Mother’s Day is bringing a creative new wave of pickup or delivery options. Chain restaurants including Bonefish Grill, Outback Steakhouse, and Carrabba’s are offering bargain family bundles like Bonefish’s $49.90 mahi and shrimp dinner that feeds up to five and includes salad, sides, bread, and dessert. Independently owned local places are offering reasonably priced pancakes, pasta, and barbecue, and could use your support. Or consider splurging on dinner from a special occasion restaurant like the Mansion at Glen Cove or Nick and Toni’s.
