Get into the Christmas spirit every day at Panna II — decked with strings of colored bulbs, light-up chili peppers, and a disco ball. Take sweet wine to complement traditional Indian dishes (veggie samosas, chicken tikka masala), and enjoy mango ice cream on the house (whether you’re celebrating or not).

Panna II, 93 First Avenue, between East 5th and 6th Streets (212-598-4610 or panna2.com).

Minimalist decor lets you focus on Apiary’s seasonal American fare (asparagus salad, organic chicken with spring peas, blackberry financiers). Take advantage of the BYOB policy with no corkage fee on Mondays.

Apiary, 60 Third Avenue, between East 10th and 11th Streets (212-254-0888 or apiarynyc.com).

Choose toppings from a chalkboard menu and watch your pizza being made from the dining room. Low candlelight and a warm atmosphere make Lucali a date-night destination — or take a friend and BYOB on a weekday to avoid the line.

575 Henry Street, between Carroll and Summit Streets, Carroll Gardens (718-858-4086).

Get more bang for your yen at the dirt cheap sushi nook. Order a deluxe entree (eight assorted pieces, one roll, and choice of miso soup or salad), and you’ll still have enough left over for a bottle of top-shelf sake.

Cherin Sushi, 306 East 6th Street, between First and Second Avenues (212-388-1348).

When it’s time to tighten the iron grip on your wallet, sip liquor-store vino over small plates of Asian fusion fare (think sauteed Chinese sausage with chili lime sauce and steamed mussels in lime-lemongrass coconut curry).

Kuma Inn, 113 Ludlow Street, between Delancey and Rivington Streets (212-353-8866 or kumainn.com).

Close quarters and nautical decor bring the French seaside to the West Village. Brunch staples (eggs Benedict, croque monsieur) get boozy with DIY mimosas. Go back at dinnertime for the bouchee a la reine (chicken pot pie) with quenelles, mushrooms, and greens.

Tartine, 253 West 11th Street, between West 4th Street and Waverly Place (212-229-2611).

The cozy spot serves cheap, reliable Middle Eastern (falafel platters, chicken shawarma, pita pizzas) and sits across the street from a wineshop. Can’t beat that.

Zaytoons, 283 Smith Street, between Degraw and Sackett Streets, Carroll Gardens (718-875-1880 or zaytoons.com).
