Boutique Chocolate Pop-Up from NoMI at the Park Hyatt
Treat Mom to something extra indulgent at NoMI | Boutique Chocolate, a short-run Pop-Up at the Park Hyatt Chicago Library. Award-winning pastry chef Megan Galus and her team are creating an array of chocolate indulgences made from rare and unique chocolate varieties that they’ve sourced specifically for the Pop-Up. Offerings include (but aren’t limited to) bonbons, caramels, macaroons, eclairs, special chocolate gifts and more. The NoMI | Boutique Chocolate Pop-Up will be open April 26 – May 11th from 1pm to 8pm.
Specialty Tins from Garrett’s Popcorn
Make your Mom proud with a gift from Chicago’s very own Garrett’s Popcorn. This year’s limited-time offerings include the Chocolate Lover’s Gift Set (a gold rectangle tin complete three chocolatey treats — silky smooth milk chocolate covered CaramelCrisp, dark chocolate covered CaramelCrisp and pecan CaramelCrisp) and the Mother’s Day Bundle of Joy (a one gallon blossom tin of Chicago Mix paired with a one quart pink signature tin of milk or dark chocolate covered CaramelCrisp). Visit Garrett’s to order your gift online.

Spend some QT (aka: quality time) with Mom and enjoy a Chicago Food Planet tour together. There’s still availability for our Chinatown and Gold Coast/Old Town tours on May 11th, where you and your Mom can enjoy plenty of food, culture and fun. What Mom wouldn’t love that?
