March 2018 has been a wild month of wind, ice and snow. Back-to-back nor’easters have made spring and warmer weather seems to be a distant light, but the thaw is coming. The landscape will transform from glitter white to green; the air’s frosty bite will soften with April’s rain. Easter, a celebration of new life and hope, is April 1 this year. Several Lake George chefs at some of the area’s finest restaurants have created tantalizing menus with an abundance of choices and flavors for their Easter brunch offerings.
