Forced to reinvent themselves amid the COVID-19 crisis, Miami Valley restaurants-turned-takeout hubs now welcome the chance to bring comfort to another change-in-the-making: Easter meals to go.
“So much will be different this year for the holidays and for many, that won’t be easy,” said Joe Castellano, owner of Amber Rose, who switched to takeout after coronavirus restrictions forced dining-room closures.
“Many families are separated now or can’t travel to see each other, so big gatherings of family and friends won’t happen like they usually do,” Castellano said. “Traditional holiday foods can bring normalcy, familiarity through food. If we can help make that happen, I’m honored.”
So order your Easter supper, plan to Zoom in your family and friends and celebrate the holiday with a great meal. This list is a work in progress, if you know of an Easter meal that should be added please let us know by email.

For a chance at marshmallow glory, you need to make a diorama of any size featuring Marshmallow Peeps. Your diorama must have a Dayton-inspired theme, but you can decided what that means to you, whether it is a replication of a Dayton landmark, a Dayton celebrity, a Dayton band, daily life in Dayton — basically, whatever you decide deserves interpretation through the ever-malleable medium of Peep.

Local mom Aubrey Medlin “first read about rainbows being displayed in Italy along with the phrase “Tutto andra’ bene,” or “Everything will be OK,” and I just thought it was such a nice gesture of hope, love, and peace. Then I read an article about a person in Philadelphia who added to the fun by not only displaying rainbows, but also creating a scavenger hunt for the kids in the neighborhood”
Aubrey has been mapping out the rainbows as they find them, now using google maps to plot them. “My son loves anything involving a map, so he has been happy to carry the map around and mark off our “found” rainbows. We even found some in some other neighborhoods while we were driving to pick up our groceries on a rainy day.”
announced today the third round of recipients in a series of grants awarded from the COVID-19 Response Fund for Greater Dayton to help local not-for-profits provide emergency, basic human needs during the COVID-19 crisis. Grants totaling $201,000 were awarded to the following 10 local not-for-profit organizations.
