The personal-finance site WalletHub based its rankings on such factors as the weather and the cost of a holiday dinner
In the eyes of many, New York City may be the place to spend the Thanksgiving holiday, particularly because it’s home to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
WalletHub said it based its rankings on 18 key metrics, ranging from “the cost of Thanksgiving dinner and share of delayed flights to volunteer opportunities per capita and forecasted precipitation.”“What has San Francisco got? Is there a parade?” asked Francine Cohen, a longtime resident of Manhattan’s Upper West Side neighborhood. Cohen added that she has spent many a Thanksgiving Eve watching the balloons for the Macy’s parade being inflated for the big event.
And it’s true that New York can get pricey during the holiday, with some restaurants charging more than $100 per person for a Thanksgiving meal, while high-end hotels can easily cost more than $1,000 per night. And by late November, the weather can be chilly: Five years ago, paradegoers had to suffer through temperatures that dipped down to 19 degrees.
Meanwhile, San Francisco isn’t necessarily a cheap place to visit or live. The city ranks among the 10 most expensive in the world. And it has been plagued by crime issues and homelessness in recent years.
