Thanksgiving in NYC 2007

Some of the world's best hot dogs come from street vendors like this one!

Santa's Elve's on Strike

In November of 2007, Tom and I flew to NYC to spend Thanksgiving with Rachel, Garrett and the kids. On "Black Friday" , the busyest shopping day of the year, we ventured onto the streets of Manhattan to see how the folk up there shop! What we didn't expect was all of Santa's elve's to be on strike! It was the funnest sight.
As we were making our way down 5th Ave. Up pulls two tour buses and one unloads 25-30 elve's all carrying signs and chanting! The 2nd one was carrying this guy dressed in a white tux and an all black choir singing. News reporters with camera crews were chasing after them for the story of the day! All I can say is, "Only in New York City".
