Some of Our Favorite Mother’s Day Activities

Brunch Munch Kick off your Mother’s Day with a traditional family feast. Some of our favorite kid-friendly brunch places: Norma’s, Alice’s Tea Cup, Big Daddy’s, Bubby’s, Penelope & Sarabeth’s

Mommy And Me Manicure Mom gets to relax and daughter gets to feel like a big kid when you both go get your nails done. Follow it up with a sweet treat for both of you afterwards.

Spa Day Take time for just you and do it in the most relaxing way possible; at the spa. Get a massage, a pedicure, manicure, facial, anything that you heart desires. After all, you deserve it.

Get Crafty Art projects just aren't for the kids. Head over to Make Meaning and you and the kids take part in cake decorating, soap making, and even making beaded jewelry. The best part is you get to take it home and cherish is forever!   .

Matchy Matchy Splurge on matching mother/daughter outfits from Lily Pulitzer or Milly. Or if you want to keep your mini-me look confined to the house, try matching pajamas from PajamaGram.com for the whole family.

My Ferry Lady Take the free Staten Island ferry roundtrip and wave hello to the Statue of Liberty. You get an amazing view of Manhattan coming and going and a chance to sneak in a little bit of history too.

Game Time If you were the kind of mom who loved Pac-Man, Super Mario Brothers or Tetris you and your kids will have a blast at Dave & Buster’s in Times Square. Go head to head with your son in a simulated race car track, challenge your daughter to bust a move in Dance Dance Revolution or send them off with some tokens so you can get your arcade on alone.

Play Dress Up Little Girls ages three to eight can channel their inner Kate Middletons at Let’s Dress Up’s store on the Upper East Side. Boys will love turning into junior policemen at the New York City Police Museum

High Time For High Tea Tell your little girl you’re taking her for tea at the Plaza’s Eloise room or American Girl and you just might get her to clean her room.

Choose Beyond Chocolate Take a walk around Chinatown. Kids love to see the shops and traditional restaurants (Mommy what’s that in the window?) and make a stop at the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory and try some off-the-beaten-path flavors like red bean or green tea cones.

Hole in One Practice your putt while enjoying some family bonding over mini golf. We love taking the shuttle to the courses at Randall’s Island or the water taxi to the South Street Seaport’s Water Taxi Beach.

Pic-a-nic Basket Pack your blanket, a iPod filled with kiddie tunes and head to the nearest bagel place to buy yourself a New York City picnic. Spread out in any one of the city’s great parks and while away the afternoon, without worrying about visiting bears.
