These Deerfield Area Restaurants Are Open On Thanksgiving Day 2026

Skip the cooking with local dine-in options, or order a holiday meal to serve at home. Thanksgiving falls on Nov. 26. DEERFIELD, IL — Many independent restaurants around the Chicago area will be closed Thursday, Nov. 26, for Thanksgiving. But some local and regional favorites are taking reservations, giving Deerfield residents a chance to gather around a different table this year. The appeal isn't hard to understand. Hosting Thanksgiving can mean days of shopping and preparation for a meal that disappears remarkably fast. Dining out leaves more time for visiting, with no refrigerator puzzle to solve afterward. It also makes room for a holiday that doesn’t look the same for everyone. Some people are celebrating with a partner or a few friends. Others are meeting family halfway, traveling over the holiday or simply ready to retire the roasting pan for a year.

Remodeling older homes in Lake Forest: How to modernize without losing architectural character

Emily Olsen Older homes often have details that newer construction struggles to recreate. Original woodwork, thoughtfully proportioned rooms, traditional cabinetry, and distinctive finishes give these properties their character. But the kitchens and bathrooms may no longer suit the people living in them. For homeowners in Lake Forest, Illinois, the challenge is deciding what to preserve and what to change. A disconnected kitchen may need better circulation, while a bathroom with limited storage and an aging tub may need a complete renovation. Successful remodeling does not require replacing everything. The aim is to improve everyday function without losing what makes the house distinctive. Start With What Makes the Home Different Before selecting cabinet doors or bathroom tile, identify features worth retaining. In older Lake Forest properties, these may include solid doors, original trim, plaster walls, decorative moldings, traditional window proportions, and distinctive flooring.
