These restaurants are open on Thanksgiving in Westchester, Rockland and Putnam counties
How did it get to be November so quickly? But here it is, which means it's time to start making your Thanksgiving meal plans.
For those who don't want to cook, Rockland and Westchester restaurateurs are here to serve, open and offering everything from Char Siu roasted turkey breast with burnt sage and ginger cranberry sauce (Goosefeather in Tarrytown) to butternut squash spaghetti (Moderne Barn in Armonk), honey bourbon salmon (AquaTerra in Pearl River) and paella (Sazone in New City).
Turkey, naturally, is also on the menu. A sampling of spots follows and, as with everything, it's best to make your reservations early. Check the restaurant's website for specifics on menu items or specials for Thanksgiving. This list will be updated.

Free Thanksgiving dinners
Little Drunken Chef in White Plains is, once again, the site for free takeout Thanksgiving meals "to anyone and everyone." Bonnie Saran, chef/owner of the restaurant (who also owns Little Kabab Station, Little Mumbai Market in Pleasantville, Little Crepe Street and the temporarily closed Little Drunken Chef in Mount Kisco), has done this for 10 years running, first in Mount Kisco and now in her larger White Plains spot. Meals will be offered from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and feature either a traditional Thanksgiving meal of turkey, ham, vegetables and mashed potatoes or a more Indian-focused one featuring chicken tiki masala, rice, salad and lasooni gobi (cauliflower florets in garlic chili sauce). Both include desserts. 91 Mamaroneck Ave., White Plains, 914-615-9300, facebook.com/littledrunkenchef
