Turkey tip from Pizza a Casa mastermind (and longtime Chinatown resident) Mark Bello: let the Chinese place on the corner prepare your bird Peking-style!

Saxelby Cheesemongers in the Essex Street Market is making it easy. If the pressure of choosing your own holiday cheeses is too much to take, they have the perfect solution – the Turkey Day Triumvirate. You get: "Pleasant Ridge Reserve, a nutty and sweet raw cows' milk cheese, Mont
St. Francis, a surprisingly fruity and gamey goat cheese, and Bayley
Hazen Blue, that classic, fudgy blue that's sure to leave everyone
clamoring for more." Cost $30. 

Babycakes isn't accepting any more Thanksgiving orders but they promise they're "baking their hearts out" to accommodate walk-ins. Babycakes will be open tonight until 10, and tomorrow until all the goodies are sold-out.
