In sunny California for the holiday weekend, and don’t know where to begin? If you’re up for a challenge, tackle the Black Friday sales! You can see what steals are available at top shops on Rodeo Drive, or head to the Citadel Outlets to maximize your savings. Being the fashion mecca of the country, stores go above and beyond to compete for your business and get into the black before next year.
Head to the Hollywood Christmas Parade the first Sunday after Thanksgiving where you can see the Hollywood sign, check out the handprints and footprints of the stars, and visit the Griffith Observatory during this family-friendly annual event. The Grove, an outdoor mall, will be beautifully decorated for the first time for the holiday seasons.
You’ve Got Options
If you’re looking for someone else to do the cooking, try the Fall Harvest Buffet at Disneyland, one of the most elaborate in the area. The price tag might be a bit steep at $76.99 (less than $30 for kids), but it’s well worth it! The gourmet spread is matched only by the harvest decorations that only Disney could dream up.
Back Bay Bistro serves a buffet from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m., Barton G. is famous for their annual three-course meal, and Revolutionario has a unique “pay what you can” meal from noon until 9 p.m. that always happens the day before Thanksgiving with all the classics. How will your weekend kick off?
