Folks, Thanksgiving is rapidly approaching, which means whether you like it or not, plans need to be made. While some of us have time-honored traditions of going over the river and through the woods to grandmothers house, others choose the mess-free approach – dining out. For Thanksgiving at the beach, there are a number of options. It may be the dawn of the off-season in Ocean City, but there are plenty of delicious Thanksgiving menus being offered throughout town this year, from prix-fixe three course meals to Thanksgiving buffets. Avoid the stress and mess this year by letting one of your favorite area-restaurants do all the work for you…
