Fun Things to Do on Thanksgiving in SF
In any year, Thanksgiving with the family can be anxiety inducing, but considering most of us are still reeling from the election, sitting across the table from your racist,Trump-voting uncle is seeming particularly daunting. A lot of families also have this weird tradition of eating Thanksgiving dinner at an absurdly early hour so most of us are freed from the table by 7 or 8 and a desperation to immerse ourselves back in a bubble of liberalism, friends and booze will kick in. I’ll probably end up at the Mint singing karaoke with my friends but here are a few more options to get your groove back on Thanksgiving night
