Viva Argentinian Steakhouse
Viva will be open on Thanksgiving Day, and you are welcome to join them.
They have fantastic staff, excellent food, delicious cocktails, and a lovely ambiance.
Last year, they did a three-course turkey dinner special and turkey empanadas. So we expect something similar.
Our favorite is the steak empanadas, but these turkey ones should be well worth it if they are washed down with some of their refreshing sangria.
