Easter Parade and Bonnet Festival- starting in the nineteenth century, wearing large, elaborate hats on Sundays became very fashionable for women.  This eventually turned into an annual tradition where people show off the most ornamented and outrageous (homemade!) hats in a festive Easter parade.  The parade runs up 5th Avenue from 49th Street to 57th Street, and it is free to watch.

Easter in NYC

Macy’s Flower Show- For two weeks, the famous Macy’s Herald Square becomes an incredibly designed garden, making the store resemble a scene from Alice in Wonderland.  The expertly crafted plants and flowers cover the entire store, and the place smells absolutely wonderful and is bursting with color.  Also, during this time, Macy’s offers workshops and classes on floral design and creating terrariums.
