Two For Mum: Mother's Day Brunch & Spa Combos

It may seem like the biggest Mother’s Day cliché (next to corner deli flowers) but we’ve yet to meet an NYC mom who would be bummed about being treated to brunch on May 14th. But, in a city that’s teeming with brunch spots, it may feel impossible to pick just the right one. Not to worry. We did the taste-testing for you and, behold, our list of more than a dozen places the mom in your life will absolutely love. Bonus: We’ve paired each with a nearby spa: The ultimate Mother’s Day double feature!

For Classic and Seasonal with a True Getaway: The Red Lion Inn

Really want to treat the mom in your life? Book an overnight at the Red Lion Inn in the heart of the Berkshires. The historic inn's menus created by Executive Chef Brian J. Alberg feature classic dishes prepared with fresh ingredients from local farms. Indulge in Berkshire apple pancakes with caramelized apples, brown sugar and Ioka Farm maple syrup, Bulich Farm shiitake mushroom hash with poached eggs, or a traditional eggs benedict. To keep things light, try BOLA® granola Gluten-Free Almond-Pepita Granola, cow's milk yogurt from Ronnybrook Farm and seasonal berries and preserves.

Chill: Slip into a plush robe and relax by the heated pool, or enjoy a complimentary yoga class with Berkshire yoga instructor and health and wellness coach Kat Whitney on Sundays and Tuesdays. Also of note: luxury spa Canyon Ranch
is a 10-minute drive away in Lenox, where they have something called a "Euphoria Body Treament."
