Dine out for Thanksgiving in Norwich, but make reservations now
Want the turkey and pie without spending Thanksgiving morning peeling potatoes and watching the oven? Restaurants in and around Norwich are offering another option this year, with Thanksgiving dinners ranging from expansive buffets to traditional sit-down meals. Turkey and stuffing are on the menu, of course, but diners can also find prime rib, seafood, lamb and plenty of desserts. Thanksgiving is Thursday, Nov. 26, and reservations are required at some restaurants. With families competing for popular lunch and dinner times, waiting until the last minute could mean fewer choices. If dining out sounds better than cooking and cleaning this Thanksgiving, here’s where to start making your plans now. The Spa at Norwich Inn Let someone else handle the turkey and the dishes this Thanksgiving. The Spa at Norwich Inn, 607 W.
