Погода налаживается, цветение продолжается! Май в зелено-розовом убранстве гуляет по Нью-Йорку. Продолжаем занимать активную позицию и не только наблюдать, но и участвовать в Весне.
Отравимся на праздник Цветения вишни, под звездами прокатимся на корабле вокруг острова Манхеттен, посетим оперу и джазовые клубы, отметим “Мамин день” и вспомним погибших в “Мемориал день”.
И обязательно окунемся в невероятный мир Электрического Карнавала 14 и 15 мая. Когда майский день уступит дорогу ночи, неоновые огни праздника оживят наши фантазии и мечты. Всю ночь на пролет, до самого рассвета, когда многие будут сладко спать, настоящие любители красоты, музыки и приключений отправятся на EDC. Здесь соберутся родственные души, связанные страстью к веселью, искусству и открытиям. Праздничные шоу этой ночи объединят в себе высокие технологии и природу – огонь, вода, воздух вдохновят устроителей на создание невероятных световых и музыкальных феерий. Не пропустите одно из самых запоминающихся чудес Нью-Йорка. И хотя билеты на этот праздник стоят недешево, стоит побывать там хотя бы раз в жизни, чтобы, в полной мере, ощутить, как сливаются воедино энергетика звука, света и безудержной фантазии. Билеты здесь.
Конечно это не единственный чудо-праздник в городе. В начале мая состоится одна из самых значительных выставок современного искусства Frieze New York на острове Randall.
Также, рекомендуем очень интересный музыкалтный вечер – Made in New York Jazz. Тем более что на этот концерт всем читателям нашего журнала предоставляется скидка на билеты с промо-кодом ELEGANT. Пользуйтесь случаем и получайте удовольствие! Читать подробно здесь.

Although there are actually five Memorial Day parades in New York (one in Queens, Staten Island, Bronx and two in Brooklyn), the Kings County Memorial Day Parade in Bay Ridge is the most iconic. In fact, it is one of the oldest traditions in Brooklyn now that it’s in its 149th year. Catholic war veterans lead local service organizations in honor of fallen soldiers and their families at the parade, which is sponsored by the United Military Veterans of Kings County. Following the ceremony, there is a 21-gun salute by the U.S. Army at Fort Hamilton. The NYPD and FDNY also march, Brooklyn high-school bands perform, and antique fire trucks and autos are on display.
Where is the Memorial Day Parade? – Brooklyn’s 149th Kings County Memorial Day Parade kicks off at 11am at 78th St and Third Ave, marching up to Fourth Ave and ends at John Paul Jones Park on 101st for the memorial service.
How do I get to the Memorial Day Parade? – Take the R train to 77ht St, Bay Ridge Ave or 86th St.
