It's Twitty Tuesday at JennyMariePR.com!!!
Happy Thanksgiving to all! Here are some cool ideas you might want to explore on Thanksgiving:


1. The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade





If you're in the mood for some entertainment earlier in the day, go check out The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, which will be featuring more than 10,000 participants, giant balloons, colorful floats and marching bands. The parade will be held from 9AM to 12PM EST, but people usually start lining the streets at 6:30AM, so be sure to get there early. The parade will commence at 77th Street and Central Park West, march south on Central Park West, then turn east and continue along Central Park South to 7th Avenue.

2. Thanksgiving at the Central Park Boathouse




If your planning on eating-out for Thanksgiving, you might want to consider going to the charming Central Park Boathouse, located in Central Park near Fifth Avenue and 72nd, where you'll enjoy a lakeside Thanksgiving with a marvelous view and dine from an extensive menu featuring the usual turkey and trimmings as well as options like foie gras and Moroccan spiced cod. If it's not too chilly out, you can even try to rent a gondola after dessert. For more info and menu options check out: http://bit.ly/4pzBN


3. The "Secret" Cranberry Sauce Recipe




I am going to reveal the recipe for best cranberry sauce to those of you who are planning on having the ultimate Thanksgiving meal. Ingredients: You will need 12 ounces of cranberries, 1 cup white sugar and 1 cup orange juice. Directions: In a medium sized saucepan, over medium heat, dissolve the sugar in the orange juice. Stir in the cranberries and cook until the cranberries start to pop (about 10 minutes). Remove from heat and place sauce in a bowl. Cranberry sauce will thicken as it cools.
