Celebrating Thanksgiving Day, Macy's colourful parade is one of New York's best. It features clowns, floats, marching bands and plenty of celebrities. Gigantic helium balloons shaped like cartoon heroes reaching high into the sky steal the show.

The parade route starts on 77th Street and heads down Central Park West to Columbus Circle, then down Broadway to Macy's at 34th Street, finishing on 7th Avenue. Crowds thicken as the day progresses, so find your spot early. The best are at Columbus Circle and Times Square, but there are also good views from Duffy Square (7th Avenue with 46th Street).
