What to do & How to celebrate Easter in New York City

Whether this year Easter falls on a March day or an April day, there is no shortage of activities in New York City. From strolling around the streets of the Big Apple to visiting one of the Observatories to admire Manhattan Skyline from above, to riding a bicycle through Central Park, to boarding a boat or yacht for a cruise or perhaps to visiting the Statue of Liberty ... So many options! If on the other hand the crazy NY Spring Weather does not want to collaborate and it rains, rest assured that there is no shortage of Museums and indoor Attractions.

Easter Events

The Fifth Avenue Easter Parade
Hard to imagine a more extravagant Parade than the Easter Bonnet Parade! A multitude of people, adults & children, flock to this stretch of Fifth Avenue which starts from 49th Street up to 55th Street, wearing the most bizarre hats and sometime dresses.
Some people dress up in period/vintage dresses or fantasy costumes, there are those who disguise themselves as animals, others as vegetables, and some dressed casually betting everything on their extravagant hats!
You will find Jazz Bands playing along Fifth Avenue, and many New Yorkers dancing to the rhythm of Swing Music! Jugglers and street dancers, street vendors for cotton candy and balloons ... You might also find vendors for hot dogs, pretzels, and fries.

The parade starts at 10:00 am in the morning until 4:00 pm..

Irene was a FANTASTIC tour guide! She was so knowledgeable about the area and was so patient with all our questions. We stopped to use the bathroom and we got coffee halfway through, she was so kind! It was a pleasure learning about Brooklyn from you!
