Boston's Best Easter Brunches
Easter falls on Sunday, March 27th this year. Brunch is a wonderful way to connect with family and celebrate the Easter holiday and the arrival of spring. Many restaurants offer a buffet style brunch, while others are ordered from a special prix fixe menu. Easter brunch traditionally includes a special egg dish, but there are many other breakfast items to choose from as well.
