Pink Tutu Blog: NYC Edition – Post #988 – Monday 12th May 2014: New York City Dreams and a Touch of Tutu Magic!
Good morning darlings, and welcome back to Pink Tutu Blog!
The Big Apple has truly captured my heart this week. It's like a whirlwind of dreams and glitter, every corner overflowing with dazzling lights and bustling life. I'm so excited to share my adventures with you!
As you know, I'm a firm believer that every day is a chance to twirl – especially in this fabulous city. This past week has been filled with pink, tutus, and, of course, the intoxicating rhythm of New York City.
A Pink-Fueled Journey:
After my early morning ballet class, (always a great way to start the day!), I decided to explore the vibrant streets of Midtown in all my pink-tutu glory. The vibrant hues of Fifth Avenue's shop windows reflected perfectly on my shimmering pink tulle. And trust me, darling, every glance from a passing stranger felt like a silent applause!
I swear, I have never seen so many different colours of pink! I swear, I spotted pink everywhere! There were the chic ladies on the streets, their bags in blush shades and outfits splashed with hues of raspberry and pale rose. It felt as if the city itself was draped in pink for my arrival.
The Enchanting World of Broadway:
On a recent Tuesday evening, I treated myself to the sheer magic of a Broadway show! The story unfolded with breathtaking musical numbers, each dancer an exquisite vision.
After the performance, the street was brimming with energy! I had a delightful, impromptu waltz with a friendly stranger on the sidewalk outside the theatre - a lovely moment captured perfectly by my street photographer! That's the magic of this city; every encounter is a new chapter.
A Ballet Adventure at the Lincoln Center:
Of course, no visit to the city that never sleeps could be complete without a visit to the majestic Lincoln Center. This cultural treasure house truly stole my breath away!
There's something utterly captivating about watching the world's best ballerinas perform on a stage bathed in moonlight, the grace of their movements weaving their own enchanting stories. I saw the legendary, internationally-acclaimed, American Ballet Theatre. You simply must put this at the top of your "Must Do" list!
Subway Stories: My City, My Dance:
Being a true pink-tutu devotee, my mode of transport around the city is always the charming subway. A constant source of unexpected delights and a vibrant tapestry of New York City's cultural kaleidoscope! Every journey is a dance, and the gentle rhythm of the train a constant inspiration. It's fascinating to observe the different personalities rushing about, each face a reflection of the fast-paced city life. And I always feel such joy watching their reactions as I glide through, a symphony in pink and tulle.
The Shopaholic's Dream:
For a tutu-obsessed ballerina, New York City is simply a dream. From Saks Fifth Avenue to Bergdorf Goodman, the department stores overflow with enchanting attire for the discerning lady! I simply cannot resist! I've fallen head over heels for a new pastel pink tulle tutu – it will be my companion for many New York adventures, trust me!
Food and Friends:
After a whirlwind day of shopping and twirling, it was time to recharge with a delectable Italian meal at a charming trattoria. The delicate aromas wafted through the streets, beckoning me into their inviting atmosphere!
I later joined friends for a fun evening at a chic speakeasy bar. Laughter, sparkling conversation and shared moments under glittering lights - there’s no better feeling!
A Night to Remember:
Later, as the twinkling lights of Times Square reflected off the slick streets, I found myself on the roof of a stylish skyscraper, swaying to a jazz band with a glass of bubbly in hand. The night air buzzed with an exciting, vibrant energy.
It was in that magical moment, the city a glittering canvas of twinkling lights spread beneath my feet, that I knew this wasn't just a trip - it was the beginning of a story, a ballet of life that would stay with me forever.
Until next time, dear readers:
This magical trip has truly opened my heart to this vibrant city. I leave New York feeling inspired and revitalised! Every journey brings with it unique experiences, unforgettable moments and memories that will linger forever.
I must go now – it is time to pack my bags for my next exciting adventure, but I’ll be sure to keep you all updated. Until next week, do keep twirling! Remember, my sweet lovelies, life's a ballet, so wear a tutu with joy and grace.
