Thanksgiving embodies the most beautiful time of the year through collective gratefulness, crisp fall weather, the love of family and friends, and of course, through delicious Thanksgiving food.  However, some people aren't keen on handling the stress that sometimes comes with all that food. If you don't particularly get along with your family, you just don't feel like cooking this year, you don't want the stress of hosting a meal, or you just need to get out and have some good food on Thanksgiving, Tri-state eateries and Townsquare Media have you covered!  Luckily, there are several options to choose from this year in the tri-state area where you can have all of the great Thanksgiving food without all the Thanksgiving prepping, cooking, hosting, mess, and stress!
