Easter Brunch/Dinner in No Jersey

[tkrongold]

Any suggestions for Easter Brunch or Dinner in northern NJ (Passaic, Bergen, or Essex counties)?

Thanks!

i am looking for a nice place to take my aunt & cousin to. something around the $25/pp range.

i checked Rosie's column that listed Easter options, but most of them were in south Jersey.

thanks!

You are not going to get much for $25. There will be more restaurants added to my list on Wednesday but there were more restaurants from North Jersey listed than South Jersey.

Blue Sky Cafe in Montclair is doing a brunch for $30. Souffle is doing a dinner for $27.

i assume you won't be drinking? 25 pp really won't get you anything "nice" in bergen or the area even without alcohol. you're looking at 12 dollar entrees and 6 dollar apps and a soda for 25 dollars.

edit: what rosie said.

It's a little out of your territory, but Arthur's Landing in Weehawken is doing Easter brunch for $29. Right on the Hudson at Port Imperial - you can't beat the view, and the food is great.

Arthur's Landing--keep in mind that it is not BYO and if you order a drink the price of your brunch will be higher. With tax and tip you could be talking $40 a person. Do they charge for parking?

Traditionally, Arthur's Landing validates your parking stub at the coat check. With the huge expansion and construction, that may have changed, so I'd call ahead to verify.

Way back when, like 1985, Arthur's used to give you parking, pre-theater dinner, ferry, show tickets, jitney ride for under $50. Might have been under $40 when they started the program.

I will have a story about Arthur's pre-theater package on Table Hopping With Rosie in May.
