Join Stephanie to celebrate the opening of her new gallery on Newbury Street!
It’s finally fall in New England and in honor of one of autumn’s time-honored traditions – apple-picking with family and friends – Artisan Bistro at The Ritz-Carlton, Boston is pleased to once again host a pop-up apple orchard within the restaurant so guests can enjoy the ‘fruits’ and flavors of the season, right here in the heart of the city.
On October 7 from 10am – 12 Noon, Artisan Bistro brings an orchard to life where guests can purchase homemade cider donuts, caramel apples, apple chutney and more. Apple seeds will be given as a takeaway with any purchase and guests can also venture to Artisan Bistro’s bar where the “Boston Green Apple,” an apple infused sangria, is available for purchase as well.
As part of The Ritz-Carlton’s Community Footprints social and environmental responsibility to better serve and partner with local community organizations, Artisan Bistro is pleased to be supporting the family-operated Russell Orchards farm in Ipswich, Massachusetts. The hotel will showcase and sell a variety of their fresh picked apples and seasonal apple products at the urban apple orchard pop-up including apple strudel, honey, apple cider and vinegars.

Meet and mingle with other Francophiles while celebrating La Chandeleur!
Also called Crêpe Day, la Chandeleur is a French holiday during which people traditionally eat crêpes and drink cidre. Though la Chandeleur is often associated with the Catholic holiday of Candlemas, it actually stems from pagan traditions. And, of course, there is the traditional coin ritual: if you can flip a crêpe while holding a coin in your other hand, you and your family will not have to worry about financial problems. There is even a fun legend that ties Napoleon’s misfortune with his time in Russia with the flipping of the crêpes!
The French Cultural Center will observe this popular holiday with crêpes and a variety of delicious toppings. All ages are invited and welcome to attend!
Please note: When you register for a family, you are registering per family. You will be required to answer a question on the number of family members that will attend.
Early RSVP recommended.
