It’s that magical time of year when the air is getting crisper and cooler in the greater New York area as we enter the holiday season. And while there is a lot to be excited about, there is also a lot of work to be done.
If the holiday season only included Thanksgiving, it would still be a lot of work and planning for one evening getting together with family. Many of us may have family coming in from out of town that they could be hosting for days… or you may be the one doing the traveling during the highest volume of travel for the entire year!
What Is Friendsgiving?
Holidays are a time that we want to spend with those closest to us, whether they’re family or friends. But with the demand that Thanksgiving takes on our time, we can’t necessarily spread ourselves that thin trying to stop by and see all our friends. That’s why there’s been an increase over the years in Friendsgiving.
You have probably heard the term “Friendsgiving” more and more over the past several years. In fact, it became popular enough to be added to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary in January 2020. This combination of “friend” and “Thanksgiving” is more or less what you imagine it is – a gathering of friends around Thanksgiving as a way to celebrate the folks who are important to you but aren’t relatives. Because of the high demands around planning Thanksgiving, it is common to have Friendsgiving catered to take the cooking off your plate.
When Should You Host A Friendsgiving?
Friendsgiving is typically still held in November but usually prior to Thanksgiving Thursday. That said, depending on scheduling with your friends you may find yourself celebrating shortly after Thanksgiving.
You and your friends don’t need to host a Friendsgiving party at your own homes though. You already have enough to do this holiday season. That’s where Skyline’s NYC Dinner Cruises come in! Enjoy our buffet dinner cruise every Saturday of November departing from the World’s Fair Marina at 7 pm sharp.
In addition to our dinner buffet, we provide free parking and a memorable, unique view of New York Harbor. We also have discounted tickets for seniors and children ages 3-10. If you have any kids ages 2 and under, they can come aboard at no additional cost so your friends with small children have no excuse to skip out on your Friendsgiving plans!
Skyline Princess Is A Memorable Venue To Host You & Your Friends This Season
Planning a big get-together with many of our friends gets harder – if not nearly impossible – as we get older. Which is all the more reason to make sure the occasion is as memorable as possible. That is why you would want the Skyline Princess as the venue to make that special and all too rare get-together one you’ll cherish for years to come.
But you don’t have to limit the Skyline Princess to one big annual group outing. You can book the Skyline Princess for private events such as birthdays and weddings, as well as a scenic lunch or dinner. We also have sightseeing-only options for those who just want to take in the view. Contact us today to learn more.
