Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and if you’re in Livonia, Michigan, or the surrounding areas, you’re in for a treat. This guide will help you make the most of your holiday, whether you’re looking for a traditional turkey dinner, a fun run, or a spectacular parade. Let’s dive into the festivities!
Deck the Halls With Boughs of… Flowers?
First stop: MERRI-CRAFT FLORIST in Livonia. They’re offering custom Thanksgiving floral arrangements that make your table look fancier than a turkey in a tuxedo. Their “Thanksgiving Florals Custom Arrangement” starts at $55 and goes up to $75. It’s a great way to say “thanks” without having to say it (perfect for those who get tongue-tied after too much stuffing).
Gobble Up Some Pre-Made Goodness
Next, let’s talk turkey, sides, and desserts. Zerbo’s Market has got your back with its Thanksgiving Holiday Pre-Orders. You can pick up your feast on November 26 and 27 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. It’s like having your chef, minus the fancy hat and the attitude.
Parade Your Way to Detroit
Hold onto your drumsticks because we’re heading to Detroit (about 20 miles east of Livonia) for America’s Thanksgiving Parade. Mark your calendars for November 28, 2024. It’s the 98th parade, which means it’s older than sliced bread (literally). Expect colorful floats, giant balloons, and marching bands that’ll make you want to bust a move right there on Woodward Avenue.
Fancy Feast at Fleming’s
If cooking isn’t your thing (no judgment here), Fleming’s Steakhouse has got you covered. They’re offering a Thanksgiving 3-course meal on November 28. Starting at $62 per person, you can choose between herb-roasted turkey, filet mignon, or prime bone-in ribeye. They even have a kids’ menu for $31 because we all know little Timmy won’t touch anything that isn’t chicken nuggets.
Bravo for the Italian-Style Thanksgiving
Last but not least, Bravo! Italian Kitchen in Livonia serves up a Thanksgiving feast with an Italian twist. They’re open on Thanksgiving Day, offering a traditional turkey dinner alongside their regular Italian favorites. It’s like having Thanksgiving in Rome, minus the jet lag and the need to learn Italian. For those who prefer to feast at home, Bravo! also offers Thanksgiving meals to go. You can get individual meals for $39.99, family-style for $120 (feeds 4-5), or go big with catering for $238 (feeds 8-10). They’re available for pickup from November 25 through Thanksgiving Day.
Mix and Match Your Perfect Thanksgiving
The best part about all these options? You can mix and match to create your perfect Thanksgiving. Maybe you’ll get your main course from Zerbo’s, some sides from Boston Market, and treat yourself to dessert from Bravo! Italian Kitchen. Or perhaps you’ll start your day at the parade in Detroit and end it with a fancy dinner at Fleming’s.
Remember, Thanksgiving is all about being grateful and spending time with loved ones. Whether cooking up a storm in your kitchen or picking up a ready-made feast, what matters most is the company you keep. So, this Thanksgiving, focus on making memories, not stress. With all these great options in and around Livonia, you’re sure to have a delicious and delightful holiday.
