One of the great things about being an expat is that you get to celebrate holidays from different countries, and next week is Thanksgiving, one of the best holidays in our opinion because it’s sole purpose is to stuff yourself with amazing food. You don’t have worry about buying presents, you just have to be thankful that you have people around you. Easy! So here are six places that will take all the ‘mafan’ out of Thanksgiving in Shanghai and let you focus on the good stuff(-ing).

Wherever you chose to feast, we recommend calling to reserve your table ASAP because you don’t want to be left out in the cold this Thanksgiving.
