Comments Off on Celebrating Mothers and Their Endless Sacrifices in New York City

Motherhood is the most precious gift in the world for both mothers and children. Though we don’t acknowledge our mothers enough, the universe dedicates an entire day to them on Mother’s Day. But, yes, we know that isn’t enough to appreciate their sacrifices and contributions to the family and society.

This year, the international theme for Mother’s Day is “Acknowledging the idea of motherhood.” The idea of motherhood embraces selflessness, confidence, love, and the heart of a mother. Carmel Limos New York City salutes all the brave and hardworking mothers who give it all daily to survive in the city of dreams.

At Carmel Limos, many mothers work with us and make a difference each day. On Mother’s Day, New York City will host many events, shows, and venues to celebrate the heroes of the real world. We’ve curated a list for you in this blog. But before diving in, let’s understand the History of Mother’s Day.

How it Started

International Mother’s Day celebrations go back to Anna Jarvis, the lady who commemorated the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day to fulfill her mother’s wish of celebrating mothers. After her mother’s demise, Anna held a memorial in West Virginia at St. Andrew’s Methodist Church. 

Jarvis’s touching gesture caught the attention of people around her, who slowly adopted the custom of honoring mothers. As a result, Mother’s Day was gradually recognized as a global celebration that saw the participation of many students, youngsters, and even older people. 

The idea was to acknowledge the love and contributions of mothers to their children and families. The sacred bond between mothers and children is the highlight of celebrating this day. 

Carmel Limos and Mother’s Day

New York has the perfect formula to make mothers of all ages happy, including venues, food, and the weather. 

Whether you are celebrating new mothers, middle-aged moms, or experienced mothers, as New York gears up to celebrate mothers through gifting, events, getaways, and lots of shopping, Carmel Limos NYC focuses on increasing our fleet of limos, providing safe transportation, and offering good quality services on a busy day.

We offer special roundtrips discounts, hourly waiting, and point-to-point riding services. To know more, please download our mobile app. In addition, you can select a sedan if you plan a day out with your mother or a minivan to hang out with your friends and their mothers. 

A special occasion calls for a special vehicle. So we highly recommend our luxurious limousine for a special treat to your mom, no matter where she wants to venture on her special day.

Whether your mother is a fancy mom, coffee mom, pajama mom, or an entourage mom, we’ve got you covered in this blog.

The Bridgerton Experience

Participate in this immersive experience together, which includes the décor from the Regency era, the plush surroundings, costumes, and the ballroom from the hit web series. 

The Queen’s Ball will take you centuries back with a modern twist of cocktails and finger food. Get immersed as the characters in the period drama with Bridgerton-inspired music in the backdrop. Dress up in your best costumes and put your best dancing foot forward. Participate in photo ops or witness a captivating dance show and acrobatics at the event.

This interactive experience will include early entry tickets to the venue and a glass of sparkling Archer Roose. In addition, group bundles are available for the event, so you and your friends can have a ‘ball of a time’ with your mothers.

SUMMIT One Vanderbilt

Sink in the spectacular views of the city skyline at thousand two-hundred feet above Manhattan in an all-glass elevator. When you visit this iconic observatory with your mother, you can expect a truly immersive experience that bends reality with three-dimensional views and endless photo opportunities. 

On Mother’s Day, the venue will serve “mom-mosas” to delight visitors in addition to the elevating experience. The world’s largest exterior glass-floor elevators will take you 354 feet above the tall-standing building to offer a breathtaking panoramic view.

In addition to the views, you can walk through galleries of contemporary art designed by Kenzo Digital and indulge in cocktails. The mind-bending optical illusions will challenge your senses and reimagine the meeting point of Physics and Time. We recommend this experience to all sci-fi mothers, especially the Skydeck, which offers an aerial view of a lifetime. 

The space also features Après, an open-air terrace bar Union Square Events helms. In addition, new York’s highest outdoor garden will serve handcrafted cocktails, culinary delights, and aerial thrills. So don’t miss this opportunity to make Mother’s Day spectacular 1200 feet above the ground.

Dining in the Dark

This unique dining experience at the Leuca Restaurant is not just for those dating but for mommy-kiddo duos too. If the venue isn’t surprising enough, the blindfolded theme sure is. Right from selecting the food from the menu to finishing with mouthwatering dessert, the diners are blindfolded. 

The idea is to let the flavors and the experience seep into all the senses without seeing anything. ‘Mystery’ is the name of the game where the tasting journey guides you through the taste of the cuisine. You can choose meat, seafood, or vegan offerings for starters, mains, and desserts. A typical menu looks like the following:

Meat Menu

Starter: A rich fusion of flavors immersed into meaty treats that will catch your senses by surprise.

Main: An ideal combination of earthy and meaty ingredients to make mains like Antipasti, Lumache, and Bavette Steak Vesuvius.

Dessert: An eclectic mix of pure Sicilian flavors to culminate in delights like Sicilian Pistachio Cake, Strawberry-Rhubarb Cheesecake and Lambrusco Sorbet, Gelato Del Giorno, and Affogato.

Seafood Menu

Starter: Smokey and strong flavors are served with a creamy touch in dishes like Black Tonnarelli (Ruby Shrimp and Local Calamari).

Main: A hearty meal that’s an Italian masterpiece to wow your senses that may include Grilled Octopus (‘Nduja, Salsa Giallo) or Bucatini Calabrese (Calabrian Chili, Manila Clams, and Oreganata).

Dessert: A creamy sweet delight topped with a perfect hint of fruitiness like the Gelato E Sorbetto Del Giorno.

Vegan Menu

Starter: A veggie-only dish that is wholesome and delicious, like Casarecce Alla Norma (Sicilian Eggplant Sugo) or Grilled Asparagus (Smoky Trapanese, Guanciale, and Egg Mimosa).

Main: Tongue-tickling mains like Warm Stuffed Marinated Olives or Sheep’s Milk Ricotta with hot honey & garlic and grilled bread.

Dessert: Fresh ingredients with a zesty combination of fruits or hearty ice cream like Strawberry-Rhubarb Cheesecake with Lambrusco Sorbet, or try the Sicilian Pistachio Cake.

The dining experience lasts 90 minutes from 6 pm to 9.30 pm, where award-winning chefs specially curate the secret menu, including South Italian flavors.
