Thanksgiving is all about spending time with loved ones, so instead of being cooped up in the kitchen on the holiday, why not leave the cooking to the professionals? Our real estate agents recommend leaving the cooking (and cleanup!) to one of these top Long Island restaurants serving Thanksgiving dinner.
