PrintWhere To Eat Out On Thanksgiving In New York: The Restaurants
[Photo: Robyn Lee]
Maybe your apartment kitchenette can't take a turkey. Maybe you're not ready to cook for the in-laws—or you just can't stomach the dishwashing duty. Whatever the reason, there are plenty of Thanksgivings where it's better to eat out than eat in. But in this city, reservations go fast, so get your dialing fingers ready. We're exactly one month out from the holiday, and many restaurants start booking up this week.
Here's our guide to Thanksgiving dinners in New York: hours, courses, prices, and full menus. All the info, after the jump.

I know it's Turkey Day, but any recommendations for a restaurant that also have vegetarian options? Thanks. Can't believe it's almost Thanksgiving already!
gargupie at 10:30AM on 10/26/09
@gargupie: Of these, James and Cookshop have the tastiest-looking options (squash risotto, mushroom pie). We'll check in with some of the veggie restaurants, too.
Carey Jones at 11:02AM on 10/26/09
That's it? No restaurants that are more down home and less inexpensive?
QueenAlli at 11:19AM on 10/26/09
these do all seem a little expensive.
jerkfaceirl at 4:38PM on 10/26/09
any family style options?
Deb at 7:42PM on 10/26/09
Hey SE, we need some recession, non-foodie friendly options here. Please.
QueenAlli at 9:43PM on 10/26/09
There's Sylvia's and Veselka, for cheaper options. Soul food/southern food places in general offer more family-style meals for less for Thanksgiving.
But @QueenAlli, the recession option is cooking at home--it's rare that NY higher end restaurants offer a la carte on Thanksgiving. (I should know, I have eaten out every Thanksgiving in New York since 1996.) I am sympathetic to the recession issue (totally in need of money myself) but I think that for "non-foodie friendly" options you should go to a non-foodie site. Like Yahoo.
NYminknit at 3:19PM on 10/30/09
@NY: Non - foodie friendly? This site is not exclusively for foodie type places or meals. And cooking at home is not an option for me, it is too small and I wanted my few family members and I to meet in a location that isn't a 2-3 hour travel. I will not go into more detail - but cooking at home for either of us is not an option.
QueenAlli at 2:59PM on 10/31/09
@NYminknit if you associate great food with a high price tag you're probably not a "foodie" in the first place.
BTW, I despise the word "foodie."
And I agree, let's here some of the other options out there!
