The holidays in New York bring plenty of reasons to gather around a table. A Thanksgiving dinner with family, a Christmas meal with friends, or a reunion with someone visiting the city can all start with the same plan: choose a welcoming restaurant, order something good, and enjoy the time together.

This holiday season, join us at Pera Soho for Thanksgiving and Christmas 2026, with seasonal specials served alongside our full Mediterranean menu. Our kitchen is preparing dishes that bring together familiar holiday favorites and the flavors you know from Pera.



All holiday specials are served à la carte, and our full regular menu will also be available. There’s room for a traditional turkey dinner, a seafood main, a few appetizers to share, or a meal built entirely around your Pera favorites.

Located at 54 Thompson Street, at the corner of Broome Street, Pera Soho is a convenient place to meet for a holiday meal in the neighborhood, whether you live downtown or are visiting New York for the season.


Thanksgiving Dinner in Soho on November 26, 2026

Thanksgiving is a day for familiar flavors and a table full of people you’re happy to see. At Pera Soho, our Thanksgiving specials include a classic roasted turkey dinner, seasonal appetizers, and lamb chops with Mediterranean accompaniments.

Join us on Thursday, November 26, 2026, and leave the cooking to our team.

Start with Seasonal Soup and Thanksgiving Dips

Begin your Thanksgiving meal with Potato Leek Soup, a comforting start before the main course.

For something to share, our Thanksgiving Dips bring three seasonal preparations to the table:

  • Pumpkin hummus

  • Whipped feta with cranberry compote

  • Beet borani

The selection brings pumpkin, cranberry, and beets into a Mediterranean opening to the meal. Order it for the table while everyone catches up and decides what comes next.


A Traditional Turkey Dinner—or Thanksgiving Lamb Chops

For guests who look forward to turkey every year, our Oven Roasted Turkey comes with mashed sweet potato, cranberry sauce, sage stuffing, and collard greens. It’s a Thanksgiving plate with the accompaniments that make the holiday feel familiar.


Our Thanksgiving Lamb Chops offer another option, served with crispy carrot fries, honey-whipped ricotta, and pistachio gremolata. The dish brings together savory lamb, a little sweetness, and the texture of pistachios.

Since both dishes are available à la carte, each person can choose the Thanksgiving dinner they want. And if someone at the table is looking forward to a favorite from our regular menu, that will be available too.


Finish with Homemade Pumpkin Pie

Thanksgiving dessert calls for Homemade Pumpkin Pie. Save room for a slice to close out the meal, whether you’ve chosen turkey, lamb chops, or something from our Mediterranean menu.


Christmas Dining in Soho: Our 2026 Specials

Christmas plans often bring together people with different tastes. Some want a slow meal with several dishes to share; others already know exactly what they’ll order. Our Christmas specials give the table plenty to choose from, with meat and seafood options alongside the full regular menu.

For Christmas 2026, the specials include smoked lamb tacos, grilled romaine, braised short ribs, grape leaf wrapped branzino, and kunefe with spiced “kaymak.”


Christmas Appetizers to Begin the Meal

Start with Smoked Lamb Tacos or Grilled Romaine Caesar with roasted beets.

Order an appetizer for yourself or choose a few dishes for the table. With the regular menu also available, you can combine Christmas specials with your usual Pera order and build the meal as you go.


Braised Short Ribs and Grape Leaf Wrapped Branzino

Our Braised Short Ribs are served with cauliflower puree—a comforting choice for a winter holiday meal.

For seafood, choose Grape Leaf Wrapped Branzino, bringing a Mediterranean preparation to the Christmas table.

Whether your group leans toward meat, fish, or a mix of dishes, the à la carte format makes it easy for everyone to order individually while still sharing a meal together.

Finish your Christmas meal with Kunefe, served with spiced “kaymak.”

It’s a chance to make a Mediterranean dessert part of your holiday tradition, or to return to a favorite you already look forward to ordering at Pera.


Holiday Specials and Our Full Menu, All À La Carte

When choosing a restaurant for Thanksgiving or Christmas in NYC, the menu format can be as important as the dishes themselves.

At Pera Soho, both the holiday specials and our full regular menu are available à la carte. You can choose a seasonal appetizer and a regular-menu main, enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving dinner, or order several dishes to share.

That flexibility is useful when you’re bringing together family members, friends, or visitors with different preferences. Everyone can take part in the holiday meal while choosing what they would most like to eat.

Spending Thanksgiving or Christmas in Soho

If you’re visiting New York for the holidays, a restaurant reservation gives the day a place to come together. After exploring the neighborhood or meeting up with family and friends, sit down for a meal without planning the shopping, preparation, and cleanup.

For New Yorkers, it’s also an opportunity to enjoy the holiday close to home while someone else handles the cooking.

Pera Soho is located on Thompson Street at Broome Street, making it an easy meeting point for a holiday gathering in Soho. Join us for Thanksgiving on November 26, or make us part of your Christmas plans this season.
