Christmas Eve at Purple Yam
Friday, December 9th, 2011
They love their heritage pork at Purple Yam–so much so that after trying it for Thanksgiving, they’re bringing it back for a special a la carte Noche Buena (aka Christmas Eve) meal.
Call 718-940-8188 or email acbesa@prodigy.net for reservations.
They’re working on Christmas menu, too, because yep, they’ll be open (from 11am to 9pm). Stay tuned for more on that as we get closer to the holiday.
