Every other year or so, I am traveling during one of the two major holidays where I can not cook or eat a home prepared meal, but not this year! I had a delicious home cooked meal … to include smoked turkey, cranberry chutney, kale, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie … all homemade.
I don’t know about you, but if you travel in the United States during Thanksgiving or Christmas, you had better plan ahead. Check out my earlier post about interesting Thanksgiving dinner and my forthcoming posts about Christmas. I know some of you do not like planning and want to be spontaneous free spirits, and that’s okay, but you might end up eating at McDonald’s or worst.
Last year, we were in New York City (NYC) for Thanksgiving and made reservations at Town (awesome restaurant on 56th … between 5th and 6th) at least 2 months in advance. Cafe Grey (near Central Park in the Time Warner complex) is another great restaurant in NYC. Both serve American/contemporary cuisines. [Because I believe in full disclosure, I have no financial relationship with either restaurant. I just want to let tell everyone about positive dining experiences.]
Traveling abroad is a little easier … of course, you have to worry about their holidays and festivals.
