Loews Atlanta Hotel

On your mark, get set, go! Loews Atlanta is hosting its first annual Easter Egg Hunt this Sunday. The hotel has hidden signature golden eggs through the neighborhood and will reveal their top secret locations on its Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages. The fun kicks off at 9 a.m. and prizes include tickets to the Bloom exhibit at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens, a sushi dinner party for six plus two rounds of cocktails at Steel. The grand prize? A free weekend stay in a Grand Lux Suite at the Loews Atlanta Hotel.

Cypress Street Pint & Plate

Hop on over to Cypress Street Pint & Plate on Sunday for some adults-only fun. The popular Midtown bar will be screening the classic Jimmy Steward flick "Harvey" and hosting an afternoon Easter Egg Hunt with special prizes. Be on the lookout for the BrewRu Easter Bunny (Rob Merrick in costume), as guests will be able to enjoy $1 Cypress House Beer until he is gone.

Holy Taco

Finally, a non-stuffy Easter brunch the whole family can enjoy. $15 pitches of sangria for the grown-ups, egg painting for the kids, and tacos for everyone!

The Shed at Glenwood

Copy Link

You can't help but love a place that lets you brunch in your pajamas. Okay, that's their annual Christmas brunch, but whether you're in your loungewear or Easter finest, all are welcome at The Shed at Glenwood. The buffet spread from James Beard semifinalist Todd Richards includes a local beet salad with goat cheese and white balsamic vinaigrette, braised beef brisket with creamed Georgia kale, a ham and cheese frittata and red velvet cake. Served from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., the brunch costs $25 per adult and $12 per child. Reservations are highly recommended.

If you're looking for an Easter brunch with a view, it doesn't get any better than Canoe. Soak in the spring blooms and sunshine (we hope) at this riverside oasis while fighting your table mates for the last Georgia pecan sticky bun in the pastry basket. Easter brunch starts at 10:30 a.m. and ends at 2:30 p.m.

Ray's on the River
