Angelinos, if slaving over a hot oven to make a Thanksgiving feast at home isn’t your idea of a festive holiday, don’t worry. No one needs to tell you there are hundreds of places to dine out on Thanksgiving Day or pick up a precooked meal that tastes like it’s straight out of Mom’s kitchen (or maybe even better).
We rounded up a few of them in a blog post this time last year. As expected, some are no longer around, and new ones have popped to take their place. Here are a few that are still going strong, plus new additions to the scene, as well as some classics that just seem to get more popular with time.
If you’re planning to dine in or carry out this Thanksgiving, be sure to call ahead to make a reservation or place your order. The earlier you plan, the sooner you’ll be chowing down.

There’s nothing quite like piloting a Rolls-Royce, and nothing quite like stepping out of one either. The British maker’s newest model, the Wraith, makes no excuses for its luxurious largesse. This vehicle is as much about making a grand entrance at a Buckhead valet as it is about taking a glorious drive.
So, full steam ahead, and once you set a course, the Wraith plows forward with a take-no-prisoners authority. This two-door fastback boasts a German-built twin-turbocharged V12 engine that produces an astonishing 624 horsepower and 590 lb.-ft. of torque. Mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission, the Wraith surges from 0 to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds, a run that imparts a sense of effortless power to whomever assumes the wheel. The giddyup isn’t blazing—this is Rolls-Royce after all—but the Wraith is one of the most performance-forward autos the Goodwood factory has yet produced. An innovative Satellite Aided Transmission uses GPS data to anticipate gear selections based on upcoming terrain, creating an unmatched level of smoothness that makes shifts barely perceptible.
