Happy families are all alike, but each lonely single is sad in his or her own unique way. That is why we're offering five different options for you in the event that you will be spending the holiday all by yourself. 1. Best Table for One: The Hungry Cat (Hollywood) You’ll be glad you have no one to share the holiday with because the Thanksgiving day price per person at this seafood bar is a sky-high $165. However, if you can afford it, you can eat your feelings through deep fried turkey, six different sides and pumpkin pie while drowning your sorrows in an entire bottle of Sonoma County rosé. As an added bonus, this spot is secluded with small tables so it will almost seem natural for you to sit by yourself. Thanksgiving day hours are 1-7pm. 2. Best Place to Drink Alone: Catcher in the Rye (Toluca) No one is as alone in the world as J.D. Salinger. Bring a copy of the eponymous novel to this literary-themed bar on Thanksgiving and enjoy drinks like "The Gatsby" or "The Hemingway." That way you can feel in good company amongst brooding, alcoholic writers like Fitzgerald and Hemingway, who probably spent most of their lives feeling isolated and misunderstood, not merely on Thanksgiving. The bar is open 5pm-2am. 3. Best Place to Drink with Others: Seven Grand (Downtown) If you want to, or need to, ring in this holiday with some liquor, Seven Grand is throwing a “Wild Turkey Thanksgiving Eve Party.” There, you can expect to find a Turkey Spiced Cranberry Punch Cocktail for $6 all
