New York City apartments aren’t known for their ample space, so a group of friends took matters into their own hands in the most New York way possible.
The enthusiastic group who wanted to enjoy a Thanksgiving meal together in the Big Apple took to the subway.
The festive scene was shared on TikTok by user Akriti, who captioned the clip: “When your apartment in New York isn’t big enough to host a Thanksgiving dinner.”
—Only in New York? she wrote in the video.
The short clip showed a subway car filled with five people sitting at a beautifully set table, with an orange tablecloth, a candle and a decorative pumpkin.
The table was full of food, while the guests ate and chatted among themselves.
A man sitting at the head of the folding table began carving the turkey, while the other passengers around him seemed unfazed.
Comments on the video were mixed, with some being disgusted by the idea of eating on public transport.
The festive scene was shared on TikTok by user Akriti, who captioned the clip: “When your apartment in New York isn’t big enough to host a Thanksgiving dinner.”
‘I can’t eat on the train. I feel like the air is polluted or the water is going to stain my food,” one user wrote.
‘Wait, I NEED to know how you made this lmao but also… is it sanitary?’ questioned another.
“The one where they celebrated Thanksgiving on the subway,” another joked, referencing Friends.
“My problem is that you know you don’t share with homeless people that they don’t actually have Thanksgiving and don’t have to celebrate it on the train,” criticized another.
‘Only transplants do stupid things like this for likes.’ “This is selfish and inconvenient for travelers, especially disabled ones,” another fumed.
It’s not uncommon for strange things to happen on the New York subway.
In September, a video circulating on the Internet showed live crabs escaping from a woman’s purse on the train, terrifying the entire carriage.
It is unknown when the video was initially filmed, but it was filmed by Instagram user Ian O’Conner.
The short clip showed a subway car filled with five people sitting at a beautifully set table, with an orange tablecloth, a candle and a decorative pumpkin.
A man sitting at the head of the folding table began to carve the turkey, while the other passengers around him seemed unfazed.
In the clip, a woman is seen frantically pushing a paper bag in the middle of the train after it broke.
The bag contained live crabs and the alleged owner of the crabs briefly attempted to put them back in the bag.
Meanwhile, the passengers around them made sure to stay out of the crabs’ reach.
Social media users were captivated by what they could see, as shocked onlookers looked on as someone else tried to move the bag, which appeared to be broken.
