Ooh All Night, All Night, Oh Every Night, So Hold Tight, Hold Tight, Ooh Baby, Hold Tight

Can’t you have at least one home-cooked meal this year? No need to:

Thankfully, New Yorkers will be able to stuff themselves silly Thursday — without touching a stove.

The city’s takeout culture extends to Turkey Day, with plenty of outlets working 24/7 to offer ready-to-eat or easy-to-prepare feasts for the culinary inept or serial procrastinator.

“This is what you do: You take a big, deep breath and say, ‘I’m in New York, and this isn’t a big deal,'” said Joyce Weinberg, founder of City Food Tours.

“Don’t stress about having a table with 99 side dishes.”

Government offices may be closed, but plenty of gourmet grocers will be bustling.

“You can get fresh-killed turkeys anytime, and all the sides in the deli department — stuffing, sweet potatoes, string beans almondine, cranberry sauce, roasted potatoes, wild rice . . . There should be no problem for last-minute Thanksgiving shoppers,” said Fairway Vice President Dan Glickberg.

Upper West Side mainstay Zabar’s also serves on Thanksgiving Day.

“We’re open 365 days a year,” said owner Saul Zabar. “You can absolutely come on Thursday morning and get everything you need for Thanksgiving dinner. We have turkeys. We’re making 400 of them this year.”

Other last-minute markets include Zabar’s, Citarella, Gourmet Garage, Eli’s and Whole Foods.

Notably absent from that list is Fresh Direct, which somehow had problems delivering thanksgiving dinner on time last year (this from a company that does only one thing — deliver food).
