You have to pay me to go into the "City". :-D
I've been to one Indian restaurant in SF and that was in the late 1990s
after I had been to India. A friend and I found one that actually made
food more like I had in India, particularly the rice.
How do you know the boat owner didn't have liability insurance to cover
the tourists?

I was going to have lunch at Tommy's Joynt yesterday. But it was
closed. So, I ended having lunch at an Indian restaurant at at
Arguello Avenue and Geary Boulevard. It was excellent. If you're in
the City, you should try that place.
After eating, I decided to go to Fisherman's Wharf. There were a lot
of people there, including those who were getting off a tour boat
around the Alcatraz Island. The boat was a small fishing boat that
was converted to carry tourists around the Bay. The captain was
charging $15 per person for the ride. I figured he and the crew were
making about a thousand dollars on a good day. But I noticed the
captain could be potentially liable for accidents on his boat. I was
hoping none of the tourists would fall off the ladder as they climbed
off the boat and onto the sidewalk.
Then, I watched a Jamaican guy play his steel drum accompanied by a
pre-recorded backup band on his sound system. He sounded pretty good
for a one-man band.
Since he was playing near Boudin bakery, I went inside the store and
bought a sour dough french bread.
Afterwards, I walked towards the Aquatic Park and went home.

The nearby Chinese restaurant didn't have an "open Christmas" sign.
I have a doubt that any of the Chinese restaurants were open for
Christmas dinner in this town however one of the two big Chinese
buffet places in the next city over (Concord) advertised they would be
both for Christmas Eve and Christmas dinner. I'm thinking the article
might have also been an idea to prompt the owners of the restaurants
that planned to be open to buy some advertising? The one restaurant
did have the front page ad as they often do anyway on the Penny Saver
circular that comes in the mail weekly.
Up until a few years ago I would join my relatives at an Italian
restaurant (run by a Portuguese family) for Christmas dinner. We
never did Christmas dinners but celebrated on Christmas Eve at least
before there were any great nieces and nephews around. Now that those
kids are all grown up it's back to just Christmas Eve.
Another article or news report covered how some places had employees
vying to work Christmas just for the extra money when years past it
was difficult to get them to do so.

/"It's true. Everyone eats Chinese food on Christmas./"
Maybe a bit of hyperbole on the "everyone" bit. I wonder if any
are open around here? Might make a good follow-up to yesterday's
lentil soup, smoky egg dip and wine tasting routine.
