Where to take any type of mom on her special day

Crepes on crepes on crepes

Since all moms are not the same (as proven by Timmy Johnson's, who actually stocked just Purple Stuff), we scoured the city to find the perfect spots to take that special lady who gave you life, whether she loves food, booze, or stuff that's just generally really expensive.Nervous-Regarding-The-World MomFontana at The Biltmore1200 Anastasia Ave; Coral Gables; 305.913.3200If your mom still warns you about going to “that part” of South Beach and locks her doors every time you turn West off US-1, she’s probably not going to get out of the car anywhere but Coral Gables. So it's best to head to The Biltmore, where she can dine on caviar, sushi, carved meats, pasta, and tons of other brunch stuff, while gazing out at the golf course and palm trees.Get more on The Biltmore's bougie brunches, right hereFoodie MomMichael’s Genuine130 NE 40th St; Design District; 305.573.5550If she refuses to eat the pancakes you make, even when they spell her damn name, you may as well just take her picky mom-ass to Michael’s Genuine, where she can go all gourmand on lemon-ricotta pancakes, a soft-scrambled duck egg with shiitake mushrooms, or a crispy rice cake with chorizo, Florida rock shrimp, eggs, and spicy tomato aoli.If you're a little turned on by lemon-ricotta pancakes, there's more...Mom Who Hates Your Life ChoicesSetai2001 Collins Ave; South Beach; 305.520.6000If your mom keeps badgering you about when you’re going to give up on all this “Miami nonsense”, find a nice girl, and move to West Broward, show her what all that child-free expendable income can buy at Setai. Pig out on carved lamb and steak, sushi, pasta, Indian food, and every other brunch choice imaginable, plus champagne, for $95 a person.Check out more upscale eats at SetaiParty MomTerrazza at the Shore Club1901 Collins Ave; South Beach; 305.695.3100If she's spent time in Scott Storch's Lambo in the past, you may as well start her off with brunch at the Shore Club’s Terrazza. She can knock back free bottomless mimosas and bellinis with her brunch before heading down to the Shore Club’s Sunday pool party, where she can finally find the Saudi sugar daddy of her dreams. Or at least someone to take her off your hands for the day.Boozy pool parties at Terrazza, you say? Right this way...Very Old MomRusty Pelican3201 Rickenbacker Causeway; Key Biscayne; 305.361.3818That Mother’s Day when she spent the whole brunch talking about the nice young man who saved her from drowning in the North Atlantic with a wooden door was rough. So, this year, give not-quite-young mom a nicer aquatic visual at the Rusty Pelican, where she can enjoy her traditional brunch to the soft sounds of Biscayne Bay, with a calming view of Downtown Miami and cruise ships that WON'T sink.
