MexiQ’s Kitchen & Draught:
For a Mexican take on Christmas dining, head to the city’s most foodie-ethnic borough, Queens, for a two-day Christmas extravaganza. Starting at 11am on December 24, MexiQ will dish up a New York-style Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon, or a Mexican-inspired Breakfast Quesadilla with scrambled eggs, pinto beans and shredded chicken, both served with a taste-awakening side of Jalapeño Goat Cheese Cornbread. Christmas Eve Happy Hour begins at 4pm and continues through 4am, featuring $5 margaritas and $3 beers. MexiQ’s Christmas Day brunch will help you recover from too much partying with their Hangover Cure, a crispy concoction of tortilla, salsa, pulled chicken and chorizo topped with two fried eggs. www.mexiqny.com.
