1. The Sophisticated Seafood Brunch at Lure Fishbar
For the mom who appreciates a little luxury, Lure Fishbar hits the mark. Oysters, sushi, caviar, lobster rolls, and a deep dish cookie worth the hype—it’s brunch or dinner. (New York & Chicago)
2. The Steak Loving Mom at Bowery Meat Company
If Mom leans classic, give her the steakhouse treatment. Bowery Meat Company blends ambiance with serious food: dry-aged cuts, a rich duck lasagna, and expertly mixed martinis.



3. A Family Feast at Cha Cha Tang
Let Mom be the star of a flavor-packed dinner at Cha Cha Tang. The décor is bold, and the menu is full of Cantonese hits like their signature roasted duck, soup dumplings, XO fried rice, and creative cocktails. Perfect for families who like to share. Brunch and dinner service with outdoor available, weather permitting.
4. The Cozy Tavern Brunch (or dinner) at Smyth Tavern Tribeca
Tribeca charm, laid-back energy, and elevated comfort food? Smyth Tavern has all three. Treat Mom to steak and eggs, challah French toast, or a classic cheeseburger, and brunch cocktails.
5. The Stylish Dinner at Bar Mercer
This Mother’s Day, toast the occasion at Bar Mercer—dimly lit, effortlessly warm, and ideal for an evening that lingers. Enjoy selections from our raw bar, the signature Cowgirl steak, and chef specials crafted by Preston Clark. A perfect glass of wine, a decadent dessert, and a setting that feels quietly special.
Wherever you choose, you’ll find great food and a team ready to treat Mom like a queen. Got a special request? Just let us know—we’ve got you.
Fun fact: Mother’s Day became an official U.S. holiday in 1914 thanks to Anna Jarvis, who created it to honor her own mother. She’d probably love Lure Fishbar’s oysters, too.
