About The Parish Cafe

The Parish Cafe opened on Boylston Street in Back Bay in November 1992. Owner Gordon Wilcox asked chefs from around Boston to create sandwiches for the menu, and each one carries the name of its chef and their restaurant. Sandwiches on the current menu cost about $23 to $29. The cafe is open until midnight from Sunday to Wednesday and until 2am from Thursday to Saturday.
