Shake it Up

If you're ready to break with tradition you'll find plenty to celebrate on the Thanksgiving menu at NoLita's Italian fast-casual spot The Sosta. Newly opened this summer, their Spaghetti Pie is available for special order for Thanksgiving for $60 and can be picked up between November 15th - 23rd. If you're looking for something with a Southern flare, Lower Manhattan's Root & Bone serves up rural American cuisine and their to-go menu includes mac n cheese with biscuit crumbs and Grandma Daisy's Buttermilk Biscuits. You can also make reservations to eat in on the day.
