With Thanksgiving one week away, we’re bringing you some hot tips to keep everyone happy and fed ahead of the holidays.

We’ve also got advice on which local spots to go to to pick up  Thanksgiving sides, desserts, and beverages, plus dining out options.

P.S. Check out newsletter editor Rob Thomas’s list of 13 spots to get Thanksgiving dinner.
