Otto Strada (743 Park Ave, Hoboken) is open for brunch and dinner on Mother’s Day. They’re offering a special pre-fixe menu of $32/person and it’s the perfect opportunity to pamper mom with amazing food. Also, they serve kale chips at the beginning of your meal, which is pretty awesome. There are so many Hoboken options, it’s hard to choose — but this one is HG approved.
