THINGS TO DO IN NYC THIS WEEK AND WEEKEND

EASTER PARADE

Easter in New York brings egg hunts, fine brunches, and a bonnet-filled procession down Fifth Avenue that’s been part of city life for a century and a half. Celebrate the holiday in true New York fashion with a trip to the Easter Parade. The tradition dates to the 1870s, when upper class New Yorkers would stroll down Fifth Avenue after church and show off the fashionable new outfits they’d purchased for the holiday. Traffic shuts down on Fifth Avenue between 49th and 57th Streets from 10am to 4pm on Easter Sunday, letting festive parade-goers fill the streets in over-the-top Easter finest. (St. Patrick’s Cathedral provides a particularly striking backdrop, with Neo-Gothic architecture completed in 1878.)

One of New York’s most spectacular experiences is getting out on the water. Join City Cruises on Sunday for their Easter Signature Brunch Cruise or a Bateaux New York Easter Premier Plus Brunch Cruise.

BARCA CANTINA IS BACK

Everyone's favorite floating Mexican restaurant is returning for the season. La Barca Cantina relaunches with an all-you-can-eat Easter cruise on Sunday at 12;30pm. Look for make-your-own-tacos, signature cocktails, and Easter Egg giveaways. Going forward there are Saturday and Sunday cruises, with expanded scheduling beginning Cinco de Mayo weekend.

EGG HUNT
