It's a national holiday today, so government offices are closed (though the Eighth Avenue & 32nd Street post office is open), as are many businesses. There's no sanitation pickup, street cleaning or recycling in the city and mass transit are operating on Sunday or holiday schedules. The financial markets are closed. In the editorial pages, the NY Post revisits different Thanksgiving prayers from U.S. Presidents, the Daily News does the same but adds a prayer from Plymouth Colony's William Bradford, and the NY Times suggests we should be thankful for what we have and to think of others in these tougher times, "This is a nation eager to be called to service and selflessness and humility; to be able to give thanks again for who we really are, for our better nature, as well as for the riches we enjoy."
