Thanksgiving is always a special time of year, but it's even more memorable when spent in the beautiful Hamptons. This year, we're excited to share our guide to a perfect Thanksgiving in the Hamptons. Whether you're hosting dinner, ordering catering, or dining out, we have you covered. Read on to discover our favorite local places to purchase your Thanksgiving turkey, sides, and pies.
Let's start with the most important part of the meal - the turkey. If you're not up for roasting a turkey yourself, consider ordering from Smokin' Wolf. We got our turkey from them last year, and it was the best we've ever had! Their turkeys are always fresh, juicy, and packed with flavor. Plus, their homemade sides like stuffing and mashed potatoes are the perfect complement to any turkey dinner. Other great options for catering include Harbor Market and Kitchen and Roundswamp Farm. You won't regret choosing any of these local flavor experts.
Next up, we have the sides. While we love relying on local produce from farms like Amber Waves and Balsam Farm to create our own Thanksgiving sides, sometimes it's just easier to have someone else do the work. If that's the case for you, check out the delicious sides offered by the catering companies mentioned above. Otherwise, gather your ingredients at the farm stand and get cooking! Just remember that fresher and local veggies always taste better. Not to mention, cooking them can also be a fun way to get in the festive spirit!
No Thanksgiving dinner is complete without dessert. Make sure to grab some pies, specifically pies from Roundswamp Farm. This local favorite has an impressive collection of homemade pies to choose from, including apple crumb, pumpkin, and even chocolate cream. Don't miss the opportunity to end your meal with something sweet and satisfying. My mom still makes my grandma’s pies, so be sure to check out some of her recipes here on our blog if you’re looking to bake your own!
Lastly, if cooking isn't your thing and you prefer to dine out, don't worry, we've got you covered too. While it's always a great feeling to enjoy a big feast at home, you can rest easy knowing that a few fantastic restaurants in the Hamptons will be open on Thanksgiving day. For those looking for an Italian flair, Tutto Il Giorno is the spot. They always have an amazing holiday menu with fresh ingredients and delicious homemade pasta. We also recommend the 1770 House, which has been delighting its patrons with farm-to-table cuisine for many years now. Don't forget to call ahead and book your reservation if dining out, they fill up fast!
We hope this guide helps you plan a perfect Thanksgiving in the Hamptons. Whether you choose to dine out or cook at home, the Hamptons has plenty of delicious options to make your holiday meal extra special. Remember to support local farms and restaurants when you can, and don't forget to take some time to enjoy the beautiful surroundings and all that the Hamptons have to offer. Happy Thanksgiving!
