![Mother and daughter - Image by alinabuphoto](https://thewallace.com/hs-fs/hubfs/shutterstock_1616962489.webp?width=1148&name=shutterstock_1616962489.webp)

Mother’s Day is on its way, and if you’re staying at The Wallace, you’re in the perfect spot to make it really special. Sure, flowers and cards are lovely, but why not plan something a little different this year?

From beautiful brunches to creative outings just minutes from the hotel, the Upper West Side has plenty of ways to treat Mom to a day she’ll actually remember (and maybe brag about a little). Whether you're planning a whole family celebration or a nice weekend, here's your guide to Mother's Day with a little extra excitement and a whole lot of heart.

## Brunch That Feels Like a Hug

You can't go wrong with brunch. It's classic. It's cozy. And when you’re on the UWS, it’s also delicious. Here are a few favorite spots close to The Wallace Hotel.

## The Milling Room

If you’re looking for something that feels just a little more dressed-up, without being the least bit stuffy, [The Milling Room](https://www.the-milling-room.com/) is a beautiful choice. The dining room has a bright, open feel that’s ideal for a spring morning Mother’s Day celebration. The [brunch menu](https://www.the-milling-room.com/brunch) balances comforting classics with elegant touches, with lots to savor. Just a 15-minute walk from The Wallace, it’s close enough for convenience but feels like an escape from the everyday.

## The Ribbon

Just a 10-minute walk from The Wallace, [The Ribbon](https://www.theribbonnyc.com/) makes you feel instantly at home. The menu leans into American comfort food, so think fluffy pancakes, rotisserie chicken, and cocktails that go down easily. It’s the kind of spot where you can take your time, sip something bubbly, and not feel rushed. Great for a relaxed catch-up with mom, it strikes a lovely balance between familiar and elevated.

# A Little Adventure After Brunch

Once the plates are cleared and drinks are done, the day doesn’t have to end. In fact, some of the best Mother’s Day memories are made after the meal—when you’re doing something a little different, a little playful, and totally together.

Just a pleasant 10-minute walk from The Wallace, Color Me Mine is hosting a Mother’s Day Tea Party on May 11—and it’s the perfect way to celebrate with a little creativity (and a little tea). Settle in for an afternoon of painting ceramics together, all while sipping tea and enjoying sweet treats. It’s hands-on and a little messy, but you’ll leave with something mom can take home and smile at for years to come.

If your mom’s the outdoorsy type or just appreciates a good walk in nature, you can choose to take a peaceful stroll or join one of [NYC Parks’ Mother’s Day events](https://www.nycgovparks.org/events/mothers_day). These ranger-led walks are equal parts fun and educational, with themes ranging from local blooms to surprisingly fierce animal moms (yes, insect parenting is a thing). Events are held across the city, often just a short distance from The Wallace Hotel. It’s a lovely way to spend the afternoon in the fresh air, chatting and reconnecting while learning something new together.

Some of the city's most esteemed floral design studios are located near The Wallace Hotel. These establishments serve their loyal customers with beautifully wrapped flower bouquets for every occasion. 

These are some of the premier Mother's Day Flowers New York studios:

Tucked right along Amsterdam, just five minutes from the hotel, [Posies](https://posies.com/) is the kind of place that stops you mid-walk with its cheerful window display. Inside, you’ll find loose, whimsical bouquets and that wonderful fresh-flower smell. It feels less like a flower shop and more like a little love letter to spring.

A little farther uptown, [Jerome Florists](https://jeromeflorists.com/) is a true classic—family-owned, full of charm, and known for arrangements that feel thoughtful and elevated. It’s about a 15-minute cab ride from The Wallace, just across the park and up Madison. Perfect if you're looking for something a bit more polished, with a personal touch.

If you're heading downtown and want something bold and modern, [Scotts Flowers](https://www.scottsflowersnyc.com/) delivers. Think elegant arrangements, beautifully wrapped, with a little bit of drama. It’s about a 25-minute ride from The Wallace—an easy trip if you’re planning to pick up something truly memorable.

After brunch, gifts, and a day out exploring, there’s simply something about coming back to a hotel that feels calm, comfortable, and just a little bit indulgent. At The Wallace, you’ve got all of that, and then some. From plush beds and marble bathrooms to the quiet hum of the Upper West Side outside your window, it’s the perfect place to wind down.
