For those whose Thanksgiving plans don’t include trussing and roasting a turkey at home, there is the following list, by no means exhaustive, of places where one could eat or get takeout for the holiday next week.

Pierre’s restaurant in Bridgehampton will serve an a la carte Thanksgiving dinner all day next Thursday — turkey along with lobster, lamb, and burgers. Child-sized portions will be available.

The market at Pierre’s will have 8-to-15-pound turkeys available, along with all the trimmings, including organic chicken and pork stuffing with chestnuts and Alsatian spice bread, glazed sweet potatoes, braised Brussels sprouts, and cranberry dressing. There will also be desserts, such as chocolate cakes and pumpkin and pecan tarts. Orders should be placed as early as possible. The menus can be seen online at pierresbridgehampton.com.

At the 1770 House in East Hampton, Michael Rozzi, the chef, will prepare a three-course Thanksgiving meal, and Michael Cohen, the wine director, will select wines to be paired with it. The meal will cost $95 per person, plus tax and gratuity; two courses for kids 12 and under will be offered for $40. Along with turkey, the entree choices will include maple-soy cured pork chops, a vegetarian truffle risotto, seared sea scallops, and New York strip steak.

South Fork and Spoon catering will not only prepare the food for a fuss-free Thanksgiving dinner at home, but will set the table, select wine and alcohol, and decorate with flower arrangements. The menu features dishes made with local and organic ingredients, and includes not only entrees and side dishes but also breakfast and hors d’oeuvres, including a Feast and Football platter with things to nosh on while watching the game. Deliveries will be made without additional charge from Southampton to East Hampton, and to Montauk for a fee. Additional information is available at southforkandspoon.com.

Also taking orders for Thanksgiving is Smokin’ Wolf BBQ in East Hampton. Smokin’ Wolf also has Sunday football specials on orders of wings, sliders, nachos, and grilled buffalo chicken salad to feed a crowd, and offers a free quesadilla with every three purchased. 

Art of Eating in Amagansett (Hamptonsartofeating.com) will accept holiday takeout orders through tomorrow for pickup by 10:30 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day; a minimum purchase of $600 is required. Cheryl Stair, the executive chef, has designed a menu of more than 40 items, based on organic and local ingredients, to create a five-course meal, or portions thereof. The fresh, free-range turkeys she serves are raised in Bridgehampton at Ludlow Farms. Orders may be placed by phone or emailed to [email protected].

At the Montauk Yacht Club, there will be a Thanksgiving Day buffet from noon to 6 p.m. for $32.95.

Bridgehampton’s Topping Rose House restaurant will center its Thanksgiving menu on organic turkey with traditional holiday side dishes. Reservations are being taken for holiday meals from 1 to 6 p.m. next Thursday, at $125 per person, plus tax and gratuity, or $55 for children 10 and under.

Also in Bridgehampton, Fresh Hamptons restaurant will serve Thanksgiving dinner from noon to 6 p.m., with holiday specials offered in addition to the regular dinner menu.

At the Living Room in East Hampton, a four-course feast will be served from 1 to 8 p.m. for $89 per person, excluding tax and tip, or half that for kids 12 and under.

New at E.N.E.

East by Northeast in Montauk has a new executive chef. Jeremy Blutstein, who was nominated for a James Beard award and has a decade of experience, was previously chef at the Crow’s Nest, also in Montauk. He is revamping the restaurant’s menu, and the new culinary lineup, described as “Asian flair meets farm-to-table,” will be unveiled tomorrow.

E.N.E. has a $24 prix fixe offered Sunday through Tuesday nights and until 6:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and serves half-price sushi and bar appetizers during happy hour from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday through Monday, and all night on Tuesdays.
