While some of us are prepared for a home-cooked Thanksgiving meal, others who aren’t able to make it home this year might need to look elsewhere. No need to fret though, because if you’re in New York City chances are you can find a fine meal that ranges from traditional to downright inventive. And you won’t have to do the dishes.
