Ninety Nine Restaurants & Pubs, affectionately called “The 99” or “The Nines” in New England, is a chain of restaurants geared towards “real” working class families. For decades the restaurant has served as a hub for warm, genuine meals — and you always knew what you were going to get. “The Real Deal” was illustrated with bold type, earthy colors, and photos shot within the restaurants themselves cooked by the head chef to alleviate any idea of disingenuousness.
