If you want to actually hear the songs in Broadway’s “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” you may have a problem. When teen heartthrob Nick Jonas took over the role of J. Pierrepont Finch (from Daniel Radcliffe) he brought throngs of girl fans with him, hence inciting squeals and screams any time he opens his mouth. But at least you can still watch him dance. The high-kicking, hip-swiveling number, “Brotherhood of Man” is “really intense,” Jonas tells The Post. But Jonas, the youngest member of sibling trio the Jonas Brothers, is no stranger to the stage, having played Tiny Tim in “A Christmas Carol” when he was just 8. When the 19-year-old isn’t creating mass hysteria in Midtown, he’s in Chelsea, sipping lattes or chowing down on pulled pork. This is his New York.
1 Umpire Rock, Central Park
“There’s this area I used to go as a kid. It’s just this big humongous rock. As a kid, I thought it was Mount Everest or something. Even now, when I go back to it, I’m taken back to being a little boy. It’s an incredible spot.”
2 Ports Coffee and Tea Co., 251 W. 23rd St., between Seventh and Eighth avenues
“It’s a really cool hole-in-the-wall coffee shop and the espresso is really good. Sometimes espresso is just, like, a sting — like not a great taste, just a shot of caffeine. This one actually has a great taste. I walked in the other day and asked for a quad latte, and the guy looked at me and said, ‘Ah it’s one of those days, isn’t it?’, I said. ‘Yes, sir, it is.’ ”
3 Beacon Theatre, 2124 Broadway, at 74th Street
“I love the Beacon Theatre. I played there three nights when I was on tour with my band [Nick Jonas & the Administration] in 2010. It’s just a great theater and I really felt like the sound in there was unlike any other venue in New York City. It’s so historical and has a great vibe.”
4 Marriott Marquis, 1535 Broadway
“I take all my friends from out of town there. It gives you the whole view of Times Square without having to go to a rooftop or be right in the thick of it. I usually order a latte. I’m a coffee guy in general.”
5 RUB, 208 W. 23rd St., between Seventh and Eighth avenues
“I was really craving barbecue [one] night, so I went on Google and looked up the best barbecue spot in NYC and this place came up. It’s really good. I’ve been there a few times since — I watched the Giants game there a few weeks ago, which was fun. I get the pulled pork sandwich with some cornbread and hush puppies. That’s my main deal.”
6 Odin, 199 Lafayette St., between Broome and Kenmare streets
“It’s a great spot. The staff is great and the vibe of the store is really cool and the selection is incredible. It’s sort of out of the way, too. I just stumbled upon it. I got a couple of cool button-down shirts and some corduroy pants. Since I look up reviews online so much, I really should write a review for them. I guess this counts.”
7 John’s Pizzeria, 260 W. 44th St., between Broadway and Eighth Avenue
“I’ve loved John’s Pizza ever since I was 8 years old. It’s a special place for my brothers and I; we did our album release party there in 2008. They shut it down for us and let us bring all our friends and we had a celebration. This guy Pete, who works there, has become a good friend and he’s been really good to us over the years. The pizza there is the best in New York.”
8 Chisholm Larsson Gallery, 145 Eighth Ave., between 17th and 18th streets
“It’s a vintage movie and memorabilia poster shop. I really love vintage movie posters. They have a bunch of hand-painted ones from the ’60s. The other day I grabbed a piece from the ’20s; a really cool baseball picture. It’s an amazing painting of a guy on first base about to run to second . . . it’s got a really nice charm to it. My place doesn’t have any pictures on the wall just yet so I’m in the process of decorating.”
9 Highpoint Bistro & Bar, 216 Seventh Ave., between 22nd and 23rd streets
“What I’ve realized is that once you start making a conscious effort to not go somewhere because you wanna go there so much, that’s when you know it’s really good. I’ve had to start going to other places just so I don’t go there every night. I’ve brought all my friends. ‘Not Your Mother’s Meatloaf’ is the dish to go with. It’s the most unbelievable meatloaf you’ve ever had in your life.”
Yankee Stadium, 1 E. 161st St., the Bronx
“I’m a huge Yankees fan, I like both the old and the new stadium equally. I grew up in New Jersey, so I was able to make it to a bunch of games growing up and I have fond memories of sitting in the very, very, very last seat of the first stadium and just screaming my head off and going crazy. Now I sit a little closer to the field, but wherever I sit, I’m still going to enjoy the game.”
