We all picture a perfect Norman Rockwellesque Thanksgiving. But when the turkey refuses to cook, and everyone’s favorite uncle gets into the wine a little too early, Patch has some back-up options for our readers.

Grano Emporio

So it’s not your traditional Thanksgiving fare. But it’s tough to go wrong with authentic Italian. The Hampden restaurant, located at 3547 Chestnut Ave., will be open from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday.

Call: 443-438-7521 for more information.

India Tandoor

Who’s to say you can’t have some naan and lamb kebabs before watching football and listening to your cousins bicker? The restaurant will be open from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m.

Call: 410-468-0969 for more information.

Fraizer’s on the Avenue

Fraizer’s will be opening at 5 p.m. to offer you a place to drink after spending the day with your family. However, you better eat up first because its kitchen will be closed. 

Call: 410-662-4914 for more information.
