Looking to do something special for Mom this Mother’s Day? Whether you’re looking for a day of indulgent relaxation or a unique way to spend time with your Mom – or the mother figures in your life – Warwick has plenty of options to celebrate.
Tell Mom the kitchen’s closed and head out for a delicious brunch at Harbor Lights, where their Grand Ballroom will feature a beautifully-curated spread of chef-attended stations, brunch favorites, decadent desserts, and live piano music in an elegant setting. It’s the perfect way to gather with family, relax, and treat the special women in your life to a memorable waterfront celebration. Reservations are available from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Enjoy a slice of history along with your meal at Iron Works, once home to the Rhode Island Malleable Iron Works Factory. Their buffet will be offered on their second floor from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and will feature all your favorites and more, including a festive dessert selection. The factory’s original offices, located on second floor, features beautifully-restored original woodwork, a fireplace, and bar. Elevator and stairway access to the second floor are available to all guests. Spots fill up fast, so reserve your table today! Prefer to dine a little later in the day? Their regular a la carte menu will be offered from 3 to 9 p.m. in the main downstairs dining area.
Flowers as beautiful as your Mom’s smile await those celebrating the day at Governor Francis Inn! The restaurant has origins dating back to the early 1900s, when it was the Governor Francis Steak House. The locally-owned inn is named after former Rhode Island Governor John Brown Francis, who served from 1844 to 1845. Join their friendly, dedicated staff for a special Mother’s Day meal filled with love, great food, and lovely memories. Cheerful flowers for every Mother!
Whether you’re in town to visit and staying at the Crowne Plaza, or are locals looking for a mouthwatering brunch, their Mother’s Day celebration is sure to have something to suit every palate. Between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., their newly-renovated Plaza Ballroom will offer a delicious spread that includes Belgian waffle & crepe stations, classic breakfast favorites, carving stations with prime rib & pork tenderloin, a fresh seafood display, decadent desserts & more. Seating will be offered at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.
If your Mom would prefer to be enjoying the great outdoors, our spacious parks offer both wooded and waterfront paths that are great for hiking, walking, and biking. Pack a picnic lunch filled with sandwiches, salads, and drinks from terrific, locally-owned spots like Mousie's Deli, Café Tempo Coffee House, Antonio’s Bakery & Charlie’s Deli, and Presto Strange O all of which offer generous portions, fresh ingredients, and some of the friendliest staff around. Lay down a blanket or set up chairs and enjoy nature’s beauty as you refuel and refresh after your walk. Or bring a pair of binoculars to birdwatch or spot some of the other wildlife that call our parks home.
Is Mom a fan of craft beers? Head on down to Proclamation Ale for their wide assortment available in their taproom and enjoy a bite from on-site food trucks. Or take in views of the majestic Pawtuxet River from the outdoor patio at Apponaug Brewing Company, located in the historic Pontiac Mills (fun fact: the original home of Fruit of the Loom). Both are dog-friendly (outside areas) for leashed pets.
Life gets busy, and we all deserve a chance to relax and recharge! A gift certificate for Tranquil Touch Mind & Body Spa or Blue Sky Spaworks is a great present for Mom to enjoy at her leisure in the future. Or take in a show at The Gamm Theatre and cap the night off in style with a specialty cocktail and a bite at The Social House, The Jefferson Speakeasy, or Jefferson & Company – these all offer great ambiance and a staff committed to excellent service and ensuring a unique experience for their guests.
Finally, if you’re headed in to town to visit for the weekend – or just want to help your Mom escape her daily routine for a bit – our hotels offer a wide range of lodging options at affordable price points and are conveniently located either right off Interstate 95 or close to Rhode Island T.F. Green International Airport.
However you choose to celebrate Mom and other special women in your life, we wish you a happy day filled with love, many laughs, and memories created that you can cherish always.
