With Mother's Day upon us, it's time to prepare for this joyous occasion. Whether you're planning on treating mom to a spa, exploring interesting landmarks, or dining out, you can't go wrong if you celebrate Mother's Day in Westchester. Below, we reveal all the best spots in the area that will delight your mom. 

European Luxury Day Spa (ELS)

Mother's Day in Westchester can be a truly magical experience if you pick the perfect spa to spoil mom. Fortunately, Westchester County is chock-full of phenomenal spas, and one of the best is the European Luxury Day Spa (ELS). ELS has a massive team of estheticians and massage therapists available to handle all aspects of body care. Whether your mom requires a full-body massage, facial, or microneedling, the experts at ELS will carefully attend to her exact needs.

Furthermore, ELS operates throughout the week and will be open on Mother's Day from 9 am to 8 pm. If mom can't visit the spa this Sunday, you can always purchase a Mother's Day gift card from ELS, which she can use later. To reach ELS from The Sleepy Hollow Hotel, hail a ride and take the I-287 E towards White Plains. It's approximately a 13-minute trip, but this may vary depending on the amount of highway traffic. 

Croqueteria

Tarrytown is renowned for its excellent and diverse range of eateries. If your mom's in the mood for a more casual and exotic dining experience, then a trip to Croqueteria is a must. This woman-owned sandwich cafe is a local favorite due to its warm atmosphere, outstanding customer service, and unbeatable croquetas.

Several house specialties include the bacalao cod, espinaca feta, and pastel de calabaza croquetas. But don't leave without ordering coffee like the cafecito, cafe bombon, and cafe con leche. The quickest way to reach Croqueteria from The Sleepy Hollow Hotel is via the South Broadway route. We recommend you hail a ride as it will only be a 10-minute trip. 

Sweet Grass Grill

If there's one way to ensure that your mom will have a splendid Mother's Day in Westchester, you must take her to Sweet Grass Grill. It's another local favorite that has earned its reputation for serving quality American cuisine and is vegan-friendly. The dishes are seasonal with ingredients sourced from local farms, so the menu changes according to the harvests in the area. Some delicacies you can expect to find on the menu include Joyce Farms half chicken, salmon filet, and spring orzo. It's about a 5-minute trip to reach the restaurant from the hotel along South Broadway, Prospect Avenue, and Altamont Avenue. 

Kykuit, The Rockefeller Estate

Make Mother's Day in Westchester an unforgettable experience by visiting one of the region's most important cultural landmarks: Kykuit, The Rockefeller Estate. This stunning mansion will impress your mom with its old-world charm and historical significance since four generations of the famous Rockefeller family lived here. It's also the ideal spot to take in some of the most amazing views of the Hudson River. But you'll want to visit with your mom primarily for the guided walking tours.

We recommend the Classic Tour (priced at $55 per adult and $53 per senior), as you'll have an opportunity to see the estate's main floor, art galleries, garden, and terrace within the 2-hour time frame that the tour lasts. However, you can't access the estate directly and must arrive 30 minutes before the tour starts at the Visitor Center at Philipsburg Manor. Once you check in at the ticket desk, a shuttle will transport you and your mom to the estate. It's a 14-minute trip to reach Philipsburg Manor via South Broadway if you hail a ride from The Sleepy Hollow Hotel.

Hudson Bistro

Treat mom to a delicious dinner at the Hudson Bistro, our in-house Kosher restaurant. The restaurant's understated yet cozy ambiance has made it a winner with families who wish to experience the best of Westchester's culinary scene. Several mouthwatering dishes on the menu include the butcher's cut steak, beef yemenite soup, and the Hudson salad. But no meal is complete without a few tasty sides, such as the Forest Mushrooms, Steak Fries, and Seasonal Vegetables.

The Hudson Bistro delivers all this at reasonable prices with world-beating customer service. And when you stay at our hotel, you'll have access to the restaurant between 7:00 am and 10:30 am for breakfast and between 5:30 pm and 10:30 pm for dinner. Your mom's bound to have a wonderful and memorable Mother's Day here, but we recommend you reserve a table to avoid disappointment.
