Patricia Unterman would like everyone to “Guess again if you thought mom wants a day at home with the family” on Mother’s Day “73 percent of moms like to dine out.” The places she’d like to be taken, hint hint? Bar Agricole, for one, with their “ethereal” gnudi and “exquisite artisan cocktails”; Farina for a dish of their mandilli di seta, which we featured in our Best Pastas feature; Nopalito for their Mexican-style brunch; or Out the Door for at least one plate of imperial rolls.

Furthermore, Tablehopper’s Marcia Gagliardi has a few other ideas, including a Mother’s Day prix fixe at One Market, or special three-course brunches being offered by Spruce and Foreign Cinema. Also, A16 is doing something nice in giving a flower on a arrival and a gift box full of biscotti and cookies to all mothers who come to dine that evening. [Tablehopper]
