Christmas New York Restaurant Guide 2013: Where to Go for Christmas

The 2013 Christmas New York Restaurant Guide is out!

They say Christmas in New York is fantastic. Luckily, I'm here to find that out myself.
On Christmas Eve, we're making our own elaborate dinner. But if you're in New York, you'll probably want to know where to find the best and most beautiful restaurants. We haven't visited all of them ourselves (YET). I'm sure these are really lovely spots. They're romantic, and the food is amazing. You can also (still) make reservations (which isn't always possible here). Go for a lavish brunch or a late dinner.

We'd love to hear what it turned out to be!
