Привет Декабрь!
Всех с наступающими праздниками! С Наступающим Новым годом!
Как многие знают, 1 декабря наш журнал совместно с Art Alliance, открыл праздничный сезон Вернисажем «TALES OF TALENT» – Art, Jewelry and Fashion Exhibition and Trunk Show. Конечно в афише не пишут о прошедших событиях, и мы не станем этого делать, только сообщим, что открытие сезона прошло грандиозно, а это значит, нас ждет прекрасный, радостный, удачный, одним словом блистательный сезон.
И чтобы закончить с информацией о событиях Elegant New York, сообщаем:
21 декабря в Zinc Bar в 7:00 состоится праздничный вечер «Счастливые моменты». Программу вечера сообщим буквально через пару дней, а пока заверим вас (а нам можно доверять, как вы убедились), что гостей ждет незабываемый и необычный вечер.
Так что, мы рекомендуем в декабре в Нью-Йорке? Погода пока стоит относительно теплая, поэтому советуем подняться на смотровую площадку Empire State Building. Не бойтесь быть банальным. Из-за того что это известный туристический объект, он не перестает быть интересным. Именно с вершины этого исторического небоскреба открывается самый праздничный, яркий и грандиозный вид. Советуем прийти туда около 4 вечера и тогда, вы застанете прозрачные голубые сумерки, алый закат и море разноцветных огней. Второе, что мы вам рекомендуем, в декабре, это взять тур в Метрополитен музей, (опять банальность, вы подумали). А вот и нет! Мы предлагаем пойти туда, когда музей будет абсолютно пустой! Представьте, вы встретитесь с прекрасным и вечным наедине! Информацию можно узнать здесь Ну и еще один казалось бы очевидный совет, но вы попробуйте, а потом решите, хуже ли он от того, что лежит на поверхности. Прокатитесь по городу на велорикше, и попросите его показать вам самые красивые витрины и самую впечатляющую иллюминацию города. Лучше всего сделать это после концерта в Линкольн центре, когда на улицах меньше людей и праздничная атмосфера, как декабрьский туман обволакивает самые романтичные и потаенные уголки города.
А подарки советуем покупать в Bryant Park Winter Village
Счастливого вам декабря в Нью-Йорке!
