Restaurants Open On Christmas Day 2021 In Hoboken

HOBOKEN, NJ — In 2020, many Hudson County residents opted for small, low-key holiday celebrations as coronavirus cases soared nationwide and public health experts urged social distancing.

We weren’t used to Christmas without the trimmings; however, while the situation was not ideal, many of us realized large, stressful holiday gatherings aren’t all they’re cracked up to be. This year, many may again opt to keep Christmas simple and unhurried.

Doing so could mean letting someone else take care of the holiday festivities entirely. This includes the cooking.

If that’s the route you’re going this Christmas, we certainly won’t blame you. Luckily, several local and chain restaurants in the area plan to be open on Christmas Day.

In case you need a recommendation of where to eat out on Christmas, Patch compiled a roundup of local and national restaurants slated to be open that day. Be sure to make reservations early, as available times are likely to fill up fast.

An important note: Business hours can vary by location. Patch encourages you to call any restaurant on this list in advance to double-check hours on Christmas Day.

• Among Hoboken restaurants, several bar/restaurants will be open late on Christmas Eve, such as Northern Soul, open 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday. It will be closed Christmas Day.
• Sirenetta will be open Christmas Eve and offer a special "Feast of Seven Fishes" tasting menu (more information about that here).
• Zero Otto Uno Cafe in Hoboken was open and serving meals on Christmas.
