Turkey D-Day
Happy Thanksgiving!
Hundreds of other New Yorkers have not been so skittish, turning to the city’s many live bird markets this week for their Thanksgiving fare. They swear by the taste, saying a live turkey is far better than the frozen, store-bought variety.
“People say that once you eat a live turkey, you can never go back again,” said Felix Nickpon, who had come to the live poultry butcher for the first time, as had McIntyre.
