Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays as the only expectations are good food and being surrounded by friends and family! While I enjoy eating, I don’t enjoy cooking and washing the piles of dishes that are left over after a fabulous feast! If you want to enjoy everything Thanksgiving has to offer minus the grunt work, check out the below brunch and dinner options all over the area (and take a stroll down my own Thanksgiving Day memory lane – when you always seem to end up living on the opposite coast of your family, my Thanksgivings often turn into Friendsgiving Adventures)!
