Thank you! This is extremely useful info!
BTW, a couple to add to your list:
– Satay will be open until 2 PM on Christmas Eve.
– In nearby Fremont, Brad’s Swingside Cafe will be open 5 – 9 (but they are taking reservations, just for this evening.)
PS — to clarify: Swingside will be open on Christmas Eve at the hours posted above. (As you can see, I’m not a journalist, nor do I play one on TV.)
Thanks. Duly noted!
Thanks for this info!!
Any word on the taco truck?
