In the US many restaurants close on Thanksgiving, but some will be open and
most likely offering a 'traditional' Thanksgiving dinner. Your choices
will be limited, but hotels with restaurants will of course be serving
meals. You might send an email to the city of Naples tourism website to
inquire about restaurant options, because you'll almost certainly need an
early reservation.

As to your first question, most things close on Thanksgiving, so an
afternoon with a good meal isn't a bad bet. Bring your leftovers back to
your hotel (you will surely have a lot) to have as cold snacks later. Buy
your wine the day before, or bring a bottle with you, as most purveyors will
be closed.

You might enjoy watching some of the Macy's parade in NYC on television, and
some American college football bowl games later on. Or not. In fact, if
you enjoy sports you could seek out a local high school championship game -
they are usually settled on Thanksgiving morning. It's certainly not high
culture, but it is Americana and will be a high energy event. Wherever you
sit, be sure to cheer on the team whose uniforms match the colors around
you.

It won't be hard to find some fun, but it's realistic to expect most places
to be closed for the day.
