POSTED BY
Evelyn Kanter

Happy Thanksgiving in NYC

If you’d rather not cook, head for one of the locally-owned restaurants for either a traditional Thanksgiving dinner or a non-traditional special holiday menu.

These restaurants in NYC, Northern New Jersey and Long Island are serving Thanksgiving dinner at prices that won’t break the budget.

Nothing on our list is more than $75 for adults and $35 for kids.

Tax, tip and alcoholic beverages are additional, of course.

Reservations are essential, and be sure to tip generously since the kitchen and wait staffs are giving up their holiday to serve you.

Many national restaurant chains also are offering Thanksgiving dinner deals, many for $20 or less.
