Mother’s Day Pampering on our own Fifth Ave
By Joanna Tallantire
The forecast is sunny and warm for this Mother's Sunday. Where else would you go with mom, than one of the numerous cafes and restaurants on 5th Ave for brunch. Or better still, drop her at one of the many great nail salons, the tattoo parlour or a spa, with a large latte of course, for some pampering and most importantly, peace and quiet.
For the mum that wants to stay in bed; flowers, frothy coffee, gifts and breakfast can be collected or delivered all down 5th Ave from Dean to 18th. Whilst mom is lounging around, take the kids to the Old Stone House for a play and to visit the Sunday farmer’s market, to get lunch items.
If there is no time for any of this, get into one of the local stores before Sunday, there is so much to offer. Here is just a snippet of what I found:
