The Plaza, New York City
First of all, if you’re at The Plaza on the 4th Thursday of November, then you better be hitting the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade!

The Driskill Hotel, Austin, Texas
Everything is bigger in Texas. Apparently even the length of their Thanksgiving feast. At the Driskill in Austin, visitors can eat brunch, dinner or both. The hotel even accommodates those who aren’t fans of the bird. The menu also includes more modern recipes such as salmon croquette, smoked prime rib and deviled eggs with caviar.
