Thanksgiving in New England – Dinner in New York City

Posted on by

Thanksgiving! Last year, Thanksgiving was a bit too busy for me to fly back to the United States… classes, and general insanity, conspired to keep me in Dublin. Which, frankly, was a perfectly lovely time with friends and classmates. 2025, however, had none of those challenges… and thus, saw Andrea and I winging our way to New England for a well-deserved holiday…

One of the big things Andrea had asked that we make sure to do while visiting New England was to make our way slightly out of bounds, and out to New York City. Specifically with the goal of seeing a few shows on Broadway that she’d been hearing good things about. Now, I won’t say no to a bit of adventure, and the chance to catch up with family friends, and see the sights of NYC, wasn’t something I’d be at all sad to add into the adventure itinerary.

First major stop? Cafe Un Deux Trois!

Sadly, they’ve closed down now after 47 years… so I’m extra thankful for the memories!

Flying is one of those really fun things for me. I adore the calmness once you’re in the airport… it’s magical time, to me, where I can really focus in and get things done.

This time was no exception. Flying from Dublin to Boston is simple and easy, thanks to TSA being on this side of the pond (probably due to the sheer volume of Americans coming back here), so it’s clean, it’s simple, and it’s a beautifully quiet spot.

Christmas in Newmarket yards

Walking home from… Well, walking home from something, I saw wreaths up for sale in one of the shops near the apartment.

I mean, it works, right? They’d put up the Christmas trees earlier, so… yeah. It felt like it was time.

Seriously – one of the things I appreciate about living in an apartment building like this is the decorations. They’re just that lovely extra little bit of fun to the year.
