Chic Brunches to Impress the Pickiest Moms This Mother’s Day
- By: Amanda Coscarelli
Mother’s Day is the one day a year when your mom really gets to be pampered. On other holidays, she’s making sure everything is perfect for those around her. On her birthday, she’s likely making the plans herself and making sure she doesn’t forget to send thank you cards to each and every guest. But on this one special day, it’s all about her. And there’s no better way to show her how much she matters than by making plans she’ll love.
Brunch is a classic for a reason. It feels more elevated than breakfast, there’s something for everyone and it gives her an excuse to plan a new outfit. Bonus points if you buy her a new bag or accessory she can show off. Whether she’s a strappy sandals and sun hat kind of girl or she rocks kitten heels and red lipstick, we’ve got a destination for every mom’s vibe. Let’s dive in!
Brunch by the Sea
Head to the Luna Solstice space at the Hotel Maya in Long Beach and indulge in classics with a latin flare like ancho chile lamb chops, tres leches pancakes with strawberry compote, portuguese sausage and manchego quiche, and churro french toast bites. Treat your mom with their signature “Mom Knows Best” cocktail, crafted with vodka, Aperol, vanilla, strawberry, lemon, and sparkling wine while you take in views of the Pacific Ocean and the Long Beach city skyline.
