Thanksgiving is supposed to be a holiday, right? So what’s with all the slaving away in the kitchen?  For those of you who would rather sleep in and have the feast prepared for you, here are six restaurants for Thanksgiving dinner done right, each one just a train, bus or boat ride away.

FORT GREENE

No. 7 | 7 Greene Avenue | 718.522.6370
It’s all in the family at this inventive Brooklyn restaurant, where the three-course feast will be served around one large communal table. No. 7 promises some sort of turkey, mashed potatoes and stuffing, but don’t expect it to be just like mom’s, given chef Tyler Kord’s propensity for out-there flavor combos like celery root soup with fried calamari, turkey leg enchiladas, and vanilla pudding with miso bananas.
Cost: $85 for a three-course meal, including beer and wine, and leftovers
Times: There are two chances to catch the meal, at 2:30pm and 5:00pm
Getting There: C train to Lafayette Avenue.

DITMAS PARK

The Farm on Adderley | 1108 Cortelyou Road | 718.287.3101
South Brooklyn’s foremost farm-to-table spot will be serving up Dutchess County Turkey alongside amped-up fixings like chestnut-raisin stuffing, plus enticing starters like cured pear salad with pistachio delicata squash and blue cheese. Save room for root beer cake with poached quince, chocolate bread pudding with banana cream, or the apple crisp with crème fraîche
Cost: $55 for a three-course meal
Times: Four seatings at 12:30pm, 3:00pm, 5:30pm and 8:00pm.
Getting There: B or Q train to Cortelyou Road

HOWARD BEACH
Vetro | 164-49 Crossbay Blvd. | 718.880.1332
This far-flung Queens neighborhood is best known to most Manhattanites for its proximity to JFK, but it’s also one of the city’s best unheralded stops for opulent Italian-American cuisine. At this waterfront restaurant, start with an antipasta platter of shrimp-stuffed mushrooms, fried calamari and hand-rolled mozarella with sopresseta, before moving on to pork osso bucco or pollo marsala. There’s traditional turkey, too, but of course it comes filled with spicy, sausage stuffing.
Cost: $50 for a four-course meal
Times: 12pm to 10pm
Getting There: Q41 bus to 164th Avenue/92nd Street

HUDSON VALLEY

Rhinecliff Hotel | 4 Grinnell Street, Rhinecliff | 845.876.0590
Ninety minutes north of midtown, this historic railway hotel boasts a scenic perch on the banks of the Hudson—and a two-minute walk from the Amtrak station. Warm up with Calvados-laced spiced apple cider before digging into locally-grown roast turkey topped with a kumquat-cranberry relish. For sides, wild mushroom bread pudding is served with Coach Farms goat cheese while Savoy cabbage gets a flavor boost from applewood smoked bacon.
Cost: Four-course family-style, $42.95 for adults / $19.95 for children
Times: 12pm to 6pm
Getting There: Amtrak to Rhinecliff Station

T-Day dinner at on-site restaurant Equus offers refined options like scallion and chevre tortellini, roast barnyard turkey with maple sweet potato puree, sea bass or braised lamb, and pumpkin cheese cake with spiced crème anglaise.
Cost: $84 for a four-course meal, $35 children’s menu
Times: 12pm to 7pm
