We love spending Thanksgiving with our families in the city. We can’t quite host a dinner for 12+ people in our apartment, but thankfully there are lots of restaurants around the city that offer great meals and deals on Turkey Day. Serious Eats has compiled a great list of some of the higher end restaurants offering special Thanksgiving dinners. Unfortunately, many of these are $65+ per person and some charge as much as $150. The last two years we have been very happy with our Thanksgiving dinners at Primehouse ($35-45 per person). The year before it was Blue Water Grill ($35-45 per person). In general, the BR Guest restaurants do a phenomenal job with their Turkey prix-fixe meals, which they offer at a very palatable price. Here’s a list we’ve compiled with plenty of affordable Thanksgiving dinner options around town ($50 and less)…
