There's no better place to give thanks than Gotham Bar and Grill, according to Michael Psilakis. On The Best Thing I Ever Ate, Michael gushes over Alfred Portale's legendary cuisine, especially the four-course meal that starts with seared foie gras and finishes with juicy, slow-roasted turkey.
For the best fruit dish, Aaron Sanchez instinctively thinks of the Miami favorite: Versailles. Locals and tourists alike visit from sunup to sundown for the authentic Cuban guava pastries (16,000 made weekly). Make it a Cuban dinner with sopa de pollo and green plantain chips known as mariquitas.
