You're not imagining it - Thanksgiving is very early this year, and we'll be gathering around the table for turkey by this time next week. Between the feasts most people have planned and the length of the guest lists, it's no wonder the holiday requires a large dining table...the likes of which are not thought likely to fit in a typical New York apartment. It doesn't help that in most modern construction, open floor plans have all but decimated the dining room. So where does that leave New Yorkers - going out to eat or angling for an invitation to someone's house?
Not necessarily. By perusing prewar homes on the Upper West Side, Upper East Side, and in between, we were able to find quintessentially New York apartments with formal dining rooms large enough to host Thanksgiving dinner. Some of these buildings date back to the early 20th century, but the kitchens have been renovated with high-end appliances and enough room to painlessly cook a feast, too. And in something else to give thanks for, all of the following apartments are priced under $5 million.
