We have longest weekend for quite some time before us, so how are you planning on enjoying it? Did you, like many in our office, run out of time and are now scrambling for ideas? Spending a miserable candy free holiday away from your folks? Never Fear! We are here to offer you the best of the best Easter options! 

EAT!
Easter is an even more of an excuse than Christmas to eat like a fool. Chocolate for breakfast? Yes please! Good Christians may observe the No Meat on Good Friday rules, but the rest of us heathens will most likely forget to shop ahead, and be very dismayed to find our favorite eateries closed!

If you are going to spend a rainy long weekend cooped up indoors, make like Nigella and get cookin' chookin!

Smitten Kitchen from New York, is a food lovers paradise in blog form. This recipe for Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake sounds ridiculous, but looks delicious. Throw a few Cadbury mini eggs on top, and you have some amazing Easter glutton to impress all of your homies.

Also, as far as Easter Eggs from the supermarket go, our greedy eyes are always watering for Lindt Bunnies. Deliciousness with edible ears.

PLAY!
Rain can ruin all of your fun, so if the clouds are grimming out your weekend turn to Trivial Pursuit, Scrabble and Monopoly for the best fun ever. If you’re feeling sure you’re not about to puke after a gazillion Easter eggs, pull out the twister for good old fashion fun and games...

If it clears up, take yourself outside and get yourself a kite, some beers and some friends. Kite flying adventures are always fun. It is harder than you think though, seriously! Beer Pong is also great fun, but not quite the same.... Easter egg hunts! Confuse and entertain your flatmates with a full blown egg hunt. Not chicken's eggs though, that sucks.

DRINK/PARTY!
We had Parties is on again at The Exchange Hotel. Comprising of a monster mash of party, you can expect the Purple Sneakers/Hot Damn/Health/P*A*S*H crowds to be ready for rowdiness. Tickets are $20 from Moshtix, make your parents proud!

Creamfields is also on, for the Dance crowd. Featuring The Bloody Beetroots, MSTRKFT and we bet more cut of denim than you can throw a cliché at! For more info click here.

OUTDOORS!
Camping is fun. Fresh air and sleeping bags. Our recommendations are Seal Rocks, The Basin, Cockatoo Island and The Royal National Park. All amazing camping locations, and mostly not too far away if you are planning a last ditch effort to escape reality and the boring city scenery. Maybe you could catch your own Good Friday fish? Or find someone with a motorbike and ride on into the sunset for an adventure. Adventures are fun! Walk around in some bush and pretend to be Bear Grylls for a few hours.

MOVIE MAGIC
Head to the movies for some 3D action with Clash Of The Titans. Sam Worthington has already proved how amazing he looks jumping out of your screen in Avatar, how could this disappoint? 3D violence and LOUD NOISES are the perfect cure for a rainy long weekend. Plus, it's like a history lesson, right? The Blind Side is good for a cry so take your mum or gay best friend. Boys, just suffer through it for some post movie cuddling. She's Out Of My League is one of the worst movie titles, ever. It actually SOUNDS lame. If you want jock humour and quotes to annoy everyone with when you go back to work, this is your movie. Step away from the World of War craft for an afternoon and witness movie magic as a 10 falls for a 5. Yeah, right.
