When I arrived at the airport a week ago it was crowded with orthodox Jews coming to NYC or leaving for the holy land. This weekend they will all get together for the traditional festivities. Last week I saw lots of indications of kosher food and drink in almost every shop and restaurant. My hostess Lynda was fasting as well.
The Christians also will have
their easter festivities, especially here in Harlem at 116th street where one church is
build right next to the other. There I saw big black ladies with purple hair
and orange dresses wearing hats as big as boats.
Extravagant headgear can also be seen on the Easter parade down town on Fifth Avenue. Here the upper white class dresses up and parades the streets on this early spring day. But they're not going to church. They're heading for one of the many society parties in the gardens or at the rooftops of midtown Manhattan. It reminds me of the Mardi Gras festivities back home. Spring is in the air.
