Thanksgiving is when friends and family gather and reflect on why they are thankful, then eat everything they see.

One of the main reasons to be thankful is for not having to cook, and clean up after, as fortunately, some downtown Los Angeles restaurants are ready to do it all for you on Thursday, November  27.

From the Arts District to the Historic Core, and South Park to Bunker Hill, here are a variety of price points and menu options that are available for carrying out plus a bonus place at the last page!

1. Nick & Stef’s Steakhouse

On 364 days of the year, Nick & Stef’s Steakhouse cuts beef. On Thanksgiving, the Bunker Hill destination worships the bird. The restaurant is serving hand-carved Diestel turkey as part of a three-course meal. The $52 prix-fixe meal starts with a roasted squash soup or root vegetables. Sides include brioche and chestnut stuffing, mashed potatoes, candied butternut squash and creamed Swiss chard. At dessert you can choose from pumpkin pie with dried fruit compote and roasted griottes (dark French cherries) with pistachio Chantilly and basil. The sweetest addition: Kids 10 and under dine for only $19.

At 330 S. Hope St., (213) 680-0330 or nickandstefs.com.
