Eater Dinner in NYC can be stressful.  We don’t blame you if you don’t have the energy or the inclination to prepare a whole fancy Easter dinner for the family. You plan the meal, buy the ingredients and then spend the whole holiday washing, chopping, baking and stirring.

Either way, a dinner out gives you that quality time with your family or friends that you’re looking for. In New York City, a host of restaurants offer special meals just to mark the occasion. Sit back and let the chefs at these restaurants wow you with their spring specials for Easter Dinner in NYC.
