`
`HEADLINE: Woody Allen's Manhattan: Every picture tells his story; Matthew Hoffman builds a guide to
`New York from the films and haunts of its most famous movle—maker
`
`BYLINE: By MATTHEW HOFFMAN
`
`BODY:
`
`"HE adored New York City. He romanticised it all out of proportion. To him, no matter what the season was,
`this was still a city that existed in black and white and pulsated to the tunes of Gershwin."
`
`Manhattan
`
`Woody Allen's love affair with New York is legendary: a legend created by himseif, and exemplified both in
`his personal life and in the characters he plays in his films. This is the man who refused to go to Hollywood
`to receive an Oscar, but spent that Monday night as usual: playing clarinet at Michael's Pub (211 East 55th
`St). Perhaps that was for public consumption, but what about refusing to go to Vermont to shoot a scene
`for September, and insisting Vermont be reconstructed in New York?
`
`Somewhere in Allen, the line between self— conscious parody and self—absorbed obsession has been blurred,
`but in any case to follow Woody Allen along that line is to see New York City as it appears in the minds of a
`million New Yorkers. I say a million only, because despite the familiarity of Allen's imagery - Times Square,
`Central Park, the Brooklyn Bridge — his New York is not that of millions more: the blacks of Harlem and
`Bedford Stuyvesant; the Long Island commuters to midtown offices; the psychotic loners, junkies and
`homeless street—peop|e.
`
`No one ever gets mugged in a Woody Allen film. He leaves that city for Scorsese and Lumet and other film
`directors to explore. But Allen's New York is a lovable one, and the one that the visitor to New York might
`most wish to find. It consists of foods, music, bookshops, cinemas, and, most of all, streets that typify the
`city's romance with itself. I feel particularly close to this vision of New‘ York: like Allen I have my roots in a
`lower-middle-class Jewish part of Brooklyn that always looked to Manhattan for the best corned beef
`sandwiches, the smartest women and the swiftest action: for the Big Apple.
`
`Start with food: New York is a city of restaurants. A few years ago you could be guaranteed to find Allen
`nearly every weekday night eating at Elaine's, an Italian restaurant on the Upper East Side (1703 Second
`Ave) with two dining-rooms each seating about 70 to 80 people. In the summer of 1981, I went there with
`a friend for dinner after a movie. We sat in the second dining—room, the one where Yale (Michael Murphy)
`and his wife Elaine (Anne Byrne) eat with Tracy (Mariel Hemingway) and Isaac (Allen) after the opening
`credits in Manhattan. At one point, I had to go to the gents, which was at the back of the first room. As I
`approached the passageway leading to it, I found myself exchanging nods with Allen himself, who was
`

`
`sitting with Mia Farrow and another couple at what I would have taken to be the worst table in the place.
`(An odd experience that: stumbling upon someone you know only from the media and nodding hello before
`you realise that you don't really know them.) The food at Elaine's, by the way, is unremarkable.
`
`As you can learn from the dialogue in Lawrence Kasdan's The Big Chill, Elaine's is no longer the "in" spot.
`Although Allen is said still to eat there occasionally, his favourite place now is Pearl's, a very good midtown
`Chinese restaurant (38 West 48th Street) — the lemon chicken is particularly recommended. There is also a
`family— run Italian restaurant in East Harlem called Rao's (455 E 114th St), where A|len—spotters report
`sightings.
`
`Isaac in Manhattan takes his small son to the Russian Tea Room (150 W 57th St) and jokes about the two
`of them picking up women. This is also the restaurant where Dustin Hoffman meets his agent In Tootsie. In
`real life, Allen never goes to the RTR, but I do; the menu is exotic, the atmosphere is glitzy, and the other
`patrons are fun to watch.
`
`In Manhattan, Yale tells Mary that he doesn't want to go on seeing her any more at the Stanhope Cafe,
`across from the Metropolitan Museum (80th St and Fifth Ave). Except for Thanksgiving meals (which, as in
`Hannah and Her Sisters, are served at home), New Yorkers meet in restaurants to socialise. A friend of
`mine recently had a new kitchen installed at her Greenwich Village mews house. When she instructed her
`interior decorator to widen the counter top to make it easier to chop vegetables, she was met by the
`incredulous question: "You mean you're going to cook?"
`
`Nonetheless, when New Yorkers do cook, or at least shop for food, they do so in delicatessens. Among the
`best, and the most famous, is Zabar's on the Upper W Side (2245 Broadway). In Manhattan, Mary (Diane
`Keaton) and Isaac go here, and when some Africans wearing dashikis come out, Isaac does a double-take.
`(Incidentally, the lox — smoked salmon - here is as good as it gets.) If you want the best pastrami or corned
`beef sandwich in town, go to the Carnegie Delicatessen (854 Seventh Ave). In Broadway Danny Rose, Allen
`interviews its now deceased owner, who talks about the time Khrushchev came in for a sandwich. The
`customers are seated together at long tables, and talk gladly to strangers.
`
`Streets. New York is perceived by its inhabitants as a series of "neighbourhoods". Although the streets of
`New York are known far and wide for their squalor, mugging and random violence, in the neighbourhoods
`Allen frequents they retain their safety and even a kind of human warmth. When Mickey (Allen) in Hannah
`and Her Sisters comes reeling out of Mt Sinai Hospital with fears of a brain tumour, he walks along the Fifth
`Avenue side of Central Park trying to comfort himself: "Nothing‘s going to happen to you. You're in the
`middle of New York City. This is your town. You're surrounded by people and traffic and restaurants."
`
`In his films, Allen returns regularly to a few of the most prosperous neighbourhoods: SoHo, Greenwich
`Village, the Upper West Side, the Upper East Side, and Midtown. In real life, he is a regular walker of the
`streets of the city, never taking a taxi, although all the cab drivers know him, and will often shout to him,
`"Hi Woody". He walks less these days then he used to, and will usually have his chauffeur-driven white
`Ro|ls—Royce waiting for him nearby.
`
`If you are looking for Allen, here are a few hints. He often disguises himself with a hat pulled down low,
`and even a false nose and moustache, but he is so well known for this outfit that he is easily recognised.
`He always wears those smal|~ checked plaid shirts that his characters sport in the films. During the season
`(winter), he attends New York Knicks basketball games at Madison Square Garden (Seventh Ave and 33rd
`St), particularly when the race is close (in Annie Hall, as Alvy Singer, he annoys his second wife by
`abandoning a literary party to watch a Knicks game on TV in the bedroom).
`
`Allen and his father (who never misses a game) have reserved seats near the court. Allen employs no
`disguise at the Garden, but he does wear his familiar black—rimmed glasses. On Sunday afternoons he often
`takes his two—year—old son, Satchel, for a walk across Central Park (around 97th St), from his apartment on
`Fifth Avenue to that of Mia Farrow, who lives on the opposite side (in The Langharn, 135 Central Park
`West). He also takes Satchel to the Central Park Children's Zoo.

`
`During the week, he can be seen walking along Central Park South or 57th Street to the office of his
`producers, Rollins Joffe (130 W 57th St), or various cutting-rooms, etc. (Allen deals with his fame by
`walking quickly and talking to no one on the streets; he answers all questions with a single word: "No".
`New Yorkers respect his privacy and don't mob him when they see him in public. At Michael's Pub he stays
`on the bandstand between sets and avoids eye contact.)
`
`Favourite places. In Hannah, architect David (Sam Waterston) takes Holly and her friend April (Carrie
`Fisher) on a tour of his favourite buildings, which include the Dakota (1 W 72nd St), the city's first luxury
`apartment house (1884); Pomander Walk (W 94th and 95th Sts between Broadway and West End Avenue);
`the Chrysler Building (405 Lexington Ave, corner of E 42nd St) with its famous gargoyles below its tapering
`tower; the mossy, ship— style windows of the Beaux Arts New York Yacht Club (37 W 44th) and the
`Bavarian-style red—brick Jefferson Market Library (Sixth Ave and 9th St). "You know, April, people pass by
`vital structures in this city all the time, and they never take the time to appreciate them," says David.
`
`Among the vital structures loved by Allen are the cast-iron buildings of SoHo (the one- time industrial area
`south of Houston Street). Broome and Spring Streets are now inhabited by artists like Frederick (Max Von
`Sydow), who lives with Hannah's sister Lee (Barbara Hershey). Hannah's husband Elliot (Michael Caine)
`hangs around these streets hoping to bump into Lee, and when he does, the two go around the corner to
`the Pageant Book Shop (9th St between Third and Fourth Aves), where Lee buys Hannah a book ofe e
`cummings's poems. (cummings lived not far away, in the West Village, in Patchin Place.)
`
`Greenwich Village itself often appears in Ai|en's films. He ioves the traditional Bedford, Commerce and
`Grove Streets in the West Village. And it is in West 4th Street, between Washington Square and Sixth
`Avenue, that Alvy stops a couple of "beautiful people" in Annie Hall to ask them why they look so happy.
`They explain. She: "I'm very shallow and empty, and I have no ideas and nothing interesting to say." He:
`"And I'm exactly the same way."
`
`Allen sets his characters down in locations that show New York in its classic form: elegant and haunting,
`luminous by sunset or electric light. Allen's New York lingers in the mind as a montage sequence,
`remembered randomly and affectionately: the black—and- white shots of the midtown skyline accompanied
`by the strains of Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue; the Carlyle Cafe (Madison Ave and E 76th St), where Mickey
`and Holly (Diane Wiest) listen to Bobby Short sing Cole Porter; the Museum of Modern Art sculpture
`garden, where Bella Abzug addresses a fund-raiser for the Equal Rights Amendment; and, famously, the
`picture (above) of Allen and Diane Keaton in the shadow of the Queensborough Bridge at dawn, where
`Isaac says, "This is really a great city, I'm knocked out".

`
`BODY:
`
`EASTER weekend invites the indulgence of a leisurely late-morning or late-afternoon pastry with a coffee or
`tea. While New York cannot boast the number of eat-in bakeries or pastry shops found in European cities, it
`nonetheless has its share. Here is a sampling, divided geographically; shops on the West Side and East
`Side of Manhattan are listed from north to south.
`
`West Side
`
`in the shadow of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, is a gathering place
`The HUNGARIAN PASTRY SHOP,
`for Columbia University students and has a certain literary atmosphere. Frilly glass lamp shades and a
`changing display of paintings by Yianni Posnakoff, one of the owners, add Old World charm. Among the
`shop's Hungarian specialties are Rigo Jansci, a thick, bittersweet chocolate cake, and a Berliner, a compact
`square of chocolate, rum, raisins and nuts topped with apricot jam. There is also a gargantuan cinnamon
`roll — "for the students," a waitress said, as if they might need that much nourishment to pass the next
`exam. A "bottomless" cup of coffee for $1.20 is an indicator that you may linger as long as you choose, in
`the European tradition.
`
`The Hungarian Pastry Shop is at 1030 Amsterdam Avenue, at 111th Street (866-4230). Pastries cost $1 to
`$2. Tea is 95 cents; espresso, $1.75; cappuccino, $2. Mondays through Fridays, B A.M. to 11:30 P.M.;
`Saturdays, 9 A.M. to 11:30 P.M.; Sundays, 9 A.M. to 10 P.M.
`
`On Saturdays and Sundays, SARABETH'S KITCHENsets aside a dessert hour from 4 to 5 P.M. In the cafe
`area up front, with its tiled floor and faux wainscoting, are seven tables where you can contemplate the
`selection from the pastry counter. Sarabeth's is known for its chunky fruit jams — peach—apricot, orange-
`apricot and iemon-pear - so you might ask for a warmed croissant, which comes with a choice ofjam.
`Other possibilities are a slice of moist sour-cream Budapest cake with a swirl of cinnamon and a hint of
`ground walnuts; crisp shortbread cookies in the shape of a clove, or a sponge cake oozing with chocoiate
`mousse and served with sabayon sauce.
`
`Sarabeth's Kitchen is at 423 Amsterdam Avenue, at 80th Street (496-6280). Pastries range from $1 to $4.
`Coffee is $1.25; tea, $2; espresso, $2.50; cappuccino, $3; homemade hot chocolate, $3.50.
`
`ZABAR'S,the New York delicatessen on many tourists’ sightseeing lists, has just transformed its adjoining
`premises from a rustic pastry shop into a sparkling white setting. The idea is to emulate a European coffee
`bar with waist-high standup counters are set up along one wall and in the middle of the shop. (It also
`discourages lingering, which customers were inclined to do when there were tables.) Zabar's own Danish

`
`rolls and croissants will be available, as well as a selection of pastries from a number of bakers in the city,
`among them Dumas. Eli Zabar's ubiquitous and addictive sourdough raisin pecan rolls are also a staple,
`and at 30 cents each, they are a bargain.
`
`Zabar's is at 2245 Broadway, at 80th Street (787-2000). Croissants and Danish cost 98 cents; muffins, 89
`cents; pastries average $2. Coffee and espresso are 75 cents; cappuccino, $1.50. Mondays through
`Saturdays, 8 A.M. to 7 P.M.; Sundays, 9 A.M. to 6 P.M.
`
`For half a century, local residents have counted on ECLAIRfor the likes of goulash and Sachertorte. Beyond
`the pastry counter in the front of the shop is a dining area where you can hole up anytime. The best of the
`pastries are a moist chocolate brownie with a fresh peach topping, and a flat little crunchy square of
`chestnut cake.
`
`Eclair is at 141 West 72d Street (873-7700). Pastries cost $2 to $3. Coffee is 75 cents; espresso $1.10;
`cappuccino $2; a teapot, 90 cents. Daily, 8 A.M. to midnight.
`
`Blasts of warm air with the irresistible aromas of pie-baking announce that you have arrived at THE LITTLE
`PIE COMP/-‘».NY.The window offers a view of the kitchen. Inside the trim and spotless little shop are seven
`plump red stools at a counter beneath a giant wall clock, and from spring through fall, tables and chairs are
`installed outdoors under the arcade. Among the slices of pie available, the outstanding one is the shop's
`signature sour-cream apple walnut pie with brown-sugar topping. Other choices include Key lime, old-
`fashioned apple, pecan and walnut fudge. Seasonal fruit pies are exceptional, among them cherry,
`blueberry and peach.
`
`The Little Pie Company is at 424 West 43d Street (736-4780). A slice of sour-cream apple walnut pie is
`$3.25; other slices, $3. Coffee, $1; espresso, $1.25; cappuccino, $2.25; tea, 80 cents. Mondays through
`Fridays, 8 A.M. to 7:30 P.M.; Saturdays, 10 A.M. to 6 P.M.; Sundays, noon to 5 P.M. (closed on Easter
`Sunday).
`
`Two doors away is GOOD AND PLENTY,a pretty pastel—and—cream-colored catering and takeout shop, where
`the food preparation is also enticingiy in evidence. Tables and chairs are set out under the arcade in
`clement weather. Homemade pastries include one of the best scones in town, tender and glossy; speckled
`cheddar biscuits; a moist and lemony slice of pound cake, and meltingly tender linzer tarts.
`
`Good and Plenty is at 410 West 43d Street (268-4385). Pastries range from $1.50 to $2.25. Coffee is 65
`cents. Mondays through Fridays, 10 A.M. to 8 P.M.; Saturdays, 11 A.M. to 6 P.M.; Sundays, noon to 5 P.M.
`
`The average passer-by would never guess the quality of goods that lie within the nondescript CUPCAKE
`CAFE, on a rather dreary stretch of Ninth Avenue. Despite its name, the big attraction here is the slender
`homemade doughnuts that emerge warm every morning. The most outstanding is the crunchy, nutty
`oatmeal-and-whole-wheat version, though the buttermilk and orange who|e—wheat doughnuts should not
`be overlooked. A minimal amount of sugar is used in the dough, and one feels virtuous even when taking
`two. There are also muffins, cupcakes and fruit pies, but if you are going to forgo the doughnuts, try a slab
`of harvest pecan cake with lemon glaze. The shop seats 16, and customers tend to linger.
`
`Cupcake Cafe is at 522 Ninth Avenue, at 39th Street (465-1530). Doughnuts cost 60 cents; muffins, $1.25;
`cupcakes, $1.50; harvest pecan cake $1.25. Coffee and tea are 60 cents; cappuccino is $2. Mondays
`through Fridays, 7:30 A.M. to 7:30 P.M.; Saturdays, 8 A.M. to 7 P.M.; Sundays 10 A.M. to 6 P.M. (closed
`on Easter Sunday).

`
`For premier French pastries, there is LES DELICES GUY PASCAL,a cheerful setting with sparkling white walls
`and brown trim, mirrors and a baker's dozen of tables with flowery Provencal tablecloths. The delices, the
`shop's trademark pastry, is an almond ring filled with chocolate mousse, mocha and whipped cream. A
`ganache goes right to the heart of chocoiate-lovers. You could pass up these riches for a simple and

`
`Across from the pastry counter at SANT AMBROEUS,an elegant shop, is a small stand—up marbleized bar.
`Here is one of the best croissants in town, a dense, buttery, tight twist with a sheen. Equally good is a
`honey-glazed version with the crunch of nuts and raisins, or a loose twist of the same dough with an
`apricot jam filling. Among the pastries are a delicious pear—anci-custard tart on a cookie crust and a dense
`ricotta cheesecake.

`
`Sitting at one of the tables at JON VIE,a spruce but nondescript shop, you can gaze at the stream of
`pedestrians coming and going along the Avenue of the Americas, where Jon Vie has been in business for 28
`years. There is an international selection of pastries, as well as ingredients. The owner says he buys
`raspberries from Hungary, peaches from California, apricots from Turkey, pine nuts from China. Jon Vie's
`signature item is a fine, oversized al|—butter cookie with icing in a different motif each month: snowmen,
`shamrocks, Valentines and so forth.
`
`Jon Vie is at 492 Avenue of the Americas, at 12th Street (242-4440). Pastries cost from $3 to $3.50;
`cookies, $17.75 a pound (the large butter cookie is $2.25 to $2.75). Coffee or tea (unlimited refill) is $1;

`Tucked on a quiet residential street, i_ANCIANIis a cozy shop with opaque glass-block partitions. There are
`slices of elegant creations iike Charlene Bianche, a Grand Marnier-flavored sponge cake with chocolate
`mousse ringed with lady fingers and crowned with fresh strawberries. Favorites, however, are the

`warmed.

`
`Although VENIERO‘Smay fall into the category of cafe, no guide to eat—in pastry shops would be complete
`without an Italian pasticceria, of which this is foremost. Established in 1894, it is still owned and operated
`by the Veniero family. The only change over the years has been the addition six years ago of an adjoining
`warm enclave, with a ceiling of stained-glass panels and the original pressed tin.
`
`A myriad of Italian pastries, all baked on the premises, is on hand. A favorite, which can be ordered
`warmed up, is sfogliatelle, a pastry in the shape of a delicately fluted shell from which one could imagine
`Venus herself emerging instead of the filling of sweet ricotta cheese and Citron. Other temptations are a
`light miile foglie, a thick stack of flaky pastry layers and Bavarian cream, and a piurnp almond tart
`encrusted with pine nuts. On major holidays, the shop is chockablock with festive treats, but even lesser
`feasts, like St. Joseph's Day, brings out such specials as sfingi and zeppole, huge deep-fried puffs of crinkly
`dough with cannoli filling and custard cream, respectively.
`
`Veniero‘s is at 342 East 11th Street (674-7264). Pastries cost $1.50 to $3. Coffee and tea is 75 cents;
`espresso, $1; cappuccino, $1.50. Daily, 8 A.M. to midnight; on Easter Sunday, the hours will be 8 A.M. to 4

`
`DEAN & DELUCA,the handsome gourmet store, has a coffee bar with an appealing array of pastries.

`here is white hot chocolate with a slice of either pannetone or panforte.
`
`Dean & DeLuca is at 560 Broadway, at Prince Street (431-1691). White hot chocolate with pannetone or
`panforte costs $1.75; pastries are $1.50 to $2.75. Coffee and tea cost 85 cents; espresso, $1.25;

`
`Pastry shops abound in the Greek community of Astoria. The most Old World of all is VICTORY SWEET
`SHOP. Somewhat resembling a small-town luncheonette, it has a single counter with five stools and a
`selection of bubble gum, Hershey bars, M 8: M's and Milky Ways. However, its fascination lies in the row of
`glass-lidded bins of homemade pastries. The cookies called amigdalota, which look mundane, are delicious,
`with a crunchy crust with slivered almonds and a chewy, moist interior. The diamond-shaped cookies called
`kourambledes are buried in a snowbank of powdered sugar; don't exhale when you bite in. Baklava comes
`in appealing miniature versions. No English is spoken; point and count with your fingers.
`
`Victory Sweet Shop is at 28-05 23d Avenue (718-932-0027). A large baklava costs $1.10; small baklava,
`$5 a pound; cookies average $6 a pound. Coffee is 50 cents. (Greek coffee, however, is unavailable.)
`Mondays through Saturdays, 6 A.M. to 8 P.M.; Sundays, 8 A.M. to 8 P.M.
`
`In striking contrast is the GALAXY, perhaps the most sophisticated cafe in the neighborhood. With its
`glittery chandeliers, mirrors, marble-top tables and background of Greek music, it has something of the
`atmosphere of a nightspot (which, indeed, it is, since it is open until 2 A.M.). The tiny baklava, in little rolls
`or quarter-size circles, are first-rate. Among the cookies is a small circular version with a chocolate center,
`which leaves the fingers sticky from the clipping it in honey syrup.
`
`Galaxy is at 37-11 30th Avenue (718-545-3181). Miniature baklava and cookies cost $5 a pound. Coffee is
`$1.30; cappuccino, $3; Greek coffee, $1.80. Daily, 6:30 A.M. until 2 A.M.
`
`OMONIAis a popular spot that sometimes stays open until 5 A.M. ("It's a hoppin' place," the waitress said.)
`Tables wrap around the corner, with a skylight overhead. Greek music accompanies the chatter of
`customers. Perhaps the most outstanding pastry is ekmek kataife, which has a bottom layer of shredded
`wheat, honey and nuts, topped by a custard cream that is in turn topped with whipped cream and toasted
`almonds - a wonderful combination of dense sweetness and lightness.
`
`Ornonia is at 32-20 Broadway (718-274-6650 or 718-728-3583). Pastries cost $2 to $3 (ekmek kataife,
`$3.50). Coffee is $1.55; espresso, $2.45; cappuccino, $2.95. Daily, 8 A.M. u
