Апрель, месяц цветения – нежный и ласковый, солнечный и яркий. Проводите как можно больше времени в парках, любуйтесь природой, вдыхайте ароматы весны и радуйтесь каждому весеннему мгновению. Рабочие будни не позволяют нам жить в унисон с природой, но подстроиться под ее ритм, ну хотя бы немножечко, мы, просто обязаны. Не доезжайте одну остановку до работы, выходите из метро и идите пешком, вырывайтесь из офиса на обеденный перерыв не в кафе, а в парк или на лавочку под деревьями в каком-то ближайшем чахлом скверике – даже это позволит вам наблюдать лично приход весны, а не читать о нем в интернете, рассматривая чужие фотографии. А после захода солнца можно придаться и другим удовольствиям, которыми так богат апрель в Нью-Йорке. В апреле по улицам Манхеттена промарширует 8 различных парадов. Это, еще один повод выйти из помещения, если не для участия, то хотя бы для того чтобы понаблюдать за этими красочными и жизнерадостными шествиями. Выставки цветов и арт шоу, танцевальные фестивали и балетные спектакли, романтическая музыка и фестивали фильмов, бродвейские премьеры и джазовые концерты – все это позволит вам насладится весной в Нью-Йорке в полное свое удовольствие.
