Years ago the only restaurants near me that were open on Easter were Chinese. This year all the fast food ones were open, and every other restaurant too, not only the Chinese and Indian and diners. The movie theaters were all open. I don't remember them being open on Easter when I was a kid. Ditto for the grocery stores.
My mother and I went out for brunch and she was thinking nothing would be open, we would end up at a fast food joint or a diner. But EVERYTHING was open!
Also the liquor stores.
