I have no idea where this year went! It really seemed to just fly by. I thought we would talk about some of the best activities in November in NYC. There are always so many events going on all year round, but these are those I felt were the absolute must-see for November. I really love the holiday shops in Bryant Park, Union Square and Grand Central Terminal. I love when I can find unique gifts to give as presents. Hope you have a fabulous November!!
In no particular order:
1. Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade - One of the most famous parades in all the world. You can check out the route and map where you wish to view this historic parade.
2. NYC Marathon - November 5, 2017 The world-famous New York City Marathon begins in Staten Island and runs through all five boroughs before ending at Central Park. Stand along Central Park South to cheer on the finishers. Free to watch.
3. Pre-Thanksgiving Parade Balloon Inflation - Get a preview of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade the day before, with an expedition to see the balloons come to life. A tradition since 1927, the giant balloons—featuring beloved pop culture characters—are slowly inflated in the streets around the American Museum of Natural History, at Columbus Avenue and West 77th Street. Nets and sandbags are used to keep them from escaping during the night.
