New To The Parade

Hello Kitty, Papa Smurf, and something called the Elf On The Shelf are the three new balloons set to appear in tomorrow’s Macy’s Parade. As with many things in New York City, it’s better to watch the parade on TV than it is in person. A few years ago a buddy and I went to the Upper West Side to watch the balloons being inflated on Thanksgiving Eve. We couldn’t get within five blocks of the site due to the lines.
