“The classic “where should we go tonight” argument can be avoided here. Bamboo 52 has something for everyone which means everyone from smokers to picky friends will be happy. A bar up front serves frozen ‘ritas and coladas, while a sushi bar at center square feeds the zen seekers in your party. Step into the rear lounge filled with leather ottomans for a more intimate vibe, and wave to the sun worshipers camped in the outdoor garden. The one thing that brings you all together, besides friendship of course? The daily happy hour from 12 p.m. to 9 p.m.”

“Actress and comedian who has maintained a solid career in both mediums. She has had roles in films such as “The Truth About Cats and Dogs”, “Steal This Movie”, “Copland,” “Reality Bites,” and on TV on “The Larry Sanders Show” and soon “24.” Her comedy is always topical and politically tinged.”

1. Conde Nast Building

4 Times Square, Manhattan, by Fox & Fowle Architects, 1996-1999. This 866-foot-tall skyscraper in the heart of Times Square is what Bell calls “environmentally correct,” with state-of-the-art air quality and energy conservation systems.

2. Brooklyn Museum

Entry pavilion and plaza, 200 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, by James Stewart Polshek, 2004. The glass and steel circular structure modernized the museum’s imposing 19th century Beaux Arts facade while making it inviting and accessible, a suitable centerpiece for Brooklyn’s burgeoning hipster art scene.

3. Prada New York

575 Broadway, near Prince Street, Manhattan, by Rem Koolhaas, 2001. A wave of zebrawood is the centerpiece of Prada’s flagship store, in Soho. “It displays the merchandise, it doesn’t sell it.”

4. Rose Center for Earth and Space

At the American Museum of Natural History, Central Park West at 79th Street, Manhattan, by James Stewart Polshek, 2000. This illuminated 87-foot-diameter sphere, which appears to be floating in a huge glass cube, houses the Hayden Planetarium and Space Theater.

5. Apple Store SoHo

103 Prince St., Manhattan, by Ronnette Riley and Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, 2002, with Apple’s creative team, including CEO Steve Jobs and others. If you’re looking for the Apple Store on Prince Street, you’ll be forgiven for doing a double take or maybe even walking right past it. The exterior is a 1920s stone and brick post office, with the original “STATION A” signage above the entrance. The inside is distinguished by clean, white space and an inviting glass staircase to a glass bridge upstairs.

6. Grand Central Terminal

42nd Street and Park Avenue, Manhattan, by Reed & Stern and Warren & Wetmore, 1903-1913, restored by Beyer, Blinder & Belle, 1998. The famed train station’s Beaux Arts Classical design is known for its arches, clock, constellation ceiling and cathedral windows. The building’s beauty was restored in a project completed in 1998, and the corridors were enlivened with exhibition space and interesting places to eat and shop. Free tours ($10 suggested donation) sponsored by the Municipal Arts Society, Wednesdays, 12:30 p.m.; meet at the information booth on the main concourse.

7. Morgan Library Expansion

(Click to see images)

33 E. 36th St., at Fifth Avenue, Manhattan, Renzo Piano, 2006. Piano’s expansion of the Morgan Library, a 1906 Beaux Arts building designed by McKim, Mead & White, is considered one of his masterpieces, with glass walls linking the old and new.

8. Chrysler Building

405 Lexington Ave., at 42nd Street, Manhattan, by William Van Alen, 1930. This building is not as well-known as the Empire State Building, but Bell thinks it should be (even though it doesn’t have a public observation deck). It’s a phenomenal example of Art Deco architecture that is both elegant and fun, from the distinctive tiered crown, easily picked out from the city skyline, to the enormous gargoyles shaped like radiator caps.

9. Hearst Tower

951-969 Eighth Ave., near 56th Street, Manhattan, by Sir Norman Foster, 2004. This 42-story tower was built atop the original six-story home of the Hearst media empire. The diagonal gridwork and see-through glass panels, with no vertical supporting columns, make this sleek design unique in the world.

10. Seagram Building

375 Park Ave., near 53rd Street, by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Philip Johnson (design architects) and Kahn & Jacobs (associate architects), 1958. “It was this building that transformed our skyline.” The building is a perfect glass box, elegantly proportioned and set back 90 feet from the street.

Park Avenue Spring Restaurant that is! Chef Craig Koketsu will wow you with new dishes created just for Spring.

“Elves worked diligently—over 48 hours—to morph Park Avenue Winter’s white wonder- land into a lush English garden, complete with brass wall panels, deep-green banquettes and a flora centerpiece. The chef has touched up the menu accordingly, with springtastic fare like cirtus-fruit tartare and grilled lamb chops with apricots and mint garden salad.
