Thanksgiving might be the best food holiday in America: It’s a time for celebrating with family and friends while surrounded by turkey (or chicken or duck or a vegan substitute if you’re so inclined), so many carby and vegetable sides, and glorious pies.
This is especially so in New York City, which occupies the ancestral lands of the Lenape.
For those who’d rather dine out, Thanksgiving brunch or dinner, restaurants around NYC are going all out by hosting holiday meals. Find a spot for every need, from Golden Hof’s garlic-soy-glazed turkey and honey butter pancakes to dinner and a view at Manhatta to various South Asian-leaning turkey takes. Restaurants are serving on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 26, unless otherwise noted.
