New York City is Home for the Holidays - New Yorkers Don't Hide

America wonders how New Yorkers can put up with the stress and the percieved dangers of living in the "Big City". Well, New Yorkers are a strong breed, not arrogant as many think just determined and pro-active in getting what they are looking for. And since 9/11, New Yorkers stay in New York for the holidays.

(PRWEB) November 11, 2004 -- New York City is the home of the brave and the free. And in this tight election year when the powers that be want to make Americans feel scared and then limit their rights, it is no wonder that the most talented, educated and interesting people come to New York.

Where do they go to celebrate the holidays? Downtown of course. Its the area of Manhattan that has the vision and energy of the 21st century. Reactionaries? No. Downtown is where the philosophy is move ahead stop living in the past.

Marion's Continental Restaurant & Lounge on the Bowery in downtown Manhattan has been serving the creative and celebratory people of New York and their guests a traditional Thanksgiving dinner for years.

If Marion Nagy, who opened the original Marion's in the 50s after escaping communist Hungary, were alive today, she would take great issue with the restrictive rights limiting policies of the present administration. And with her that's how the Marion's traditional Giving Thanks dinner came about. Marion wanted to honor and thank this country for opening its arms to her and giving her the freedoms she didn't have in her homeland.

In tribute to her, Marion's will be having it's umpteenth Thanksgiving Day dinner.

Great food, second helpings, famous cocktails and a warm casual atmosphere.

Let's call it hassle free holidays.

As good as it gets and at a reasonable price, Marion's does it right for Thanksgiving dinner. Over the years the restaurant has developed a loyal holiday clientele, so, reservations are an absolute necessity.
