Holidays Under The Lights

     Easter Break is this week and if you plan on staying in New York during break, there are plenty of things jumping off in the Big Apple.  The following opportunities are conveniently planted in the heart of NYC.  So pull out your calendars store the following events on your to-do list!

Now who said Halloween can’t happen year around?!  On Saturday, hop on the train heading towards Time Scare, I mean, Time Square to plunge into a world of terror.  No costume necessary.  Located 668 8th Avenue, the Time Scare Haunted House easily echoes the eerie scenery of a nightmarish psychiatric hospital.  Fraught with many twists and turns that feature gruesome sights, shocks and scenes reminiscent of horror films, you’re destined to leave frightened, panting and perhaps, in tears.  Have no worries.  You can ease that anxiety with a delicious meal at their restaurant.  General admission tickets are $27, but if you rally a group of friends, ticket prices are chopped off by 20 to 30 percent.  Ticket times are for 3:00 PM Saturday and 1:00 AM Sunday!  The choice is yours.  To buy tickets online, go to http://www.ticketweb.com/t3/sale/SaleEventDetail?dispatch=loadSelectionData&eventId=3300504&REFERRAL_ID=tmfeed&crosssite=TM_US:1652316:337347

            If you’re not too tired from the thrill of the Haunted House, come out from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM to participate in NYC’s annual Easter Parade and Bonnet Festival.  That’s right. Bonnet Festival. People from across the world gather along Fifth Avenue from 49th to 57th Street to flaunt their Sunday’s best!  Outfits hit both sides of the spectrum featuring outrageously eccentric to ravishingly elegant attire.  Just a quick history lesson.  Did you know that NYC’s Easter Parade spawned from the simple decision to decorate churches with flowers in celebration of Easter back in the 1800’s? The small gesture produced what we see today at the parade!  Get a glimpse of what the parade entails with a clip from 2012’s Easter Parade. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHWuPmEmJ5A
