Tradition Meets the Urban Reality, Thanksgiving at Home? They Don't Think So

In a city like New York holiday events are moving out of the home. Whether it is Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Years, urbanites are increasingly deciding to plan their celebrations in restaurants and bars. It is all about logistics and practicallity. New Yorkers seem to have less time and less space to entertain and look for places that can give them the ambience and conveinence that they need for a joyous occassion. Marion's on the Bowery is one of those places.

(PRWEB) November 2, 2005 -- Marion's Continental Restaurant & Lounge in downtown Manhattan has been serving a traditional Thanksgiving dinner for years. Most of the clientele for this special holiday return year after year because of the comfortable atmosphere, the delicious and yet inexpensive traditional menu and of course for the wonderful selections of wines and cocktails that New Yorkers expect and enjoy on this special occassion.

There are so many things to do on a day like Thanksgiving and the idea of cooking and serving in the typical New york apartment causes our customers to say "Why? Let's go to the parade and then to Marion's because it will be perfect."
