10 great places to find a hat fit for a parade

Looking for a last-minute Easter bonnet? Whether you're home or away, you could hop over to Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue or Lord & Taylor, all noted for fine hats. But you have other options, says Casey Bush, director of the Headwear Information Bureau. The self-confessed hat addict ("I have about 50 for each season") will be a judge in Sunday's Easter bonnet contests at Tavern on the Green in New York's Central Park. Here, she gives USA TODAY's Anne Goodfriend options for chapeau shoppers.

Easter Parade: Judy Garland and Fred Astaire were properly topped for Fifth Avenue in the 1948 movie.

Saratoga Trunk
Saratoga Springs, NY

Famed as the site of the Travers Stakes, the oldest major spectator-sport horse race in the USA, this arts-oriented summer resort town retains remnants of its 19th century heyday. A good example is this charming store on the main shopping street; it's "a hat parlor in the old-time style," full of Victorian touches. In addition to its stock, the shop makes and embellishes hats; it also carries clothing, jewelry and accessories. 493 Broadway; (518) 584-3543.
