One if by Land, Two if by Sea

For a Thanksgiving steeped in old New York romance, book a table at this candlelit West Village landmark, set in a historic carriage house on Barrow Street said to have once belonged to Hamilton’s rival, Aaron Burr. The $195 per person menu opens with a roasted pumpkin croquette, followed by a choice of New England lobster bisque, Sancerre-spiked oysters or steak tartare. For the main course, choose a traditional roasted turkey with sage stuffing and cranberry relish, or the restaurant’s signature beef Wellington. A wild mushroom and chestnut Wellington means vegans won’t miss out. Finish with a dessert tasting of chocolate pistachio mousse and apple tarte tatin.

The Noortwyck

For a Thanksgiving that feels both elevated and easygoing, head to The Noortwyck, the West Village restaurant from chef Andy Quinn and sommelier Cedric Nicaise, who met at Eleven Madison Park. Its name is Dutch for “North District,” a nod to the northern tract of New Amsterdam it sits on. Start with a caviar hash brown or honeynut squash soup with sage brown butter. Then choose roasted turkey breast with all the trimmings, slow-roasted prime rib au jus or sunchoke and black truffle agnolotti, with sides like whipped sweet potatoes and charred green beans. Pair it all with something from the deep wine list, and finish with a slice of pumpkin, bourbon pecan or Dutch apple pie.
