#### **The biggest stars of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade are the giant balloons! Get an up close and personal view of the balloons as they get inflated along Central Park West. You’ll join the group on the Upper West Side then set out to get an awesome perspective on this iconic event! Along the way you will learn about the history of the parade and a little about the Upper West Side.**
#### **The group will meet in front of Dunkin’ at 166 W 72nd St, New York, NY 10023. At 12pm sharp we will then venture out to see the balloons being inflated. After the inflation tour, which includes a little history of the parade and balloons, the group will go back to a nearby tavern for more food and drinks!**

#### **\*\*\*\*\*\*Do we have special passes or access to the balloons? No, but your guide will make navigating the crowds fun and informative.**
