I think it's a combination of both. No one at work, and college kids being home for a few days makes for a great excuse to drink. I go to C.C.M., and the place was empty on Wednesday, though I did smell alcohol on the breath of a few people.
I was thinking about Pub 46, but based on what has been said about thanksgiving eve there, its going to be packed. So maybe Cornerstone in Hillsdale, or a little over the border in Pearl River or Nyack NY and stick to last years plan.
Heres my question...i thought about this last year but never asked, is Thanksgiving eve so big for the simple reason that all college kids are home? Or is it because no one works on thanksgiving (for the most part).. or is there an actual reason?!
