If you don't want the hassle or aggravation of cooking your own Thanksgiving feast this year, there are several local restaurants that will do all the work for you.

Dutchess Tourism posted a list of local restaurants that will be opening their doors on Thanksgiving and handling all of the cooking and (most importantly) all of the cleaning up afterwards.

If you're thinking of taking the easy way out this year, here are a few of the locations in Dutchess County that will be serving Thanksgiving dinner.
