Question: Hi, my boyfriend and I are arriving in NYC on the evening of the 26th Nov. We are staying not too far from Times Square. Do you recommend that we have dinner booked for that night- it being Thanksgiving and can you recommend any restaurants that would be open that night. Thanks

Answer: Just like any other city, reserving a table in advance for dinner in Manhattan is always a good idea especially for special occassions such as Thanksgiving. A lot of New York restaurants have signed up to using guest management software and websites that facilitate restaurant reservations online. OpenTable.com is proving to be very popular with hundreds of restaurateurs in Manhattan. However, it should be noted that they do not have all restaurants and maybe you will need to reserve direct.

As for recommendations, we have a whole list of restaurants we recommend on the New York restaurants section of VisitNewYork.ie. Since it is a special occassion such as Thanksgiving, I would recommend a restaurant with a view and the first that springs to mind is The River Cafe which offers superb food and refined service with breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline and N.Y. Harbor. An alternative option would be the stunning Times Square views from New York’s only revolving rooftop restaurant called The View on 45th St & Broadway.  If your partner enjoys a steak I would recommend New York’s original and best steakhouse in Midtown (36th St 7 Broadway) called Keen’s Steakhouse.

Bon appetit!
