Easter Sunday falls on April 8 this year, and our neighborhood has some of the best brunch spots in the city. Here’s a few of the best bets. And yes, in this case, I have a bit of a bias toward down-home, American comfort food. Make reservations early.
Rathbun’s Blue Plate Kitchen in Preston Center is an all-around favorite that I’ve probably written about too much. But, it’s hard to pass up their Easter Brunch menu (11 a.m.-3 p.m., $35 per person). It features, pigs in a blanket with smoked pork and whiskey-maple syrup, fried chicken with blue corn waffles and gooey Cinnamon rolls – that’s just to name a few.
