The Five
This week: Easter brunch
Easter brunch is a definite family affair, so here are some places that keep the kids busy and the adults well-fed. And maybe even a little buzzed.
HOTEL BEL-AIR
Sup on eggs, smoked salmon and caviar at this swanky brunch. And with the Bel-Air's version of the traditional egg roll race, who needs to be on the White House lawn? And there are other prizes. $95 for adults; $47.50 for kids. 701 Stone Canyon Road, L.A. (310) 472 1211; www.hotelbelair.com
ARCLIGHT CINEMAS
Can't wait to hop off to a movie after brunch? Then Arclight cinemas has the perfect solution. There's a choice of Easter brunch entrees and desserts at the in-house cafes of both the Hollywood and Sherman Oaks locations. And with free-flowing mimosas and Champagne, any movie afterward is bound to get the thumbs up. $35 for adults, $17.50 for children (does not include price of movie). Reservations: Sherman Oaks: (818) 501-7713. Hollywood: (323) 464-1465 x128.www.arclightcinemas.com
