Any restaurants in NOLA open around Christmas?

Gross. LOL.

I would just do Outback instead, or Flemmings, if you want something along a chain style joint, in New Orleans.

We are actually staying quite simple, with a Five Happiness Chinese dinner. Always consistent. Staying away from the chains and the réveillon type menus.
The place I always laugh at, though, is Red Lobster in Metairie. Dear God, WHO is going there?!?
