Not having anywhere good to eat out on a Monday can be frustrating, and there’s going to be even more days when restaurants are closed for upcoming holidays. Here’s a list of some local eateries that will be open on Christmas. 

My dad’s family is Jewish, and eating Chinese food on Christmas is a ritual for New York Jews. It started in the early 20th century, when they were the two immigrant groups in NYC that didn’t give a damn about Christmas. So for the sake of tradition, a lot of the restaurants on this list are Chinese.
