[box]Ну наконец-то тепло и солнечно, жизнь Нью-Йорка наполняется яркими красками не только в переносном, но и прямом смысле. Все в цвету: кусты, деревья, клумбы – природа манит, а погода шепчет. Поэтому май в Нью-Йорке можно провести непринужденно курсируя между пикниками, фестивалями, перформансами и выставками под открытым небом, дегустируя различную еду, вино и пиво, слушая музыку и наслаждаясь природой и городом в полное свое удовольствие. Но не стоит забывать и о том, что приятное разнообразие в нашу жизнь могут внести высококлассные концерты, театральные представления и музейные экспозиции, а также весенние предпродажные выставки и торги ведущих аукционных домов, о которых мы вам обязательно расскажем подробно. Обратите внимание, что в мае в Нью-Йорке пройдут гастроли Балета Эйфмана из Санкт-Петербурга, гастроли Бориса Гребенщикова и группы “Аквариум”, состоится фестиваль джаза в Гарлеме и, скорей всего, немного шокирует широкую публику 4-й ежегодный BOYlesque Festival – бурлеск-шоу мужского стриптиза, участниками которого станут лучшие исполнители из 40 стран мира. Как всем известно, в мае в США отмечают Mather Day (9 мая) и Memorial Day (25 мая). Первоначально Memorial Day был учреждён в память погибших во время Гражданской войны между Севером и Югом, теперь же в этот день чтят память всех погибших американских военных.[/box]
