Jack Gurnon is back on Charles Street this Christmas Eve, firing up the grill and handing out free hot dogs—a Beacon Hill tradition that’s warmed the neighborhood for 25 years. What started as a way to cheer up his staff on a slow, snowy day turned into a community event when a customer in a mink coat asked for a bite. After a COVID pause, Jack’s wife insisted he bring it back this year. It’s these small, neighborly gestures that make Boston feel like home. Who else has a favorite local holiday tradition? #Food #Boston #BeaconHill
