During the holidays New York City is one of the most breathtaking places to visit. There is something for everyone to see and experience.

These festivities bring a lot of traffic, dreary taxi rides, crowded subway cars, and a sea of tourists and locals walking briskly to reach their destination. The spectacular holiday events are worth the stress of the busy city.
Must See Events
Thanksgiving just isn’t the same without attending The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, if you can avoid the blocked off streets, detours, traffic, and crowds. The parade begins at 9 am, so make sure you plan ahead to secure your prime viewing spot as early as 6 or 7am.
