Macy’s Day Parade

Great

We got the beat Go Go Girls c

My wife has always wanted to go and every time I show her the temperature... she changes her mind

It's a tradition and pagentry thing for me

The worst thing about the parade is the terrible TV coverage. Just stick a GoPro out there and let me watch the parade pass.

I’ve been complaining about this for years. I feel like when I was a kid it was all about the floats and balloons, now it’s 90% shitty lip syncing and NBC promos.

However, there’s a couple livestreams on YouTube I’m checking out. That may be our answer.

Edit: it looks like this YouTube Verizon live stream is just a camera stationed in a corner that the parade passes by. This may be perfect... wait now it’s cut to a couple hosts talking about social media posts about the parade... still may be better than NBC.

To each their own, but I truly do not get the appeal of the Macy’s Day Parade. Especially the people who are out there with the temps in the teens with a wind chill in the single digits. They’re insane.

Forget the balloons, just fill it with marching bands.

We stood in 32 degree weather but it was not as bad as you would think

No, 32 isn't bad at all. If it's sunny and not windy, it can actually be a pleasant temperature, provided you dress appropriately.

But today the temperature is about 19 degrees, closer to zero with the wind chill. It's about the same here. I took the dogs outside as quickly as possible this morning and don't plan on stepping foot outside again if I can help it.

I heard this is the coldest Thanksgiving recorded since 1901.

My wife and I went a couple years ago. We had a breakfast/brunch spot at a hotel overlooking the route. It was $300\person, but well worth it. The streets were more packed than any Mardi Gras parade I’ve ever been to, including the Quarter. I’d love to bring my kids.
