Can you believe it’s November already?! I don’t know about you, but I still feel stuck in March. Whether we believe it or not, the holiday season is upon us and after the year we’ve had, I can tell this Thanksgiving is going to be even more special than ever.
Although I’m not American, I’m very familiar with the holiday and as the founder of Eat Out Madrid, the conversations have started to happen as people get ready to celebrate. So I thought I’d put together a one-stop shop to help you decide where to enjoy some great food without the stress of searching yourself. But be quick—reservations are filling up!
Disclaimer: What you’re about to read may (and probably will) make you very hungry, so make sure you’ve eaten beforehand to avoid stomach rumbling…
