The holidays in New York City is a festive time of year. There is so much to do and see, even if you’ve been living there all your life. Instead of planning a holiday dinner or brunch, NYC has a number of fine restaurants where you and the family can have a great dinner without the cooking or clean-up. Dining out has its advantages, and you’ll be able to relax, unwind and enjoy the day.
In Midtown East, Murray Hill and the Upper East Side, the fine dining options are endless. Depending on your palate, you can enjoy European, American, Italian and more. Here are a few restaurants that may meet your needs:
