This year many more families are celebrating Thanksgiving with a smaller group than normal. And even if you’re having your usual crew attend this year, with everything else going on it seems like a good time to give yourself a break. There are many places offering a full family style dinner with all the trimmings – some even include dessert! Others offer feasts for a smaller group (as small as two or three) and there are Kosher options as well. Some are offering items a la carte so you could order the turkey, for example, and still make your favorite side dishes. We normally travel to visit family for Thanksgiving and won’t be doing so this year, so having some extra “help” in the kitchen sounds good to me!
We’ve rounded up our favorite places offering family feasts. Be sure to call in advance to find out the menu details and the cutoff for ordering.
