See our updated post for Thanksgiving in 2015!!
Spending Thanksgiving in Key West? Not to worry, there are lots of dining options where you can get your traditional turkey spread or an untraditional dining option like seafood. Most businesses stay open for the holidays, but some of the smaller family run businesses will be closing for Thanksgiving. These include two of my favorites, Chico’s Cantina and Roostica. But there are many other options to choose from! As local restaurants release their Thanksgiving plans, I will be updating this post with new information.
