If you can’t make it to the Louisiana bayou in time for Mardi Gras go for the next best thing with Fat Tuesday-themed brunch specials Saturday, February 18th and Sunday, February 19th at Harvest. Chef Nick Deutmeyer and his band of merry Harvest’ers will have the French Quarter vibes going on all weekend with treats like brown paper bags of sugar-dusted beignets and individual king cakes. Anyone who finds a plastic baby in their cake will get a free Harvest hat and blanket to keep warm through the waning days of New England winter. Grab a reservation here or give them a call at 617.868.2255; brunch runs from 11:00am to 3:00pm both days, which is plenty of time to laissez les bons temps rouler (let the good times roll)!
