Thanksgiving day in San Francisco
 

We have planned a trip to the USA and it turns out 23 Nov is Thanksgiving <BR>Waht do you suggestwe do to celebrate? <BR>Will anywhere be open <BR>Looking forward to your tips <BR>Alison

<BR> <BR>Alison: <BR> <BR>It wasn't San Francisco...but <BR> <BR>Last year we spent Thanksgiving weekend out-of-town in Los Angeles. Wednesday through Friday we got a fantastic hotel rate at the Ritz-Carlton. For Thanksgiving, they had three dining rooms set up for various levels of Thanksgiving dinner: a traditional-type turkey dinner, a buffet-type turkey dinner, and a price-fixe gourmet dinner. Other hotels in the area had offerings as well. Earlier in the day we were out and about, and though many places were closed, we found a few sidewalk cafes open for brunch. Also, nearly everything in Chinatown was open.

<BR> <BR>Alison: <BR> <BR>I hope my response wan't confusing...what I meant to add was that, San Francisco being more cosmopolitan, I would think the kind of experience we had at the Ritz would be even more common in SF. Plus the nicer hotels are more concentrated; perhaps you'll find a variety of choices.

Alison, give us more info because it really depends on what your looking for. Are you interested in a hotel and dinner? What type of budget are you on? How many travelers? Events or performances interested in? <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>

We've got the hotel in S.F.booked for two of us and we've got a moderate budget. <BR>Events wise we want a feel of America and maybe celebrate with a traditional dinner. <BR>Hopes this helps you advise us <BR>Alison <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>

Kam, where the heck are you? Help this nice lady. <BR> <BR>Well darn, I guess Thanksgiving means being with family or friends around a table appreciating good food and wine. <BR> <BR>It sound like this may be your first visit to the USA. <BR> <BR>You ever have a huge Thanksgiving turkey? <BR> <BR>
