Mother’s Day Brunch is always appreciated by Mom. There are a number of places that are offering special Mother’s Day Brunches, but you will need reservations — and some places may be sold out! There are 55 places listed with Open Table that are having special brunches or menus for the day. In Baltimore County, Towson Mother’s Day menus are at  Cafe Troia, Cunningham’s, and Herb & Soul. In Hunt Valley, The Oregon Grille and Carlo’s Italian Bistro in Cockeysville have special brunches on OpenTable, while there are a number of others across the county, and a large number in the city.

Happy Mother’s Day to my Mom readers!
