Incredibly, Prisinzano has made a tradition of hosting anyone celebrating Thanksgiving in NYC alone by offering a free four-course dinner at all of his restaurants, no questions asked.

Frank Prisinzano is the celebrated chef behind Lil Frankie’s, Frank, Supper and Daddies. Incredibly, Prisinzano has made a tradition of hosting anyone celebrating Thanksgiving in NYC alone by offering a free four-course dinner at all of his restaurants, no questions asked.

Things like this make me love this city, because with 8.5 million residents there no reason to have Thanksgiving dinner in NYC alone. The only request is that you tip the staff.
