Where to Pick Up Your Holiday Meal

By Nicole Cerquitella, Publisher November 12, 2020

So many people have been asking for recommendations for places they can pick up a Thanksgiving meal this year to eat at home.  Whether COVID has changed or cancelled your traditional Thanksgiving plans, or you're just plain tired of this year and ready to celebrate Thanksgiving by giving yourself a break, we've compiled a local list of fantastic options for order ahead and pick up Thanksgiving meals.   Enjoy!  Remember, while the Thanksgiving holiday is filled with delicious culinary traditions, Thanksgiving is all about family, and giving thanks for what we have.   Whether you connect with your family and friends in person (safely) or via Zoom this holiday season, I hope that you are able to connect, feel the love of family and community and recharge with love and gratitude.
