It's that time of year again where we find ourselves prepared to celebrate the holidays with family and friends. Thanksgiving is a day for gratitude, and it can be difficult to feel thankful if you're stressed about making dinner for all those people coming over! Luckily, there are many prepared dinners available in local stores this time of year. They make cooking at home easy and delicious so you don't have to worry about getting everything done on your own or feeling like a short-order cook.
You can find prepared Thanksgiving dinners in the Hamptons at many different stores and restaurants, and we've compiled a list below.
Citarella. Find everything you need at your local Citarella store to make your Thanksgiving meal. They have prepared turkeys, cheese boards, and a myriad of desserts to choose from, including an assortment of pies! Citarella is one of the best-prepared gourmet markets in the Hamptons.
The Preston House & Hotel. If you want to serve a classic Thanksgiving dinner, make sure you check out The Preston House & Hotel. Pick up one of their Thanksgiving To-Go Packages, which includes a half or a whole turkey, cranberry compote, and a choice of sides and pies. If you want to dine-in that evening, they also offer a three-course meal prepared by one of their chefs and include entrée options like roast turkey with trimmings or prime rib with all the fixin's!
