Ocean Prime in Center City will feature a special menu for Mother's Day Brunch, which includes French toast and $9 blood orange mimosas.
Mother’s Day is right around the corner on Sunday, May 12, and what better way to celebrate all things mom than with a little brunch at your favorite spot.
From Old City to the Art Museum, there are a number of places in the heart of Philly that are offering specials for Mother's Day. Sporting specials or even a Mother's Day brunch menu that will surely impress the best mom in the world.
With not much time left to make a reservation, it's probably best to reserve your table now. It's always best to plan these things (even if you weren't planned.) Though, I guess if you end up forgetting and every place is booked and you end up having to take her somewhere like Pat's or Geno's for a cheesesteak - that's fine. She'll be fine with it. Why wouldn't she be? It's not like she gave up the last bit of her youth to give birth and raise you. Oh wait...
So, yeah, maybe on second thought, you should peruse this list a bit thoroughly and take her somewhere nice.
