Thanksgiving is pretty much about two things: eating and family. Unfortunately, not everyone is lucky enough to be able to gather their loved ones together for Thanksgiving nor cook an amazing home meal for the occasion. So, what is the next best thing you can do to enjoy this wonderful holiday? EAT!

Gather your friends whose Thanksgiving plans have also failed and turn this Thanksgiving into a fantastic day by sticking together. Portland’s got a range of fabulous restaurants open for Thanksgiving, which makes this plan even better. The bad news? The restaurants book up quickly. But, the good one is that there are plenty of great places you’d love even if your favorite one is booked. Either way, be quick to reserve your table!
