[1] Though choices are few, look at this weekend's limited choices as a chance to try something new!
The holiday is a great time to expand your horizons into some ethnic restaurants you perhaps haven't tried before. Many ethnicities do not celebrate Christmas and therefore have no reason to be closed! (Note: This is certainly not the case for my favorite, Mexican restaurants. I attempted to visit both Santa Fe and Lolita's yesterday for lunch, only to find out that they were already closed in order to start celebrating Navidad.) Here's a few places, however, that are open this weekend and certainly won't disappoint.
For Indian, head to either Kashmir or Dakshin. For great Asian, Annie Cafe [3] or Vietnam Kitchen [4]. Most Chinese restaurants will be open as well and happy to serve you.
A few of my favorite restaurants will be open on Christmas Eve for brunch offering a great start to your holiday weekend. These include Harvest and Hillbilly Tea [5]. If you plan on visiting either of these restaurants that day, a reservation will probably be a good idea.
Last but not least, Varanese [6] and Volare [7] will both be open in the evening on Christmas Eve serving lots of yummy drinks, dishes and holiday cheer.
Most of all - be safe and enjoy this time with those close to you.
Cheers!
