What Restaurant should we go to in new york city for Christmas?

The Rainbow room in Rockerfeller Center would be great you would have a great view plus the Christmas tree as well.

Go to the melimelo restaurant http://www.melimelorestaurant.com/ Oh so romantic and the food is fab!

Now I would have suggested Tavern on the Green. I have heard rave reviews about the place. But you are going to be hit or miss with it being Christmas Day you are going to be pretty lucky to find anyplace that will be open Christmas day for dinner. But then I do not know New York very well. However check with the larger hotels. Since they have to be open 24/7 they may be having some holiday buffets set up. I know that Ritz Carlton, Marriott in Times Square, etc will have something nice set up. But I would first check with the hotels and even your hotel for recommendations on what will be available. Good Luck and have a great time, that sounds so romantic......

White Castle I love it.I never seen on outside of the NY/Jersey area so anytime I go there that is the first place I eat.Sorry I know you probly think im a idiot but I had to say it.I dont know of any places like you want but I do know the city is full of classy restaurants.

You have to see what is open for Christmas and make your reservations early. Check with the concierge at the hotel you are staying at. The Tavern on the Green looks pretty, but don't eat there. There are so many lovely restaurants that are festive at that time of year - go to zagats.com and check out some restaurants. it all depends on what you like to eat. I think the most romantic restaurants are: I trulli (has a fireplace), Peacock Alley (expensive - in Waldorf Astoria hotel), Four Seasons, River Cafe, Tocqueville and Jo-Jo or John Georges at the Trump Tower.

You have a big problem. most restaurants are closed on Christmas. If you are going on Christmas Day the only places you are going to eat are Chinese restaurants. I do not suggest that you go on Christmas Day, it is not a day to be in the city, it closes down on the afternoon of christmas eve and doesn't open up until the morning after Christmas. Suggest you go around Christmas and Yes, would suggest ou go to Grammercy Tavern, but try making your reservations well in advance. All of Danny Meyers restaurants book up well in advance around the holiday season, hell, they book up all year long. Grammercy Tavern is perfect for a winter day. And yes, Tavern on the Green is beautiful, but built for tourists, food is awful.

Grammercy Tavern used to be lovely (its a while since I was there). Union Square Cafe is great. Balthazar is really great - very buzzy. The lights in Times Square are great but I wouldn't call it romantic at all. Book now! Have a great time.

Oh yes. What ever she likes will make her feel most comfortable....... If it's any way like a nice restuarent then just smile sweetly, say, 'sure honey' and go. Trust me, I'm vastly read in this area.

I believe the Rock Center Cafe on the ice skating level of Rockefeller Center would be open and have amazing atmosphere on Christmas Day. If the Plaza Hotel is open by Christmas that could be magic. Good Luck!
