What New Jersey Thanksgivings Are Like
Since 1789, Thanksgiving has been a staple during the fall season for Americans thanks to none other thank president George Washington. New Jersey, being so packed and full of love might hold the best Thanksgiving celebrations, spanning the many cultures that hold it together. Now a recent survey shows when & what New Jerseyans love to eat!
Ok, so apparently the most likely time to eat in a New Jersey household on Thanksgiving is between 3pm-4pm. Makes sense, I feel like I don’t eat all day until dinner is ready, might as well make it a linner! A third of people will agree, with more than a quarter preferring an hour earlier, and a fifth enjoying dinner between 4pm-5pm.
