April 21: Getting Ready For Easter

Happy Thursday, Little Neck! This week marks a whole host of activities at area temples and churches, as Passover continues and the Easter season begins. To help out congregants navigate the many services available this week, we compiled this list of gatherings at area religious institutions.

However one chooses to spend this special season... here's to a happy holiday filled with family, friends and togetherness. 

Here are your 5 Things for today:

1. It's never too early to think about Mother's Day (May 8)! Instead of the usual flowers or chocolates, how about a whole bevy of events for Mother's Day week at Sip City in Great Neck? Look out for more details on our site, coming soon...

2. And speaking of the month of May — Bayside's Bourbon Street Cafe is already planning its own Cinco de Mayo celebration. 

3. The  will host a screening of a documentary by Stuart Hersh, "," on Saturday at 3 p.m. 

4. Experience Bari Koral and her band  for children ages 3 and up at Great Neck Library at 11 a.m.
