In an Easter tradition dating back to the 1800's, hundreds walked along Fifth Avenue wearing their best Easter outfits and hats today.

The parade found its start in the mid 1800's as many of New York City's elite would go to the churches along Fifth Avenue, and then strut through the street in their Sunday best.
