10. NYC Pilgrim Pedal

Why is Halloween the only time when it’s socially acceptable to dress up? Ever wanted to don an absurd, outlandish turkey costume during Thanksgiving and ‘parade’ around the streets? Well here’s your chance; NYC Pilgrim Pedal is a ten to twelve mile family bike ride that takes place on Thanksgiving Day and the day after. The group bike-ride starts and finishes in Manhattan, but features a breakfast stop at a famous Brooklyn Diner. Best of all, the tour has prizes for the best turkey costume and best decorated bike—so what other excuse do you need to wear your outlandish turkey costume?

The tour costs $35, which includes breakfast. Best of all, it ends at 12:30 pm, before the football games start. So if riding a bike around the city while dressed as a turkey is on your bucket list, this is the event for you. More information can be found here.
