On Greenwich Street, just south of North Moore, two Thanksgiving menus face each other across the avenue. On the east side, Locanda Verde, in The Greenwich Hotel at 377 Greenwich, is serving a three-course prix fixe on Nov. 26. On the west side, the new Friedmans at 378 Greenwich, open since this fall, is serving a fixed-price turkey plate all day from 11 a.m. Thanksgiving Day in Tribeca comes down to one crosswalk.
The calendar leading up to Thursday matters more than that crosswalk. One week out, most of the holiday is already locked in. The pie order window closes Friday, Nov. 20. The farm turkeys come on Saturday. By the time the Greenmarket packs up at 2 p.m. on Nov. 21, a home-cooked Tribeca Thanksgiving is mostly assembled, and the remaining question is where to sit.
Friday, Nov. 20, Closes the Pie Window
Bubby's in Tribeca takes local Thanksgiving pie orders until Friday, Nov. 20, or until it sells out. This year's flavors:
- Apple Whiskey Crumble
- Plain Pumpkin
- Pecan Maple
- Double Crust Apple
- Pumpkin Praline
- Sour Cherry
Pickup is Tuesday, Nov. 24, or Wednesday, Nov. 25, and Bubby's isn't delivering pies this week. To order, you pick a pickup date and time on the restaurant's online store. That sets the pace for the week. The pie decision comes first, and collecting it comes one or two days before the meal.
Saturday, Nov. 21, Is Turkey Day on Greenwich Street
The Tribeca Greenmarket sets up year-round on Greenwich Street between Chambers and Duane, Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Saturday before Thanksgiving is when it does the most holiday work.
GrowNYC's 2026 Greenmarket Turkey Guide names two farms handing out turkeys at the Tribeca market on Saturday, 11/21. Abundance Acres Farm brings pasture-raised Sonoma Valley Classics. You have to preorder, either at the Tribeca market on Saturdays or directly with the farm, and the birds arrive fresh. Dipaola Turkey raises Broad Breasted White birds and takes orders online, and its pickup list includes Tribeca that same Saturday.
The same guide lists the sides on the market tables this time of year: Brussels sprouts, carrots, fennel, winter squash, potatoes, apples, pears, herbs, honey, maple syrup, butter and cream. It also mentions ready-made pies, spirits and hard cider made entirely from locally grown ingredients. So the turkey pickup on the 21st doubles as a full shopping trip, and it's the last Tribeca market before Thursday. Tribeca has no midweek Greenmarket.
Tuesday and Wednesday Belong to Other Markets
With Greenwich Street quiet until the following Saturday, the midweek runs head south and east. GrowNYC's Thanksgiving Week Greenmarkets Schedule 2026 lists the nearby options:
| Day | Market | Hours | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tue., Nov. 24 | City Hall Greenmarket | 8 a.m.–4 p.m. | Last day of the season |
| Tue., Nov. 24 | Bowling Green Greenmarket | 8 a.m.–3 p.m. | Last day of the season |
| Tue., Nov. 24 | Union Square, Friday producers | 8 a.m.–6 p.m. | Special market moved up from Friday |
| Wed., Nov. 25 | Union Square Greenmarket | 8 a.m.–6 p.m. | Regular Wednesday |
For Tribeca, the Tuesday column carries the most weight. City Hall and Bowling Green both close for the season that day, so Nov. 24 is the last chance this year to buy from farmers at either. That same Tuesday is the first Bubby's pie pickup day. A loop from City Hall back to Bubby's covers both errands in one trip.
Thursday's Tables Are Already Written
By Thanksgiving Day, every Tribeca option is a set menu. Here is how the four confirmed tables compare.
| Restaurant | Address | Thanksgiving hours | Price | Format |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Friedmans | 378 Greenwich St. | All day from 11 a.m. | Fixed price; call 646-476-3884 | Turkey plate |
| Bubby's | Tribeca | 12–8 p.m. | $125 adults, $70 under 10 | Traditional dinner, reservations required |
| Filé Gumbo Bar | 275 Church St. | Nov. 26 only | $100 per guest, $45 children 12 and under | Louisiana-style, family-style, prepaid |
| Locanda Verde | 377 Greenwich St. | 12–9 p.m. | $165 per person, $68 children 12 and under | Three-course prix fixe |
Friedmans starts earliest, at 11 a.m. It's the newest of the four. Tribeca Citizen reported it as the group's eighth location in the city. The family-owned company opened its first restaurant in Chelsea Market in 2009. The same review notes that everything on the menu can be served gluten free, though the kitchen itself is not gluten free, and that the room has booths, a bar along the full south wall and a raised, partly covered sidewalk café. The restaurant hasn't posted a price for the turkey plate, so call Friedmans for it.
Bubby's is the most tightly run. Dinner is served from noon to 8 p.m., reservations are required, and parties max out at eight guests. Separate reservations can't be combined into a bigger table. High chairs count toward the eight, and you need to ask for one in the reservation notes ahead of time. The restaurant won't serve breakfast or its regular menu that day. Its turkeys come from Pallman Farms in upstate New York, and the sides and pies are made from scratch. If the time you want is gone, Bubby's suggests setting a Notify alert on Resy for your date and party size.
Filé Gumbo Bar on Church Street serves turkey, ham and Louisiana sides family-style for the whole table. The $100 price is per guest with a two-person minimum, includes a glass of house red or white for adults, and is paid in advance. OpenTable takes parties of two to 10.
Locanda Verde runs the longest service, noon to 9 p.m., and has the highest posted price at $165 for three courses before drinks, tax and gratuity. Its OpenTable listing takes parties of two to six.
There's also a version of Thursday that goes back to the pickup schedule. Bubby's sells a takeout package for $200 that serves two. It comes cold with reheating instructions, can't be changed or substituted, and is picked up on Thanksgiving Day between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. For anyone who ordered pie, that's a second trip to Bubby's in three days.
Saturday, Nov. 28, Greenwich Street Reopens
GrowNYC's Thanksgiving week schedule puts every Greenmarket location back on its regular schedule Saturday, Nov. 28. That puts the Tribeca Greenmarket back on Greenwich between Chambers and Duane at 8 a.m. that morning, a week after the turkey pickup. GrowNYC suggests checking each market's page for which farmers will be there.
Here is the full week in order.
- Fri., Nov. 20: Bubby's pie orders close, or earlier if pies sell out.
- Sat., Nov. 21: Abundance Acres and Dipaola turkey pickup at the Tribeca Greenmarket, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
- Tue., Nov. 24: City Hall and Bowling Green Greenmarkets close for the season. Bubby's pie pickup begins.
- Wed., Nov. 25: Last Bubby's pie pickup. Union Square Greenmarket is open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
- Thu., Nov. 26: Bubby's takeout pickup from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friedmans serves from 11 a.m., Bubby's and Locanda Verde from noon, and Filé Gumbo Bar serves its family-style meal that day.
- Sat., Nov. 28: Tribeca Greenmarket reopens on its regular schedule.
The next date on the neighborhood calendar comes a week after that. Friends of Washington Market Park has scheduled its Christmas Party for Saturday, Dec. 5, with Santa photos and pedicab rides. Admission is free, no reservation is needed, and the start time hasn't been set yet.
