The dreaded Mother’s Day Brunch. As with Valentine’s Day and New Year’s Eve, it’s often overpriced and below expectations. Don’t get us wrong: brunch is an ingenious invention and you should certainly eat something this Sunday. We just think you should also do something interesting and enjoyable.
So, if you are a Baltimore Ma, tired of spending the one day you get a year in a crowded restaurant, scroll through the following Brew-list of fun, non-traditional options for your special day. (The following events all take place May 9th, unless otherwise noted).
Birthing with the Midwives at Maryland General Hospital
St. Anthony of Padua Church; 4 p.m.
“Maryland General Hospital in Baltimore is currently tied for having the lowest cesarean rate in the state.
