These are the best grocery stores open on Thanksgiving in every neighborhood, if you forgot to buy a turkey (oops)
Grocery stores open on Thanksgiving will come to your rescue if you forgot an ingredient or totally spaced on the side dish you promised to bring your aunt. Take a break from live-streaming the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and run to the store, and if you’re too lazy to leave the house, try food and drink delivery: FreshDirect will deliver until 12pm and FoodKick until 2pm on Thanksgiving Day. If you’re really anti-grocery, you can always try to score a last-minute reservation at restaurants serving Thanksgiving dinner in NYC.
