With just two weeks left to finish up the holiday shopping, you’re going to need a lot of energy. Exodus Bagels, Row 34, and Moody’s Backroom are here to help, with the necessary carbs and protein to sustain you through the inevitable chaos of Sunday afternoon shopping.
Row 34’s Exodus Bagels Brunch Pop-Up
This Sunday, December 13, Jamaica Plain’s Exodus Bagels is paying a visit to Row 34. The Fort Point seafood spot’s executive chef Francisco Millan has created an inspired menu of deli-style sandwiches on Adam Hirsch’s New York-style rounds. Feeding a crowd? Board the “bagel raft,” a boat-sized serving of all the best flavors. Sea salt, sesame, plain, and everything bagels will also be available to take home, but if you stay and eat at the restaurant, you can double the carb intake with a pint or a few of Trillium beers. The neighboring brewery is sending over a couple select kegs.
