If Mother’s Day snuck up on you, you’re not alone!

Finding the perfect gift for Mom or the other ladies in your life, especially in a pinch, can be a challenge. Instead of wrapping up a gift she may or may not need or even want, give her something every woman can enjoy: the gift of time!

Schedule a Sunday lunch to celebrate the moms in your family. Having a relaxing and delicious meal with loved ones is a great way to give back to the ladies who give so much throughout the year. There are lots of renowned brunch and lunch spots in Philadelphia, including many near your The Isle apartment, sure to put a smile on Mom’s face. Here a few of the standouts:

Manayunk Brewing Company: The popular Main Street brewery and restaurant, three blocks from your The Isle apartment, is hosting a live jazz buffet to celebrate Mother’s Day. From 10:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m., indulge in one of Manayunk’s biggest brunch buffets, featuring an omelet station, waffles and much more, while enjoying sweet sounds from local jazz artists. Manayunk Brewing Company’s spacious venue means you can dine inside or outside—whatever Mom would prefer!

Winnie’s: Less than one block from your The Isle apartment, Winnie’s is one of the area’s most popular brunch spots. Fresh, locally sourced ingredients are used throughout the brunch menu, which features traditional favorites like waffles and pancakes, alongside more adventurous dishes such as crab cake eggs benedict and crème brulee French toast.

The Goat’s Beard: If you want to sip on some suds while you enjoy your brunch, head to The Goat’s Beard, two blocks from your The Isle apartment. The restaurant and bar serves an impressive range of wines, whiskeys and beers, all locally sourced. The well-rounded brunch and lunch menus are also made from local ingredients.
