Dear teachers,

Please let me know the meaning of "paint the big apple red". It is said when a group of studen is going to New York to celebrate one girl's birthday.

How about "paint the big apple white, blue'?

Thanks.

-'The Big Apple' has been a nickname for New York City since the 1920s I think.

-'Painting the town red' is an English idiom describing a big night out:

Since the town they are going to is 'The Big Apple', they are going to 'Paint the Big Apple red'.

Hope this helps!
