My parents are starting to make plans to visit for Thanksgiving. Being that there's no way I'm cooking a turkey in my miniature oven, can you recommend some good restaurants for Turkey Day?
Ask Gothamist can relate, as there's no way we could fit a turkey in our tiny oven, let along rely on it for an accurate temperature or seat four people in our apartment for a real sit-down meal. So when the Ask Gothamist in-laws paid a Thanksgiving visit a few years back, we took them to a local restaurant - Banania, in Brooklyn - where we had a wonderful Thanksgiving meal with all the traditional trimmings. We would suggest giving it a try if you live near, or are willing to travel to, the Cobble Hill/Carroll Gardens/Boerum Hill area. But since we don't know what neighborhood you live in or what your location requirements are, here's a handy guide to restaurants in NYC serving Thanksgiving dinners at About.com, featuring restaurants all over the city with dinners ranging from about $29 to $95 per person. Mmm, we can almost taste the turkey now.
Do any Ask Gothamist readers have more recommendations for a Thanksgiving restaurant feast for all the New Yorkers with tiny kitchens?

I have a friend who has a 20 inch oven and usually has 6-8 people over for Thanksgiving. I asked her how she does it and she told me two words "Neiman Marcus". They deliver everything pre-cooked, just needs to be warmed up. I think it might be cheaper than a restaurant. Good luck
Take this as an opportunity to try deep fried turkey this year and order your gobbler from Jive Turkey in the Clinton Hill neighborhood of Brooklyn. You can order online and even order an entire meal.
The Cajun Fried is my fave. http://www.thejiveturkey.com/
La Mangeoire on 2nd b/t 53rd & 54th.
Can't remember how much the prix fixe was, but last year it was pretty good and there were choices for those who don't care for the traditional menu.

I had a lovely Thanksgiving dinner with my husband a few years ago at Gage and Tollner...such a pity it closed.
I seem to remember people on Chowhound complaining about Jive Turkey and delivery problems last year.

Nothing like a fried turkey for Thanksgiving!!!!Jive Turkey has the best, so good the lines were out the door down the block and across the street! Get there early so you don't have to wait for hours or leave empty handed like I did and get a fried turkey for Christmas instead. Maybe those folks who were unhappy were at the end of the line.
