ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Diners who would rather skip the kitchen this Thanksgiving have plenty of options in St. Petersburg, where a long list of downtown spots and hotels plan to stay open on the holiday. Several ask guests to book ahead, so calling first is wise.

At 304 Beach Drive NE, The Birchwood is setting out a seasonal buffet in its fourth-floor ballroom from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Cassis, at 162 Beach Drive, keeps its usual menus from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. and adds a holiday menu starting at 11 a.m.

Cognac, 201 2nd Ave. N, plans a three-course holiday menu from 9 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Social Roost at 150 1st Ave. N is open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Teak at the St. Pete Pier, 800 2nd Ave. NE, serves a holiday turkey plate alongside its regular menu over the same hours.
