The Ultimate Sydney Easter Weekend Itinerary 2014

Easter is one holiday that can lose its sheen pretty quickly. Usually once your parents decree you're"too old" for Easter egg hunts. But with the four-day break and eating-centred celebrations (becauseyou fasted for the last six weeks for Lent, right?), there's plenty to get excited for, particularly with thenearby Anzac Day turning this into a ten-day holiday for many.* While some venues shut, others turnon the charm. Only the best have made it into this list, our Ultimate Easter Weekend Itinerary. See youat the Fish Markets, Aqua Egg Hunt and hot cross bun burger queue.

*Did you notice that we didn't say egg-cited? That took all of our effort.

12pm: Recovery Brunch at the Beresford Hotel
