Sure there&#8217;s the River Café for the $125-a-head crowd and Dressler&#8217;s $90-a-plate feast, but we found seven places where you can get turkey (or possibly tofurkey) and fixins for under $25—booze not included. If you&#8217;ve heard of any deals we missed, please put them in the comments. And since working on Thursday is pretty much no fun, don&#8217;t forget to be extra thankful with the wait staff&#8230;<span id="more-11427"></span></p><p><strong>Manhattan Three Decker Diner</strong> 695 Manhattan Ave., Greenpoint (718) 389-6565<br /> <strong>Cost:</strong> $16.95 per person<br /> This prix fixe includes a full turkey dinner (with sides), dessert, coffee, and wine. Wine in a diner… hmmm. They also sell whole turkeys to take home, just in case you want massive leftovers.</p><p><strong>Prime Meat</strong>s 465 Court St., Carroll Gardens (718) 254-0327<br /> <strong>Cost: </strong>$16 per person<br /> It’s not exactly a prix-fixe meal, but for just $16 you can get a turkey plate that includes soft-pretzel stuffing, honey-roasted sweet potatoes and brussels sprouts. They’re also offering spiked cider, hot buttered rum and mulled wine, though it’ll cost you extra.</p><p><strong>Purity Diner </strong>289 7th Ave., Park Slope (718) 840-0881<br /> <strong>Cost:</strong> $14.95 per person<br /> The best deal in town—this turkey dinner includes classic side dishes, like sweet potatoes and creamed spinach, a beverage, and a slice of pie.</p><p><strong>Red Bamboo Brooklyn</strong> 271 Adelphi St., Fort Greene ,718) 643-4806<br /> <strong>Cost:</strong> approximately $20 (menu not set at time of publishing)<br /> For a vegetarian option, head to Red Bamboo Brooklyn. Though the menu hasn’t been set (call ahead for details), expect dishes similar to their Manhattan counterpart, where they’re serving bamboo herbed faux-turkey with veggie sides and a dessert.</p><p><strong>Turqua Grill</strong> І 9604 3rd Ave, Fort Hamilton І (718) 238-8885<br /> <strong>Cost:</strong> $24.99 per person for 3 courses<br /> Go a bit non-trad at this Turkish restaurant where you can choose between entrée selections like turkey shish kabob or a turkey gyro, and end with a special pumpkin desert.</p><p><strong>Union Smith Café</strong>, 305 Smith St., Carroll Gardens І (718) 643-3293<br /> <strong>Cost: </strong>$25 per person<br /> This bistro serves classic American food year-round, so expect traditional dishes like turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and a dessert.</p><p><strong>Vegas Diner, </strong>1619 86th St, Bath Beach/Dyker Heights, (718) 331-2221<br /> Cost: $18.95 per person<br /> This place is huge with some fantastic diner decor. It won’t give you a cozy, homey feel, but it will provide all the old-school classics: turkey dinner, stuffing, and all the fixings.<br style="clear:both;" /></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.brokelyn.com/thanksgiving-out-for-under-25-a-head/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>8</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
