Being a mother myself, I have come to appreciate the wonder that is Mothers Day! It’s the one-day of the year that I don’t have to do laundry, clean dishes, organize a closet or make dinner. I get to just relax!

If you’re in the Big Apple this Mothers Day, here are a few great ideas to do with Mom.

SIP TEA
Enjoy a very ladylike and civilized afternoon with Mom at this special tea party at SALONTEA Teabar on Saturday, May 9th at 12:00pm. Tea will be served in elegant china teapots along with fresh-baked goodies. Be sure to make a reservation!

INDULGE
Mostly known for its fanciful desserts, Serendipity is a famous NYC restaurant that offers a comforting atmosphere and a delicious menu. Bring mom in for their delicious frozen hot chocolate or the Forbidden Broadway Sundae. This is a NYC treat NOT to be missed!

BE CREATIVE
For Mothers Day, head to one of the 60 galleries from the US, Europe, Asia, Canada and South America that will be exhibiting quality art that regular people can purchase (many of the pieces under $500) for the Affordable Art Fair NYC. Discover and buy paintings, drawings, sculptures, video, photography and limited edition prints from distinguished galleries from May7-10th.

GET PAMPERED
Bliss Spa is a wonderful place to spend the day with Mom. Right here on 57th street, just a few blocks away from the Roosevelt Hotel, you can treat yourselves to a mani/pedi or maybe even one of their famous facials or mesmerizing massages. If there’s one gift a mom always appreciates, its being pampered!
