Dispatch from the Easter Parade

Creative New Yorkers take over Fifth Avenue every Easter Sunday

My friend Abby and I set out this morning for walk at 11am and when deciding which direction to go, I remembered it was Easter Sunday, which meant Fifth Ave would be popping off.

If you’ve never been to the NYC Easter Parade and Bonnet Festival, it’s a sight not to be missed. Every Easter Sunday, Fifth Ave shuts down between 49th and 57th street, and people gather to show off their Easter attire, especially their handmade bonnets. Abby is visiting from Chicago, so this was the perfect spectacle to show her.

So today, I have some photos for you to celebrate the creativity of New Yorkers on Easter Sunday. Would love to hear which are your faves in the comments!

Greeted by a Gaggle of Geese.

The woman on the right kept taking photos with everyone she saw. If anyone knows who she is, please lmk lol.

This woman made a challah bonnet! She told me her name is Stacy Pearl and she’s a chef.

No inch left un-Easter-fied! Love the idea of oversized flowers on shoes.

Love this moss hat.

Upside down carrot cone hat.

This guy made a whole puppet that he was able to control. Commitment!

Bald head = perfect canvas for bee head.

A very 4/20 Easter. They called the bonnet on the right a BONGet.

Dali and Magritte Easter garb. Very high brow!

Hop hop. here comes the Gucci bunny.

Abby and me with the geese.

Post-parade, we walked to The Pierre Hotel to use the bathroom. A very fancy Easter brunch was going down, and I swear if we were dressed in our Easter best, I would have crashed lol

The tulips were in full bloom in the neighborhood today:
