Go out on the town on turkey day

Here’s wishing you the best Thanksgiving ever. For some, that means going out to eat. For others, that means escaping for a cup of coffee with your favorite uncle. And there are those who will probably need a cocktail after the big meal.

If you prefer to get out of the house on Thanksgiving, here’s a list of Asheville eateries and watering holes that will open their doors on the holiday. If you go out, though, be sure to call ahead; some restaurants are observing special hours.

Did we leave someone out? Leave a comment and let us know or send an email to food@mountainx.com. We’ll continue to update the list until the end of the day on Thanksgiving eve.
