It's a well-known joke that in New York City, Jews eat out at Chinese restaurants on Christmas because they are some of the few establishments open on the holiday. But in case you're not craving dumplings this week, here is a restaurant guide for places to eat on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day 2014 in New York City, via AMNY.com.
