Diners looking for a world-class holiday experience in the heart of the city can enjoy a brand new version of one of NYC’s most historic restaurants, offering a Thanksgiving menu from 11am to 11pm.
For 75 years, the gilded dining room nestled inside Central Park was a New York hallmark, a scenic magnet for tourists, brides , and megastars. After the landmark restaurant was forced to close its doors in 2010, a pair of Philadelphia crepe-makers revamped the space as an urban farmhouse with wood-beam ceilings, leather-covered tables, and cozy hearths.
A complete 180 from the Eisenhower-era menu to modern, fire-driven fare, the 11,000-square-foot space, half the size of the old Tavern, is enclosed in a glass cube overlooking Central Park.
Now offering takeout and delivery, guests can enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving spread including free-range turkey, mushroom soup, and a pecan butterscotch tart.
Anything But Turkey
Just because it’s Thanksgiving, doesn’t mean it's all about the turkey. Save a bird this year by serving anything BUT turkey, mashed potatoes, and stuffing.
There will be two types of potential customers that aren’t talking turkey on Thanksgiving Day: the ones who ate early and are hungry for a late night meal consisting of anything but leftovers and people who just prefer to skip the traditional cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie. So what kind of restaurant fits this bill? Every single one. If you own a restaurant in NYC and you serve sushi, Chinese, or Mexican, and you plan to be open on Thanksgiving Day, start letting New Yorkers know now by posting #anythingbutturkey on social media.
Dinner and a Broadway Matinee
Before dinner, New Yorkers love to partake in a classic NYC activity…a Broadway show! For those preferring to skip the Macy's parade, many productions offer matinee shows on Thanksgiving Day.
If you’ll be in the city on Thanksgiving Day, feast on these Broadway and off-Broadway shows.
Heading South for the Holidays?
If you’re like many New Yorkers that head south during the winter months, many Florida restaurants are offering traditional Thanksgiving meals that include everything from turkey and stuffing to cornbread and pumpkin pie, sans the cold weather.
