When the fine folks at @giadavegas let you take the tasting menu back to your hotel room. I'm sure it's not the ideal experience, @giadadelaurentiis, but your tasting menu is still absolutely divine. (And it's helping this COVID-conscious business traveler relax in comfort!)

Easter egg hunts, friends, family, impromptu coordinating family outfits, and more food and chocolate than we know what to do with. Overall, it was a pretty good Easter. Happy Easter to you and yours!
