Ah, Mother's Day. A time to force your mom to dress up and hang out with you when she'd probably rather be blissfully forgetting the twelve terrible hours it took to birth you and each of your ungrateful siblings. But a mimosa can make up for years of pain and ingratitude, right? If you can't manage to make your own mother's day canape for your moms, you can continue the tradition of Mother's Day Brunch/Lunch/Dinner at one of the following:
Beehive (541 Tremont Street)
Brunch, 10am - 4pm, with Sharon Jones' Jazz Standards from 11am to 3pm. Or, try dinner from 5pm-1am with Jazz Standards by Elenora Bianchini from 3 to 7pm or Salsa Sundays salsa dancing, 8 till midnight. Call 617-423-0069.

Burtons Grill (1363 Boylston St)
"We wanted to skip the long waits and high-priced breakfasts that have become part of the Mother’s Day culture,” says Kevin Harron, CEO of Burtons Grill, so the restaurant is open for dinner all day long.
