Christmas Eve/Day Openings

[SeanMike]

Anyone know of a good list of what restaurants and bars are open Christmas Eve and Christmas Day?

For instance, I know the Passenger is closed Christmas Eve, but Hogo and Mockingbird Hill (for instance) will be open, and on Christmas Day Ragtime opens at 8 PM.

This year I'm sans family for the most part over those two days (parents are visiting over the weekend, brother will be at in-laws Xmas day, and I'm working the 24th and the 26th) so I'm hoping to get out of the house and have some fun.

(To be honest, I'm quite looking forward to it.)

EDIT TO ADD: I do know of Washingtonian's brunch list, but most of those aren't up my alley. I did just see this on DCist:

Nam Viet in Clarendon open until 9pm this evening and closed tomorrow, per its website.

Corduroy is open on Christmas, as per usual, but getting a reservation through Open Table may be problematical.

Juniper (in the Fairmont Hotel at 24th & M Streets, NW) is also open.  I know this because I just learned that the chef, Ian Bens, lives in my building and he told me they would be open. I've not eaten there, yet, but hope to in the near future. The menu on the website looks interesting.

Thanks for everyone who contributed. I decided against crossing the river myself, mostly since I had to work today.

I did hit Galaxy Hut and had quite a lovely time there, then wandered over to Ragtime for a Cobb salad and some more fun.
