"The city’s iconic hofbrau and bar on the corner of Geary and Van Ness has been chugging along since the 1940s. This place is a time capsule (it’s a windowless spot full of every tchotchke under the sun), and one that’s made serving Thanksgiving dinner a time-honored tradition. Like every year, the $32 meal includes ham or turkey, a choice of two sides (like classic mashed potatoes, candied yams, or stuffing), bread and butter, and pumpkin pie. No reservations are needed, so just show up any time after they open at 11am. " - ricky rodriguez
