Readers' Choice: Best Place to Take Mom

We're looking toward Mothers' Day.

  Readers' Choice is back. This week we're looking for the best place in Abington to take mom on Mothers' Day. It could your favorite place for breakfast, lunch, brunch ... any place you think mom would enjoy.  And we're doing it a little differently this week. Instead of having a "clicking-style" poll, we're asking for comments. So the business that has the most positive comments by next Friday morning will be deemed the winner. So ... get commenting, and thanks for playing!

Seven Stars Bistro (formerly Asian Fusion) has the best Sushi in all of Abington (and they make some amazing Chinese & Thai food as well). If mom likes Asian cuisine you can't go wrong here. And the wait isn't going to be anything close to what you'll get at The Cheesecake Factory or The Outback, which seem to be overwhelmed on Mother's Day.   more ›
