Alternatively, this map could have been titled Louisville's hotel, Asian and dive restaurants, but, well, SEO (it's surprising Asian restaurants are open though as the three kings are "of Orient"). And yes, this list of restaurants open on Christmas bares a remarkable resemblance to the restaurants that were open on Thanksgiving, because, well, Louisville. Don't get stuck eating in a manger, make your reservations now.
