Last week we brought you a bevy of places to eat Chinese food on Christmas, and now here’s one more: Kutsher’s Tribeca. The Jewish-American spot will offer a $39 three-course Chinese prix fixe on Christmas Eve, Christmas, and — here’s the most exciting part — every Sunday thereafter. Think such fare as matzo-ball wonton soup, a steamed pastrami bun, or char-siu glazed salmon (scope the full set menu below). This rather reminds us of another non-Chinese restaurant doing Chinese Sundays, namely, Parm. We popped in the other week to see what a $25 “Chinese” plate would entail, and the answer was fried wonton strips with spicy mustard, Chinese-style pork ribs over fried rice, and a delicious side of broccoli drenched in garlic sauce. M. Wells used to do Chinese fare like Peking duck before it closed, so that makes three places, and, by lifestyle journalist standards, a trend. Other restaurants, your move.
