Mother’s Day most popular holiday for dining out, and here are some options
More people dine out on Mother’s Day than any other holiday, and the National Restaurant Association estimates that 75 million American adults will do just that this Sunday. And about 2 million of those diners will be trying to get into your favorite restaurant, so if you haven’t made your reservations yet, pick up the phone right now. And you may want to start thinking about a Plan B in case your top choice is already booked.
When it comes to meal times, dinner is most popular on Mother’s Day, according to the restaurant association’s newly released survey. Fifty-eight percent of Mother’s Day diners say they will go out to a restaurant for dinner on Sunday; 32 percent will go out for lunch, 24 percent for brunch, and 10 percent for breakfast. Interestingly, nearly one in five Mother’s Day diners (19 percent) say they will go out for more than one meal that day. Two-thirds of those dining out on Mother’s Day this year say children under the age of 18 will join their dining party.
