Sushi Yasaka is my neighborhood sushi joint and, luckily, one of the restaurants open on Christmas in New York City. It’s a quiet, unassuming place that serves great food and is perfect for an easygoing Christmas dinner in NYC.
But just because it’s a local spot, don’t assume it’s not busy; it’s far from it. On a normal day, every table is filled, and I can only assume that’ll be the case on Christmas. Reservations are strongly encouraged.
Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.
