Check out these great places to dine out for Easter

Easter Sunday is April 9th this year, and there are those who are looking forward to either hosting or spending it at the home of either family or friends.

There are also those who would have their Easter dinner in the form of a brunch, or sit down at a nice restaurant. Fortunately, there are places in New Jersey that can satisfy both options.

If I'm going out, I'd prefer a brunch. Especially one that has a long buffet that provides choices from both the breakfast and lunch menu.

Carving stations and omelet bars together for one very special day with lots of salads, pastries, and hot dishes in between; it's a buffet well worth resurrecting for.

One of the best brunches I ever had came from the Hyatt Regency in Princeton. At the time I was managing the Catch A Rising Star comedy club located on their lower level.

Here's what they're doing now.

If you're looking to dine out this Easter Sunday and let someone else do the work, here are some places recommended by my listeners and social media following.

We are going to the Shore Club in Spring Lake. It’s been good in the past and I’m sure it will be good on Sunday.
