The 83rd annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade kicks-off Thanksgiving Day at 9:00 am in New York City. If you've always wanted to see the parade in person instead of on TV, a little planning should make your life easy. First, note that this year’s route has been changed. Instead of marching down Broadway the parade will head down 7th Avenue. According to the official parade web site, plan to get there early for the best viewing spots and note that the city will not allow the use of folding chairs.
Keep in mind New York City is not a place to try and drive a Motor Home. Use Park and Ride lots outside the city to park your camper and drive in with your car. Also, in New Jersey, Liberty Harbor RV Park is open all year. The Park has views of the Manhattan skyline and the Statue of Liberty. It provides easy access to the ferry’s to New York and is only 5 blocks from the PATH subway line into lower Manhattan. Call to confirm availability and the transit schedule for Thanksgiving week-end.
Another alternative is to drive your dingy through the Lincoln Tunnel and park in the Port Authority Garage right as you exit the tunnel. There are also plenty of other parking garages around the city and traffic should be relatively light on Thanksgiving Day. A great resource is the Icon Parking Web Site which lists locations for all their garages along with prices and coupons if available.
