The parade was absolutely worth watching and im so pleased i booked in to a hotel on the route as we were in the window as giant balloons were going past our window very surreal but fantastic. What ever you decide to do for thanksgiving and where ever you decide to be on the route im sure you will really enjoy the parade.

You will catch it action and it is incredible. If you go later in the eve you will see them already inflated. I think the floats are assembled very late in the eve 77street-84-85th street. that may be closer to midnite. It is so much fun to be there. Jim,
