Everyone wants to plan a memorable day for their mother on Mother’s Day. With this special day just around the corner —Sunday, May 14th — we must start planning! So, I’ve come up with the 5 best things to do in NYC for Mother’s Day to help you stress less and plan an amazing day together. I believe our mothers should be celebrated to the fullest, and I hope this helps you and Mom have the best day!
Mother’s Day at Wave Hill_Riverdale:
Spend Mother’s Day in the gardens for a family art project, a guided walk, a session of spring birding, free community yoga and a family nature walk. Enjoy the rare opportunity to picnic on the Wave Hill House Lawn. Bring your own feast or purchase a picnic. Reservations are required by Saturday, May 6. Those intending to picnic on the Wave Hill House Lawn may bring a blanket and outdoor folding chairs. Mother’s Day admission includes a $2 surcharge per visitor; there is no admission charge for children under 5.
A Broadway Musical on Mother’s Day:
For those who love musicals, going to a Broadway show in New York on Mother’s Day is an excellent option! Treat your mother to an unforgettable night out at one of the beautiful Broadway theatres. Classic shows such as Moulin Rouge, Chicago or Wicked are perfect for this special occasion.
La India Mother’s Day Concert_Bedford Park:
La India, a Puerto Rican singer-songwriter of salsa, house music and Latin pop, won 2016’s Latin Grammy Award for Best Salsa Album and has been nominated for a Grammy as well. Go see this Lehman Center favorite, whose energetic performances happen almost annually at the concert hall.
Dinner Cruise:
If you want to do something special on Mother’s Day in New York, a dinner cruise is a good idea. Enjoy dinner with views of the Manhattan skyline. For a luxurious dinner on a boat with large windows, book the Bateaux Dinner Cruise. You can also opt for another dinner cruise or lunch cruise in New York.
Afternoon Tea:
Afternoon tea at Alice’s Tea Cup in New York is a good tip for this day. Enjoy the biscuits, scones and sandwiches in an Alice in Wonderland atmosphere. They serve different kinds of afternoon teas, so whether you’re a small group or an entire family, there’s always one that suits your appetite. It’s very important to reserve in advance though.
Looking for a New York treat ‘on the go’ for your mother? There are many good bakeries in New York that sell delicious cupcakes. If your mother is a real Cake Boss fan, treat her to one of Buddy’s cupcakes at Carlo’s Bakery.
