Slaving over a stove all day, eating endlessly, then getting mowed over by a crowd at the mall (ew)…Now that’s not the kind of Thanksgiving you’ll be having in NYC, is it? Our countertops are the size of our iMacs, and we’re way too plugged in to get sleepy, ever. Instead, stay on top of your wellness game this week with plenty of me time. Think: an organic, cold-pressed juice cleanse, a slimming boutique workout straight from LA, and a complimentary organic mini-facial. And of course, you’ll be feasting too on Thanksgiving Day sans prepping and cooking, at downtown’s hip Hotel 50 Bowery - now that will make you thankful for living in the best city in the world.
