Tracy Schuhmacher Rochester Democrat and Chronicle Published 10:00 PM EST Nov 5, 2018 Planning to dine out for Thanksgiving? You are far from unusual.

Of those, 31 percent said the restaurant they chose was one that they traditionally go to on Thanksgiving. With two popular Thanksgiving restaurants closing their doors since last year, some folks are going to have to find a new tradition.
