Thanksgiving in Los Angeles
Your guide to Thanksgiving in Los Angeles, from the best dinners (turkeys, pies, wine!) to weekend events

Thanksgiving in Los Angeles can be tough like an overcooked turkey—especially if you’re without plans. If you’re staying in L.A.—as many more of us probably are this year—leave the cooking to the pros and make a reservation for Thanksgiving dinner (we found traditional, haute cuisine and vegan options, too). If you’re scrambling to plan a dinner, let L.A.’s best restaurants do most of the legwork: We found the best pies, take-out turkeys and side dishes to take some of the stress out. After dinner, settle on the couch with one of our Thanksgiving movie recommendations, plan out your Black Friday strategy or just dream of the next day’s leftovers. And there are plenty of drive-in screenings to keep you going throughout the weekend.
