Procrastinators Rejoice: Plenty of Reservations Left for Mother's Day

Sill the opportunity to reserve a spot for the most important person in your life.

For those who relish putting things off, there is still plenty of opportunities left. A whole host of St. Louis restaurants are holding places for Mother's Day reservations this Sunday. So make it a lavish brunch or a lunch or dinner. The choice is yours. But do something now on Open Table.com. The best excuse in the world would fall well short of remembering mom on the most important day of the year.
