Thanksgiving Options
One option for a no-mess but tasty Thanksgiving is to order from Art of Eating in Amagansett, where Cheryl Stair, the chef, has a lineup of more than 40 items to choose from. The fresh freerange turkeys offered are from LudlowFarms in Mecox, pies are all-natural and made with local fruits, and everything is prepared by hand in small batches. Orders can be placed through tomorrow, by phone or by email to [email protected], for pickup by 10:30 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day. Minimum purchase amount is $600.
Orders for pies and cheese platters by Lucy’s Whey can be placed through Monday, for pickup by Wednesday, at the Amagansett Farmers Market. The market, which will remain open until Dec. 20, also has a variety of fall vegetables, fresh cranberries, and apples from the Milk Pail in Water Mill.
Another choice is Thanksgiving dinner out, for example at the American Hotel in Sag Harbor. Service will begin at 1 p.m. next Thursday, with the last seating at 8:30 p.m. Along with the traditional turkey entrée, diners may choose Peconic Bay scallops, roast Scottish salmon, pasta primavera, or dry aged sirloin steak. Reservations can be made with the hotel.
Boxing Match
Indian Wells Tavern in Amagansett will offer drink specials during the Miguel Cotto vs. Canelo Alvarez boxing match on Saturday, which starts at 10 p.m. The match will be shown on five flat-screen TVs in the bar. Admission is $25.
Fall at Winston’s
Winston’s Bar and Grill in East Hampton, now serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner Wednesday through Sunday, has a three-course prix fixe available each day for $24, beginning at 5 p.m. The menu changes weekly. During happy hour, from 5 to 7, margaritas are two for one, and on Thursday nights during those hours, Red Stripe draft beer comes with a plate of wings, served any style, for $10. Also every Thursday, between 5 and 6 p.m., one table of diners, randomly selected, will get a surprise, such as a complimentary bottle of wine, dessert, or chef’s special.
