I’ve often wondered how bunny rabbits and colored boiled eggs came to be part of the Christian Easter tradition. Beats me. Seems like a stretch. Maybe the United Egg Producers or the U.S. Poultry & Egg Association were behind it.

At any rate, nowadays we celebrate Easter with bunnies, eggs, Easter baskets and bonnets and, increasingly, the opportunity to get out of the kitchen. More and more restaurants are open and serving special meals on Easter Sunday. Here are some to consider for your upcoming Easter Sunday. As always, reservations are highly recommended.

Scott Evans’ Finca restaurant will feature an Easter Brunch buffet on Sunday, April 1st, from 11 AM to 2:30 PM.

The cost is $39/adults; $19 kids 12 and under; free for 4 and under.
