FOOD & DRINK
Get some last-minute treats for Easter. Procrastinated on making plans for Easter? We’ve got you covered. Petunia’s Pies and Pastries will have Easter-themed treats like cakes, “babycakes,” and sugar cookies available on a first-come, first-served basis this weekend. On Easter Sunday, Pix Patisserie will also stock fifty of the dessert boxes in its magical contactless “Pix-O-Matic” vending machine with Easter eggs, each with different “golden tickets” tucked inside. One lucky customer will get an egg with a ticket for $50 worth of free treats. And Grand Central Bakery is still taking pre-orders for hot cross buns, festive shortbread cookies, and other baked goods for your Easter brunch table.
