• An alternative to biking over the Brooklyn Bridge, spend an afternoon ice skating in Prospect Park; the rink opens on Thanksgiving Day. [ProspectPark]

• Walk off the stuffing with a day of shopping at Woodbury Common outlets one hour north of NYC; Black Friday sales from 20—85% off. Take the Hampton Luxury Liner and stretch out on its big leather seats. [oM]

• If you stayed in the city for the holiday and are pining for some fresh mountain air, hop on Metro-North for a hike along Breakneck Ridge. [oM]

• If you ate too much and just can’t motivate to travel as far as the Hudson Highlands, pack your chalk bag and head to 18,000- square-foot Brooklyn Boulders for one of the coolest indoor rock climbing experiences. [oM]

• And if there’s just no getting you off the island tomorrow, we’ll settle for your making a trip to Grand Central for the 8th annual holiday train show at the New York Transit Museum Gallery Annex; it’s free. [MTA]

• Happy Thanksgiving!
