Modify Mother’s Day this year with brunch to-go

PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — This Mother’s Day will be unlike any other, and some businesses are getting creative during coronavirus orders to help make moms everywhere smile.

Flowers are harder to get ahold of due to the pandemic, and, of course, brunch at mom’s favorite restaurant isn’t going to happen this year.

But some Philly eateries are encouraging residents to order delivery and bring brunch home.
