Happy Mom's Day!!

Good Morning Everybody - and let's hear it for the Moms out there! 

It's her day, so make her a special breakfast in bed, take her to a champagne brunch (check out food critic, Tom Fitzmorris, for some great ideas for mom), and remember to give her a big hug!

Here's what's going on today for those special Mom's out there!

Sunday Events

One of the most special New Orleans events is Mother's Day at the Zoo with FREE admission for all moms on Mother’s Day - it's an Audubon Zoo tradition going back more than twenty years!  The Pfister Sisters take the stage at 12:30, and at 2:30 it's New Orleans favorite, Irma Thomas!!  Shop at the craft tents and pick out something special for your mother. Special treats such as stuffed peppers, pastas, baked chicken, hand dipped strawberries and more will be available for purchase so Mom doesn’t have to cook on her special day.  It's going to be a beautiful day out there!

For the moms out there who want to stay up a little later....there's the annual Hot Mama Review at One Eyed Jacks (615 Toulouse St)....You'll see your favorite aerialists, magicians, burlesque dancers, and their MOMS!  Two shows at 8:00 and 10:00 pm....Tickets are $15 general admission or $20 for reserved table seating...To reserve a table call 504.319.8917...AND....ALL ladies get a free gift at the door (until they run out of presents)!

So...remember your Momma today in your own special way, and check out the WWOZ Livewire for more fun things to do!!
