Dine out on Thanksgiving!
Home cooked food is a big part of Thanksgiving, but not everyone wants to slave in the kitchen cooking up the turkey and all the many traditional trimmings. Luckily there are plenty of places around Long Island opened for Thanksgiving dinner, and some have been serving up great food to the locals for many years.

New York’s Famous Macy’s Day Parade
If you are visiting New York for Thanksgiving, there’s one event you don’t want to miss. The Macy’s Day Parade in New York City is iconic for a reason. With giant character balloons, clowns, cheerleaders and marching bands, it draws a huge crowd both young and old. However, the parade makes getting into the city tricky. Delux offers limousine service on Long Island for those heading west so reserving a vehicle with a professional transportation company takes the weight off you. Delux will arrange all the logistics to get you to the day’s event. If you’re flying in or have guests arriving this Thanksgiving weekend, our Long Island airport car service covers all airports in the Tri-State area as well as transportation from MacArthur Airport and Newark International as well as all other New Jersey airports. You can then book with us further transportation to your destination. It couldn’t be simpler! This year’s Macy’s Day Parade has the usual range of star names. It is a great family event starting 9 am at 77th Street and Central Park West. The sidewalks are jam-packed with spectators so plan to arrive very early to ensure a good spot.
Outdoor Parks
While the Macy’s Parade is a highlight, it isn’t the only thing to do in NYC during this holiday. The Bryant Park Winter Village opened October 28th. Taking place in Bryant Park, it is one of the first signs Christmas is coming. There is free ice-skating on the 17,000 square foot outdoor rink. There are also over 150-holiday shops and eateries. Make sure you pick up an eggnog latte to keep warm while out and about, not that you need an excuse of course!
