Bronx’s Easter Egg Hunt Hops in Pelham Bay

Pelham Bay hopped last night with the Bronx’s Easter Egg Hunt, coloring NYC’s spring. Host Lena Carter hid 500 eggs as 200 kids hunted, a free fest by the fields. It’s borough eggs—$3 baskets sold, pure BX vibe. A kid nabbed a prize; a pro stuffed a sack. ‘Bronx hunts—this is it,’ Carter says, scattering shells. The park turned Easter.

The hunt’s fresh—April 5’s kickoff, it tripled since RSVPs, packing grass by 10 a.m. Carter’s a Soundview planner; last night’s crowd hit max—giggles flew. A latecomer nabbed a spot; candy dropped—NYC grit glowed. Runs one day—eggs ruled. #BronxEggHunt trended; Queens wants a hide.

Some griped—’Too messy,’ sniped a parent, dodging wrappers. Mud stuck—shoes slipped; fun held. A rival’s pitching a Fordham hunt, splitting baskets. Still, 300 stayed—hunts reigned. Pelham Bay’s never hopped so bold.

Carter’s teasing a spring encore, maybe a park if eggs bite. ‘NYC’s kids—this thrills ‘em,’ she says, packing prizes. The hunt’s a Bronx win—grit meets glee. It’s an egg rush; catch the next. Bring a bag—candy calls.
