Hey Neighbor… Easter arrives. First Friday lights up downtown, egg hunts multiply across the city, brunch reservations fill, and FXBG celebrates with colonial fairs, live music, ghost tours, and at least six different ways to hunt plastic eggs filled with candy.
There's candle-making with the Easter Bunny, a baseball game bash, pottery wheels at LibertyTown, R&B vinyl at Reclaim, and Sunday brunch options ranging from chophouses to historic hotels.
