FILED UNDER: General Bus Rentals NYC Tips and Tricks

Easter is one of the most celebrated days in spring. If you want to celebrate in style, you should find something to do outdoors. Easter happens in spring, when the weather is just perfect and everything is in bloom. Aside from Easter egg hunts, what are the best things to do for Easter with a sprinter van rental in New York City?

1. Easter Parade and Bonnet Festival

The Easter Parade and Bonnet Festival happens on Easter itself. It is considered as one of the silliest parades in the Big Apple and you can spend the day strolling down Fifth Avenue and admiring outrageous hats. The parade starts at 49th Street.

2. Have a fun Easter brunch

There are several restaurants in New York that offer delicious brunch fare to help you celebrate Easter. For instance, La Sirena Ristorante will be serving lamb and rabbit. French American Restaurant Kingsley will also have a prix fixe course, while Tavern on the Green continues its traditional Easter brunch complete with egg hunts, jazz music and family photos. Other restaurants that you can go to include Il Buco Alimentari & Vineria, Gotham Bar and Grill, The Rainbow Room, Jams, The Polo Bar, and The Palm Court.

3. See the Macy's Flower Show

Spring is about flowers and Easter is one of the best days to see the Macy's Flower Show. The show runs from the last week of March to the first week of April. Go to Macy's Herald Square and literally stop to smell the flowers!

4. Binge on chocolate

Aside from Valentine's there is probably no other holiday when chocolates take center stage. So why not visit the following chocolate shops: Fine & Raw, Jacques Torres Chocolate, Kee's Chocolates, L.A. Burdick, La Maison du Chocolat, Liddabit Sweets, MarieBelle, Neuhaus Chocolate, Nunu Chocolates, and Raaka Chocolate.

5. Stock up on candy

If you have a sweet tooth, but for some reason do not like chocolate (GASP!), then you can still go to New York City's candy stores. Candy stores offer more variety than chocolate shops. Plus, it is a great treat for kids too. Where should you go?

Coco Le Vu is both a party room and candy shop, so you can kill two birds with just one visit. The old-fashioned candy store has everything you want from candy jars, marshmallows, to other sweet treats. Economy Candy gives you a chance to buy a bag of all blue M&M's, or perhaps you might want to try their bubblegum cigars. Then you have the artisan shop Papabubble.

Other candy stores you can go to include Dylan's Candy Bar, Philip's Candy Shop, Sockerbit, and the Sweet Shop.

A sprinter van rental in New York City is the best way to tour with family and friends. It can take you to all of these places in style.
