Easter is Sunday, April 20, and North Brooklyn is offering a few ways to celebrate locally. Two Greek restaurants are hosting festive meals, a rooftop Mexican spot offers brunch with a view, and a local favorite is selling a takeout bundle. For the little ones, there’s a party at a local playspace next week.
Check out our list below of ways to celebrate Easter locally.
