any ideas??

Melissa: I suspect your choices will be slim. There's not going to be a lot to pick from in OBX in Dec. Might want to ask the question at chowhound.com on the southern board.

Lots of places that normally close for the season by now will be open to support the First Flight activities.

Don't know that all of the following will be open (tho I suspect they will) but they are some of our favorites:

Blue Point Grille (kids ok here) soundside in Duck

Flying Fish (kids good here for lunch and early evening) Casual setting but sophisticated food. MP 10 Business Rd

Carolina Blue (upscale no kids) Southern Shores Business Rd.

Ocean Blvd (upscale no kids) just reopened last week after Isabel. MP 2 Beach Rd. Kitty Hawk

Cap't Franks (best hot dogs and fries on the beach) MP 4 Business Rd

Awful Arthur's Oyster Bar (kids good here) casual seafood MP 6 Beach Rd Kill Devil Hills

Big Al's Soda Fountain & Grill (kids good here) Diner food, juke box, pin ball machine. Manteo (across from Christmas Shop)

Basnights Lone Cedar (family place) seafood and lots of it. On the causeway to Manteo

We just returned from the first flight celebration. we had a great time. we enjoyed our meals.
we ate at the Outer bankx steakhouse, whale bone, henry's, weeping radish.

Thanks

Melissa
