Traditionally, many families give Mom a special outing on Mother’s Day with a special brunch or lunch at her favorite restaurant.
But Mother’s Day 2020 won’t be traditional. The coronavirus will change plans for most families, but it doesn’t have to be all bad.
While some restaurants are opening up for Mother’s Day weekend with limited seating, most are not. But restaurants that have stayed open during the pandemic, offering takeout and delivery services, will continue to do so this weekend and many are offering special deals for Mother’s Day.
