Article By Mary Lou Baker

Holidays bring many tourists to Maryland’s capital city, as well as many “home-comers” who travel from far and wide to celebrate here with their family and friends. While most of the good times will take place around the dining room table, there are folks who depend on local restaurants to provide a traditional Thanksgiving feast. We are pleased to report on some prime local spots that are happy to serve you turkey and all the trimmings.

Blackwall Hitch (600 Sixth Street, Eastport), the popular newcomer to the Annapolis restaurant scene, invites you to celebrate its first Thanksgiving with a special buffet. Celebrity Executive Chef Zachary Pope (creds include Red Sage and Restaurant Vidalia) heads the kitchen and is offering a menu that kicks off with oysters and shrimp and includes three carving stations (turkey breast, top round of beef, rosemary garlic pork loin) and wild caught salmon with pomegranate glaze. Among the restaurant’s draws is its well-stocked and convivial brass-topped oyster bar at the rear of the main dining room next to a massive communal dining table and private areas that are ideal for festive group dinners.
