Maybe more than ever, Thanksgiving is the perfect time to take a look back on the year and count your blessings. 

It’s also the perfect time to consider leaving all the work to someone else and supporting the work of local restaurants and bakeries.

That’s why we’ve compiled a guide of restaurants where you can dine in on Thanksgiving or pre-order delicious meals for pick-up.

Please note: pre-orders and reservations are almost always required and deadlines are coming up quickly.
