Make Mother’s Day Brunch Reservations Now In Ridgewood, Glen Rock

RIDGEWOOD, NJ — Everything Mom has done over the past year of the coronavirus pandemic should add up to an extra-special 2021 Mother’s Day celebration on Sunday, May 9. To start her the day off right, how about taking Mom to her favorite Ridgewood or Glen Rock brunch or dinner spot?

Many restaurants and eateries are still limiting seating, so making a reservation early is especially important this year. And if you’re still undecided about going to a sit-down restaurant, curbside pickup or delivery is an option in many places.

Some hometown restaurants here in Ridgewood and Glen Rock that are always good bets to pamper Mom include:

• The Glen Rock Inn, 222 Rock Rd., Glen Rock, (201) 445-2362
• Raymond's, 101 E. Ridgewood Ave., Ridgewood, (201) 445-5125
• Stone & Rail, 175 Rock Rd., Glen Rock, (201) 345-0709

But again, call ahead for reservations; some of your local favorites may be closed on Mother’s Day so the moms who work there can have a day off with their families.

Many restaurants offer prix fixe menus, signature cocktails, decadent desserts and five-star service.
