Haven't made Thanksgiving Day plans yet? Relax; there's still time to make reservations at a restaurant and leave the cooking to others. For a comprehensive overview of what's available, check out this story, which we're updating with these two recent additions:
Cafe Formaggio in Carle Place will open at 2 p.m. and offer several prix-fixe options. The first, a turkey dinner, at $39 a person, starts with a choice between tortellini in brodo and butternut squash ravioli. That’s followed by turkey breast with chestnut cornbread stuffing, gravy, candied yams, string beans and house-made cranberry sauce. Dessert is apple, pumpkin or coconut custard pie. Alternatively, there are prix-fixe options from the regular menu, beginning with a choice of appetizer (such as mozzarella fresco or zucchini linguini) and an entree (such as lobster ravioli, at $34 for the complete dinner) or Chilean sea bass ($39 complete). Choose one of the pies on the turkey dinner or else tiramisu, a mini cannoli or American cheesecake. Cafe Formaggio is at 307 Old Country Rd., Carle Place, 516-333-1718
Another place that's open on Thanksgiving Day is Legal Sea Foods, with branches in Garden City and Huntington Station. From 1 to 8 p.m., the restaurants will offer a roasted turkey breast dinner with sausage stuffing, mashed potatoes, butternut squash and cranberry sauce for $21.95 a person ($7.95 for kids). The regular menu will also be available. Legal Sea Foods is at 630 Old Country Rd., Garden City, 516-248-4600 and 160 Walt Whitman Rd., Huntington Station, 631-271-1741.
