This contemporary Greek spot is offering a three-course,
prix-fixe (for $39.95) or a la carte Greek-influenced Thanksgiving
dinner from noon to 8 p.m. First course offerings include
a fall butternut squash soup, bulgur salad and “grandma’s
meatballs.” The second course options are classics with a twist:
roasted turkey, grilled branzino and lamb chops. Dessert is a
choice between a spiced walnut cake or Greek yogurt.

2. Bubba’s Bistro
718-728-2227
31-13A DITMARS BLVD., ASTORIA
Bubba’s knows that those lines for grocery
store turkeys can stretch a mile long as
prep starts for the big day, so the Southern
comfort eatery will be selling whole 12- to
14-pound turkeys to go on Thanksgiving
Day. Or if you’d rather dine in, they’re offering
a classic turkey dinner complete
with American staples including sweet or
mashed potatoes, apple stuffing and cranberry
sauce from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
