After candy, brunch and dinner Though the kids might be looking forward to chocolate bunnies and marshmallowy Peeps, Easter is also a great day for real food — specifically brunch and dinner. Many area restaurants are offering special menus for brunches or dinners, often with fixed prices for adults and children so you know what you’re getting into before you head out this Sunday, April 12. You might also check with your favorite Sunday brunch locations, as many of them don’t have special menus but might be extra busy or have different hours.
