< 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.

<Confess your love in Times Square, the center of the world!>
February is Valentine's Day ❤️
In the United States
There is no custom of women handing out obligatory chocolates to men.
It's a day to show love.
They may be couples who are dating or married couples.
A sweet day to express love and gratitude to each other.
Generally speaking, it is more common for men to give gifts to women.

In Times Square, the heart of Manhattan, New York

< Eat $1 cake in NY! >
In addition to the weak yen, prices are high!
" New York is surprised.
However, if you look around, you can find plenty of cheap and delicious restaurants.
One of the charms of New York.
After all, there are a lot of shops.
The first one is the famous "$1 pizza"!
The price has been increased reluctantly due to post-coronavirus inflation
Nowadays, "$1.50 pizza" has become mainstream.
Still, $1.50
It's cheap and the slices are American size, so each one is big.
It's a New York specialty after all.
⚫️ The famous "2 Bros Pizza" has 8 stores in Manhattan ↓
https://www.2brospizza.…
⚫️ There is also "1 Dollar Pizza" at 748 9th Ave (between 50th and 51st Streets)
All of this in New York, where prices are constantly rising.
There are some popular restaurants that have maintained their traditional prices and still offer meals for just $1.
Kam Hing Bakery's $1 cake!
Of course,
It is located in the food town of Chinatown.
address
118 Baxter Street
A local Chinese American restaurant is crowded with customers from the moment it opens for business for its "Dollar Cakes."
Please try it once.

~I want to see a musical, but the lines are in English.
〜Everyone is really good at singing, but
The story progresses with English lines over songs I don't know.
I was tired from the trip, so...
"I fell asleep in the theater! (sweat)"
What a thing
I don't think it's likely to be one of the five musicals mentioned above.
Because it's a parade of global hit songs that everyone knows.
The songs, the dance and the costumes
That alone is fun!
Let's Enjoy!!!
