After you found that perfect gift, plan to take your mom for drinks, brunch, or dinner to any number of amazing spots in The District. Here are just a few ideas:
Enjoy eco-friendly menu items and atmosphere at Bellagreen, while sipping delicious $2 mimosas. It's the best place for the best vegetarian, vegan, GF and paleo dishes.
If you prefer to have a more formal celebration, then reserve a table or just come to Perry’s Steakhouse & Grille for a Sunday Super Special ($34.95 per person) that includes a choice from six salads, Perry’s famous seven-finger high pork chop and a dessert trio of vanilla bean crème brulée, chocolate crunch and praline cheesecake. The best part about Mother's Day at Perry's is that the dinner menu is available all day (Mothers Day).
Start celebrating early and invite your mom or that special lady in your life to a Crayola Create It Yourself (CIY) event at Macy's Memorial City on May 11, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. to discover how to turn your favorite colors into your creative new artwork. At this workshop, artists of all ages will create Mother’s Day memories one melted masterpiece at a time.
Last but not least, Mom always appreciates a beautiful bouquet of flowers which can be easily found at HEB on Bunker Hill or at Randall’s in Town and Country.
We hope this guide will help you to make this Mother's Day memorable. And remember to make your mom feel special and loved every day.
