10 Great Spots for Thanksgiving Dinner in Brooklyn
Thanksgiving can be stressful. Cooking in a too-small kitchen, worrying if the turkey will dry out, running out of wine, cleaning up after too many people. Luckily, this is Brooklyn, and all of that is optional. These 10 places are all serving Thanksgiving dinner this year — sans doing dishes.
Meadowsweet
149 Broadway, between Bedford and Driggs avenues.
If what you’re looking for is a fancier meal, Meadowsweet has got you covered. This Michelin-starred Williamsburg spot is serving a three course pre-fixe, featuring day boat scallops, filet, roasted turkey (of course), and maple panna cotta. The restaurant is seating from 1 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., and can accommodate vegan diets.
$95 per person, $45 for kids under 12. Details here.
The Farm on Adderley
1108 Cortelyou Road, between Stratford and Westminster roads.
This Ditmas Park favorite is serving a three course pre-fixe menu. Options include fried brussels sprouts, a golden chanterelle casserole, oyster stew, and pumpkin rolls. Remaining reservations are limited, but this is one of the few spots that takes walk-ins on the day-of.

Rose Water
787 Union Street, between 5th and 6th avenues.
Rose Water, a Park Slope institution, is having an extra-special Thanksgiving dinner this year. After 19 years in business, this will be their last day open.

Buttermilk Channel
524 Court Street, between Huntington and Nelson streets.
Buttermilk Channel’s three course pre-fixe features only one classic main dish: Turkey with all the fixins. Of course, theirs is cider-brined and comes with honeynut squash and broccolini gratin, as well as roasted brussels sprouts, buttermilk potatoes, stuffing, and cranberries. The menu also offers oysters, Four & Twenty Blackbirds pies, and roasted sweet potato soup.
