Back Forty

A farm-to-table locavore Thanksgiving dinner may not be what you’re used to at home because it’s so much better.  Peter Hoffman crafts a locally sourced, holiday menu at both Back Forty outposts where his large-format, laidback dinner is perfect for a group of family and friends.  The menus vary depending on location, but both offer up a three-course meal, served family-style.  For the first course, you’ll be enjoying either a rich Autumn Vegetable Minestrone with ricotta dumplings, or Chicken Liver Mousse with house pickles.  Second course includes Pumpkin Ravioli, Grass Fed Steak, Salmon, or Turkey Breast.  And for dessert, plan on enjoying a slice of Pumpkin Cheesecake, Apple Pie, or Pecan Tart.

3-course family style, $60/person (East Village) $65/person (SoHo), 2pm – 8pm
