There are two kinds of people who celebrate Thanksgiving: the ones who go all out as hosts and prep the turkey, all the side dishes and desserts, and the ones who feast at their favorite restaurants. While both personality types will be surrounded by family and friends, only the latter will be free of clean-up duties after dinner.

Bergen County has a bevy of top-tier restaurants, many of which are open on Thanksgiving and ready to feed you and your family. No shopping, prepping or cooking required—all you need to do is call or make a reservation online, put on your best stretchy pants and show up.
