Hello, Gundo 👋 

There are tons of Easter events in town this week, though mostly on the day before Easter. (Though we do have plenty of Easter brunch options to share with you as well.)

As always, we aim to include every possible event in this newsletter. But when things pop up last minute or details change, we’ll always keep you posted on our Hello Gundo Instagram.

Here’s what’s happening around the neighborhood this week.
