Mother’s

The team behind rocker joint Daddy’s has introduced its better half: cozy Mother’s. The best perch is the well-lit oak bar, where it’s quiet enough to read a newspaper while exploring the 16 affordable drafts. There’s a fine mix of local microbrews, like the Coney Island Albino Python, a spicy wheat lager, alongside imports such as Belgium’s refreshing Gaffel Kölsch. Budget-price pub grub includes habit-forming sweet-potato fries—freshly cut with a pleasing crunch. Your mother couldn’t make ’em better.
