Groovin on a Sunday Afternoon: Weekend event guide for 4.1.12

Ready to start planning your weekend? Here are a few events taking place across the country that you might be interested in adding to your itinerary.

(NY) This Sunday begins Hanami, (literally translated "flower viewing") at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. It is the time honored Japanese tradition of celebrating the Cherry Blossom season.  Their culture views the fragrant flower as a metaphor for the ephemeral nature of life. The BBG has over 220 flowering trees (the most in one place outside of Japan) and is one of the best places to experience this celebration. Curator led tours begin at 3pm. (Sunday 10am - 6pm - 900 Washington Ave. - $10 admission)

Movin' down a crowded avenue

Doing anything we like to do

There's always lots of things that we can see

You can be anyone we like to be

All those happy people we could meet
