Helloooo darlings! It's Monday again, and you know what that means… it's time for a new Pink Tutu Blog NYC post!
This week I'm bouncing with excitement to tell you all about my weekend in the Big Apple. As you know, I absolutely adore this city – the energy, the fashion, the amazing opportunities for a tutu-wearing ballerina like myself…it's simply divine!
Now, let's dive into all the pink-tastic adventures I had!
Friday Feeling:
It’s Friday afternoon, and I’ve just landed at JFK. I’m feeling positively giddy about the weekend ahead. I can’t resist pulling out my phone to snap a few photos of myself looking absolutely fabulous in my most recent pink tutu acquisition (more on that later!). My suitcase, stuffed with a symphony of tutus in every shade imaginable, feels a little heavier than usual, but I always tell myself: every day is a performance. So, off I go, a pink ballerina princess taking on the city.
The journey to my Airbnb in Brooklyn was a dream. It was my first experience on the subway in this magnificent metropolis, and let me tell you, it’s all the fun I’ve imagined!
I’m definitely a bit of a newbie when it comes to the New York metro. Let’s just say my attempt to navigate with Google Maps did involve a bit of accidental backtracking, a few moments of panic, and the occasional burst of giggles at the wonderfully eccentric fellow commuters. It was an absolute adventure, and all worth it just for the feeling of arriving at my adorable little flat, perfectly situated amongst a cluster of trendy shops and cafes.
The Ballet Experience
My first evening in the city started with a visit to the magnificent New York City Ballet at Lincoln Center. I'm a true ballerina at heart, so being amongst the hallowed halls of this world-renowned company was an absolute dream!
I'd snagged tickets for their production of 'The Nutcracker' – a real Christmas classic. And although I saw it last December in Derbyshire, the energy here in NYC was completely different. I could feel the passion and the dedication coming from the dancers on stage – truly captivating. Every pirouette and grand jeté was a joy to witness! And just when you thought things couldn’t get any more magical, a huge snowflakes started falling from the ceiling, covering the stage in a fluffy blanket of white. Oh, how I love the magic of theatre!
After the ballet, my friend Chloe and I headed to a local restaurant in Chelsea, a little bistro serving up some mouth-watering French cuisine (I'll be honest, my tutu was looking rather elegant against the backdrop of that candlelit table and velvet seating!).
A Pinktastic Fashion Extravaganza
Saturday was all about retail therapy. Now, there's no place on Earth that compares to New York City for clothes shopping! You can find anything here, from vintage treasures in Greenwich Village to designer masterpieces on Fifth Avenue. My quest for the perfect pink tutu led me to a vintage shop on the Upper East Side – you just know I couldn't resist indulging in a few treasures!
Of course, I wasn’t just browsing tutus, you know. A little Pink Tutu blogger has got to be up on all the latest trends! I managed to find an incredible silk blouse with floral detailing that I couldn’t wait to wear. It's all about pairing that delicate pink tulle with a bit of texture and sophistication!
Later that evening, Chloe and I found ourselves at a quirky little cocktail bar with a live jazz band. We sipped on mojitos and giggled over our ridiculous antics, feeling like the only two people in the entire room wearing tutus (even if it was only mine…ahem!) It’s amazing what wearing a tutu can do, you can instantly become the centre of attention wherever you go.
Sunday Strolling and A Taste of Broadway
Sunday morning started with a delicious brunch at a quaint cafe. It was packed with trendy young professionals, which just goes to show that Brooklyn is really buzzing with a lively arts scene. After, Chloe and I did a little walking tour through the East Village, stopping by a few street art galleries and picking up a few little souvenirs from local artists (can you spot my new pink tote bag? It was totally perfect for this occasion!).
I always make sure to experience something unique each time I’m in NYC, and this weekend was no exception! In the evening, we got tickets to see the Chicago musical at the Ambassador Theatre. Let me just say – WOW! The costumes were outrageous and the energy of the show was absolutely contagious.
The show wasn’t quite my style, a bit more jazzy than classic ballet (and let's just say those ladies in their feathers didn't wear much pink), but the dancing was absolutely phenomenal! I could easily get swept up in the show’s energy, it’s something everyone needs to experience in New York City!
Pink Tutu Thoughts
As the sun began to set on my weekend adventures, I felt a wave of peace settle upon me. New York City really has a magic of its own! Being here feels like a wonderful combination of excitement and inspiration. I have to say, seeing a few fellow New Yorkers sporting tutus out and about gave me all the motivation to spread the pink love. I mean, who wouldn’t want to join me in this life of sparkly fun?
So, that was my fabulous weekend in New York City, folks. I can't wait to see what adventures next week has in store!
