Oliver’s
Even if you haven’t taken advantage of trivia night or the live music at Oliver’s, you can still be thankful that the restaurant will be serving traditional takeout this year. Last year, Oliver’s menu featured oven-roasted turkey, grilled ham, butternut squash soup, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry compote, pecan pie, and pumpkin cheesecake. Stop by their Broadway location to order everything you need for your holiday gathering. While you’re there, you can grab a pint and enjoy Oliver’s elevated bar food that’s kept the restaurant going strong for the past eight years.

Victory Garden Café
If you’d rather kick back and watch football on Thanksgiving (and who wouldn’t?), you can have Chef Antigoni cook for you. Victory Garden Café offers a Greek twist on the typical Thanksgiving dinner. A package meal includes a 25-pound Greek-style whole turkey marinated in extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and Greek herbs and spices. The turkey is then stuffed with rice and ground veal. Don’t worry traditional stuffing still comes on the side. The package also includes Greek salad and ten sweet potatoes. Smaller serving sizes are also available.

Or you can add a side of Bubba’s mac and cheese that will complement your Thanksgiving feast. Be sure to place your order early and head over to Ditmars to pick up your dinner.
