Does anyone know which, if any shows, will be playing this coming Thursday? I know it's Christmas Day and am not sure...

Thanks!

Here's the holiday week schedule. The theater district is virtually deserted during the day on Christmas - difficult to even find an open restaurant.

There are more shows playing than I thought would be. Funny that White Christmas is not one of them.

Re: restaurants...do they open up as the day goes on? Will I have problems finding something open for dinner? I was going on the assumption since so many shows did indeed play an evening show that it wouldn't be too difficult!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Ruby Foos is open! I spent my Christmas vacation in NYC a few years ago, and if you walk around there are plenty of places open. If you have your heart set on a certain place, call and ask. But if you are up for just walking around (like I was) you will not have any problems.

Of course Chinese places are open. That's where that whole "Jews on Christmas" thing came from. We see a movie and then have Chinese food.
