Taking the Family to NYC for the Macy's Day Parade. iPad2 will be rockin'!

[YellowSnow51]

If you are counting at home, that's TWO parades for the Snowman (Macy's and Rose Bowl) coming up. A pretty large number for someone who generally hates parades. But, I am a family man and I do for them.

Anyone ever been? Being from Philly, I'm a Mummers guy but I don't mind cheating on my parade. I need a good place for viewing if anyone knows of any places we can watch from...other than Tim Watley's apartment, of course.

How much helium do they have to fill you with to make you float?

When is Macy's Day? I can't find it on my calendar.

It's like he's watching a parade of his people. Watch out for those great open viewing spots under the light posts.

try to find somewhere in the Time Warner Center- It is a great location and it has a number of bars and restaurants where you guys might be able to get a view- i am sure you would need reseys but might be worth a shot.

Go over the night before and watch them blow up the balloons

Is OP going as one of the balloons or just a spectator?

A week after JC Pennymas

I did the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade last year. It's more entertaining on TV, believe it or not.

This, and then skip the actual parade.
