Easter Peepster

This Easter Sunday, our growing Brunch Club celebrated the holiday at our favorite weekend haunt, Essex. The $16 prix fixe for bottomless drinks (and a meal, but that's not really priority), just cannot be beat.

In order to pass the time between our first several mimosas and our meals, I busted out an Easter candy favorite, Peeps! While one can only have so much of sugar-covered-marshmallows, we had some leftover Peeps to play with. Playing with Peeps is cheap and fun entertainment for about 5 minutes. We created such games as "Hide and Go Peep," "Bounce the Peep of Wendi's Head," and "Flying Peeps." But the Peep Olympics weren't the only cheap games that we participated on this Easter Sunday.

Our first game stop was Iggy's, to play Colin and Nate's favorite hunting arcade game - Buck Hunter. A few dollars and several elk, moose and critters later, we were on our way to the next dive bar for more cheap thrills.

We ended up at Ace Bar, to play Ski Ball for $1 games. We divided into teams: Linski Lohan and Samanski Ronson. Because of Sarah's surprise 100-point shot, Team Linski was the champion. Next was darts, for a returnable down-payment of $10. Maybe not the best idea after five hours of drinking to throw sharp objects around, but luckily everyone walked away unpunctured. Most importantly, we got our down-payments back.

It truly was an epic Easter with all of my Peeps.

Easter Sunday Funday Brunch Specials

My favorite thing about Easter, besides the pastel-colored candy corn, is Easter Sunday Brunch!

Brunch with friends in the city is probably a bit more rowdy than brunch with Granny and Gramps at the country club, so I've discovered some great specials that include lots of yummy drinks! Now you don't have to go on a Easter brunch hunt to find a great bloody mary, mimosa and bellini.

ESSEX (212.533.9616)
$16 (cash only) for an entree and bottomless drinks.

YERBA BUENA (212.529.2919)
$12 for some delicioso latin brunch and all you can drink.

PARADOU (212.463.8345)
$29 for a fabulous meal and unlimited champagne cocktails.

PATOIS (212.925.8157)
$13 for French fare with unlimited mimosas.

BONDI ROAD (212.253.5311)
$18 for food from down under and non-stop drinks.

The best part... these specials are every weekend, not just Easter!

Get your pastels on and get ready for a Sunday-funday brunch. Happy Easter!
