NYC Chinatown Thanksgiving Guide (2021)

Thanksgiving (感恩節) is on November 25th this year. Many Chinese-American families embrace their dual cultures by incorporating traditions of both countries into their Thanksgiving celebrations.

For many families, a roasted turkey is an integral part of their Thanksgiving meal. Turkey, known as 火雞 or “fire chicken” in Chinese, is roasted like a traditional Thanksgiving turkey but seasoned and basted with Chinese spices and seasonings. While many families choose to make their own, many restaurants in Chinatown offer their version of this classic Thanksgiving dish.
