Strategic drop-off around street closures, Easter brunch coordination, family-friendly vehicles with child seats — a 150+ year New York tradition.
The Easter Parade & Bonnet Festival is one of New York City's oldest traditions — a 150+ year informal promenade on Fifth Avenue where New Yorkers and visitors stroll in their Easter finery, showcasing elaborate bonnets and spring fashion. Unlike the St. Patrick's Day Parade, which is an organized march spanning 35+ blocks, the Easter Parade is a relaxed, open-to-all promenade concentrated between 49th and 57th Streets — centered at St. Patrick's Cathedral.
On Easter Sunday, Fifth Avenue closes between 49th and 57th Streets from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. While the closure zone is compact (only 8 blocks), it sits in the heart of Midtown Manhattan — one of the most congested areas in the city on a normal day. Add 50,000 to 100,000+ visitors to the surrounding blocks, and getting dropped off or picked up without a plan means circling, double-parking, and frustration.
True North VIP provides reservation-based professional car service with a clear drop-off strategy: Madison Avenue on the east side or Sixth Avenue on the west side, putting you within one short block of the promenade. Our vetted chauffeurs know the closure boundaries, approach routes, and staging areas — upfront pricing, no surge, and a vehicle waiting when your family is ready to leave.
The Easter Parade closure zone is compact but sits in the busiest part of Midtown. Here's exactly how we get you there.
49th Street to 57th Street — closed to all vehicle traffic 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. This is the promenade zone, centered at St. Patrick's Cathedral (50th-51st Streets).
Madison Ave runs parallel one block east of Fifth Avenue and remains fully open. Best drop-off for approaching from the east side — 50th to 52nd Streets.
Sixth Avenue (Avenue of the Americas) runs one block west of Fifth Avenue and stays open. Best drop-off for approaching from the west side — 50th to 52nd Streets.
Park Avenue, two blocks east of Fifth Avenue, remains open with normal traffic flow. Alternative drop-off with a short walk to the promenade.
Most crosstown streets remain open except where they cross Fifth Avenue within the closure zone. Use 48th or 58th Street to cross freely between east and west.
Your chauffeur stages on Madison Ave or 6th Ave near 52nd-53rd Streets. Text when you're ready to leave — vehicle arrives at your drop-off point within minutes.
Many families pair Easter brunch at a Midtown restaurant with a stroll through the parade. Hourly chauffeur service is ideal — your vehicle waits while you dine, then delivers you to the parade and picks you up when you're finished.
768 Fifth Ave at 59th St
Just north of the closure zone. Drop-off at The Plaza entrance, walk south to the promenade.
40 Central Park South
Near 59th & 6th Ave. Famous for pancakes and French toast. No reservations for Sunday brunch — arrive early. Short walk to the parade's northern end.
2 E 55th St
Inside the closure zone — drop-off on Madison Ave at 55th, one block walk to the restaurant.
155 W 51st St
West of the closure. Drop-off on 6th Ave at 51st, short walk east to both restaurant and parade.
Tip: Book hourly chauffeur service (3-hour minimum) for the brunch-to-parade combination. Your chauffeur handles all the logistics — brunch drop-off, parade approach, and pickup when your family is ready — with no surge pricing.
The Easter Parade is one of NYC's best family events. Our service is designed with families in mind — from child seats to stroller-friendly vehicles.
Rear-facing, forward-facing, and booster seats available for $25 each. Specify seat type and child's age when booking — installed and ready before pickup.
Our SUVs have ample cargo space for strollers, and Sprinter vans can carry multiple strollers plus luggage. No folding required in most configurations.
Young children have unpredictable energy levels. Text your chauffeur when you're wrapping up — no fixed pickup time means no pressure to rush.
After walking the parade in Easter outfits, a climate-controlled SUV with leather seating is a welcome relief — especially for kids who've been on their feet.
Extended families or friend groups attending together can ride in our Sprinter van — seats up to 14 with room for everyone's bonnets, bags, and gear.
Church, brunch, parade, and home — or any combination. Your chauffeur handles the full Easter Sunday itinerary with one booking.
