This year I'm having a New York Jewish Christmas, which means ordering Chinese takeout on Christmas Eve. Both Jewish and Chinese people have traditionally not celebrated Christmas, which has made them unusual partners on this occasion when most other places are closed.

@Hank G ☑️ The beauty of it is that there's nothing particular about it, it's about as pragmatic a tradition as you can get.

@Hypolite Petovan I hope you have a good time nonetheless. Maybe go to the Chinese place and eat there? Will people be out eating in Chinese restaurant that so take out on Christmas?

We were in Florida once over Christmas, I think in Miami or so, not really easy on such days in the US, very few places open to eat, at least 10 years ago.

@utzer ~Friendica~ Most New York Chinese restaurants are nothing more than takeout counters with no table service whatsoever.

@Hypolite Petovan yes, it is like that all over the world, in some places they still have some tables and chairs, but usually nobody sits there.

@utzer ~Friendica~ This is less true in suburban areas where real estate is cheaper and table service restaurants are more common.

Interesting. Do you mean during christmas or in general?
As at least here in Italy people mostly eat in Chinese restaurants, even though there is also a lot of takeout going on (especially since the pandemic, which made a lot more people take the habit when previously they didn't gave).

@Lapo Luchini @utzer ~Friendica~ It is my same experience in France pre-pandemic, I've frequented several table service Chinese restaurants. There must have been some takeout-only places in Paris but it was not my main impression of Chinese restaurants.
