Alternate Side Parking Rules Suspended on Thanksgiving Day

Alternate side parking (street cleaning) regulations are suspended on Thursday, November 27 for the observance of Thanksgiving Day. Because Thanksgiving Day is a major legal holiday, parking meter regulations are also suspended. On major legal holidays, stopping, standing, and parking are permitted, except in areas where stopping, standing, and parking rules are in effect 7 days a week (for example, “No Standing Anytime”).

The Friday after Thanksgiving, November 28, is not a holiday, and alternate side parking regulations, parking meter rules, and all other parking regulations will be in effect. .

Ben Muessig - The Brooklyn Paper

BROOKLYN, NY — Opposition to newly painted bike lanes on Kent Avenue is so strong in Williamsburg’s Hasidic community that one Orthodox leader vows that the faithful will block traffic if the city does not remove the cycling routes.

In South Williamsburg’s Satmar section, the wheels were already spinning against the bike lanes — which eliminated curbside parking and standing when they were painted last month — and now de facto Satmar spokesman Isaac Abraham kicked the conflict into a higher gear when he said this week that private buses would obstruct Kent Avenue to pressure the city to remove the lanes and reinstate alternate-side parking.

L.A. resident enjoys Thanksgiving meal at Hard Rock Cafe sponsored by Chabad of California

LOS ANGELES, CA — Though a popular grade-school history lesson, and a much-anticipated festival with all the trimmings, the story behind Thanksgiving remains a bit sketchy. Regardless of its provenance, Americans appreciate a good celebration, and Thanksgiving has been a national holiday for almost 400 years.
