Holy Week, for those who observe the practice, traditionally entails abstinence as a reference to Jesus Christ's 40-day fast as he ventured into the desert. Come Easter Sunday, we celebrate the resurrection—part of which involves feasting on great food! Made those Easter plans yet? Consider checking out the Easter buffets, confections, and other eats at these hotels and restaurants.
