PARSIPPANY, NJ — For Parsippany residents looking to skip the cooking and cleanup this Thanksgiving, several restaurants in and around town are offering holiday dining options on Thursday, Nov. 26.
Among them are two steakhouses right in Parsippany, Ruth's Chris Steak House and The Capital Grille, both advertising special Thanksgiving meals alongside their regular menus.
Hosting Thanksgiving can mean days of shopping and preparation for a meal that disappears remarkably fast. Dining out leaves more time for visiting with family and friends, without the dishes piling up afterward.
It also makes room for a holiday that doesn't look the same for everyone. Some people are celebrating with a partner or a few friends. Others are meeting family halfway, traveling over the holiday or simply ready to retire the roasting pan for a year.
Here's where Parsippany-area residents can look for a Thanksgiving meal this year:
