Mark It! Thanksgiving is Thursday, November 26, and the countdown to turkey is officially on. Whether you’re hosting the whole family, throwing a Friendsgiving for your favorite people or happily handing the oven mitts to someone else this year, the DMV’s restaurants and bakeries have you covered. Book a table and let the pros do the cooking, carving and (best of all) the dishes. Rather eat at home? Pick up a complete feast to go, from the bird to every last side, and take all the credit. Friendsgiving potluck? Show up with a pie and you’ll be invited back every year. Many of these sell out fast and preorder deadlines come sooner than you think, so don’t wait. Here’s where to dine in, carry out and grab the pie this Thanksgiving and Friendsgiving.
