One of the most popular traditions in the city is The Macy\u2019s Thanksgiving Day Parade, which dates back to 1924. That said there are a plethora of events to enjoy (for everyone) from floats, marathons, and sumptuous Thanksgiving feasts. We think everyone should go to NYC at least once for Thanksgiving!<\/p>\n Why now?<\/b> Weather-wise, it is fall in NYC in November. The temperatures are mild and the city is decked up in beautiful fall foliage (head to Central Park, Prospect Park, and Fort Tryon Park to capture the colors).

For couples and solo travelers seeking new cultural experiences like visits toBuddhist temples or food enthusiasts to indulge in authentic Thai cuisine, Thailand is an amply rewarding destination.<\/p>\n Why now?<\/b> With the rainy season gone, Thailand in November is a great time to visit.

The festive season offers a perfect blend of traditional Thai celebrations and a touch of Thanksgiving spirit.<\/p>\n Where to eat?<\/b> Like we mentioned earlier, an atypical Thanksgiving means the feast too comes with a Thai twist, like at the Mandarin Oriental.

The experience is one-of-a-kind and we highly recommend it.<\/p>\n Where to eat?<\/b> CUT at 45 Park Lane is a modern American restaurant in London which serves a 3 course Thanksgiving meal with all the trimmings and desserts like pumpkin cheesecake and pecan pie.
