This Blended list offers a diverse take on Turkey Day with fall and traditional-inspired meals. Alongside the typical cultural variety in some of the most populated boroughs.
1. Wayan
With an Indonesian and French Twist on the traditional Thanksgiving feast, Wayan is pulling out all the stops this year. With Organic Turkey Breast, Brussels sprouts, and squash with ginger-coconut crust. Swap the pumpkin pie with an ube pie and pandan custard with passion fruit flavors. You can also always order a takeout version of this fusion as well. This is pricier, with $98 per person for dine-in and $448 that feeds between 4-6 people. However, this is for those drawn to the fusion aspect.
2. Cafe Mogador
For a non-American take on the holiday, try Cafe Mogador in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, for a Moroccan Thanksgiving.
