The first glimpse of Christmas in Allston came out a few days ago. Two-foot-wide, shimmering white snowflakes of modish design appeared in the window of Punjab Palace, an Indian restaurant.
The place opened a year ago this week. As if totally unaware of Thanksgiving and the associated emptying of this college neighborhood, baffled waiters in their white-starched best stood at attention amid empty polished tables set with new glistening glassware.
But the students came back hungry for anything but leftovers, and gradually the tables began to fill. Now enjoying steady business, management has seized the holiday season.
The only other Allston storefront with decorations so far is a high-fashion Brazilian clothing store. Tinsel garland snakes through its window display of sexy summer dresses, perfect for Christmas in the Southern Hemisphere.
