Give thanks! Local restaurants offer holiday specials

What? No plans for Thanksgiving? Fortunately, a number of restaurants are preparing a holiday repast for those who don't have the time, the place or the inclination to do it themselves. Give a call to secure a reservation. I'll keep my fingers crossed in hopes there will be seats available for you and yours.
