Some friends are so special that they deserve their own holiday. Anthem Kitchen + Bar is hosting a Friendsgiving Brunch celebration in historic Faneuil Hall on Sunday, November 17 from 9am to 3pm.

They’ll be offering a Friendsgiving Brunch menu, featuring pumpkin pie French toast, apple bacon cornbread, and autumn spiced pancakes, in addition to their full brunch menu. For all the fall feels, keep warm with hot mulled cider, an iced pumpkin spiked latte, or hot buttered rum. Anthem is also open on Thanksgiving, serving Thanksgiving specials, including a traditional turkey dinner and a turkey gobbler sandwich. Reserve your table for Friendsgiving brunch or Thanksgiving dinner for full-bellied laughs and full bellies!

Located in the elegant and iconic Lenox Hotel, their staff will welcome you with friendly, personalized service as you celebrate family. They’re offering their Thanksgiving menu from 12 – 9pm on November 28 in addition to their regular menu. Enjoy delicious autumn specials like the roasted sugar pumpkin & onion soup, or an authentic turkey dinner—served with the works, of course.
