BROOKLYN, NEW YORK — Before you take that long walk home, staggering under the weight of a frozen turkey, before you unload your purses from the oven you use as a closet, before you attempt what promises to be a disgusting gluten-free stuffing, think. There could be a better way.
We live in Brooklyn, a place where cozy restaurants and comfort food abound. And some of them are taking reservations for Thanksgiving.
Consider this round-up your reprieve from a day of basting a terrifyingly enormous bird, humoring vegans, and cramming 11 people around your coffee table.
