Thanksgiving is only two weeks from today!  It has been my experience that a fair number of District residents (who aren’t actually from the District) opt to stay here instead of traveling long distances for Thanksgiving only to repeat the ordeal again in a month for Christmas.  I’ve been to a number of orphan Thanksgivings over the years, and my family has even come to D.C. to celebrate in my tiny apartments.  If you’ll be staying in D.C. over the holiday, another option is to consider some of the great Thanksgiving dinners offered by area restaurants.  Here are the best:

Traditional

701 Restaurant:  Three-course Thanksgiving menu and live jazz for $45/adult

Art and Soul:  Set menu featuring traditional dishes, $55/adult

High End

Adour at the St. Regis:  Set four-course menu for $90/adult

Bourbon Steak at the Four Seasons:  A la carte Thanksgiving menu

Good Deals

Chef Geoff’s:  Three-course dinner for $39/adult

M Street Bar and Grille:  Three courses for $29.95

Brunch!

Blue Duck Tavern:  Thanksgiving brunch from 10:30-3:30, $85/adult
