THIS SATURDAY: THE GREAT EASTER EGG HUNT
The Lower Manhattan Community Church’s Great Easter Egg Hunt is an annual tradition. Kids up through third grade can hunt for eggs, pose with the Easter Bunny (bring your own camera), and more—and it’s all free. The event is this Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at P.S./I.S. 89 (201 Warren). Sponsored.

Perfect to pair with your corned beef on St. Patrick’s Day and available until the end of March. Orwashers is New York’s oldest artisan bakery, hand making breads since 1916. 102 Franklin Street, 212-226-6000. Sponsored.
