Not only do we get to gorge ourselves on bags of Easter eggs in the weeks prior, but feasting of all forms takes to the forefront to be enjoyed across four days choc-full of food comas.
In the spirit of long weekends and great food, we’ve put together a tasty list of where you should be eating and drinking over the Easter long weekend.

Keeping The G&G up to date with tasty tidbits requires a lot of lattes and espresso martinis, so we occasionally collaborate with local businesses we love, like these. To see how we can help you out and to learn more about our food-crazy audience, head here.
