Mother’s Day Brunch at The Garden City Hotel May 9, 2010

The Garden City Hotel hosts a Mother’s Day brunch buffet with celebrations made even more special as children can decorate cookies to create a special presentation for mothers.

Set in the legendary hotel’s elegant Grand Ballroom, seatings for the award-winning brunch designed by Chef Steven De Bruyn are at noon and 3 p.m on Sunday, May 9. The cost is $69 plus tax and gratuity per adult; and half-price, $34.50, for children under 12-years-old. Reservations are strongly recommended by calling (516) 747-3000.

The region’s top Zagat-rated brunch was further distinguished in 2010 as a top 10 USA hotel brunch by GAYOT.com (www.gayot.com), a resource to those in search of the best dining, hotels, travel and lifestyle choices internationally.

Guests will enjoy a myriad of creative culinary stations featuring delectable omelets and a wide variety of breakfast favorites. A selection of gourmet pastas and sauces are prepared to order. There are seasonal salads, savory meats from the carving station and a seafood extravaganza featuring lobster, shrimp and salmon. Cold salads, fresh fruits and platters of imported and domestic cheeses complement the dining experience along with freshly baked breads, muffins, pastries and among the delectable desserts, a chocolate fountain. Brunch beverages include unlimited Bloody Mary and Mimosa cocktails, coffee and tea.

“Our brunch makes every Sunday special yet on Mother’s Day we add another dimension for the whole family. Children can create their own special presentation to moms with personally decorated cookies. We look forward to warmly welcoming everyone,” says general manager Nasser Samman.

For those who wish to gift mothers with the extraordinary brunch experience any Sunday of the year, Sunday Brunch gift cards are now available online at http://www.gardencityhotel.com/giftcenter/catalog.cfm?Id=15 and at the hotel gift shop.
