NYC Restaurants Open For Christmas 2019: Here's Where To Feast
Why cook when you can dine?
NEW YORK, NY — It's a well established fact that your mother is 89 percent less likely to pick a fight with you on Christmas if she's out in public.
Data also show you'll be 47 percent less likely to regress to your angsty adolescent self if you haven't spent the day trying to shove an 18-pound goose into your 1970s oven the landlord swears someday he'll replace.
So why not get a dinner reservation on Christmas Day and be one who feasts instead of one who's insecurities are feasted upon by relatives? Statistics show it's a really good idea.
