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) Prezza, Tonno Wakefield, and Tonno Gloucester are hosting a series of dinners inspired by Italy’s 3 great wines: Barolo, Barbaresco, and Brunello.

2) On April 5, the Easter Bunny will host a magical morning at the Coach Grill in Wayland. While kiddies 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.

When: Saturday, April 5, 10am-2pm
Cost: Complimentary admission. Specials available at à la carte pricing.
Coach Grill: Reservations are recommended via OpenTable.
