For our neighbors who haven’t yet finalized their Easter plans this year, here are a few notes on having your gathering in or around the neighborhood:

- The [Flatbush Tompkins Congregational Church](https://sites.google.com/site/flatbushtompkins/home?ref=bklyner.com) (424 E 19th Street at Dorchester Road) is holding four events this weekend–one tonight at 7:30pm, one tomorrow at 8:30pm, and two on Sunday (7:30am and 10:45am). See full details on Holy Week services [here](/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Holy-Week-services.pdf).
- [Stems Flower Shop](http://stemsbrooklyn.com/?ref=bklyner.com) (1118 Cortelyou Road between Stratford and Westminster Roads, 347-240-5850) will be assembling bouquets and other arrangements in $35, $50, and $70 sizes, plus they’re happy to deliver to your door. Call to preorder or stop in from 10am-5pm Saturday or 10am-5pm Sunday–or whenever they run out!
- [Hamilton’s](http://hamiltonsbrooklyn.com/?ref=bklyner.com) (2826 Fort Hamilton Parkway, 718-438-0488) will be serving a special holiday lamb stew for Easter brunch and dinner. [Ox Cart](http://www.oxcarttavern.com/?ref=bklyner.com) (583 Argyle Road on the corner of Newkirk Avenue, 718-284-0005) will also be holding Easter brunch, and of course your favorite other [local brunch spots](/blog/food/not-quite-breakfast-not-exactly-lunch-where-to-brunch-in-ditmas-park) will be serving yummy grub. Local bakeries [John’s](https://www.facebook.com/pages/Johns-Bakery-Bagels/306531762728786) (1322 Cortelyou Road on the corner of Rugby Road, 718-287-6799) and [La Nueva Union](http://www.yelp.com/biz/la-nueva-union-bakery-brooklyn?ref=bklyner.com) (1114 Cortelyou Road between Stratford and Westminster Roads, 718-284-7218) are great for cookies and cakes as always.
- [Our neighbors in the Brooklyn Symphony Orchestra](/blog/art-music/talking-to-karen-zuegner-of-the-brooklyn-symphony-orchestra-as-their-40th-season-begins) are playing a [Russian Easter Overture](https://brooklynsymphonyorchestra.org/events/rimsky-korsakov-anderson-mahler/?ref=bklyner.com) at the [Brooklyn Museum](http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/home.php?ref=bklyner.com) (200 Eastern Parkway between Underhill and Washington Avenues) this Sunday at 2pm.
