NoVA, DC Restaurants Open On Thanksgiving 2018

WASHINGTON, DC — Thanksgiving is a holiday set aside for the sole purpose of family and friends gathering to share a meal together, and be thankful for the good moments in our lives. This year it falls on Thursday, Nov. 22. The trappings of the holiday — turkey, stuffing, pumpkin pie — are delicious, but they're can also be time consuming and labor intensive. Don't feel like cooking? Focus on spending time with those you hold dear and have dinner out instead — or have it delivered.
