This Week: NYC Birthday Party Guide, Easter Egg Hunts and St. Patrick Day Parades, Spring Break Camps
We had an awesome time last Saturday at our live baby chicks portrait sessions at Big Apple Portraits. And we were really impressed by how gorgeous our readers are (the kids were cute, too). Though the photo shoot is over, Easter fun is just beginning. There are a slew of egg hunts in NYC throughout the month as well as plenty of Easter activities in Connecticut, New Jersey and on Long Island. Meanwhile St. Patrick's Day is this Sunday and there are lots of ways to celebrate throughout the tri-state area this weekend, including parades in NYC and a way over yonder.
Have you looked at our NYC Birthday Party Guide lately? We've added a lot of new posts over the past few weeks, including info on indoor swimming pool parties, our top ten party places in the Bronx and Queens, and Brooklyn gym parties. If you're planning a vacation not a birthday, be sure to check out our Travel site. We recently reviewed the Mountaintop Lodge at Lake Naomi in the Poconos and rounded up farms where families can stay overnight near NYC.
Here's what else we covered on the NYC site this week:
