Thanksgiving - eating out?
We'll have a small group for thanksgiving this year (7 or 8) and for a number of reasons it's looking like it's better to eat out rather than cook a big meal ourselves. Has anyone gone out on Thanksgiving around here? Are most places open? Please recommend some ideas for us! (we're in the Mason/West Chester area).
TIA!

Re: Thanksgiving - eating out?
I am not a great person for suggestions - however, if you watch Polly Campbell's blog on Cincinnati.com she typically will announce what is open and where to eat. I have included the link below.
