New York Today: Egg Hunting Season

Updated 10:37 a.m.

Good Tuesday morning. It’s going to be sunny.

A good day for an early Easter egg hunt.

Overnight, the last of 22 dozen eggs were hidden around the five boroughs - in stores, gardens, under the Brooklyn Bridge.

They are not the kind you crack and peel.

They are more than two feet tall and quite valuable.

Fabergé commissioned them from artists and designers for the “Big Egg Hunt.”

Some big names in eggs this year: Jeff Koons, Julian Schnabel, Bruce Weber, Carolina Herrera, Cynthia Rowley.

One egg contains an hourglass. Another sits atop a wooden vanity, and opens on hinges to reveal a painted Brooklyn Bridge.

(Many are indoors; those that are outdoors are secured to prevent theft.)

The Easter basket in this case is a free smartphone app, which goes live at 7 a.m. today.

It will notify egg hunters if they’re near an egg. Once an egg is discovered by 10 people, it will appear on the app’s map.

The eggs will stay in their present locations through April 17.

Then they will be displayed at Rockefeller Center through April 25, while they’re auctioned off for charity.

AND FINALLY …

On this date in 1883, a judge at the city’s Police Court told his clerk, “Mr. Brown, there’s a lady in my private room, wants to see you.”

The clerk went scurrying off to an empty room.

In 1885, a man delivered a box marked “dynamite” to an alderman at City Hall.

And in 1897, an undertaker was sent to the home of a Mrs. Ellen Arnold of West 45th Street to arrange for her burial.

She was very much alive.

Such are some of the earliest April Fools’ Day pranks noted by The Times.

Over the years, we have occasionally fallen victim to them ourselves.

As you go about your business today, beware.
