For native New Yorkers or anyone stuck in NY for Thanksgiving, I recommend you share my obsession with things that float on water and check out the Brooklyn Working Waterfront boat tour, which runs along the East River with pick-up and drop off at both South Street Seaport and Fulton Ferry Landing around 11:00 a.m. Price varies, etc. etc. – check out http://www.brooklynhistory.org/calendar.html for more info.

As for me, I prefer an historically accurate celebration of Thanksgiving: I’m going to beat up some underage prostitutes with frozen-turkey nunchucks, just like the Pilgrims did.
