It's Easter weekend, and some places are putting a holiday spin on their menus, along with all-day parties.
Why it matters: You can still snag some of these tickets.
🍤 On the indulgent side, Blue Duck Tavern in West End is having a brunch buffet — beginning with smoked meats and fish, jumbo lump crab cake and fresh shellfish ... plus mains that include slow-roasted prime rib.
- Sunday reservations are $165.
🍷 In Park View, St. Vincent Wine is hosting a Spring Fling on Sunday. Tickets ($90) get you unlimited wine, an "Easter-ish" spread with ham and biscuits, and an adult Easter egg hunt.
- If you ever wanted a wine pairing with Peeps ... the folks at Little Blackbird would recommend Sauternes. Playful Easter pairings are available at the Cleveland Park wine bar, including jelly beans and Blanc de Blanc.
🐰 For the kiddos, the Easter bunny is hopping over to Tyson's Capital One Center. There'll be a meet-and-greet and an Easter egg hunt, plus a petting zoo, a "color fun run" and more Saturday.
