Adding to the list of open Christmas day dining and drinking escapes

Adding to the list of open Christmas day dining and drinking escapes from home are a trio of entries from West Seattle: the Feedback Lounge, the Thaitan and the Ho-Win. Check out the list for a considerably higher number of open Christmas eve spots too. And if you blow through Christmas without going out, there’s always the Skylark’s End of Decade Party on Saturday the day after the holiday. Theme: Dress as a favorite character of the past ten years. (And yes in case you were wondering, someone else already thought of arriving in a red Nike shirt with golf clubs and a passel of sleazy blondes.) The exact details remain a minor mystery in Fremont but it appears a new Mediterranean restaurant is planned for the neighborhood. The place, on 36th St. near Dayton, will be called Santolea. If a subsequent reader post in the Fremont Universe is accurate, it will open in middle February.
