CitySurfing Orlando’s Picks For Celebrating Mother’s Day

It’s almost Mother’s Day, and 2021 is starting to look a lot better than last year for celebrating your mom/mother figure.

Many restaurants and attractions are back open, and offering special deals or dinners/brunches to enjoy. Plus, a lot of people are getting vaccinated, making it safer to spend time together.

I’ve perused all the listings and press emails, and here are CitySurfing Orlando’s picks for celebrating moms on Mother’s Day, May 9, 2021. All prices do not include tax or gratuity (please don’t forget to tip!). Under the restaurant list are some fun events happening to enjoy with mom, too.

NYPD Pizza Opens New Location in College Park in April

- Michelle Snow

The first NYPD Pizza location opened in downtown Orlando in 1996. Now, the company has locations in four states and has won numerous awards.

Next month, the chain is set to open its sixth location right here in Orlando.

It will be located at 2912 Edgewater Drive  in College Park (between W. Par St. and W. Princeton St.).  Reps for NYPD Pizza say that this location will be open by the second week in April, and it will offer dine in, take out, delivery and catering.

I’ve eaten at the downtown, Kissimmee and Metrowest locations in Orlando and the pizza has always been good, and at a good price, too.

In fact one of my fave deals is the daily 99 cent slice. The slice of the day varies, but it happens every day from 11am to 5pm.

To check out the menu (they serve other Italian items besides pizza) or get more details, check out the NYPD Pizza website.
