Happy Thanksgiving!

We hope you’re enjoying the holiday and the long weekend. We’ve lined up some holiday-appropriate reading for today and Friday.

First, we look back at the origins of Thanksgiving and how Brooklynites celebrated the day in the 1800s. Later we solve a harvest-themed Brooklyn architectural mystery.

On Friday, learn about a celebration of independence New Yorkers used to observe every year on November 25. Have a great holiday!
