During the final two weeks of WD-50, the innovative Lower East Side restaurant that is closing at the end of November, special menus will commemorate its greatest hits since the chef Wylie Dufresne opened it in 2003.

Reservations for the dinners will be accepted starting on Oct. 30 at 11 a.m., only at wd-50tickets.com.

From Nov. 19-23, and on Nov. 26 and 28, dinner will feature an 11-course tasting menu called WD-50 Then and Now. The cost will be $225 per person, plus $75 for wine pairings. On Nov. 27, Thanksgiving Day, the restaurant will serve a traditional three-course menu like the one served to the staff on the holiday. Guests will also be given a leftover turkey sandwich to take home, all for $85 a person. And on Nov. 29, the restaurant’s final night, dinner will feature Mr. Dufresne’s selection of his favorite dishes, for $275, plus $75 for wines. Prices do not include tax or tip.

The restaurant is closing because a developer, Icon Realty Management, is planning to put up a new building on the site.

Mr. Dufresne has made no definite plans to relocate the restaurant.
