Easter Bunny Helps Raise Autism Awareness

1770 House diners got the chance to win a really big dessert.

Just in time for Autism Awarenss Day — today, Tuesday — an Easter Bunny helped raise money for a local autism advocacy group.

On Sunday, Sag Harbor-based chef George Hirsch won the three-foot hollow chocolate Easter Bunny at the 1770 House.  

Hirsch, a television host, chef, producter, and a cookbook author, was among the diners at the East Hampton Village restaurant, which was holding a raffle to benefit The Flying Point Foundation for Autism, a non-profit organization based in Water Mill. We hear Hirsch bought an armful.
