POSTED BY
Evelyn Kanter

There’s no place like home for the holidays, but if your idea of Christmas is to let somebody else do the cooking, servingand dishwashing, here is a holiday dining guide for dining out on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in NYC’s Flatiron District.

While NYC on the Cheap is proud of publishing NYC events and attractions always $25 or less, there are times you have to splurge, and the holidays is one of those times.

Please contact restaurants individually for reservations and more information.

And be sure to tip generously, since restaurant staff is giving up their holiday to serve you.
