World’s Greatest Mom

2008 Mother’s Day Guide

Got a mom who rules? So do we! Time to start repaying her for all those times you “borrowed” her AmEx. (Sorry, Mom. This doesn’t even cover the interest.)

It’s the Most Important Meal of the Day
Nothing says “thanks for these hips” like Le Bec-Fin’s Mother’s Day brunch (hello, omelet station). Or head to XIX for breathtaking views, a few mimosas, and casual jokes about throwing Dad off the balcony.

Pretty Is As Pretty Does
During the month of May, Rescue Rittenhouse’s Mother’s Day special includes two or three services for a Benjamin: signature facial and brow shaping; mani, pedi, and makeup application; or Swedish massage with salt and sugar scrub.

Are You Going Out Dressed Like That
Walking, running, spinning, Pilates. Whatever your mom’s fitness inclinations, Philadelphia Runner will expertly fit her with kicks and gear that look as good as they feel.

Waste Not, Want Not
Buy her a snazzy Track+Field tote for groceries, beach reads, and whatever else she crams into a bag. She’ll love it. Especially when she’s schlepping all those veggies to her shiny new hybrid.

No wonder she loves you.
