Where to Order Thanksgiving Dinner and Catering in NYC? (New York: apartment, home)

[leoliu]

It is the bird month and time to plan for the big stuffing dinner on Nov 24th. I have always mooched off friends in the past and am in the mood of giving back this year, but I am not so fond of patting and rubbing a big bird in my kitchen. What is your favorite place to pick up a pre-cooked, nicely flavored bird in NYC or via mail delivery? The link below offers too many options and I wanted to hear from those who might have tried any of them. TIA...

Not on the list, but I ordered a turkey from Popeyes the other year. I don't recommend it at all, though some people can't seem to get enough of it.

Whole Foods also does a turkey, which I've heard good things about.

I am dubious of Popeye’s turkey as well…I don’t want to risk my reputation of being a great host…

I am Thankful for home cooked meals on this very special day.
I am thankful for a large family to share the greatest American Tradition.
I am thankful for Thanksgiving Day and the greatest country on this planet.

Popeyes cajun turkey isn't good to me..
Boston market caters, and its surprisingly good
Those sweet potatoes? Watch out!

This sounds like the kind of question that New York magazine and the NYT would cover every year or two.

I second Boston Market. About 8 years ago my mother took a Thanksgiving vacation so we decided to cater at my father’s apartment. I ordered a huge package from Boston Market. It was very good. I wouldn’t be against using them again if the need arose.
