Thursday Sips & Nibbles

I'm back again with a new edition of Sips & Nibbles, my regular column where I highlight some interesting, upcoming food and drink events. I hope everyone dines out safely, tips well and are nice to their servers.

1) This April, everyone’s favorite bunny is hopping into town to host an early Easter “Bunny Brunch” for festive families in the North End and Wayland.

Coach Grill: On Sunday, April 6, from 10am-2pm, the Easter Bunny will host a magical morning in Wayland. While children patiently await the arrival of the cuddly rabbit with festive activities, settle in for a leisurely brunch with the signature menu enhanced with standout specials like a carrot and dill soup; stuffed crêpes with cream cheese frosting and fresh strawberries; chicken and waffle benedict with hollandaise and arugula salad; a crab and asparagus omelet; and, for dessert, a carrot cake drizzled with caramel sauce. There are also a trio of adult libations including a Peep-tini with vodka and marshmallow syrup. 

For the kids, there’s Easter Bunny mac and cheese; a pick of Funfetti pancakes or a waffle; a “dirt cup” dessert with chocolate mousse, chocolate cookie crumble and chocolate egg candies; and “Bunny Beverages” like marshmallow milk topped with pastel whipped cream and a Peep as well as a raspberry Sprite slushie complete with a Pop Rocks rim. During the little ones’ meet-and-greet with the Bunny, a professional photographer will be on-hand to capture the memorable moment. 

Reservations are recommended via OpenTable.  

Joe’s Waterfront: On Saturday, April 12, from 10am-2pm, the Easter Bunny will hop to Boston Harbor for an encore brunch appearance at Joe’s Waterfront. In between signature photo ops, kids will test their artistic skills with craft projects. In addition to its traditional weekend brunch menu, there are adult specialties like a Bananas Foster French toast with cream cheese frosting and maple syrup; shakshuka with stewed tomatoes, roasted onion and garlic, poached egg and crispy bread; and, as a nod to its sister restaurant, the Abe & Louie’s filet mignon BLT. Cocktails features include the Glitter & Candy with bubbly, hibiscus syrup, gin, cotton candy and an edible glitter rim as well as Bunny Bourbon with Basil Hayden, amaro, carrot juice, blood orange and ginger. 

Kids can order up specials like Funfetti bunny pancakes, mini beef sliders, or a cheesy flatbread while washing it down with a Blue Hawaiian with punch, Sprite, blueberry syrup and a cotton candy rim. At the finale, burrow into a “dirt cup” sweet treat with chocolate mousse and chocolate cookie crumble topped with chocolate egg candies.
