After braving the Thanksgiving Day parade last year, my friends and I opted for a simpler approach this year — heading up into the woods. I got my parade fill yesterday before my flight. I met up with a few friends at the balloon parade up by the Natural History Museum. If you’re thinking of going….DON’T. Holy crap was it ever poorly organized. Huge crowds, very hard to get around, lots of cops telling people where they couldn’t go. The balloons were covered by netting so as not to fly away. I did snap some photos though:
I’ve been hosting a friends Thanksgiving for a few years now. Last year we did a completely vegan meal with a Tofurkey. It was actually pretty good I thought, but most of my friends rejected it. So this year I turned back to Whole Foods for help. I have to give them props. The Tribeca store did such a great job packing up my turkey! So easy to tote back to my apartment.
