Thanksgiving is a time when families and loved ones come together and give thanks for their many blessings. It is a time of scrumptious feasts and opulent displays of both food and drink. It is also a time of merriment, Kodak moments and great anticipation, because the Holiday Season is finally upon us.
For most Americans, Thanksgiving and the holidays are a happy time. But, for far too many in this country, the holidays are just another reminder of the great divide that separates the haves from the have-nots.
Milwaukee is no exception. There are many in our city that will need a place to eat for Thanksgiving. The following meal sites are serving holiday dinners on Thanksgiving Day and subsequent times – so bring your appetite!
