Places to WOW Mom in NYC on Mother’s Day

 

Everyday mothers give their all to their children so on the one day that they are celebrated, show your mom how much you appreciate all that she does for you.  A wrapped present is always nice but the two best gifts you can give her on Mother’s Day is a special day with her child and a relaxing day of pampering. Here are some ideas that will make her feel like the Queen that she is:

Grilled Octopus

Start off the day with brunch at Nerai (55 East 54th Street). The upscale Midtown Greek restaurant is offering a delicious Mother’s Day Brunch, which will include a long-stemmed rose for every mom and a complimentary mimosa, bloody mary or persephone with each entrée purchased on Sunday, May 10th.

From 11:30am to 3pm take your Mother on an Greek escape to experience Nerai’s brunch that highlight the tantalizing flavors of Greece, with menu items such as Tsoureki French Toast (Greek honey syrup/bananas/ seasonal berries), Poached Strapatsada (feta/ eggplant/ zucchini/ basil) and Grilled Octopus. Pair these brunch dishes prepared by Executive Chef Chris Christou with one of the complimentary cocktails offered or check out Nerai’s signature cocktails like the Athens on Fire, Marathos and Metaxa Blue.
