Preparing a Thanksgiving feast in a pint-sized New York kitchen when you have family in town can be stressful, to say nothing of juggling kids, food prep and grocery shopping. Give yourself a break this year because when it comes to T-Day take outs, NYC delivers. Whether you want to skip the veg prep, outsource the appetizers, farm out the pies or ship in the entire event, you’ve got options. Click through for ideas and resources guaranteed to make this Thanksgiving a whole lot easier — and more enjoyable — for the entire family.

Marketplace Menu

Il Buco Alimentari, known for its simple authentic food with Italian-NY vibe, is offering a complete Thanksgiving dinner to go, via their marketplace. The spread will comfortably feed a group of 10 to 14 guests and includes a 16-18 lb bird, crushed Yukon and sweet potatoes, caramelized Brussel sprouts, buckwheat stuffing, cranberry sauce and gravy for the fairly modest price tag of $250. If you just want to outsource the veg all the sides can be ordered individually. Holiday desserts include pumpkin pie, salted chocolate tart and an apple cake. Alternatively, eat-in at their family-style restaurant and have them take care of everything - including the washing up.
