Photo: Bettmann/Getty Images We’re only two days into November, but Thanksgiving reservations at Dante, which specializes in a boozy Italianate spin on the holiday, are already sold out. “We were completely booked within 24 hours,” says Nathalie Hudson, who co-owns the café and cocktail bar with her husband, Linden Pride. Just like in the olden days, they’ll be seating at full capacity, all 400 covers, cozy in the temperature-controlled indoors.
It’s not just high-end places feeling this desire among New Yorkers to leave their homes: At Veselka, in the East Village, last year’s prix fixe menu went for $39. “I’m getting a bunch of different emails,” says third-generation owner Jason Birchard.
But optimism is one thing; logistics are another. We’ve never had a Thanksgiving quite like this one. How many people are going out, exactly? How many turkeys do you order? Nobody is sure. But with the barrage of supply-chain issues, there is pressure to figure it out fast.
