No. 9 Holiday Lunch

Wayne Chinnock

The No. 9 Park holiday lunch is back and better than ever—from Monday, November 30th through Wednesday, December 23rd, the beloved Beacon Hill spot opens up early on weekdays and welcomes diners for a festive daytime feast. Items like onion soup with braised oxtail and roasted bone marrow are offered alongside tried and true hits of yore like the baked stuffed lobster for two with mushrooms and hollandaise. Get there after the first snowfall and the bar will be happy to mix you up a Tom & Jerry, their signature riff on a classic eggnog. (But don’t bother asking for one unless the first flurries have fallen—tradition dictates it’s impossible.) The holiday dishes are available as a three-course prix fixe for $52 per person or a five-course tasting menu for $75 per person. Lunch goes from 11:30am-2:30pm every weekday and reservations can be made by calling 617.742.9991.
