If you skipped going out to dinner on the always crowded New Year’s Eve, head out for a nice meal at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse or Bonefish Grill. Those looking for something more fast-casual can check out Panera and Boston Market. Of course, fast food staples like McDonald’s, Taco Bell and others will be open too.

Partygoers looking for their morning after caffeine fix will be happy to know that most major breakfast chains are open.
