If your mom is anything like ours, she's not one to indulge herself. But now that we're all grown up and can pay her back for all those crust-free PB&Js, we've made a conscious effort to show her what she's been missing. Our venue of choice? Newbury Street's stately Emerge (275 Newbury Street, Boston, 617.437.0006): it's well-appointed, sophisticated, and effortlessly luxurious. Even we can't help but feel a smidge more grown-up when we step inside. On a normal day, we go for one of the spa's exceptional facials; when we're feeling decadent, the Kur Rituals packages do just the trick. Next step: convince Dad that the Sports Pedicure might just change his life.
