New York City is stocked with wonderful grocery stores that are open on Thanksgiving Day for all of your last minute (and forgotten!) purchases.

Downtown: Whole Foods Tribeca
The Details:
- Whole Foods Tribeca – 270 Greenwich Street

Midtown East: Morton Williams
Midtown East Glenwood residents can rejoice in their local Morton Williams being open on Thanksgiving, as not only is it the go-to grocery store of the neighborhood, but has been a family-owned and operated food retailer in New York since 1946. No better way to feel good about grocery store purchases than knowing you are “shopping small” on Thanksgiving, right?
Morton Williams has all the makings of a traditional grocery store, so is perfect for any last minute needs. However, they also have a great International Aisle, which features grocery products from countries all over the world–India, England, Turkey, Japan…the list goes on! It’s the perfect place to stock up on something special for adding a bit of cultural flair to your Thanksgiving Day table.

- Open: 12am to 6pm
The Brittany – Luxury Upper East Side Apartments
There’s no place quite as versatile as the Upper East Side of Manhattan - especially in upscale apartments at The Brittany. With panoramic views of the Harlem River and East River, book a tour of this luxury building today!Upper East Side: Agata and Valentina
Residents of The Lucerne have perhaps the most convenient location for last minute Thanksgiving needs. Located on First Avenue and around the corner from the main entrance, is Agata and Valentina. Lucerne residents should be quite familiar with their high-quality products, and hand-made prepared foods. While not as large as some of the other stores on the list, their UES location carries over 7000 products, and they are sure to have what you’re looking for at the last minute. Plus you can run down and be back in the kitchen before your guests even notice you’ve left!

Upper West Side: Zabar’s
Glenwood residents living on the Westside know that Zabar’s is as much of a NYC institution as the Statue of Liberty herself. Perfect for picking up any last minute items, Zabar’s is also ideal for loading up on freshly baked bagels and lox for the morning after Thanksgiving–and if you ask anyone who has ever hosted a giant dinner party such as Thanksgiving, they’ll tell you that bringing items for breakfast the next morning is pretty much the perfect hostess gift.

Upper East Side Glenwood residents will notice that many of the specialty grocery stores they typically flock to are closed on Thanksgiving, but thankfully the tried and true Fairway is open during its normal hours for Thanksgiving Day needs.
