It's time for turkey to take centerstage this week with Thanksgiving arriving on Thursday. (Don't want to cook at home? Find reservations somewhere here.) But make plans for the rest of the holiday week with "Drinksgiving" specials, a couple cooking classes, and a big wine festival making its debut in Dallas.

Holiday Pie 101 at Thompson Dallas
As part of the luxe hotel’s 12 Days of Thompson event series, an evening of pie-baking and merry-making will be hosted by the hotel’s exec chef Jeramie Robison. Specialty cocktails for adults and hot cocoa for kids are included in the $60 price, as is your scratch-made pie to box up and take home along with a complimentary apron. Class begins at 5:30 pm.

Visit locations in Mansfield, and Burleson for all-day happy hour specials including half-price bottles of wine, $5 gold margaritas, $2.50 chargrilled oysters and East Coast oysters, and $2.25 Gulf oysters. Open 11 am – 10 pm.

Tokyo Nights at Musume
The finale in Musume’s event series inspired by Japan’s culinary scene after dark, “Tokyo Nights” will feature on-theme cocktails from mixologist Gabe Sanchez and late-night dinner menu. Think beef tallow fries, bao bun cheeseburgers, and hand rolls. All menu items and drinks are $9 each. While the event is geared toward those who work in the service industry, Tokyo Nights is open to the public from 8 pm – midnight.
