That's a good, safe choice. The problem with dining on Thanksgiving is
that many restaurants are closed on Thanksgiving Day and reserved months
ahead for the following day (Black Friday). Hotel restaurants are
generally open. If you're looking for a traditional holiday meal, you
might want to try a place like Gramercy Tavern or Gotham Bar and Grill,
but my previously stated caveats still apply.

Well, a few if price is no object:
The creme de la creme:
Per Se (I haven't tried, but they went right to the head of the class), Alain
Ducasse or Daniel. Probably too late for reservations at any of these
(certainly Per Se).

Pricey, incredible winelists (a few comparative bargains):
Cru, Veritas

It's hard to go wrong with any Danny Meyer restaurant (Union Square Cafe, 11
Madison Park, Tabla,Gramercy Tavern)- none are cheap, but good food, good
service, good atmosphere.

I like Triomphe at the Iroquois Hotel in midtown. Interesting eclectic list,
very good food.

I could go on with less expensive or ethnic places, but maybe if you indicated
what you're looking for, I could be more precise.

One year I had a very nice Thanksgiving Dinner at "City Hall" in
Tribeca. Menu & wine list on their web site. They also have (had?) a
very nice downstairs room used for functions/live music, the Mingus
Orchestra used to play there.

Well, you'll be passing within two miles of my house when you go down I-87.
If we weren't going to my brother's house, you could come here!

Well Esther, if you want an Australian's suggestion; we had an excellent
meal at Picholine. The food was very good and the wine list has a lot of
gems at not too expensive NY prices. Their cheese trolley was worth it
alone.

4 seasons is great, Le Cirque2000 Maloony&Porcelli Morrells downtown on 20th
or close by
Union Square is always great as is sister restaurant, Gramercy Tavern

All of these are great wine places also

I agree with many of the above, and can add Aureole to the list. Great food
and atmosphere, and you'll enjoy the electronic wine list.

The last time I went to NYC (2000) I stopped at Morell's Wine Bar. The list
was a mixture of gouges and bargains. A $50 wine was on their list for
$100, but a $250 bottle was there for $125. I would have gone back, but the
cigarette smoke was terrible. If I am going to spend that much for wine, I
would like to be able to taste it. That shouldn't be a problem now. I
forget the exact address, but it is near Rockefeller Plaza.

here is another one downtown, in the 20's and Bway a friend used to work
there

For what it's worth, smoking is now against the law in New York, and it's
strictly enforced. You should be able to revisit and enjoy without having
that problem again...

It may not work for the Thanksgiving meal itself, but you should
consider having a meal at Wallse at some point during your weekend. I
just had an amazing dinner there last weekend.
And then my all time favorite NYC restaurant is Le Bernardin. Perhaps
they are serving a French, seafood version of Thanksgiving?
