If you're a veteran or are currently serving active military duty, then make your way to Applebee's tomorrow and eat for free. The restaurant is dishing out, in honor of Veteran's Day, meals on the house to customers who can show proof of military service.

Applebee's locations in Brooklyn include restaurants at 395 Flatbush Avenue, 1360 Fulton Street, and 2505 Emmons Avenue.

I just got an email from Stinky Bklyn about a "last chance turkey dance"... The Smith Street cheese shop is selling Vermont turkeys for the holidays, and the last day to get your Thanksgiving order in is this Tuesday, November 10. Turkeys are available in sizes from 12 pounds to 24 pounds (@ $4.90 per pound). Call (718) 522-7425 to reserve your bird.

Alternatively, if the idea of slaving away in the kitchen all day on T-Day doesn't appeal to you, then now's the time to make your Thanksgiving restaurant reservations. Try your luck at one of these great Brooklyn restaurants that will be open (and serving up some fine menus) on Thanksgiving. Bon appetit!

Next Tuesday, November 12, you can celebrate the adult- and kid-approved 1984 Muppets classic The Muppets Take Manhattan at a special one-night screening that will include a pre-movie talk with "Sesame Street Dad" Roscoe Orman. Tickets are $10 for kids and $15 for adults; profits will be donated to Brooklyn's Puppetry Arts organization.

The event starts at 8pm at UA Court Street 12 Regal Cinemas (106 Court Street in Brooklyn Heights).
