Good morning, darlings! It's Monday, and you know what that means? Yep, it's time for a new Pink Tutu Blog NYC post! I'm back in the bustling city that never sleeps, New York, New York! And you bet I'm dancing my way through it all, pink tutu in tow, of course!
Now, let me tell you, this weekend has been an absolute dream! It started with a rather divine ballet class in my favourite pink tutu, you know the one, with the fluffy pink tulle and matching pink headband. The sun was shining, the music was playing, and the energy in the studio was simply electric! I could have danced for hours, but alas, even the most enthusiastic ballerina needs a little rest.
Speaking of rest, I found the perfect spot to unwind – a darling little cafe tucked away on a quiet side street. It had the most exquisite cakes and a divine pot of Earl Grey tea, which, in my opinion, is always a good choice.
And after a spot of tea, what better way to continue the day than a trip to Broadway? Oh, darlings, it was magnificent! I can't believe I waited this long to see The Phantom of the Opera. Every single detail, the music, the costumes, and of course, the story...it was truly enchanting. I could see why everyone makes such a fuss about this show! I actually found myself holding my breath for the entirety of the second act! (That chandelier really is a sight to behold, just breathtaking!.)
Now, you might think I was just all about culture this weekend, and while yes, I'm definitely an art aficionado, a trip to New York City isn't complete without a spot of shopping. And believe me, darling, I am absolutely spoilt for choice here. After lunch at this gorgeous Italian trattoria on Mulberry Street, I indulged in some retail therapy, perusing the charming boutiques along Fifth Avenue. I found some adorable vintage accessories at a delightful little shop called "Pink Elephant Vintage," that had the most amazing display of pink feathers and pearl jewellery!
But of course, my travels are all about more than just ballet classes and fashion! On Sunday, I went for a magical walk through Central Park, watching couples go for romantic picnics and children playing amongst the majestic trees. The sheer vibrancy of New York was everywhere, and honestly, it’s almost overwhelming.
Later, I found myself mesmerized by the beauty of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I'm truly blessed to be in a city filled with so much cultural treasure! It's inspiring me, pushing me to dance my way to my next big dream...performing at The Metropolitan Opera! I can only hope it happens one day. I just need to get myself noticed first!
Anyway, enough with all this daydreaming. I’ve got to go now and prepare for this evening’s show at the beautiful Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival! I've got tickets for "A Midsummer Night’s Dream," which should be a complete delight, and perfect to complete my fabulous weekend in the city. Of course, I'll be wearing my new vintage feather brooch from "Pink Elephant Vintage", to really set off my outfit!
And guess what? Tomorrow, I'll be exploring a brand new side of the city, exploring a fabulous rooftop bar overlooking Times Square, which I have heard is absolutely incredible at night.
Stay tuned, my darlings!
Love,
Emma, The Pink Tutu Ballerina.
P.S If you haven’t seen it yet, you have to check out the Ballet Underground dance street performance that took place yesterday. I was on a bench just outside Grand Central Station and, bless you, it was the best! I even had a lovely young couple come over and ask me if I was a real ballerina (the blushing was intense) - which gave me an excuse to share all about The Pink Tutu Blog with them. My aim in life, of course, is to make the pink tutu the most beloved fashion statement of the world, and my little moment in the sun gave me another chance to help people see that.
P.P.S Remember, darlings, every day can be a magical day in a pink tutu! If you’re ever in NYC and fancy meeting a tutu-clad ballerina, get in touch with me - I'm always happy to meet my fellow tutus!

On This Day This day was packed full of entertainment and cultural activities that fit perfectly into the pink-tutu world! It's a reminder that every day is an adventure if you embrace it! Here's a quick peek at what was happening on Monday, 2025-06-02, for anyone who loves all things ballet and girly:
- *The *Phantom of the Opera **- The legendary musical is always worth revisiting, even for the veteran ballerina like myself! It’s an absolute classic that deserves all its acclaim. It's timeless, moving, and utterly charming. And let's be honest, a pink tutu is an excellent match for a musical about a phantom with a heart of gold, who hides in the shadows - perfect.
- Ballet Underground in Grand Central Terminal: This event brings the spirit of dance to the heart of the city! Street ballet - who doesn't love a good spontaneous performance? Street performance in a tutu would be pretty bold and certainly a great way to raise the visibility of pink tutus.
- *The Metropolitan Museum of Art: *It’s always a wonderful idea to immerse yourself in the world of art! It’s a treasure trove of inspiring beauty.
- Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival : This annual dance festival always draws a crowd with its mixture of international performances.
