Non-Thanksgiving Thanksgiving?
My mom is coming to town and wants to go out to eat on Thanksgiving, but doesn't want Thanksgiving food. Does anyone know of an awesome restaurant that will NOT be turkey-focused that day?

I'd head for a Chinese restaurant - but not having been in Manhattan for 10 months, I'll leave the specifics to others.

Make a reservation at Peking Duck House!

since our family lives on the other side of the country, DH and i always get chinese on thanksgiving with whatever other lonelies are in the city :)
(of course, we also have a "thankstaking" the week or so before the actual holiday, with all the fixings.)

Momofuku Ssam Bar is doing their Bo Ssam for thanksgiving... it's not turkey based, and a great meal... May be a bit much if it is just you and your mom,
If you are going for Chinese, there are several great seafood places in Chinatown... I also second the peking duck house...
Another great option is korean bbq... if you are a pork lover, i suggest going to Choong Moo Roh (32nd btwn 5th and broad) and getting their pork belly (sam gyub sal)... it's the best in the city... if you prefer beef... go to Madangsui (35th btwn 5th and 6th i believe) and get the kalbi (i prefer the non-marinated version)
