The Vanderbilt | MILKimchi | TT Thanksgiving Menu
Don't panic: Although past holidays may have precipitated stress-induced night terrors and heavy drinking, this year it can be different. We've compiled the best tips from November to help you relax and even--dare we say it--enjoy the coming days of celebrating. Here's your cheat sheet:
• Not sure what to drink for the big meal? The smoky, appley flavors of the Chase & Shade from the Vanderbilt, Brooklyn's latest cocktail destination, will put you in the proper mood for autumn.
• Add bold, fermented Korean flavors to the holiday canvas with MILKimchi, our favorite new West Coast import. We'll be trying the Spicy Kimchi Bloody Mary recipe to take that day-after edge off.
• In the weekend that follows Thanksgiving, the last thing anyone wants to do is cook. Escort your house full of relatives to East Village favorite The Redhead for its new brunch offerings or pick up a few of Saltie's expert sandwiches to keep hunger at bay before fighting Black Friday crowds.
• If you've been procrastinating on your Thanksgiving menu, let us bail you out: The Tasting Table print-and-stain recipe guide that has all the bases--turkey, gravy, sides and dessert--deliciously covered.
