R Is for Rockefeller Center

Easter Sunday at Rockefeller Center, New York City

We're going all topsy turvy here in the A to Z Blogging Challenge. Most  other bloggers are now on S and yes, we're doing R, but we skipped L, M, N, O, P and Q. I may come back with L, M and N as originally planned or may just skip to S next. I will probably return to at least a few of these letters and I'm especially eager for Q.

I landed on R for our post today because I had a great time at one of my favorite places, Rockefeller Center in Midtown Manhattan on Sunday. I want to post Easter pictures while we're still in the season. Some of these photos were taken just a few blocks from Rockefeller Center on Fifth Avenue. Fifth Avenue is closed to traffic and it's filled with people in hats, dressed up (or down) and strolling along. There are lots of people and it's lively and crowded, but friendly and lots of fun. 

Pasta and Peeps

We met this family group from Long Island on Fifth Avenue. Their hats and the hats of their family that accompanied them were made of pasta. Their pug is wearing a Peeps bunny costume and they called their look "Pasta and Peeps."

We loved meeting the Honey Bears

One of our favorite hats and themes were these two sweet girls with their Wicked look. Pep and Leo were with us and this is my favorite moment of a great day. 

Aren't the hats fabulous!

I've been going to the "Easter Parade" for years and it never fails to amaze and delight me. I'm so glad I got to share this year's visit and one of my all-time favorite places in New York City. Most people think of Rockefeller Center as the place for the Christmas tree, but there are special things there in every season.

As ever, thanks for visiting and enjoy the flowers of spring.
