Show Mom a Good Time!
|
"Do it! Take your Mama out all night -- so she'll have no doubt we're doing all the best we can..." The Scissor Sisters may have had the right idea, but these days it can be tough to get Mom to pull an all-nighter, unless your name is Lourdes or Frances Bean. Luckily for the rest of us, we can still pop open the bubbly and take her out on the town. C'mon, yelpers -- it's time to show some love to the woman who gave birth to you!
What Mom doesn't love a decadent brunch, and thankfully, we have no shortage of them in this fair city. The eggs benedict is simply transcendent at Choquet's, where yolks burst at the tender touch of a fork, and "rivers of gooey gold spill over banks of tender salmon and crunchy pillowy brioche." For non-traditional brunch fair, Leslie W does it the South Indian way at Dosa -- while their dosas and curries are hot hits, their Seasonal Fruit Napoleon uttapam is like an exotic take on the pancake! Across town (and nearly across from Spruce) is The Magic Flute; you'll find Alison R soaking up the sun in their secluded back garden with "bellinis and a bottle of Le Crema Chard."
Flowers have a way with the women, and Moms are no exception. The magic artistry and elegance of the arrangements at Rossi & Rovetti make them "the Mercedes Benz of flower shops," while the hip Mom will appreciate the fabulousness factor of Ixia, whose arrangements are woodsy and ethereal and "feel like a natural occurring phenomena," according to Alex T. And when a flower shop receives over 100 positive yelps about them, like Church Street Flowers has, it's not hard to discern a pattern of gorgeousness. Bloom on!
Want to pull off something extra special? Sure, you could get Mom a massage, but wouldn't she be proud to know that you had her long-term health in mind when she received a gift certificate for rolfing from you? Or how about an immersive flotation session? For an over-the-top and off-land excursion, Ed U is partial to Hornblower Cruises, where the views are spectacular, the waffles are Belgian, and the champagne is bubbly. Nothing but the best for M-O-M!
