Where Does Park Slope's Thanksgiving Week Still Have Room?

"UPDATE: Wednesday, 11/25 is SOLD OUT." That's the top line of Four & Twenty Blackbirds' Thanksgiving 2026 menu, and the same page says local delivery for Thanksgiving week is gone too. That's the pie shop. The Prospect Park Track Club's Turkey Trot sold every early-bird and regular bib long before November, and only charity bibs are left.

The busiest stretch this year is Wednesday afternoon, when everyone wants to pick up the turkey, the pie and the sides at once. The other days still have room. Saturday the 21st at Grand Army Plaza, Sunday through Tuesday at the shops, and a busy Thursday morning that wraps up around 10:40 are when the week still works. Here's how it lays out as of mid-November, starting with the order deadline that's still open.

Tomorrow is WINNER's cutoff

WINNER's Thanksgiving 2026 menu takes orders through Friday, November 20. Pickups run from Saturday, November 21 through Wednesday, and deliveries go out Monday through Wednesday, November 23 to 25. The small feast is portioned for two. It comes with half a roasted split turkey breast, a pint of confit leg meat, gravy, sourdough stuffing, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, Brussels sprouts, cranberry sauce, four brioche rolls and two slices of pie. It costs $185 without the pie or $195 with it. The eight-person feast is $650, or $695 with pie. If you'd rather roast your own, uncooked Broad-Breasted White turkeys run from $84 for 10 to 12 pounds up to $138 for 18 to 20 pounds.

The ordering window closes tomorrow, but pickup runs from the weekend through the middle of next week, so you have room to choose your day. Here's how WINNER compares with the other nearby options:

Only two places on the table hand anything over on Thursday itself, and neither one delivers that day.

Saturday the 21st does the most work

The Grand Army Plaza Greenmarket keeps its usual year-round Saturday hours, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., at Prospect Park West and Flatbush Avenue. The Saturday before Thanksgiving is also turkey day there. In GrowNYC's 2026 Greenmarket Turkey Guide, Grand Army Plaza on Saturday, November 21 is the pickup spot for Dipaola Turkey's online preorders, and Dipaola also sells turkey parts and sausage. Feisty Acres Farm doesn't take preorders. It's bringing a limited number of Broad Breasted White turkeys to sell at the market that same Saturday, along with turkey parts, whole roasting chickens, quail and Muscovy duck.

Grand Army Plaza isn't one of the markets the guide lists for a Wednesday-before-Thanksgiving pickup. The farms that added Tuesday and Wednesday dates are sending people to Union Square and 97th Street in Manhattan. For Park Slope, Saturday is the farm-turkey day. The same guide says the markets will also have the rest of the meal: Brussels sprouts, winter squash, potatoes, apples, pears, herbs, maple syrup, butter, cream and premade pies.

WINNER's pickups start the same day. One walk up Seventh Avenue and over to the Plaza can take care of the bird and the bakery order before the week gets busy.

Sunday through Tuesday, the quiet middle

Four & Twenty Blackbirds' Thanksgiving pies are on sale from November 22 through 26. Sunday the 22nd runs 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Monday and Tuesday run 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. The 10-inch pies are $46 each in four flavors: Salted Caramel Apple, Brown Butter Pumpkin, Salty Honey and Bittersweet Chocolate Pecan. With Wednesday and delivery already gone, it's pickup only at the Gowanus shop on Third Avenue.

Pies 'n' Thighs takes orders for pickup or delivery from Williamsburg or Park Slope. According to RoamRecs' 2026 Thanksgiving takeout guide, whole pies are $45. If turkey isn't the main event at your table, the same guide lists a $300 fried chicken package that serves 15 to 20, with 40 pieces of chicken, two sides and 20 biscuits. RoamRecs puts the Park Slope pickup on Flatbush Avenue and says holiday orders run through November 25.

If you have a Turkey Trot bib, this stretch is also your packet pickup window. Pickup is at Brooklyn Running Company, 480 Bergen St.

• Sunday, Nov. 22: noon to 4:30 p.m.
• Tuesday, Nov. 24: 2 to 6:30 p.m.
• Wednesday, Nov. 25: 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The club says the slots end right on time, "no exceptions." One person can pick up packets for several runners, so a household can send one person. Thanksgiving-morning pickup exists, but the club strongly recommends getting your packet early at Brooklyn Running Company.

Thursday morning runs on the race schedule

Thanksgiving morning in Prospect Park belongs to the 24th annual Turkey Trot: Race for Reconciliation 5-Miler. All charity bib proceeds go to the American Indian Community House, the club's community partner for the fifth year. The club counts more than 2,500 runners, volunteers and spectators. Here's how the morning goes around the neighborhood:

1. 7 a.m. WINNER Bakery at 367 7th Ave. lists Wednesday-through-Sunday hours of 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. and describes itself as "open 365 days a year." It's takeout only, with a little outdoor seating.
2. 7:15 to 8:30 a.m. Race-day bib pickup and bag drop at the LeFrak Center at Lakeside, 171 East Drive.
3. 8 a.m. Four & Twenty Blackbirds opens for Thanksgiving, closing at 3 p.m.
4. 8:15 a.m. Wave 1 starts on Center Drive. Waves close five minutes after their start.
5. 9 a.m. Wave 2 starts. BKLYN Larder's Thanksgiving pickup at 228 Flatbush Ave. opens and runs until 2 p.m.
6. 10:40 a.m. The course closes "to relieve our volunteers and open up the park." Runners finish at Harry's Wall, and finishers get bagels, hot chocolate and apples at Lakeside.

If you run the loop on Thanksgiving morning anyway, the club's FAQ spells out the rules:

"Prospect Park is a public space so you're welcome to run; however, please do not run on the racecourse or use course water stations or post-race refreshments, as that is reserved for registered runners."

If you'd still like to race, $100 charity bibs plus fees were available as of mid-November. There's no waitlist, no transfers, no refunds and no deferrals. If you miss it, the club points runners to its February race, the Cherry Tree 10-Miler and Relay.

One stop is closed all day. The Park Slope Food Coop's 2026 modified hours list Thursday, November 26 as closed. Do the last cream-and-butter run by Wednesday.

The Saturday after

The pace drops on November 28. The Greenmarket is back at Grand Army Plaza on its normal Saturday schedule. A few blocks away, the Old Stone House in Washington Park has two wreath workshops with Sam Lewis and its garden team, one from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and one from 2 to 4 p.m., at $65.87 a seat.

The next fixed date on the calendar is December 5. The Brooklyn Pop-Up and Old Stone House Holiday Artisans Bazaar runs 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in and around Washington Park, the 4th Street Plaza and Fifth Avenue between 3rd and 4th Streets. Sunday, December 6 is the extreme-weather backup date. On the way, Fifth Avenue has a few spots that opened this fall, including Caputo Bagels at 81 Fifth Ave. and Sesilya's Georgian bakery at 254 Fifth Ave.
