Parc

Take in the twinkly garland and quieter-than-usual park with dining at Parc on Christmas Day. The French destination will have all the cozy comforts you need, from ultra cheesy onion soup to a heaping helping of steak frites. And, of course, make sure to get a Buche de Noel for dessert, finished with a crunchy hazelnut praline.

Soak in the ambiance of Parc on Thanksgiving Day with a special menu of roasted turkey and confit leg, butternut squash soup, sides, and pies. You’ll also have access to a lot of the usual menu’s standard fare, so it seems like a perfect time to add escargot, macaroni au gratin, and maybe even some moules frites to your holiday.

Check out the hashtag #barcforparc in Instagram to see exactly how dog-friendly Parc’s outdoor tables are. The sidewalk seats at this spot from Starr Restaurants are perfect for enjoying a cocktail and some people watching with your dog before or after a stroll in Rittenhouse Square, where you pup can romp with all the other neighborhood dogs out for a potty break.
