Their technique is flawless, their musicality is unmatched, and their musicians are also stellar. It was a bucket list item for me to attend an NYCB performance, and boy, did it deliver. 100/10 recommend
best friends as neighbors
Probably not feasible for most, but through a series of amazing coincidences we landed on the same street as two sets of closest friends (the best man from our wedding and his family share a wall with us in our townhome row!). Spontaneous walks down the street for dinner parties and movie nights next door in our pjs are a treasured part of our life. Little chalk messages (as seen above) from our tiniest neighbors appear on our doorstep. I feel like this happens so rarely in our modern society, but it has been a source of immeasurable joy.
