MP Taverna: A three-course meal will run you only $40, and the meal is a Greek-inspired Thanksgiving. For added Grecian flare, you can add traditional Greek desserts to your meal for $25, which will include baklava.
Bustan: Bustan isn’t offering a prix fixe menu, so feel free to pick what you like off their menu. As a treat, you can finish your meal with a Honeycrisp apple cake served with pumpkin spice gelato –um, yes!
Bar Boulud: France meets America with this semi-traditional menu being offered by Bar Boulud. Some highlighted menu items include squash soup with spiced crème fraiche, brioche croutons and cilantro, wild mushroom agnolotti with hazelnuts and sunchokes, a duck breast Normandie with roasted apples and spiced cider jus, and top your meal off with a dark chocolate pecan tartlette with bourbon ice cream.
Sarabeth’s Upper West Side: For $65, you get a four-course meal that not only serves up the traditional fixings, but also adds a twist such as leek and sausage stuffed turkey along with a side of whipped brown butter potatoes. If that sounds delicious to you, then hurry up and make your reservation.
Miss Lily’s: For a Caribbean twist on Thanksgiving, Miss Lily’s is serving up jerk turkey breast along with other unique takes on traditional Thanksgiving foods. But don’t worry, you can still enjoy a slice of pumpkin pie – it just wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without pumpkin pie, of course.
Angelica: For the vegans out there, head over to Angelica, where you will enjoy soup, squash, mushroom gravy, and sweet potatoes. For dessert, you can enjoy a either the gluten-free classic pumpkin pie served with ginger whip, or vegan chocolate layer cake with chocolate fudge frosting and raspberry filling. How can you even pick?
