RESTAURANTS
The 5 Point Cafe
The legendary 24-hour dive bar will be serving up a traditional Thanksgiving menu and drink specials in addition to their usual menu.
13 Coins
As an argument in favor of your spending the holiday with them, beloved 24-hour restaurant 13 Coins offers simply that they've "been roasting turkeys for 50 years," which is hard to debate. Plus, they're closing soon, so this may be one of your last chances to eat there before their relocation to Pioneer Square in Januaryâall the more reason to tuck into a traditional Thanksgiving feast with a pumpkin-spiced bundt cake from their swanky black booths and high-backed leather chairs.
Agrodolce
At Chef Maria Hines' Southern Italian trattoria-style supper, choose your own adventure with a selection between caramelized brussels sprout "casserole" with creamy mushrooms and crispy fried shallots, sweet potato cavatelli with sage brown butter, cranberries and toasted pumpkin seeds, or turkey breast involtini, a "turkey breast that is slowly cooked in a water bath then rolled with provolone picante and speck and served with savory focaccia bread pudding and pomegranate gastrique." Buon appetito!
