did anyone dine out at a restaurant for thanksgiving? if so, where did you go, why did you choose the place, and most importantly, what did you order?

We opted for brunch this year at a Disney hotel - it was absolutely wonderful! Everything you could imagine - traditional favorites + new, interesting foods - were incorporated into a magnificent spread. The only drawback was no leftovers...I was craving apple pie for breakfast the next day!

We hit up Angelica Kitchen on E. 12th between 1st and 2nd ave in Manhattan for their 5 course Prix Fixe Thanksgiving Feast. Its the only day during the year that they do the prix fixe, but it was amazing. It started with pickled veggies and a turnip pate with toasted flatbread, then next was a pumpkin bisque with toasted pumpkin seeds. The salad course was a mix of apples, figs, sliced radish, and I think fennel over baby greens with a balsalmic dressing. There was a choice between seitan & acorn squash or a wild mushroom tamale for the main course. I opted for the tamale and it was amazing! Chanterelles and other 'shrooms with sweet corn masa, pinenuts, tomatoes and a side of cooked beans! The seitan was served with cranberry sauce on the top and both entrees came with kale. The dessert was a choice between pumpkin pie, a poached pear, or a chocolate torte. Since it was thanksgiving and all, there's no way i couldn't get pie! It was SCANDALOUSLY good and served with an orange cinnamon whip. Before we left, they gave each of us (and there were 4 of us) a teensy bag of pumpkin seed brittle with a 'thank you' note attached! I'd go again in a heartbeat.
