These restaurants are open on Christmas Eve in Dutchess, Orange, Ulster counties
The holidays are truly upon us. And that means food and family. Which, let's be honest, can also mean strife and stress. Want to go somewhere you don't have to cook (and clean?) The mid Hudson Valley is full of restaurants ready for feasts, including some offering the traditional feast of the seven fishes.
Most of these restaurants are taking reservations for their Christmas Eve dinners so be sure to call in advance to reserve your table.
