Do you dread the long hours of Easter? Rising early, hiding eggs, making baskets, taking bites out of carrots – it’s all in the parental guidebook, but it’s sure to tire you out. This year, instead of adding to your holiday chores, why don’t you let someone else help out? By someone else, I really mean one of West Chester’s great Sunday Brunches . . . there are some places in town that you don’t want to miss!
Check out Iron Hill from 11am – 2pm for a yummy, no-fail breakfast that will fill both you and your family up. My personal favorite is the Blue Crab Omelet and my sister prefers the French Toast with whipped hazelnut butter. Iron Hill brews it’s own root beer, so get a few for the kids while you sip the Raspberry Wheat or Pig Iron Porter (ask for it on nitro, if they have it!)
If you’re looking for something more lively, check out the Blues Sunday Brunch at Doc Magrogan’s. Every weekend they have live music to entertain you with while you troll the brunch buffet bar ($12 per person) or order from their extensive and seafood-oriented menu. Go for some of the more interesting items – lobster hash, crab Benedict, or lobster Benedict! Drinks include mimosas and Bloody Mary’s – drink up!
For the early birds, be ready by 7:30 am and head on over to Market Street Grill- a breakfast and lunch spot near and dear to my foodie heart. Their omelets are honestly to die for . . . the Greek is amazing, and the Kennett Square fills you up with tasty local mushrooms! For a Sunday specialty, please get the Crab and Spinach Eggs Benedict – I’ve never tried it, so comment with your thoughts!
If you’ve gotten this far, I’ll throw out a little personal contest . . . anyone who sends me a picture of themselves and the Easter Bunny gets a free omelet, on me! Start sending away!
