East End Thanksgiving Takeout & Dining Options

There comes a point when a family’s annual Thanksgiving dinner begins to taste a little stale — or at the very least, boring. You can try to introduce a new side or a new dessert each year, but if the core is the same year after year, it quickly loses its appeal. This year, why not really mix things up? Check out these Hamptons and North Fork restaurants offering exciting takeout and dining opportunities this Thanksgiving.
