Instead of heading elsewhere for Thanksgiving, you chose to stay in New York City. However, you don’t want to cook, wash the dishes, or buy the food (I don’t blame you). If the idea of fighting someone in the grocery store for the last remaining turkey doesn’t appeal to you, some of the best restaurants in NYC will be featuring their own versions of Thanksgiving comfort food.

Market Table welcomes guests to come celebrate Thanksgiving by enjoying 3-course prix fixe menu that would put any standard green bean casserole to shame. Beginning at 2 p.m. and lasting until 10 p.m. the meal starts with a choice of flavorful appetizers such as Spiced Long Island Duck Breast with roast rutabaga, arugula, fennel, and pine nuts. The Chestnut Soup is made with red wine glazed chestnuts, lardons, and cardamom cream. No Thanksgiving would be complete without turkey and traditional accompaniments which can be enjoyed with Market Table’s Roasted Holiday Turkey with cornbread dressing, wilted spinach, sage-giblet gravy, and cranberry sauce. Other dinner selections are available such as Apple Jack Braised Pork Shoulder, creamy grits, sautéed greens and country virage and Roasted Monkfish with carrot risotto and pancetta-leek brown butter provide enticing alternatives. Tempting desserts round out the meal with classics suchas Pumpkin Chiffon Pie with a gingersnap crust, and creative indulgences including the Chocolate Terrine with sea salt, hazelnuts and caramel popcorn.
