The Easter season is a beautiful time to be in New York City and see the spring flowers waking up from their winter slumber. There are many activities that go on throughout the New York during this holiday and Gotham’s New York Limousine service wants to be sure that you have the best holiday you can, even if you choose not to celebrate it.
The annual Easter Parade is the center piece of New York City’s Easter holiday. From 10:00am and ends around 4:00pm on Sunday, New Yorkers will march up Fifth Avenue displaying their Easter bonnets. Unlike other more traditional New York parades, this one does not contain floats and is far less organized. People wander the street admiring Easter bonnets and outfits. If you are visiting the city, this is a great event to partake in.
If you have children or little ones that you are watching, take them to Central Park to participate in the Eggstravaganza. This event takes place all day on the Saturday before Easter and will not only have Easter egg hunts, but will have an appearance from the Easter Bunny, crafts and a petting zoo. This is a great event for young children to partake in and for parents to enjoy their kids running around collecting eggs.
The holiday is not complete without a traditional Easter dinner. Traditional foods to eat on this holiday include hot cross buns, pretzels, a roast lamb dish or ham. A great place to go if you don’t want to cook is Tavern on the Green in Central Park. This historic eatery offers up a ham dinner with all the fixings in a festive yet elegant environment.
Candy makers all over the city are sharing their innovations with the masses. The old fashioned candy makers at Li-Lac Chocolates have a fantastic selection this year that you can find at one of their 3 locations. They have all of the Traditional Easter treats including carrot-infused chocolate to the famous marzipan eggs. If you are looking for a sugary treat for someone special check out any of your favorite candy shops as they step up their game this year.
Whether you celebrate the holiday or not, if you are looking for something special to do with friends, family or a special someone, look into booking a New York Limo. You can plan a day of festivities and be driven around by a chauffeur with a limo. You can create a memorable day or weekend for your loved ones and share a great time in a New York Limousine. Whether you are just seeing the sites, have an itinerary or just want to get from point a to point b and back, Gotham’s New York Limousine service has what you need.
