What's Open Thanksgiving Day 2013 in Oak Park, River Forest?

Sent out for more beverages? Open the door to a couple of awkward unexpected guests?

Our appetites can get the best of us on this awesome day (and why shouldn't they?). So, instead of festering over Uncle Joe's odd entourage of cavemen that will break bread with you, think fast and get moving so you can enjoy that feast you anticipate all year. 

Really though, get moving. Most grocery stores will be open for a good chunk of the day until about 4 p.m. 

Some restaurants and bars will either be open or have special Thanksgiving menus, so carry-out could also be a possibility.
