Thanksgiving in Melrose: Best Restaurants?

Gobble gobble.

Turkey Day is just around the corner, and sure, you could spend hours in the kitchen whipping up gravy, stuffing and yams. Or you could have someone else do the cooking for you.

For next week's Patch Picks, we want to know: What are the best Melrose restaurants where you can celebrate Thanksgiving? (Nearby is OK, too.)

Alternatively, instead of your pick of where to eat out, what are the best places to pick up prepared foods—cakes, chicken pies, etc.—for your Thanksgiving Day dinner?

Tell us your picks in the comments below and what your favorite items is on the menu (either for dining in or pick up) and we'll compile them into next week's Patch Picks column on Thursday.
