Thanksgiving without turkey? It's no crime. Better yet, how about Thanksgiving without cooking? If either sounds good, check out this list of Baltimore restaurants open on Thanksgiving.
All these Baltimore-area restaurants serve turkey, but many also offer special menus or sumptuous buffets. At some you can order from the regular menus, which include German, Indian and Italian fare.
For most reservations are a must. Prices do not include alcohol, tax or gratuity.
