We never miss a chance to share a recommendation—or an opinion.

Enjoy your stay. And on behalf of all New Yorkers: welcome!

Sincerely,

PANDORA.NET PANDORA.NET

n the spirit of new beginnings, here’s a resolution you can fnally keep: to get out and see everything you might Ihave missed in New York City in 2015. While over 55 million visitors came to the Big Apple last year, there is so much to see, do, and eat that even the most ambitious tourist would have to be picky. For those that make a home in the city that never sleeps, it’s often difcult to break out of routine and see the city with the fresh eyes of a visitor. Whether you’re just stopping through or you’ve never left, we’ve compiled all the must-dos from 2015 for you to add to this year’s bucket list. New York is widely known as one of the world’s most expensive and cutthroat cities, the healthy competition created by the constant turnover means that only the best businesses, exhibits, shows, and restaurants can aford to keep up with the demands of the bustling and discerning New York clientele. As a result, those that have made it through the year enter 2016 as the cream of the crop—time tested and trial-approved by the country’s most opinionated crowds, who have long been seen as determiners of global culture stemming out from New York. So, instead of starting a new diet or quitting a bad habit this New Year, we invite you to join us in a year of living, New

Why not embrace their mission of “feeling good in the city and your clothes” this year, by popping into their Prince Street location? With the highest concentration of its stores based in NYC, H&M (1328 Broadway) is no stranger to Manhattan, but the brand afrmed its place in the Big Apple with the construction of its monumental fagship in Herald Square last year. At 63,000 square feet, the store is the largest in the world, housing the traditional clothing oferings along with H&M Home, and a shoe department. The sheer variety alone makes it worth braving the Herald Square crowds to visit a true one-stop shop for afordable fashion for the whole family. Lastly, make sure even your basics get an elegant upgrade, by turning to Made-in-US brands like Velvet by Graham & Spencer (1133 ) tees. It’s no surprise that a collection designed and manufactured in Los Angeles would epitomize the city’s laidback and luxe vibe. The Manhattan store, placed on Madison Avenue in the heart of the Upper East Side, channels the clean beachy vibe of California with a light wood interior and organized racks.

t’s a good time to be a hockey fan in New York ICity. The Rangers closed out 2015 with an exciting run through the playofs before losing a heartbreaking Game 7 to the Tampa Bay Lightning. Getting so close to the Stanley Cup the past few seasons has made the team stronger, and with their star goalie Henrik Lundqvist still in net, the Blueshirts may be able to go all the way this season. Across town, the New York Islanders are in the middle of their inaugural season at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center. Separated by a subway ride, the rivalry may be even more intense than ever, with a possible postseason matchup looming in the near future. New York City was in the basketball spotlight last year, as the NBA All-Star Game was held at Madison Square Garden, home of the Knicks, while other weekend festivities were held at the home of the Brooklyn Nets, the Barclays Center. This year, the focus is on the local teams: Carmelo Anthony has returned from an injury-flled year to team with exciting rookie Kristaps Porzingas to lead the Knicks back towards the top of their division. In Brooklyn, Brook Lopez is becoming a star for the Nets, and continues to put up impressive stats every game. The present and future are looking bright in NYC! 2015 NBA All Star Game at Madison Square Garden ourteen years after 9/11, Ground Zero has been rebuilt to host the One World FObservatory, which opened last year atop the 104-story skyscraper on the former site of the Twin Towers. At 1,776 feet, the building is the nation’s tallest, providing an incredible view extending 50 miles past the skyline of the city. Visitors can see all fve boroughs, as well as the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. On a clear day, the perspective ofers one of the most stunning views of NYC from above. The center has become a magnet for visitors from around the world, ofering not only a unique view of the city, but also serving as a symbol of the pride and resilience of New York. On a lighter note, the SNL 40th anniversary show was one of the year’s most watched television events, but the rich history of the beloved comedy show extends far beyond the special. For those who might never get to sit in the coveted audience seats, an Saturday Nigth Live: The Exhibition opened last year at Premier Exhibitions (417 Fifth Ave.), packed with SNL memorabilia, history, and even original sets from famous skits. This is your chance to take a selfe from behind the Weekend Update desk, hop on the Wayne’s World couch, and interact with a variety of other props and costumes. If you brave the crowds at Times Square, the attractions unique interactive exhibits at Discovery Times Square are worth the visit. For Star Wars fans, the current exhibition showcases an array of famous costumes, celebrating the connection between costume and character. Check out more than 70 original costumes, including favorites like Darth Vader and Chewbacca, to characters from the latest chapter, The Force Awakens. Lastly, called the new Whitney Museum a “cultural anchor” at the base of the High Line, where 63,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor galleries allow the museum to customize their expanding gallery needs in a modern, industrial site. The dramatic architecture complements the contemporary Meatpacking neighborhood, and furnishes entertainment and awe for even the most museum-reluctant visitor.

hile it may be cold outside this month, instead of fghting the chill, try embracing it! New York is a winter wonderland in January, with a wealth of ways to channel Wyour inner Jack Frost both indoors and out. Whether you want to watch some action on ice or participate yourself, there are prime places all over town for strapping on skates (or watching others do so with a warm beverage in hand!). Here, three of our favorite cool cold BE COOL weather activities will keep you engaged. Rivalry on Ice: Harvard vs. Quinnipiac at MSG WHEN IT'S COLD It’s no surprise that college hockey is serious business here in the northern United States, and this year, a pair of conference rivals will take to the ice at the world’s most famous arena, Madison Square Garden: Massachusetts’ Harvard Crimson versus Connecticut’s Don't let the cool weather deter you Quinnipiac Bobcats. The last and only time that Quinnipiac played at MSG was back in 2003 from any of these fun activities vs. UCONN, so expect Connecticut fans to emerge en masse to root, root, root for their home team as they take on Harvard’s stable of NHL prospects, a favorite to make it to the Frozen Four for the frst time since 1994. The action starts at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, January 9, with tickets available online that range from nosebleed to rink-side seats. Can’t get enough? The game is actually a double-header, so stick around to see a patriotic exhibition game between Army and Navy following the conference action. (rivalryonice.com)

The Rink at BrookfIeld Place On the banks of the Hudson River, beneath the sweeping shadow of One World Trade Center, The Rink at Brookfeld Place is a New Yorker’s ice skating rink, a nice alternative to the immensely popular destinations like or Central Park. Expect shorter lines and more time on the ice, plus views that rival anywhere in the world of the lower Manhattan skyline and the river. Want to refne your technique? Olympians Melissa Gregory and Denis Petkhov ofer skating lessons for kids and adults. And when you’re done practicing your fgure- eights and pirouettes, warm up at the food court inside, home to a diverse range of some of the city’s fnest food stands. We like to start with a hot chocolate, of course, from Financier Patisserie; if it’s a full meal you’re after, you can’t beat the hearty barbecue at Mighty Quinn’s or a gooey grilled cheese from Little Muenster. (250 Vesey St.)

Celsius at Bryant Park When a rink alone won’t do, there’s the winter paradise that is Celsius at Bryant Park, a pop- up playground featuring a bi-level cocktail bar, a holiday shopping village loaded with local artisans, and yes – an ice rink, one of the city’s most afordable, surrounded by the towering trees and even taller skyscrapers that make Bryant Park one of New York’s most iconic open spaces. The rink hosts frequent performances, as well as open skates, so if hitting the ice isn’t your thing, slip into Parka, the on-site cocktail lounge, and warm up with a libation or two, then wander the shops and stock up on gifts to bring home (or for yourself!). Fancy a good read? Bryant Park is adjacent to the New York Public Library, a great place to curl up with a book and warm up after your outdoor adventure. (40 W. 42nd St.)

hen the weather outside is frightful, it means it’s time to shop for a great new coat. No matter if you’re out to brave the elements in the Alps or on the odes to Wavenues, these four outerwear brands with legacies of quality and style will have you covered—in every sense of the word.

Filled with dark furnishings and antique fxtures, Belstaf may seem at odds with its homey surrounds on the Upper East Side. But then again, the British brand has always had a knack for being slightly rebellious. Back when its jackets were strictly designed with purpose in mind, wearers included the likes of Amelia Earhart and Che Outerwear Guevara; since 2012 when Martin Cooper—formerly of Burberry—redesigned the brand Thanks to these labels, staying warm has never looked so good to append its garments’ function with chic new form, motorcycle-inspired vests and coats have been seen on the likes of David Beckham and Sarah Jessica Parker. Heavy wool peacoats and furry parkas, leatherwear and the brand’s signature four-pocket waxed- cotton jackets now fll out new collections, along with small menswear and womenswear lines of undeniably badass separates. Keep an eye out for a capsule collection designed by Liv Tyler coming in February. (Madison Ave. nr. 68th St.)

For those getting ready to hit the slopes, snowboard brand Burton’s Soho fagship is the place to gear up. From boots, boards, and helmets to insulating feeces, snowsuits, and water-resistant softshells, Burton is hard to beat when it comes to top-quality wears for snow sports. That said, the brand’s attention to casual fashion gives its pieces a punkish air with bold colors, plaids, and silhouettes that make building a collection of winterwear as fun as it is necessary for serious snowbunnies—or anyone, for that © Maroz | Dreamstime.com - S matter. Hoodies, beanies, tees, and special guest-designer capsule collections are equally appropriate for around town as they are for après-ski activities. (Spring St. at Mercer St.)

Few outerwear brands cater to such a wide range of customers and lifestyles as The North Face. From middle-schoolers keeping warm in the winter with its pastel feeces to high-adventure hikers, climbers, and mountaineers in need of the latest, lightest equipment, The North Face has risen to the top of its market primarily by unwaveringly sticking to its ethos—creating high-performance goods through sustainable practices that include using recycled materials, a commitment to great working conditions, and k ier S reducing its carbon footprint. It also ofers one of the widest ranges of goods of any

k outdoor brand with apparel and gear for every type of adventure sport, from running to iing Downhill Sunset Against In High Mountains Photo free climbing. Arrange for a special consultation if you need help navigating the array. (Broadway at 73rd St.) Testament to the phrase “quality over quantity,” many will claim that though the selection may be limited, the caliber of Patagonia’s goods is the highest of any brand. Known for its pared-down, life-proof goods, Patagonia is best for those wanting to brave the outdoors with simple comfort—no bells and whistles, but a guarantee that you’ll be well prepared to face whatever element you’re venturing to face. Although the brand carries just about everything one could need for outdoor survival, the selection is limited, making up for its lack of options with chic designs and made with the most technologically innovative fabrics and materials on the market. It’s working. In the same way Birkenstocks are now seen on Street Style blogs, Patagonia—for better or worse— has earned the moniker Patagucci for its high-end clients sporting its furry feeces and shiny pufers.
