And all just one month before we do it again for Christmas.Here are my picks for top 5 places in the city to celebrate American Thanksgiving.Note: Reservations are recommended.
Ahh, Turducken. One of the most brilliant dishes ever invented. And this American Thanksgiving, you can experience this Southern delicacy at Southern Accent (As it can take roughly 10 hours to assemble and cook yourself, this is much, much easier).

Who better to serve up an American holiday meal than the boys from Boston? Chef Paul created the Thanksgiving Burger ($9.95), calling it "Like Thanksgiving leftovers on a bun." With fresh ground seasoned turkey, stuffing, Paul's orange cranberry sauce, roasted butternut squash, and mayonnaise, it's the whole holiday meal in a convenient handheld version. And it's available ALL.YEAR. LONG. Talk about being thankful.
