Easter Sunday often calls for brunch, whether it’s following religious services, after a quick game of pickleball or, God forbid, as a hangover cure.
Or you might want to opt for something different.

Connie & Ted’s is a WeHo standby for any weekend’s midday repast. They’ve recently tweaked their New England-ish menu for Spring 2023 with new items. Go luxe with the Crab and Lobster Omelet ($32) or dial it down with Shrimp Chilaquiles ($24).
And it’s Easter, so have a fancy cocktail while you’re at it: The P-22 ($17) is named for L.A.’s beloved and recently deceased mountain lion.
