By Emily Drez
Mother’s Day is May 14 this year, the perfect time to get together with your family and celebrate the moms that made everything possible. And, what a better time of the day to do it than brunch? There are so many places in New Orleans with fantastic brunch menus, but we’ve compiled a list of a select few to help you make a decision. Happy Mother’s Day!
