This Urban Dish deserves to be prefaced with the acknowledgment that you haven’t seen Urban Dish in a while. In October, over lunch at Hash House a Go Go, Urban Dish columnist Morgan deBoer hit us with the bittersweet news that she will be moving to Japan in the new year. Since then, we’ve continued to write about food outside of the column. But I am now bringing our highly missed Urban Dish back and using this podium to say that we wish Morgan all the very best in what is sure to be an amazing set of new experiences in a country most of us are dying to visit.
Now, on to stuffing our faces with holiday fare! For many people, it doesn’t feel like a holiday unless we’re dirtying up our kitchens and clothes to cook with friends or family. But for others, the excitement of dining out not only trumps tradition, it is tradition.

For those of you foregoing Christmas and mid-Hanukkah meals at home, we checked around town to see which restaurants will be open. (These are only the ones we confirmed. There are bound to be more!) Most restaurants in the Urbanist guide are closed on the 25th, so if a place is open make your reservations ASAP, or else you may be settling later on.
