Not up to making a Thanksgiving spread at home this year? Forego the kitchen and hit up one of these great Brooklyn restaurants instead. Each will be offering special Thanksgiving menus and deals, so you can have your turkey and eat it, too.
- Dressler
149 Broadway, (718) 384-6343
Options like pan roasted diver scallops and roasted breast of heritage turkey are guaranteed crowd pleasers. Add in some cornbread stuffing and sweet potato puree, and you'll feel like it's Thanksgiving at Grandma's house.
Thanksgiving Deal: $90 for a 3-course meal - The Farm on Adderley
1108 Cortelyou Road, (718) 287-3101
Head to Brooklyn's most popular "farm" for a great Thanksgiving bargain. To start? Choose from a steaming bowl of potato-leek soup served with fried oysters, heirloom apple salad, or a warm potato terrine. The meal gets even better from there, with entree options ranging from turkey stuffed with chestnut-raisin stuffing to pan-roasted black bass. Finish with a slice of root beer cake, some chocolate bread pudding, or apple panna cotta.
Thanksgiving Deal: $45 for a 3-course meal - Magnolia
486 6th Avenue, (718) 369-4814
From a harvest bisque soup made from lobster and nutmeg cream to pumpkin ravioli served in a rich cream sauce, the Thanksgiving menu at Magnolia is decadent (and delicious). Best of all? The Park Slope favorite is offering a kid-friendly menu, too, so your little ones can feast on pasta while you're indulging in a crabmeat stuffed filet of flounder.
Thanksgiving Deal: $34.95 for a 4-course meal; $14.95 children's menu - Palo Santo
