November 15, 2007 |

New Yorkers and visitors will really have something to be thankful for this Thanksgiving, with great prix fixe menus at some of the city’s hottest restaurants. This year, why not consider taking your family out for a delicious meal and best of all, let someone else do the dishes when it’s over! Here are some of our picks for what will surely be a memorable Thanksgiving ‘07.

Cuisine & Category: American (New), American (Traditional), Mediterranean, Upscale Casual Dining
Special Offer: Thanksgiving 2007 Dinner Menu for $65.00

This much-acclaimed two-year-old offshoot of the East Village’s Five Points restaurant offers several choices on the three-course Thanksgiving menu. Served all day on Thursday (seatings are from 2:00PM to 8:00PM), the menu features what New York Magazine calls “simple but deftly prepared pleasures,” and is sure to give diners plenty to be thankful for on Thanksgiving.

Neighborhood: Gramercy/Flatiron District, NYC (E. 28th St. bet. Park & Madison Ave.)

Chef/Owner Alex Urena “can really cook,” according to Frank Bruni’s review last week in the New York Times, and Thanksgiving seems like a great day to see for yoursef. The prix menu offers Thanksgiving dinner with a decidedly Spanish twist. Three courses plus a side dish are $45.00, and dinner will be served from 3:00PM to 8:00PM on the holiday.

What could be more American for this very American holiday than dinner at a steakhouse? Executive Chef/Managing Partner Michael Lomonaco is offering an $85.00 four-course menu featuring his take on Thanksgiving dinner; entrees include Grilled salmon, Pan roasted halibut, Black Angus rib of beef, and, of course, Roasted natural turkey with apple, sage and vidalia onion dressing and giblet gravy.

Cuisine & Category: European American, Upscale Casual Dining
Special Offer: Thanksgiving 2007 Dinner Menu for $59.00
Neighborhood: Chelsea, NYC (9th Ave. bet. 22nd & 23rd St.)

Austrian Chef Daniel Angerer’s popular Chelsea Brasserie has certainly gotten a lot of attention since its 2006 opening, for what Time Out calls its “totally unpredictable menu [which] yields many surprising hits.” A sure-fire hit as well will be Klee’s Thanksgiving three-course prix fixe, which features such entrees as Maple laced turkey, Apple wood grilled Virginia sea trout, and Colorado lamb shank. Special Holiday drinks and sides are priced separately. The menu is served from noon until 10:00PM.

Cuisine & Category: Italian, Upscale Dining
Special Offer: Thanksgiving 2007 Dinner for $30.00
Neighborhood: Upper West Side, NYC (W. 73rd bet. Columbus & Amsterdam Ave.)

A “warm, unpretentious Italian restaurant … (the) prototypical neighborhood standby,” is how New York Magazine fondly describes Arte Cafe on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Always a great value (especially with DiningFever’s exclusive non-holiday offer), the value’s even greater for Thanksgiving. Arte is offering a four-course dinner for $30.00, served until 8:00PM Thanksgiving night.
