Top 5 Places to Eat a Thanksgiving Meal in NYC
Between the cooking, cleaning, and hosting duties, having Thanksgiving at home can be a major undertaking. From hours spent checking on the turkey to hours spent gathering plates and cups from every table, bookcase, and ottoman in your home, hosting a holiday meal is an impressive feat, and one that’s hardly for the faint of heart. Fortunately, just because you want to enjoy a nice meal with your friends and family doesn’t mean you have to spend the day slaving over a hot stove or scrubbing up at the sink. Take a trip to one of these New York eateries hosting Thanksgiving dinner and take the stress out of Turkey Day:
Má Pêche | 15 West 56th Street
Head over to Momofuku-branded Má Pêche this Thanksgiving for one of the city’s most delicious holiday meals. In lieu of a traditional turkey, guests can enjoy a Turducken, mashed potatoes with bacon, scallions, and sharp cheddar, focaccia stuffing, pumpkin pie, and mulled apple cider.
Carmine’s | 200 West 44th Street
This popular Italian restaurant is serving up some of the best Thanksgiving meals in the city. Each year at Thanksgiving, Carmine’s offers a special Thanksgiving menu with roast turkey, Brussels sprouts with caramelized onions and bacon, sausage and sage stuffing, homemade cranberry sauce, marshmallow-topped sweet potatoes, and a choice of apple, pumpkin, or pecan pie for dessert.
Katz’s Delicatessen | 205 East Houston Street
If you’re looking for a non-traditional Thanksgiving meal that the whole family will love, look no further than Katz’s Delicatessen. This iconic New York eatery keeps its doors open for hungry patrons on Thanksgiving, serving up ample portions of pastrami, corned beef, and tongue on sandwiches you’ll virtually have to unhinge your jaw to take a bite of.
