"Chef Julio Machado is open Christmas Eve and Christmas Day from 11:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., serving polished Venezuelan fare with a few specials. Expect traditional holiday hallacas — savory corn dough stuffed with bits of beef and pork, aromatics, raisins, and olives, wrapped in plantains and boiled tamale-style — among other Venezuelan dishes." - Clair Lorell
