Скажу вам по секрету, – март один из самых любимых месяцев в Нью-Йорке. И, даже, не по тому что в воздухе «пахнет весной». Тем более, что в Нью-Йорке, как правило, в марте «весной и не пахнет»… А по тому, что 17 марта на Пятой авеню происходит Парад в честь Дня Святого Патрика. Великолепный парад, праздничная атмосфера, веселая публика вокруг и город переливающийся всеми оттенками изумрудного! Не пропустите этот день, побывайте на параде или, хотя бы, в ирландском пабе, даже если у вас много дел, а на улице метет снег.
Нетрудно догадаться, что если в середине месяца – Saint Patrick Day, то 1 марта начинается и длится до 20 марта «Пивная неделя». Да, такая длинная, в 21 день, «ирландская пивная неделя» …. А как только она заканчивается – 21 марта начинается пивной фестиваль. Так что, для любителей этого напитка, март месяц особенный.
Но и для тех, кто не является фанатом ирландских парадов и пивных утех найдется чем заняться в Нью-Йорке в первый месяц весны. Например, побывать на нескольких кинофестивалях и представлениях французской оперы, посмотреть лучшие бродвейские мюзиклы, комедии, шоу и отметиться в цирке. Наслаждайтесь этими удовольствиями – в апреле природа позовёт вас к себе, и вы можете сожалеть об упущенных театральных возможностях марта.
Не забудьте о знаменитой нью-йоркской неделе Фламенко в City Center. И о том, что на протяжении всего месяца будет длится Выставка орхидей.
Также напомним, что 4 марта в Zinc Bar состояться программа “Ода джазу” –, посвященную его 120-летию Леонида Утесова и 100-летию со дня рождения его дочери, Эдит Утёсовой, а затем джазовый концерт Валерия Пономарева. Подробности можно узнать здесь.
