Downtown Crossing bar and restaurant JM Curley, which is coming up on its fourth birthday, is launching a sandwich-focused, boozy Monday brunch today (dubbed "Cold Tea Mondays" — and yes, there will be pots of "cold tea"). It'll take place weekly from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. Here's the debut menu:
SNACK. SHARE.

The rest of the week, except for Sundays, JM Curley serves a small lunch menu from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Dinner starts at 5 p.m. daily (including Sundays).
Meanwhile, Monday nights are also getting a new boost at the downtown hangout. Starting next week, Bogie's Place, the steakhouse nestled inside JM Curley, is hosting Prime Rib Mondays every week with a single 7 p.m. seating. While the menu is subject to change, the current offering includes a wedge salad, loaded baked potato, creamed spinach, and a 12-ounce prime rib for $40 (plus tax and tip). The meal is served family-style, and while walk-ins are accepted if there's space, Bogie's Place is tiny. Next week's dinner is already sold out. Tickets can be purchased for future Prime Rib Mondays on Eventbrite.
