no fail, fabulously (cool) baltimore

mother‘s day guide

WHAT TO DO Laughter is always the best gift! Take her to Baltimore’s 2nd Annual Listen To Your Mother show on May 9th. Laughter, tears… this show has it all.

WHERE TO EAT She might love Breakfast At Tiffany’s but she hates a stuffy brunch.

Instead, make a reservation at Clementine. Blueberry Pancake Parfait + Shrimp Benedict.

Delicious. Maggie’s Farm is another fabulous option for farm-totable brunch! #BeMORE. Honor mom.

A mom on the go knows how important great kids’ programs are.

Honor her by making a donation to Boys and Girls Club of Metropolitan Baltimore or Baltimore Recreation & Parks.

WHAT TO MIX. Skip the white wine. Make the day a little more special with a Samoan Mule (a la Bookmakers). Fresh lime + grapefruit. Serenity now…

WHAT TO DO Get moving! Treat mom to a class at Beachfit Baltimore, Barre or even get her doing some parkour at Urban Evolution. Spend the afternoon soaking in visual culture at The Baltimore Museum of Art or The Walters (free kids’ activities while you’re there on Sunday afternoon!)

WHERE TO EAT Grab a light breakfast at Dooby’s (Banana Thyme bread - yum!) or a cup of coffee from Cunningham’s Bakery. Make a late lunch reservation with a view at Waterfront Kitchen (you could gift her a cooking class there, too!). #BeMORE. Honor mom.

Living life in color means this mom knows the value of the arts to the community. Give to ORCHKIDS, Access Art or Wide Angle Youth Media in her honor.

WHAT TO MIX. Straight up Rosé. Or maybe with a little bubble.
