A Guide to Dining Out in Brooklyn on Christmas and Christmas Eve
Allswell: We often wish we had been born Italian. Yes, we get to eat potato pancakes for eight days straight on Hanukkah, but on Christmas Eve, Italians get to eat seven or more courses of seafood in anticipation of the midnight birth of baby Jesus. You see our dilemma. Thankfully, no one will be checking your credentials if you decide to celebrate the Feast of the Seven Fishes at restaurants like Allswell, which will be serving a special a la carte menu featuring under-the-sea-delights like hake cake with duck eggs, morcilla-stuffed squid, whole roasted sea bream with fennel, and tagliarini with razor clams, cockles and lemon.
