RED ALERT! Our beloved 6th Annual Egg Hunt is moved from McGolrick Park to t.b.d. Brooklyn!

Gorgeous backyard, Easter Bunny, totally fun live music and great cash bar...need we say more?

Buy your egg hunt tickets now and save 25%. Also capacity is limited so tickets may sell out. Check out

Spring is almost here and our annual Egg Hunt is around the corner! As with last year, families and kids will also get to meet the Easter Bunny and enjoy eggstacular craft activities. We'll also rock with
DJ Natalie and
