7 Thanksgiving Specials to Gobble Up in NYC

If you find yourself in New York this November, there are quite a few treats to be thankful for. Here’s a round-up of the best spots to get Thanksgiving specials available this month. From turkey mac and cheese to Thanksgiving croissants, these restaurants will be a great addition to a seasonal feast.

Mimi Cheng’s

Mimi Cheng’s never fails to disappoint with their inventive dumplings. They have new specials every month, and every November means their Thanksgiving dumplings are back. Filled with turkey, gravy, and stuffing and served with homemade cranberry sauce, it’s the most festive dumpling this season.

Quality Eats

Franksgiving special (11/25 – 12/1)
Quality Eats takes turkey to the next level with their Franksgiving hot dogs: housemade turkey dogs with Thanksgiving toppings like cranberry mustard, green bean relish, turkey chili, gravy, and apple mustard. They’re served in brioche buns with a side of autumn slaw and stuffing fries – fried blocks of stuffing that are quite possibly the best holiday fried food ever. Stick around for the Pie Fight Sundae for dessert: housemade pumpkin chai ice cream with pecan pie toppings!

Bubby’s

Thanksgiving Pies

Bubby’s has some of the best pancakes and old-style comfort food, and their pies are no exception! While they do have classic pumpkin and apple pies for the Thanksgiving season, make sure to try their unique apple whiskey crumble and organic pecan maple pies. If you’re feeling bold, their sour cherry pie is sure to win your guests over: it’s flaky, tart, and sweet – something your stomach will be grateful for.

Turkey Mac n Cheese
Some people have mac and cheese as a side dish for Thanksgiving dinner, but S’MAC makes it the star of the table. Every November, the Turkey Mac graces the menu with swiss cheese, turkey, and in-house stuffing. The homemade gravy and cranberry sauce transform mac and cheese into your not-so-average Thanksgiving dinner.
S’MAC won’t be open on Thanksgiving Day, but their Turkey Mac is available for the rest of November.

Milk Bar

Thanksgiving Croissant
Thought Milk Bar was only cookies and soft serve? Then their Thanksgiving Croissant is going to blow your mind. It’s a seasoned croissant filled with turkey, gravy, and cranberry sauce. All of Thanksgiving dinner wrapped into a flaky pastry? Feasting on fall food is so much easier.

Blue Ribbon Fried Chicken

Chicken Gobbler
Blue Ribbon Fried Chicken has phenomenal monthly special sandwiches, and their Chicken Gobbler is one of the best. It’s loaded with mashed potatoes, gravy, and cranberry sauce – basically Thanksgiving with fried chicken instead of turkey.

Gobble Gobble Vegan Thanksgiving Burger (+ pies!)
For all the plant-based peeps out there, Thanksgiving may be a tricky holiday for cooking and eating. Luckily, by CHLOE always has vegan burgers to be thankful for, and during November you can grab their Gobble Gobble burger. Their fluffy potato bun is stuffed with seitan, kale, gravy, stuffing, and cranberry sauce – so you get all your Thanksgiving favorites without any guilt.
The best part? For every Gobble Gobble burger sold, $1 is donated to the North Shore Animal League America, an organization dedicated to rescuing and caring for homeless animals. It’s a sandwich that truly gives back.
