Here's Where To Find Free Prizes In Manhattan Easter Egg Hunt

MIDTOWN, NY — The Easter Bunny — a.k.a. the East Midtown Partnership — is hiding plastic eggs full of candy and prizes all over Midtown East in 25 participating local businesses, and starting Saturday, kids and their grown-ups will be able to start hunting for them.

From April 12-19, children under 12 and their grown-ups can visit 25 participating local businesses in Midtown East and Upper East Side — including Serendipity3, Casper, Festival Cafe, Amali, Kurant Wine Bar, Naturepedic, and more — where they will find 5,000 candy-stuffed plastic eggs for the children.

Each participating business will also have one golden egg hidden, which will contain an extra special prize for the egg-hunter and their grown-up, organizers said. All prizes and eggs are on a first-come, first-serve basis, organizers said.

"The hunt starts the Saturday before Easter and runs for the whole week," Sarah Hornung, the East Midtown Partnership director of marketing and business development, said. "It's a super fun and sweet reason to take a walk through the neighborhood and visit businesses you may not know."

The East Midtown Partnership is a Business Improvement District that supports businesses in the neighborhood through special events and provides supplementary services that help keep the streets clean and safe in Midtown East and the Upper East Side, near the southeastern tip of Central Park.

"We are thrilled by the response that we have gotten from our businesses and the community," Hornung said.

This year's hunt will be the business improvement district's third annual easter egg hunt.

Golden egg winners can pick up their prizes at the East Midtown Partnership office, which is at 875 Third Ave.
