Tomorrow, it's the NYC Parks Department's Eggstravganza 2005 in Central Park! While the activities are ostensibly for children, it seems like everyone can join in the fun, like the egg hunt, Easter egg dying, an Eggstacle, and a petting zoo (just don't put your fingers in your mouth after petting the animals). It doesn't seem like the Peeps Fun Bus is in town the way it was last year, but there will be Central Park's Biggest Cha Cha and Electric Egg Slide - woo!

Gothamist always eagerly anticipates the Easter Bunny's annual visit. Not only does it mean we get to gorge ourselves on Cadbury Creme Eggs and Peeps (which we don't go anywhere near the rest of the year or we'd be bouncing off the walls), but even more so than the sugar high, we can look forward to a delectable meal. But where to go? Well, for starters, New York Magazine highlights a few spots for Easter pastries and breads, Italian style, which always makes for a good start, or at least can serve as a snack to hold you over until the main event -- the Easter brunch or dinner. Several restaurants are offering special Easter menus. Gothamist is going to Lupa to enjoy their four-course Easter feast courtesy of chef Mark Ladner, featuring Roman Easter soup with lamb meatballs, among other dishes.

Beautiful photographs of Easter fun in Central Park at Meccapixel and rion.nu. While there was much revelry and many happy children on Saturday (which was remarkably beautiful, in contrast to how gross yesterday was), Gothamist is found of the above photograph by Meccapixel, as it totally captures the insanity in one elegant shot.

More information from the Parks Department. There is also the Easter Parade on Sunday, starting at 11AM, and with that, traffic is affected.
