Let’s Go to the Easter Bonnet Festival NYC – Shall We? [PHOTOS]

In my role as professional tourist I’m willing to do anything once. And so today I headed out with the family in tow over to 47th St. and 5th Ave for the annual “Easter Bonnet Festival”…

…for the first and hopefully last time in my life. To use the term ‘bonnet festival’ is pure hyperbole, since there were a scant few bonnet enthusiasts compared to the legions of other lookie-loos crammed together on the street. To be fair there were a number of creative head dressings on display that you can see below, but in the end I’d recommend that you save yourself the trouble and head to your favorite bar instead. Happy Easter folks!
