EASTER BRUNCH

NEED IDEAS? WE HAVE 15 FOR YOU.

Easter lands on March 31, and for many, the Christian holiday represents a time to eat with family, and overindulge in chocolate. Traditionally, ham or lamb are served, along with eggs, signifying rebirth. Instead of spending the day in the kitchen cooking, head out to a local restaurant for holiday fare fitting for every price point. Here’s a look at 15 local restaurants serving Easter brunch or dinner on March 30 and March 31. Or head to a local restaurant for brunch on Easter Sunday. Do make reservations in advance.
