Cardi B caused some controversy with her Thanksgiving party.
This year's Thanksgiving was unlike any other. COVID-19 and social distancing safety measures forced many of us to cancel travel plans and scale back on the size of our dinner parties- and celebrities were no exception!
Still, in the face of unprecedented uncertainty and isolation, human connection has become even more important. We hope you found something to be grateful for, and that you managed to make some fun like Cardi B, Christie Brinkley and Alex Rodriguez. See how these New York celebrities made the most of the special holiday.
