Weekend Picks -- Autos, Orchids, and Easter

Friday April 6, 2007
  • New York International Auto Show -- See the latest and hottest new cars at the annual New York International Auto Show this weekend. Check out prototypes of the New York taxi of the future at the Taxi 07 exhibit and drool over the sleekest, fastest cars in the world.


  • The Orchid Show -- This weekend is your last chance to marvel at the world's most exotic and awe-inspiring orchids at the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx. Bring home an exotic beauty (an orchid, that is) as a special spring treat to brighten up your apartment.


  • New York City Easter Parade -- See New Yorkers strut their stuff in elaborately-designed Easter bonnets at this Easter pageant and parade up Fifth Avenue.


  • Decorate and Hunt for Easter Egg Hunts -- Let your kids express themselves by decorating eggs with glitter and paint at the Eggstravaganza workshop at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine on Saturday from 10AM until noon (reservations are recommended). You and your crew can also decorate and hunt for eggs with Clifford the Big Red Dog at the Scholastic Store in Soho on Saturday at 3PM (bring your camera and get pics with Clifford).
