The Big Apple
Everyone knows that Thanksgiving in NYC is a trip worth remembering! New York is home to the one and only Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, attracting more than 3 million spectators every year…and a whopping 50 million viewers watch from home! If standing outside in the bustling cold weather sounds less than appealing, be sure to book a hotel room that overlooks the parade route. Talk about entertainment in the comfort of your own (hotel room) home! After the popular parade, comes Black Friday, the most epic shopping event of the year. Retailers slash prices, attracting shoppers to the holiday deals just before Christmas rolls around. NYC is special all year round, but this season is truly something else entirely. Tourists who make New York their home for the holidays will not be disappointed!

The town of Plymouth hosts an entire weekend of festivities, bringing the history of the site to life. Locals dress up as pilgrims, soldiers, patriots and Native Americans. The town is alive with street festivals, free concerts and a historic parade.
