Holidays
Me and Spongebob all up close
Inflation Instructions
Thank you, Kim, for the photo
If you’re in NYC next year, make sure to stop by and see the balloons up close. There’s a viewing area that’s open to the public; it’s crowded but moves along nicely.
Also, while on our private tour (yeah, rubbing it in), Kim of Mom In The City and I discovered that all the parade balloon handlers are Macy’s employees. (Some employees have been participating for over 50 years!) However, employees can sponsor their friends and family too. Any readers out there who want to sponsor me and Kim next year? Bueller?
Don’t forget, tomorrow’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade televises on NBC starting at 9am (all time zones).

If you’re going to be in town now through the Holidays, I can’t recommend enough attending the Radio City Christmas Spectacular. I bought tickets last year and this year went as the guests of MSG (the show’s producers). At this point I think we’ve officially made it a holiday tradition, which we’ll happily continue.
Here are some pictures I snapped.
Now thru Sunday, December 6th the fine folks at MSG are offering Orchestra seat tickets starting at $49.99. This offer is valid for 32 performances of the Radio City Christmas Spectacular playing between now and December 13. Use code NOV when purchasing tickets. If you’d like to see a full listing of the valid performances, click here.

Oh, one more time of the year when I love New York City… Cherry Blossom season in late April. Visiting the Brooklyn Botanic Garden is on my 40 Before 40 list as well since it has one of the largest collection of blooming cherry blossoms. Stay tuned.
I love New York City most during the Holidays
Remember my 40 Before 40 List? I’ve been enjoying actually doing the things I have been dreaming about.
So, when I was invited by the nice folks representing NBC get a private viewing of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Balloons, I was all over it.
#28. Take my son to see the balloons being filled on the eve of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
It was awesome.
