Dine with your dysfunctional family and give thanks: There are some bars in this city where you can have a beer with strangers after a long night gorging on turkey and relatives. Here's a list of a few places we've compiled so you can find a watering hole near you. And remember, you can always look for an Irish pub if nothing below suits you, since most of the pubs we talked to are staying open so you can pair the Tryprothan in your blood with a good pint.
