For the third year in a row, I attended the Spring is Blooming festival on Mother’s Day. Thanks to Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels and artist Alexandre Benjamin Navet, in place of crowded, overpriced brunches, I now look forward to a public dance spectacle, bougie swag, and the delightful camouflaging of the concrete jungles of midtown with pop-art flowers, pastel gazebos, and lazy bench swings. This year, the festival took over the Rockefeller Center campus, utilizing the Today Show Plaza for events and the summer rink and channel garden areas for the distribution of chocolate chip cookies from Café d’Avignon, bottles of passion fruit iced tea, pinwheels, and sleeves of tulips the size of sushi hand rolls. To procure some of the free stuff, one had to gather wooden coins with flowers printed on them from friendly, apron-clad workers floating about the plazas. Why? I have no idea. Perhaps because it was quaint and fun to drop the coins in the slotted boxes at each stand.
