Where would you recommend for them to go out in Pittsburgh for Thanksgiving dinner?

They will ask which one you want when you call and if you make an earlier res they will remind you that your table will be re-seated after 2 hours. $39 each, kinda pricey but quality food. There are a number of other places that will be open, but not too terribly many. The Post-Gazette should be publishing a list, perhaps as soon as tomorrow. Hotel restaurants are usually open, and there are a few others consistently open. Wherever they decide, make sure to have them make a reservation ASAP to have best choice of times. This is LAST YEAR'S P-G list: http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/08318/927306-242.stm Le Pommier, McCormick & Schmick's and UUBU 6 are among places that have been typically open (but we don't have an updated list for this year, keep in mind) and would have a non-buffet menu and generally also choices that are not typical Thanksgiving fare. Grand Concourse is an interesting setting but expect a ZOO there at the buffet, always popular for T-day. Other places open are mostly those connected to hotels. (Interesting, links below are automatic for things it knows, neat.)

They love it but I have never been there for Thanksgiving. It is a wonderful restaurant. http://www.davio.com/ Thu Nov 05 05:13:44 -0800 2009 5145345 123090 chinacat1969 2 5157558 Have to say, I think that's the first mention I've ever seen of this place, Thanksgiving or otherwise. Interesting, thanks. Thu Nov 05 05:52:33 -0800 2009 5157514 40162 CrazyOne
