For those on the ball who have already scored a prime seat to dine out (or get carryout) for Thanksgiving, this holiday guide is not for you.

But for all those procrastinators who might have last-minute guests coming to town and don’t want to cook — or have simply forgotten to book something until now — here are some spots to lock down ASAP.
