beachgirl54 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Normally, I'd be eating Chinese food and seeing a movie. But thinking outside the box and wondering where my son and I could go for brunch or lunch on both the 24th and the 25th. Open to any kind of cuisine. We're in Arlington so I'd prefer places that are reasonably close. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genevieve Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Me Jana in Courthouse is open for lunch on Christmas (we're going for dinner, which has become a tradition for us). And it's near the movie theater in case you want to do that. It is booking up, though. Ambar is open early for brunch (I haven't been yet, and for me their dinner menu looked more appealing than their brunch menu, but it's an option and the food is supposed to be good). A lot more Arlington restaurants are open for breakfast, brunch, or lunch on Christmas Eve. Lyon Hall, Liberty Tavern, Yayla, Lebanese Taverna, Mazagan, Osteria da Nino, and Kapnos are good options (caveat that I've enjoyed dinner at all of these but not tried their brunch options except for Lyon Hall - good housemade doughnuts there). Yona and Pepita Cantina are open then too, but I haven't been there so I only know what I've read about them (I know people liked Yona with the previous chef, but don't know now that he's left). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genevieve Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 If you want to go into DC on Christmas Eve but avoid downtown, you could go to BlackSalt in Palisades or Osteria Morini in Navy Yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonRocks Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Ravi Kabob does a brisk business on Christmas. It wouldn't surprise me at all if Kabob Palace was open as well, but I'd check first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genevieve Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Kabob Bazaar in Clarendon might be open on Christmas, worth checking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
