LONG VALLEY, NJ — Mother's Day on Sunday, May 8, is still a couple of weeks away. But if you plan to treat your mother to brunch or dinner out, reservations may fill up quickly in the Long Valley area as the nation approaches the most normal celebration of moms since the COVID-19 pandemic began.

Many area restaurants have taken a financial hit during the pandemic and could use the business. Upcoming holidays, such as Mother's and Father's Day, may help some get back on track.

Some Morris County restaurants are really getting into celebrating mom. 1776 by David Burke featuring TopGolf Swing Suite, which is also offering holiday specials, is holding a "Reel Moms of NJ" contest. Show the restaurant why your mom is the best, and you could win lunch or brunch for four and a bottle of Rosé for your table. Here's how to enter:

  • Film an Instagram reel for up to 30 seconds that tells the restaurant why your mom deserves to win.

  • 1776 by David Burke (@1776bydavidburke) must be tagged for your post to get reviewed.

  • Get creative and have fun! The winner will be announced on Mother’s Day and posted on 1776's social media.

  • Entries must be submitted by May 6.
