Celebrate Easter in New York City

Watch as the City Springs to Life

Spend a spring weekend in New York City and watch the Big Apple blossom into a warm-weather paradise. Sidewalk cafés spring up on every avenue, the streets fill with vibrant sounds, and Central Park’s greenery comes to life. Some of the city’s most exciting activities and attractions are at their best in the spring, and The New York Palace’s central location in Midtown East puts you in the middle of the action.

Easter Sunday is known as one of the most popular days for brunching with friends and family, and New York City boasts an endless array of delicious brunch spots. Dine at Istana – located onsite at The New York Palace – and enjoy classics like Eggs Benedict, a Liége Style Belgium Waffle, or a Grilled Chicken Focaccia Sandwich. If you would like to explore other options in Midtown and beyond when planning Easter in New York City, consult our knowledgeable concierge for recommendations and assistance with reservations.

Spring gets started with the New York City Saint Patrick’s Day Parade, one of the nation’s largest celebrations of Irish heritage. On March 17, the parade marches uptown along Fifth Avenue, passing St. Patrick’s Cathedral, The American Irish Historical Society and the Metropolitan Museum of Art along the way. The parade, now in its 251st iteration, attracts 150,000 marchers in a typical year. 

Exploring the city by foot is a perfect way to spend a spring day. The New York Palace is positioned within blocks of some of the city’s best warm-weather attractions, including Central Park, Bryant Park, and the vibrant shopping scene along Fifth and Madison avenues. Stroll the streets of Manhattan’s East Side, stopping along the way at boutiques, upscale clothing shops, and cute cafés to soak up the true essence of spring in NYC.

However you choose to celebrate the return of warm weather and sunny skies, stay at The New York Palace and enjoy personal service and elegant accommodations in the heart of Midtown. Check availability and make reservations online to experience the delight that is spring in the city.
