Park 54th Restaurant

Park 54th, known in full as Park 54 Restaurant & Lounge, is a Hyde Park dining room and lounge whose name honors the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, the Civil War regiment of Black soldiers that trained in Readville. Its kitchen blends Southern cuisine with Caribbean and New England influences, turning out dishes like its signature shrimp, lobster and crab grits plus wings, seafood and steaks, paired with handcrafted cocktails, beer and wine.

Founder Tasha Hull, born in Trinidad and a longtime Hyde Park resident, came to hospitality after careers in education and real estate, and she set out to create a place where neighbors and visitors could mark both milestones and everyday moments. The restaurant hosts live music and community events, guests can have brunch on the patio, and the lounge side gives it a nightlife scene alongside dinner and private celebrations.
