Flowers are lovely—in fact, get mom flowers too, because she deserves them as well – but she also deserves a drink. (Some even say she deserves a hangover, but I won’t go there.)
“Mom doesn’t need a cocktail. She deserves a cocktail!” says Natasha David, bartender at Nitecap on the Lower East Side of Manhattan and mom to six-month-old Elliott. “I bring Elliot to work with me all the time, so there’s a lot of juggling different responsibilities at the same time. After I put E to bed, finish up my last bit of work, cook dinner and clean up the tornado that E and I created during play-time, there’s something very special about lying back and sipping on a drink.”
