Acrobats Overlooking the Brooklyn Bridge
Absinthe is an acrobatic show set up at the Spiegeltent, all the way downtown at South Street Seaport. It’s not easy to describe except as Cirque du Soleil for adults. Kids under 12 are not allowed. It’s a very intimate theater (300 seats only), and there’s a bar in the theatre, which means you’re watching Rollerskating Elvis while sipping a vodka tonic (and leaning back if you’re in the front row – not joking).
This video will give you a better idea.
And when you’re done with Absinthe, there’s time for sitting in hammocks (with more vodka tonics) on the boardwalk. And a dance floor. And bleachers for those who prefer to watch. More acrobats, of course. All against a backdrop of the Brooklyn Bridge.
