Here is a sampling of some of the restaurants that are open and serving a special Thanksgiving-themed meal on the holiday itself, Thursday Nov. 26.
The list does not include every local restaurant that will open its doors on Thanksgiving Day, so you may want to call your favorite restaurant to find out their plans. It’s likely that some restaurants will be completely booked with reservations already, but may put you on a standby list in case of cancellations.
