Guide to Thanksgiving in Ocean City 2020
Thanksgiving in a COVID world:
Thanksgiving will be here before we know it, and now’s the time to make your holiday plans. This may not be a normal Thanksgiving for you, with family and friends far away as we try to isolate. Some of you may have your loved ones with you. Whichever reality is yours, this may be the year you decide to get away from it all and head to Ocean City. We have condos and hotels where you can cook your own meal or order take-out and bring it back to your suite. There is free wifi in most hotels so if you cannot be with your family, you can zoom with them.
Harpoon Hanna’s and Pit n Pub both will have seated dine-in holiday meals. Whatever your plans, we hope your Thanksgiving is a happy, relaxing day.
