We once asked a longtime Boston cabbie where we could get something we needed on Christmas, and he said Chinatown was the place to go.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other Resources:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As we included above, the reservation site <a href=\"http:\/\/www.opentable.com\" id=\"nluq\" title=\"Open Table\">Open Table<\/a> has a feature list of its member restaurants with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.opentable.com\/promo.aspx?m=7&amp;ref=8785&amp;pid=5\">Christmas Eve Specials<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.opentable.com\/promo.aspx?m=7&amp;ref=8782&amp;pid=6\">Christmas Day Dining.<\/a>&#0160;<\/p>\n<p>But you can also input information on the reservation you want on Open Table and come up with a list of restaurants open at that hour.
