We will meet on 5th avenue between 49 and 50th street in front of Saks 5th Avenueal
On Easter Sunday, (March 23, 2008) you have the opportunity to see Easter bonnets to the New York City extreme as "paraders" wander along Fifth Avenue from 49th to 57th Streets. The area around St. Patrick's Cathedral is the ideal place to see the parade. The Easter Parade and Easter Bonnet Festival runs from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m.

Unlike most New York City Parades, the Easter Parade is a far less organized event. From 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. the area along Fifth Avenue from 49th to 57th Streets is closed to vehicular traffic, and folks wander the street admiring various Easter Bonnets and Easter outfits. Visitors in town during Easter will enjoy stopping by the area for a bit during the festivities.

We will meet later in the afternoon(1pm?) for lunch for those interested.

    this is great fun because the participants want to be photographed. Many people wear interesting outfits and off course fancy bonnets
