9 Lifesaving Restaurants That are Open on Christmas and New Year's Eve
There's less than a week before Christmas and many of us already have an idea what dishes will be on the table come Noche Buena, followed a week later by Media Noche on New Year's Eve.
Not everyone, however, has the time or inclination to sweat over a hot stove on the two most hectic days of the year. All the luxury hotels have their special menus on those days so they will be certainly open. The same goes for the fastfood chains serving hamburgers, fried chicken and pizza.
