< Historic moment! Malcolm X at the Metropolitan Opera >
This day is finally here!
At the Metropolitan Opera House, the most elegant in New York.
An opera depicting "Malcolm X", a radical activist based in Harlem during the civil rights movement, has opened!
It was written in 1983
I can't keep up with the times
Although it will be performed
Although it took 40 years
The place where it will be performed
The Metropolitan Opera stands beautifully and majestically in the center of Lincoln Center, one of the world's leading arts facilities. . .
I wonder what Malcolm X would have thought if he were alive.
Nowadays, you can enter any Broadway musical even if you wear jeans and sandals.
The Metropolitan Opera is the only place where there are still people dressed up in dresses and tuxedos (there are also people in casual clothes).
On opening night
Malcolm X's daughter
Nas is a big hip hop star from New York.
human rights activist Al Sharpton
They also appeared in formal attire.
It will only be performed for one month, so if you are visiting New York during this time, please come and see it.
"THE LIFE AND TIMES OF MALCOLM X"
11/3 (Thursday) - 12/2 (Sat)
Currently being performed at the Metropolitan Opera

<New York subway to go $3 starting January 4, 2026>
The 24-hour nonstop service of New Yorkers,
Subway (subway).
From January 4th (Sunday) of the new year
It came to $3.
This is the third price increase in the last 10 years.
In 2015, it was raised from $2.50 to $2.75.
Eight years from now, in 2023, it will reach $2.90.
And now it's down to $3 in just three years.
But it's a flat rate, so no matter how far you go or how long you ride, it's only $3!
Together,
32 years since its introduction in 1993
The yellow MetroCard, which served as a symbol of New York, was discontinued at the end of last year.
The contactless Tap & Go style has already been in place since 2019
It has been unified into the "OMNY system," which looks like an iPad.
(*MetroCards that are still valid can still be used until an announcement is made that they will no longer be valid, but since the vending machines no longer exist, you cannot load money onto them.)
The yellow MetroCard was replaced by
The simple black and white "OMNY Card" (right in the photo below)
It can be purchased from vending machines,
You don't have to buy that card
It's convenient because you can use it by simply holding up your credit card or smartphone, which has a WiFi-like mark and allows contactless payments.
No pre-registration or anything is required.
Just come to New York and hold it up.
So, in NY
Please be sure to bring your credit card with you, or your smartphone, which has a Wi-Fi-like mark on it.

Normally, in January and February in New York, the temperature drops to minus 15 degrees and there is snow, so the number of tourists drops dramatically.
