So you’re stuck in Hampton and everyone is having beans, greens, tomatoes, potatoes!

First things first, ask your bestie if you can crash with her before you jump to the conclusion that you just may be eating cafe food. Most people don’t want to impose on someone else’s dinner, however, most families love serving guest! When grandma knows her cooking is on point, she isn’t going to mind an extra mouth to feed, especially knowing that you can’t go home for the holidays. Also, your best friend, she’s going to love going home knowing that her family just may not grill her about school in front of the guest. Also, props to you, because you won’t be getting grilled this year either!

That goes wrong? Well you’ll have to make the best of the cafe right? No! Try to find out who’s staying for Thanksgiving. I’m sure it won’t be just you! Once you find someone else who’s staying, find a place to eat! Don’t have a car? Uber there! Captain Georges is the best buffet in town for Thanksgiving! It’s unlimited seafood, including crab legs AND Thanksgiving food! It’s definitely worth a go!

Have a heart for the Holidays and help out! While you may be down that you’re not going home, there’s plenty of people who have no home and may be eating at the soup kitchen for dinner! Help out and cook a meal

or serve the homeless! May goody bags and pass them out!
