Balloon Inflation Tour—When
you think of the Thanksgiving Parade in New York City, the first
thing you think about are the spectacular balloons. What most people
don’t know is that on the Wednesday before the parade, the balloons are inflated in front of the American Museum of Natural
History. With this package, you’ll get a guided tour of the Parade Balloon Inflation spot and surrounding areas so you can see just
how much helium it actually takes to make all your favorite characters
fly as high as they do on parade day.
Described by The Today Show as "The hottest new way to see New York," on THE RIDE you’ve got front row seats as the streets of New York become a stage. Famous NYC landmarks are a backdrop to a live show with unparalleled technology, fun facts, and amazing street performances. THE RIDE is an unforgettable New York City experience that you cannot miss!
Riders will board THE RIDE, a super-sized, technologically amped-up vehicle that travels the streets of New York. With stadium-style, sideways seating and massive windows, riders have front row seats to the big city. You never know what you’ll see or who you’ll meet along the 4.2-mile route. No matter how many times you take THE RIDE, it’s never the same show twice.
Stay Warm Thanksgiving Breakfast—If
the sights and sounds of the Thanksgiving Parade don’t take
your breath away, the cold November-in-New-York air just might. NYCVP
knows that sometimes the weather might take the fun out of an otherwise
bucket-list event, and that’s why we host our Stay Warm event inside
Heartland Brewery/HB Burger. The breakfast buffet starts at 8AM. With
the Stay Warm Breakfast you can be out on the street to hear the music
and see they balloons and floats pass by, but you’ll also have the added
bonus of being able to retreat to a warm place to pause, get a hot
beverage, and access a restroom before heading back out to the parade.
* Be advised that there is no view of the parade from inside the venue.
Holiday Lights Tour—Thanksgiving
in New York City isn’t just about Thanksgiving—it’s the start of the
holiday season! Once Santa Claus crosses the Thanksgiving Day
Parade finish line at Herald Square, Christmas is just around the
corner. This tour is one of our most popular for a reason. The holiday
season in NYC has always been known as magical, with a special shine
coming to all of New York’s City most beloved store and squares. Holiday
displays become more dazzling each and every year. NYCVP’s Holiday
Lights Tour is a fully guided and narrated motorcoach tour where you’ll
not only get to see some of the most famous department store displays
(like Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s, Barney’s, Saks 5th Avenue and more), but
hear all about the rich history of this cherished holiday tradition.
Thanksgiving Dinner—Thanksgiving
just wouldn’t be the same without a turkey dinner, right? Well, this is
a NYC-infused Thanksgiving turkey dinner, set at the Novotel New York’s
restaurant, Supernova. Eat until you feel like you might bust, all the
while overlooking a perfect panoramic view of Broadway and Times Square
from the outside terrace. Thanksgiving in the heart of Times Square,
what is more New York than that!
