Thanksgiving, pre-, during- and after :-)

26 november, 2007

Thanksgiving was a big holiday here in New York (and the US for that matter haha). Everything stopped! Unfortunately we did not get to spend it as well as the Americans, we crazy Swedes worked most of the holiday. However, on Wednesday night, me and Camilla went out with Vijay and Suzanne at O’neals for some drinks and we closed that bar, and continued to move up north on Manhattan and hooked up with some friends of her friend at a bar up on 78th and Columbus Ave.

We closed that bar too, I think I was home around 3.30 – 4.00am. Fun though :-) .

Thursday morning was a bit tougher, me, Camilla and Stefan decided to try and ”do the town” and ended up at some Christmas Fair in Bryant Park which was fun. The Christmas tree had some nice decorations we played around with :-) .

Don’t ask me what I am doing here…

The weather was awesome, really warm, and there were loads of people out having coffee, checking out the ice-skating rink in Bryant Park and just enjoying the holiday.

There was also a Metal Park booth in Bryant Park. What do you think of a metal Darth Vadar over 2 metres high? That must have taken a lot of work to put together!

Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade was all morning on Thanksgiving. 3.5 million people was estimated to see it live on location. That required some police work, sealing off some streets and of course.. a cleaning crew.

Me and Magnus saw some great Christmas decorations coming up along the city when out walking later that evening. New York is really gorgeous with all the Christmas decorations!
The Thanksgiving dinner we had at a 24h open place with some food and beer. Nothing fancy, and and old friend tagged along. We ended up at a pub on MacDougal St afterwards, since everything else was basically closed. Not a Turkey dinner Thanksgiving really :-)
