If there’s one thing suburban restaurants have learned during the pandemic, it’s to diversify. And many eateries are doing just that for Easter by offering dine-in options (with COVID-19 protocols in place) and meal kits to-go. While things aren’t back to normal yet, there are now more ways to celebrate with family and friends on Sunday, April 4. But make reservations soon as dine-in is limited and ordering deadlines are strict.
