- Feeling fancy? Landrace boasts a carving station, a pasta station, and an omelet station – basically an edible Easter egg hunt for adults (minus the sugar crash).
- Craving casual? Chicken N Pickle offers a delightful brunch (with a mimosa bar, winky wink) alongside some friendly pickleball competition. You can even play with the Easter Bunny himself – who knew the big guy had such a wicked backhand?
- Sweet tooth calling? Whiskey Cake Kitchen + Bar will satisfy your sugar cravings with their legendary carrot cake pancakes. Just promise to share...maybe.
