November is here. And you know what that means? The official start to the holiday season, or as we like to refer to it, the start of winter weight gain season.

This month’s restaurants are introducing new menus and cocktails, as well as supporting different charities. Here are 37 other places to eat and drink, along with some of the new things you should try this month.

We’ve noted the restaurants that will be serving a Thanksgiving feast, but please check to see which ones will be open that day before deciding to forgo Aunt Debbie’s dry meatloaf. (If prices are not listed, they are not yet available.)
