HAPPY EASTER! What a wonderful weekend it was with gorgeous weather. Even though Easter weekend is coming to an end here are some things you can do this upcoming week.

PICTURE PERFECT

When the spring breeze gently blows, cherry blossom petals flutter and makes a magical scenery that makes you wonder if it’s lightly snowing on a spring day. One of the beauties of spring is definitely the amazing site cherry blossom trees create. Brooklyn Botanic Garden is the place to go to enjoy the spring breeze and walk through the shower of pink petals falling gently from the trees. Spring is here but will be gone soon, so don’t miss this year’s cherry blossom beauty.

WHERE: Brooklyn Botanic Garden (1000 Washington Ave.)

WHEN: Open until April 29 but sooner the better before the petals all fall off!

Warning though. You’re bill’s not going to be too light so be ready for it!
