It’s nearly time to sit down and tuck into a big helping of delicious tryptophan with a side of family tension. In other words, Thanksgiving dinner! What will you do after the turkey trauma and family drama has passed? Grub Street will be taking a four-day snooze, but we leave you with this useful jumble of drink specials, food truck sighting and nacho crawling to help get you through the long weekend. We’ll see you back here Monday morning. Read on for details.

• The POPE will be open on Thanksgiving night, starting at 7 p.m., serving a limited holiday menu and one bazillion craft beers to help wash away the turkey trauma and family drama. [POPE]
