It’s not as if anyone needs a reason to eat more food on Thanksgiving, but since it overlaps with the beginning of Hanukkah this year, that’s exactly what’s going to happen. Gorging oneself, though, doesn’t necessarily mean more cooking: New York restaurants are happy to cater to this once-every-70,000-years holiday overlap. With that in mind, Grub Street has you covered: We’ve rounded up the best takeout options from all over the city to ensure maximum gluttony with minimal effort — the best of both worlds. (Note that not all picks adhere to Jewish dietary laws, so mix-and-match based on what you’re looking for!*)
