With pastel-colored eggs, floral bonnets and alfresco egg hunts, there's nothing like Easter in New York to herald the start of spring. (This year, Easter falls on Sunday, March 31). Our 2013 guide to Easter in New York makes planning your family's holiday celebration easier than ever, whether you're scouting out the city's myriad Easter egg hunts or looking for the yummiest Easter treats to fill your brood's baskets. Plus, we've got details on the annual Easter parade (check out last year's Easter photos for headgear inspiration!) and where to catch the Easter Bunny as he bounces from one event to the next.
