Looking for an easy, stress-free holiday this year? It’s going to be different this year for many of us, with small gatherings or no gatherings, and for some of this is sad and a bit lonesome.
Rather than cook your traditional meal with fewer people, why not try something completely different and do Thanksgiving take-out style? Support our local businesses and make some new memories for the unique 2020 Thanksgiving. Whether it’s for just you, you and a loved one, your immediate family, or a larger gathering our local restaurants have you covered. Choose from traditional fare, a fancy meal, or some special sides and desserts. You can even dine-in at some our favorite restaurants on Thanksgiving. Who knows, it may become a new tradition!
