Service Changes: 2017 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade

Thanksgiving means three things: food, family, and the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Thankfully even your gluten-free-vegan second cousin Rory can enjoy at least one of those things. Tune in on NBC at 9am EST to see this year’s coolest floats, giant balloons, marching bands, and hottest performances.

This year’s Broadway lineup includes numbers from Anastasia, SpongeBob Squarepants, Waitress, Tony Award-winning Dear Evan Hansen, and more. Enjoy the musical stylings of Gwen Stefani, 98 Degrees, Wyclef Jean, Smokey Robinson, Bebe Rexha, and so many more while you help Uncle Mark figure out how to cook a Tofurky. Or if you’re ready to brave the cold and crowds to watch one of the the most iconic events in New York City, here are the best spots to spectate.

Before the big day, we have a some changes to our usual operations that riders should be aware of:
