Where to Celebrate Thanksgiving in East Lansing

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at MSU chapter.

For those of you who are unable to go home for the brief Thanksgiving break, fear not because you can still enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving dinner rather than the Easy Mac you planned to make. Although it won’t be quite the same as celebrating with your family, you can have a fabulous dinner with your favorite Spartans right here in East Lansing.

Check out your options:

1. Brody Hall

The best part about this option is that it’s completely free. Food will be served in the Brody Neighborhood Classrooms from 2:00P.M-5:00P.M on Thanksgiving Day. Not only is this is super convenient if you happen to live in Brody Neighborhood, but all are welcome so you can bring your family visiting you from out of town too.

#SpoonTip: All campus dining halls will be closed on Thanksgiving including Brody Square. This event is sponsored by several campus organizations.

2. Spartan Village

In reality it doesn’t matter too much where you celebrate Thanksgiving, whether it be at home, at a restaurant or at school. All that matters is that you stuff your face with delicious food.
