It seemed very easy to make them, so it raises a few eyebrows. A few other places we were interested in (including Allen & Delancey, Lupa) were either booked up or not open on Christmas. My question is: Is this a decent choice to spend some $ for an elegant Christmas dinner? I've never been to Perry St. before, and hope my guests aren't disappointed. I still have twenty-fours to change my reservation if anyone has other last-minute suggestions! Many thanks, in advance!

The food is great. Since so many upper-tier restaurants (and lower-tier too) are closed on Christmas, if budget is not a major consideration I think you are making a good choice.

Thank you so much! Wed Dec 24 07:52:19 -0800 2008 4270316 29156 nyc711
