What to Do with Your Mom on Mother’s Day in New York City

Spending Mother’s Day in NYC opens up endless possibilities for festivities on the weekend of May 12th. We suggest a day spa for the workaholic, a Broadway musical for the sentimental, and a one-of-a-kind museum experience for the active, and hands-on. No matter where you go or what you do, we hope you’ll start this special morning off right with a decadent three-course brunch at The Knick.

A Stellar Brunch

Charlie Palmer at The Knick’s Mother’s Day brunch menu consists of three courses highlighting Chef Charlie Palmer’s refined American cuisine. Past menus have included dishes like Loup de Mer with morel mushrooms and pea puree, and decadent housemade tagliatelle.

An Indulgent Spa Treatment

Treat your mother to a decadent spa day of self care at one the best day spas in NYC. New York Magazine loves Park Ave’s Oasis Day Spa. Trust us—book the lava stone massage. Warm basalt stones and cool marble stones are combined with a traditional massage technique to achieve blissful relaxation. Oasis Day Spa: 1 Park Ave; 212-254-7722

A Broadway Show

Head to the theater to see one of the best spectacles in New York City. From the deeply poignant Dear Evan Hansen, Come From Away and Waitress to the nostalgic My Fair Lady and Pretty Woman there are myriad options. Consider a classic, long-time favorite like The Lion King or Chicago, or check out some of the buzzed-about new shows in town, like Mean Girls or the bold Irish play The Ferryman. And of course, there’s always Hamilton. Check out our blog for reviews of what The Knick team has seen.

A Shopping Spree

From Gianni Versace, to Fendi and Harry Winston, you can’t go wrong with a shopping trip along 5th Ave. No time limit, no budget, no whining! Set mom loose, and let her spoil herself on Mother’s Day. She’s always done the same for you.
