Best Places for Easter Brunch or Dinner in NoMad This Year
This Sunday, April 21st is Easter, and for many families it’s a time to celebrate spring and the traditions of the day with a get together over great food. The NoMad neighborhood offers plenty of options for you and your loved ones to enjoy brunch or dinner, and a few restaurants have even prepared a special Easter menu for the occasion.
Blackbarn
The fabulous Blackbarn is planning to make this Easter a memorable one for you. The restaurant is offering a special menu and live Blues music in its cozy country dining and bar rooms. Easter specials include Duck Confit, Maine Lobster Salad, and Truffle Mac’n’ Cheese with ham and spring peas.
Its other signature brunch dishes will also be available, featuring dishes such as Apple & Almond Filled French Toast, Egg White Frittata, and Smoked Salmon Tartine. And the very special dish from the brunch menu—Waffle Croquet Madame, which takes the traditional ham, cheese, and mornay components of the classic croquet madame and combined them with our parmesan-rosemary waffle, kale-roasted squash salad and buttermilk dressing. Like so many of Blackbarn’s dishes it is a perfect blend of rich textures and flavors.
