What are you to do for the rest of the evening? <p>Sure, there&#146;s a little apathy-inducing tryptophan coma to overcome, but after all that food, sometimes you just want to get out and move around.

But for the 98 percent of the rest of you (ourselves included), it can be quite tempting to hear about Turkey Day festivities at hotels (no slaving over the oven all day, no manic cleaning session minutes before guests arrive).</p> <p>Last week we <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/11/12/9504/3133/hotels/Hotels_Want_To_Spend_Thanksgiving_Dinner_with_You">rounded up</a> a few Thanksgiving dinners at major hotels around the country, but, of course, there are additions to make. Like the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Taj+Boston/ian/114120"><strong>Taj Boston</strong></a>, which is offering a $75 three-course prix fixe chef&#146;s menu at The Café.

But this is one that could score you major brownie points with the kids. Tomorrow, Affinia Hotels launches a Twitter promotion where the prize is exclusive access to the Macy&#146;s Thanksgiving Day Parde&#151;and an overnight stay at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Affinia+Manhattan/ian/119684"><b>Affinia Manhattan</b></a> on Thanksgiving night.</p> <p>While a free night in a NYC hotel on a holiday is nothing to scoff at, the seating for the parade is the big deal here. Tickets are not available to the general public&#151;seating is restricted to the folks of NBC, corporate sponsors, Macy&#146;s execs, politicians, and charitable organizations.
