Easter Brunch @ Mon Ami Gabi
From an elaborate Make-Your-Own Bloody Mary Bar to Mimosas and mouthwatering Apple French Toast, both Mon Ami Gabi locations (Chicago and Oak Brook) create a one-of-a-kind Easter Brunch. The brunch menu includes traditional Eggs Benedict with choice of Canadian Bacon, Smoked Salmon or London Broil; Apple French Toast made with Vanilla Brioche and Cinnamon Apples; and Market Fruit Salad prepared with Seasonal Fruit with Citrus Juices. Guests of the day can also enjoy a la carte specialties from the restaurants' regular menus. 10:30 a.m.-3 p.m. 2300 Lincoln Park West and 260 Oakbrook Center.

Easter, Spanish-Style @ Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba!

All diners receive a surprise "gift" egg with a tapas, paella or dessert certificate inside. 11 a.m.-3 p.m. 2024 N. Halsted. To RSVP, call 773-935-5000 or visit the Website.
Music And Art At The Orphanage
It's Easter and if you need to get away from the family come to the Orphanage. See art by Sharon Parment, Laura Dobson and Brent Kado as well as music from Ballistic Edna, Kelroy, Athens and Poverty Tax. The food changes every week so hopefully an Easter theme hits the buffet table. The Orphanage is at 643 W. 31st St.
Deep, dark metal on Sunday night @ Ronny's
Tonight at 9 p.m., Ronny's (2101 N. California) presents four bands with four distinct takes on metal, all of them dark and thunderous. Velnias, from Naperville, take influence from the forest-folk black metal bands of Norway; Locrian are a synth/guitar duo that weave dark shimmering nightmares with metal threat; Winters in Osaka add elements of power electronics and harsh noise to their grindcore attack; and Druids of Huge simply hit hard and ask no questions. $5 at the door. More info at Transmission.
