It’s good to be reminded of the graceful things in life. Amid the aggressive European shoppers on Fifth Avenue, you can take a breather and enjoy the new windows at Bergdorf Goodman, which now bear themes, photos, and artifacts associated with the New York City Ballet and the 50th anniversary of Lincoln Center (the new home of New York Fashion Week). Even if you can’t make it to this season’s performances of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, at least you can get a taste of Balanchine, and sophistication, on your way to pick up some NARS.
