Chef Melba Wilson has concocted a $60 Thanksgiving feast at her legendary Harlem restaurant. (Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are among its many fans.) Wilson kicks off the holiday meal with butternut squash soup or jumbo shrimp cocktail, and moves on to a selection of turkey with cornbread and sausage stuffing; barbecue beef short ribs; sea bass; or pineapple-glazed ham. Sides include collard greens and candied yams.

Cozy outdoor dining bubbles make this neighborhood Bolognese spot a fun holiday choice. This year, the $139 prix fixe begins with a mini pizza enhanced by white truffle and served with champagne. The costly tuber shines throughout the meal in such selections as an appetizer of potatoes au gratin with truffle oil and gnocchi parmesan with fresh burrata and shaved white truffles. Pumpkin pecan pie and pumpkin gelato hit the sweet spot.

The gathering spot for politicos, actors, and other boldfaced names in New York gets particularly festive starting at Thanksgiving, with a Christmas tree, pumpkins and striking floral arrangements.

A pasta course includes chestnut fettuccine with wild mushrooms ($32); and the main event is a free-range heritage farm turkey ($55). Bourbon pecan tart and chocolate soufflé with chestnut ice cream are among the desserts.

For a dressed-up Thanksgiving, an elegant hotel is a great choice. This one, located on Park Avenue in the center of the city’s holiday festivities, is offering a 4-course prix fixe ($175 for adults; $65 for children) that begins with pumpkin veloute; or lobster bisque with tarragon and armagnac. Appetizers include beef tartare and burrata with spiced spaghetti squash; and, aside from slow-roasted turkey, there are choices of wild king salmon with Jerusalem artichoke; rack of lamb with chanterelles; and wagyu tenderloin for the main course. Save room for pumpkin pie with eggnog ice cream or carrot cake with salted caramel glaze.

Peking duck, roasted or flaming ($125 a la carte), is the fowl of choice at this upscale northern Chinese spot in Midtown, which just reopened its grand main dining room.

A pumpkin cake with whipped yogurt and passion fruit is a special holiday treat.

At this rustic spot in Jackson Heights, the $72 Thanksgiving meal begins with a kabocha squash soup shooter or mushrooms a la Grecque.

Organic turkey served up in a pie that also contains foie gras and truffle is part of the eight- course, $200 omakase menu at this sublime Japanese dining room filled with natural wood and dramatic chandeliers.

Apple pie and ice cream seal the deal. 

Pumpkin tortellini, pumpkin and kabocha squash soup, and autumn salad with butternut squash are among the starters at this bustling restaurant from chef Mark Strausman, who famously made Freds at Barneys a power lunch room. A seven vegetable dish with mushrooms, maple-roasted carrots, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, sweet potato souffle and cabbage is an alternative to turkey. Pies include apple, pecan and — of course — pumpkin.

The $71 Thanksgiving feast starts with a mezze spread at this hopping Flatiron spot, where many dishes are prepared in a taboon oven in the open kitchen. Heirloom cauliflower with green tahini and aleppo pepper glaze and crispy artichokes with turmeric aioli are among the starters, while taboon-roasted snapper with apple cider sauce, and turkey with sourdough stuffing, sweet potato and Brussels sprouts are included in the main event. End the meal with standouts including the rosewater panna cotta and pecan tart.

The pumpkin cake is topped with spiced cream cheese frosting, while plums and apples share a pastry shell in the galette.

Iranian chef Nasrin Rejali has been a pop-up force over the past year, hosting Persian brunches and dinners out of Pàn and other locations, as well as stocking an online pantry shop with flavorful jams and teas and Middle Eastern sweets.

There truly is no bad time for a taco. The Austin-style versions from King David Tacos take on a popular holiday theme as the Brooklyn-based shop brings back the Cranbirdy, a limited edition Thanksgiving breakfast taco ($5.50). A pillowy flour tortilla holds DiPaola’s turkey breakfast sausage, breakfast sausage, roasted sweet potatoes, eggs, a blend of cheeses, and a side of cranberry salsa. It’s available between November 15 to 26 at the Prospect Heights location and the restaurant’s various carts in town.
