Whether you are the Griswalds or the Rockwells, Thanksgiving with family and friends is a time of the year to appreciate all that you have. And if you are reading this, there is a very high probability that you have something to be very thankful for in your life. At Galavante, we are thankful for this first year of being able to pursue our passions of travel, writing and entertaining our members. Above all, we are grateful for you, and for all your feedback and support.

At Galavante’s Thanksgiving, we opt for the long cocktail hour, starting with some bubbly, a puzzle for the family and for those Type As, a friendly chess tournament while the smell of herb roasted turkey wafts through the air. We graze throughout the afternoon on seafood-which is traditional Thanksgiving fare from the very first dinner, and on the crowd pleasing King Crab Dip, which we’ve been told is the highlight of our gorgeous feast. We’ve put together a full menu of our favorite dishes, and share with you this Thanksgiving select recipes.
