Easter Feast-er
Where to eat for Easter 2022 in Lexington?
What if you get hungry Easter weekend, 2022, in Lexington? Is there anything to eat? Can you order out? Will there be buffets this year? How about pre-orders you can pick up ahead of time, discard all the boxes, and pretend like you’ve whipped up your own fabulous feast for friends and family?
The answer to all of the above is, Yes. All of these options are plentiful. Two years into the pandemic, you will find many more holiday dining and carryout options available for Lexington in 2022 than there were last year. Easter Sunday falls late in the season this Spring, on April 17 and may affect typical weekend lunch and brunch hours for many Lexington restaurants. (Call ahead to confirm.)
With Lexington restaurants and caterers still facing staffing shortages and supply chain issues, it’s never too soon to start 
evaluating your holiday dining options, especially if you would like to leave the cooking (and maybe the cleanup) to someone else.
