Question: Good Eats on Turkey Day in the Bay Area

I am wondering if anyone has restaurant recommendations for Thanksgiving in San Francisco. I'm not really interested in a traditional meal: I'm mostly wondering if there are any good Chinese or Indian joints that will be open, or places that will be serving their regular menu.

Bonus points if you know of any coffee shops or bars that will be open in the evening. This question suggested that bars will open as usual at night--is that the case?

As far as location goes, I'm open to anything, though if it's easily walkable/bikeable from a BART stop that would be grand. Oakland and Berkeley recommendations are fine too, as long as they are absolutely righteous.

I haven't seen "Closed on Thanksgiving" signs on any restaurants in San Francisco or the East Bay. I'm sure there will be some, but for the most part tomorrow is a day like any other for eating out.

So you don't want traditional, though I would be remiss not to metion that Tommys Joynt makes a mean turkey dinner.

Dusit Thai on mission street. Ask for Fried Eggplant with Crispy Basil (not on the menu), it's amazing.
