Thanksgiving Day always brings with it a mad dash to the supermarket, hours spent in the kitchen, and a fridge filled with leftovers, but it doesn’t have to.
Several restaurants on Cape Cod will be open for business and providing a Thanksgiving spread for locals and tourists alike.
Everybody wins: the restaurant owners get a much-needed boost during their off season, and the locals get to kick their feet up instead of worrying about the pumpkin pie burning.
Why not let somebody else do all of the cooking (and cleaning!) for you?
Be aware that most restaurants require reservations and may fill up early. So call or book online to avoid disappointment. If you know of any other restaurants that are open, please let us know by emailing us.
