Preparing a Thanksgiving feast in a pint-sized New York kitchen when you have family in town can be stressful, to say nothing of juggling kids, food prep and grocery shopping. Give yourself a break this year because when it comes to T-Day take outs, NYC delivers. Whether you want to skip the veg prep, outsource the appetizers, farm out the pies or ship in the entire event, you’ve got options. Click through for ideas and resources guaranteed to make this Thanksgiving a whole lot easier — and more enjoyable — for the entire family.

Shake it Up

If you're ready to break with tradition you'll find plenty to celebrate on the Thanksgiving menu at NoLita's Italian fast-casual spot The Sosta. Newly opened this summer, their Spaghetti Pie is available for special order for Thanksgiving for $60 and can be picked up between November 15th - 23rd. If you're looking for something with a Southern flare, Lower Manhattan's Root & Bone serves up rural American cuisine and their to-go menu includes mac n cheese with biscuit crumbs and Grandma Daisy's Buttermilk Biscuits. You can also make reservations to eat in on the day.
