One of the best things about Easter always occurring on a Sunday is that you can spend your Saturday doing cool stuff like submerging hardboiled eggs in colored dyes smelling of vinegar, going from K-Mart to Target to K-Mart again trying to find that perfect Easter basket to fill with cellophane grass, putting the finishing touches on one's bonnet, or perhaps just enjoying one of the first weekends of spring knowing that a good portion of the city is in holiday-mode, so we can all just relax.
If you have kids, the NYC Parks Department has a list of activities scheduled for today around the city, including egg decorating, egg hunting, and all sorts of other great stuff in all five boroughs. Some from the list:
Spring Egg Challenge!
10:00 am - 12:00 pm
RUFUS KING PARK
Brooklyn Bridge Park Spring Fling Egg Hunt
11:00 am - 2:00 pm
BROOKLYN BRIDGE PARK
Spring Egg Hunt
12:00 pm - 3:00 pm
DETECTIVE KEITH WILLIAMS RECREATION CENTER
Spring Eggstravaganza
12:00 pm - 3:00 pm
VAN CORTLANDT PARK
Just remember that if you find a "kinder SURPRISE" chocolate treat in your easter basket, the surprise is a choking hazard to young children.
