The Ribbon

Open on Thanksgiving day for takeout and dine-in, The Ribbon is a more affordable option for families. You can order a traditional rotisserie turkey for $39 or opt for another main, like salmon or NY strip steak. The turkey dish is a full meal for a person—it comes with traditional stuffing, mashed potatoes with gravy, sweet potato casserole, brussel sprouts, and, of course, cranberry sauce.

You can also choose to order takeout for two at $99.95, which includes two of the turkey dishes, as well as a wedge salad, roasted fall soup, and two orders of pecan pie. Multiple orders of this would make for an entire Thanksgiving Day spread, but order soon, because there's limited availability. Takeout can be picked up on Thurs., Nov. 24 from 2 to 8 p.m., so everything can go straight from the restaurant to your table.

Ways to Give Back to the Community

If you find yourself thankful for having a full stomach and a full wallet, you can give the gift of a Thanksgiving meal to someone less fortunate and spread some goodwill. Soup kitchens and various charities have opportunities to help make a special Thanksgiving meal for people who might not be able to afford one on their own. Here are two opportunities to help if you have the funds or the time:

The WSCAH Turkey Challenge

The West Side Campaign Against Hunger has been providing families with holiday meals for over 10 years. Last year, they helped over 8,000 families and this year, they're aiming even higher. With a contribution of just $50, you can feed an entire family and help the WSCAH work toward their goal of feeding 10,000 New York families.

Manhattan volunteers can bring children ages 10-17 and brighten up someone's day just by sharing a meal and a story or two.
