Aura is making it easy for anyone to catch brunch Easter Sunday, even if they like to sleep in. Diners will enjoy the spring theme of carrot soup, as well as be able to enjoy brunch traditions like Eggs Benedict and pancakes. There will even be a chocolate fountain, in case the Easter baskets were a little short on candy. The Lance Houston Jazz Quartet will liven up the mood while kids will get to hang out with the Easter bunny and do crafts with Samara Lamm from The Kids Place 4 Fun.

The Easter Egg Hunt at Titus Sparrow Park is more than just a search for pretty eggs, though that is certainly a big part of it. The park is also offering refreshments for adults, such as Starbucks coffee. Kids will be able to use the cookie creation station and the arts and crafts tables. Children five and older will also be able to take a crack at an Easter piñata. Only children four and younger will be able to search for eggs, but that will keep it fair for the toddlers.
The Beehive Brunch

Boston, MA 02116
(617) 423-0069
www.beehiveboston.com
Date: April 5, 2015 at 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Every Sunday, The Beehive opens its doors for a jazz brunch. Some traditional and some surprising brunch fare is served with the light flavor of local jazz. Easter Sunday is no different, though the restaurant typically has the bunny come around to entertain families while they have their meal. Expect eggs, salads, French toast, burgers and much more to be offered on the menu. Every appetite will be satisfied with the hearty and healthy options on The Beehive brunch menu.
Faneuil Hall Easter Egg Hunt
1 Faneuil Hall Square
Boston, MA 02109
(617) 635-4500
www.faneuilhallmarketplace.com
Date: April 4, 2015
Faneuil Hall has an annual Easter egg hunt that takes advantage of the city space in a way typically reserved for parks. Eggs are hidden around the marketplace, which allows for an unusual Easter egg hunt experience. The three baskets with the most Easter eggs have historically been awarded candy, but also a special Easter basket with lots of prizes from the marketplace merchants. Music and other festivities are also par for the course at Faneuil Hall's Easter and spring celebration.
