В Нью-Йорке ноябрь месяц не только предпраздничных ожиданий, но и радостных свершений. Именно в этом месяце начинаются самые любимые «ивенты» года. Ноябрь, в плане развлечений и праздников, – это почти декабрь, но более тёплый и менее суетливый. Именно в ноябре устанавливают и зажигают рождественские елки, открывают праздничные базары подарков и елочных украшений, запускают традиционные предновогодние спектакли и представления. В ноябре стартует вожделенное для всех американцев шоу Rockettes в Radio City, открываются двери в сказочный мир «Щелкунчика» Джоржа Баланчина и многое, многое другое… Но кроме «декабрьских» развлечений в ноябре полным-полно своих собственных ярких и красочных мероприятий, так что трудно не согласиться с утверждением, – ноябрь самый насыщенный событиями месяц в году. Еще не стихли восторженные возгласы в честь Праздника всех святых, а уже на подходе парады в честь Дня Ветеранов и Дня Благодарения, и, конечно, грандиозный традиционный фейерверк от магазина Macy’s вечером 26 ноября. Еще греет солнце и Центральный парк стоит в зелено-желтом убранстве, но уже залили городские катки, и на улицы выходят «солдаты Армии спасения» со своими колокольчиками. Город живет праздничной жизнью в атмосфере ярмарок, фестивалей, прмьер, распродаж, ярких реклам, музыки и соблазнительных анонсов. Будьте уверены, праздничный сезон не пощадит никого – все мы в его власти, все окунемся с головой в его сверкающий водоворот и, как обычно, понесемся по его волнам прямо к вратам Нового Года. Наслаждайтесь, ноябрем, но помните, что сил и энтузиазма должно хватить на долго – аж до 1 января 2016 года. А что потом? Потом, как и теперь внимательно читайте нашу Афишу, – она поможет вам сохранять хорошее настроение, оптимизм и быть в курсе интересных событий в любое время года.
Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Before America collectively fashions a can holder out of its beer gut and settles in to watch some football, all eyes turn to Manhattan and the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, an annual pageant of giant balloons, floats, cheerleaders, clowns, marching bands, Broadway shows and celebs.
