viewing area for the 2022 event, but as I stated – you can always pop outside and hang with the general public.

I also have to mention that we had terrific views of the balloons inside Del Frisco’s from either floor and the floats and marching bands from the second-story balcony. In addition, there were also big-screen TVs available should you want to see the parade from another point of view. Bonus – before the parade reached us, we were treated to holiday classics sung by the star of Broadway’s Ain’t Too Proud – the Story of the Temptations, Jelani Remy (who also starred as Simba in Disney’s The Lion King), and Alysha Umphress who has five Broadway credits and is considered one of the best vocalists in NYC. The two actors also interacted with the guests and took photos with us – very cool. One other nice touch? Even though I personally did not have any children with me, they provided special entertainment just for the kiddos – such as an artist drawing caricatures of them, a face painter creating festive scenes on their little cheeks, and
To Sum It All Up Between the atmosphere inside the restaurant that morning, the incredible parade views it offered, the scrumptious food options available, the entertainment throughout the morning, and of course – the very convenient bathroom facilities – this is one way to view the Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City that you will never forget and certainly won’t regret.

From the seamless booking process to the hotel accommodations – loved the Marriott Marquis for its fantastic location in the middle of Times Square as well as its beautifully renovated rooms, to the main event at Del Frisco’s – which sits right smack dab in the middle of the parade route on Sixth Avenue near Radio City Music Hall – it was perfection from start to finish. Bucket list item – check!
