There are places you go for brunch, and then there are places you go to spend the entire day. Shops at Merrick Park is the latter and easily one of the best places to celebrate Mother’s Day in Miami.

Start slow at the Farmer’s Market, ease into a little shopping, and let the afternoon unfold without a plan.

What to expect:
• Farmer’s Market from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. with fresh finds and sweet treats
• Open-air shopping at Tiffany & Co., David Yurman, Alo, Vuori, L’Occitane and more
• Long, relaxed lunches at Mariposa or Bazille
• Perry’s Steakhouse brunch and dinner experience with cocktails, signature dishes, and a three-course supper

It’s the kind of day that doesn’t feel scheduled, just exactly how Mother’s Day should be.
