If cooking for friends and family feels like too much effort this holiday season, you’re not alone. Tons of East Enders dine out for Thanksgiving every year, and more and more restaurants are expanding their service to accommodate guests who would prefer to go out for their holiday meal. Where should you eat dinner this Thanksgiving? Here are three must-visit picks for this year’s holiday feast:
The Maidstone Hotel
This cozy East Hampton restaurant will be serving a multi-course meal this Thanksgiving: $90 for adults and $40 for children. The meal includes a salad of roast beets, apples, and sweet potatoes, followed by a butternut squash bisque and pimento toast. Diners can choose between a traditional turkey dinner with mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and Brussels sprouts; a roasted smoked ham; a New York strip; a cedar-planked salmon; or a vegetarian entrée of acorn squash. For dessert, the restaurant is offering a warm figgy pudding, selection of crumb pies, and classic sweet potato and pumpkin pies.
Tweeds
This historic Riverhead restaurant, known largely for its bison, will be serving a prix fixe Thanksgiving meal for $36 per person. Dinner includes an appetizer of Caesar salad, crab cakes, or soup; a turkey dinner entrée, served with chestnut stuffing, giblet gravy, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, turnips and Brussels sprouts, and cranberry dressing; and a choice of pumpkin pie, chocolate decadence cake, cheesecake, or key lime pie for dessert. The meal will be served from 12 to 9 p.m.
1770 House
Michael Rozzi will be in the kitchen for this restaurant’s epic holiday feast, which is one of the highlights of the year. Expect big portions of turkey—choose your favorite part or let the chef offer up some of everything—sausage stuffing, butternut squash, mashed potatoes, and sage gravy. Amplified by a roster of impressive appetizers, like Rozzi’s Montauk fluke tartare with wasabi tobiko, this 2 to 8 p.m. feast, which costs $95 for adults and $40 for kids, is a bucket list meal.
