The worst part about Thanksgiving is that it only comes once a year. But Doretta Taverna and Raw Bar believes in second chances (and second helpings), so all throughout Thanksgiving week they’re offering a family-style, prix-fixe Friendsgiving feast. Known for inventive takes on Greek classics, chef Brendan Pelley will surely include a healthy mix of tradition and innovation – just like you, celebrating Turkey Day on a Tuesday night with your pals instead of Thursday afternoon with Aunt Marge. Peep at their menu below, which is $65 per person. To make a reservation, call 617.422.0008.
