Why The Terrorists Hate Us: Thanksgiving Edition

As much as you may enjoy a traditional home-cooked Thanksgiving feast, there's zero shame in opting to dine out for Turkey Day. After all, who wouldn't want to occasionally skip out on all the cooking, cleaning, and awkward interactions with certain bourbon-guzzling uncles?

If that's the sort of celebration you have in mind for this year, and you happen to have a spare $76,000 kicking around, the Old Homestead Steakhouse in New York City would love to have you. That's because the iconic Meat Packing District restaurant is offering a wildly extravagant and expensive Thanksgiving spread for one lucky guest and nine of their closest friends and family members, complete with a decadent menu of fancy foods from all over the world and a bounty of over-the-top, non-edible perks.

For the six digit sticker price, Old Homestead is throwing in a whole bunch more than just some top-of-the-line turkey and wine. In fact, much of what's included in the package will be enjoyed outside the restaurant. It comes with four $1,250 tickets to see Hamilton on Broadway, a $7,500 Black Friday shopping spree on Fifth Avenue, two nights in a suite at the Mandarin Oriental, a chauffeured limo for the duration of your stay, guided tours of iconic NYC landmarks, a carriage ride through Central Park, dance lessons, and a $20,000 Ulysse Nardin watch.

Damn, talk about excessive luxury. And most of us won't even be able to afford one ticket to see Hamilton on Broadway.
