Celebrating Mother's Day Around Westwood

While many might be looking to celebrate Cinco de Mayo today, others have their minds on another holiday coming up this Sunday - Mother's Day.

As such, we thought we'd roundup a few ideas for you, just in case you're looking for ways to celebrate this weekend.

Brunch at Chiara Bistro: Holding a special from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., Chiara will be offering a variety of menu items for brunch this Mother's Day. Choose from a fresh fruit plate for an appetizer and Poached Eggs Benedict for a main plate. The feast costs $39 for adults and $9 for children.

 Perhaps your mother enjoys a bit of the Italian flavor in her meals. If that's the case, Victoria's is the best nearby choice. Choose from a wide range of Italian fare, and even have a cocktail from the bar. 

 What better way to end Mother's Day than to enjoy some fresh ice cream at Bubbling Brook? The restaurant also offers a variety of seafood plates, among other dishes, in case you're looking for a nice home-style meal in addition to some top-notch ice cream.

 Some moms just like the fresh air. If that's the case, what better way to enjoy it than with a walk through one of Hale's trails. The scenery is perfect for the time of year, as luscious greens replace the barren branches of trees or shrubs from a harsh winter.

 Another option is to enjoy the open air while enjoying a made-at-home lunch. And Buckmaster Pond is the perfect spot for both. Enjoy some Frisbee on the open field, or walk along the shore of the pond itself.
