Christmas Windows walking tour

Use this Christmas Windows walking tour map to see the holiday window displays at New York City's biggest department stores. This walking tour covers approximately 2 miles and should take about an hour and a half, depending upon your pacing, but not including shopping time. For the best experience, I recommend you wear warm clothes, comfortable shoes, and keep an eye on your belongings, as the area around the various window displays can be crowded.

Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, New York City, United States

© 123rf.com
26 Nov 2009

Thanksgiving Day throughout the USA celebrates the harvest with a traditional family feast. In New York City the holiday is further celebrated with this spectacular and colourful parade through the streets of Manhattan - in one of the Big Apple's most eagerly anticipated events. Stars and celebrities appear among the many floats, but are dwarfed by 15 or more 'falloons' (a cross between a float and a balloon) representing familiar cartoon characters. There are more than 50 balloons in all, which are inflated on the evening before the Parade as part of the warm-up. Over 30 clown groups, 10 marching bands and dozens of school bands also form a part of the spectacular. Good vantage points include Columbus Circle and Times Square, but get there early for a place near the front of the big crowds.

Mission
America’s pre-eminent film presentation organization, The Film Society of Lincoln Center was founded in 1969 to celebrate American and international cinema, to recognize and support new filmmakers, and to enhance awareness, accessibility and understanding of the art among a broad and diverse film going audience.

As an independent constituent of the world’s foremost performing arts center, the Film Society of Lincoln Center presents a 363-day season that includes premieres of new films from an international roster of established and emerging directors; major retrospectives; in-depth symposia and high profile events. The Film Society is one of those rare institutions whose stature is matched by its popularity, each year welcoming an aggregate audience of more than 200,000 film aficionados, filmmakers and industry leaders of every nationality, age, economic and ethnic group. The organization has been a pioneer among film institutions and one of the film world’s most respected and influential arbiters of cinematic trends and discoveries. François Truffaut, R.W. Fassbinder, Jean-Luc Godard, Pedro Almodóvar, Martin Scorsese, Wes Anderson– over the last four decades there is scarcely a major director who has not been introduced to American audiences by the Film Society.

The Film Society is best known for two world-class international festivals – the New York Film Festival (the most famous and prestigious in the country), and New Directors/New Films (celebrating new cinematic artists). It runs a state-of-the-art year-round cinema, the Walter Reade Theater (capacity: 268), and publishes the country’s most respected cinematic journal, Film Comment. Each year the organization presents its annual Gala Tribute honoring legendary stars and industry leaders of our generation at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall. At various times of the year the Film Society partners with Hollywood studios to present premieres and special live appearances.

Greenwich Village Halloween

The parade is an annual event that stretches over a mile in Greenwich Village, and according to the New York Times, it is “the best entertainment the people of this City ever give the people of this City. » With fifty thousand costumed participants, artists, dancers, circus performers and musical acts, it is not a surprise that it has become one of the largest events in the country. The key to the competition is creativity, and the wilder the costume, the better!

The parade started off in 1973 with mask maker and puppeteer Ralph Lee who staged a puppet show for the children of his friends, family and neighbours in the Village. After the second year, the «Theater for the new city» stepped forward to present the show on a larger scale, and by the eighth year, the audience had grown to 100 000 !

The Halloween Parade begins on Sixth Avenue at Spring Street, and continues north along Sixth Avenue to 23rd Street.
Who Participates in New York's Village Halloween Parade?
Nearly 50,000 people participate in the annual Halloween Parade, including costumed marchers, puppeteers, bands and more. Anyone who is interested in participating in the Halloween Parade can -- just arrive at the beginning of the parade between 6:30 and 8 p.m and you can join the fun.
New York's Village Halloween Parade Overview
A New York City tradition since 1973, New York's Village Halloween Parade is the largest Halloween celebration in the world. The parade features puppets, marchers and marching bands, as well as a limited number of floats and cars. New York's Village Halloween Parade is the only night time parade in New York City and is a fun and unique way to celebrate Halloween.
New York's Village Halloween Parade Tips
•Dress for the weather -- the temperature can drop significantly once the sun goes down.
•Be prepared for crowds -- this is a popular event, it's dark and it can be hard to keep your group together. Pick a meeting point and time in case you get separated.
•Parade watchers start lining up 2 hours before the parade begins -- with some persistance (& walking) you should be able to find a prime viewing spot up to an hour before the parade begins.
•This is a busy night for bars and restaurants along the parade route -- if you're planning dinner after the parade, consider making reservations (especially if you're in a group).

Address: Columbus Ave. btw. 62nd & 65th Sts. - 212-875-5000
www.lincolncenter.org
Description: Surround yourself with stunning theater, music, and dance at Lincoln Center Festival 2009. For three exciting weeks in July, artists from around the world share their stories on the human experience, ranging from tragic to enraged, from poignant to hopeful and joyful.

This year's world-class theater features the return of visionary director Ariane Mnouchkine and her acting collective Le Théâtre du Soleil, who examine the threads that connect people universally in Les Éphémères. Piccolo Teatro di Milano and Teatri Uniti di Napoli perform Trilogia della villeggiatura, an uproarious satire on the Italian middle class starring and directed by Toni Servillo.

Eclectic musical offerings come from this country and abroad. A New Orleans-style party heats up with A Tribute to Wardell Quezergue, joyfully celebrating the "Creole Beethoven" and the unsung heroes of American music. Justin Adams and Juldeh Camara flaunt their mastery of percussive Afro-Blues on a program with rising Malian star Issa Bagayogo. Two leading Berber singer-songwriters make U.S. debuts, Idir and the "Queen of Chaabi" Najat Aatabou, and Dennis Russell Davies and Maki Namekawa perform innovative works for two pianos.

Internationally acclaimed dance companies bring their signature styles to this year's Festival. Emanuel Gat Dance investigates the relationship between movement and sound in the North American premiere of Silent Ballet on a program with Winter Variations, and Shen Wei Dance Arts explores the iconic choreographer's journey from China to America and back in the New York premiere of Re- (I, II, III).

Two acclaimed theater companies arrive at the Festival from Russia with deeply moving works: the Chekhov International Theatre Festival presents Boris Godunov, an expose of corrupt Tsarist Russia, and the St. Petersburg-based Maly Drama Theatre follows a physicist with a moral dilemma in Life and Fate. Also hailing from Eastern Europe, Budapest's Katona Jozsef Theatre performs Ivanov, based on one of Chekhov's most compelling characters; Polish ensemble Narodowy Stary Teatr delves into the mind of an obsessed scientist in Kalkwerk; and Hungary's Bela Pinter and Company perform Peasant Opera, a hilarious dark musical comedy.

Macy's 4th of JULY on the Hudson

The Biggest Fireworks Display in America Returns to the Hudson River!!
The skies above New York City will explode with some of the most amazing fireworks ever viewed this Independence Day. Once again Macy's, with the world's largest store in Herald Square, NYC, will host the 30-minute fireworks extravaganza that has the entire City of New York "oohing" and "aahing."

Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks in NYC is the largest display of pyrotechnic creativity and firepower in the nation. The show takes over a year to create from the musical score to the perfectly timed explosions of color that fire into the night sky. This awesome display will fire over 120,000 fireworks from all over the world!

The Macy’s fireworks display will feature the show's new soundtrack "American River" featuring The New York Pops as well as the national premiere of the American River Suite with music by Tony award-winning composer Stephen Flaherty and libretto by Macy's own William Schermerhorn with The New York Pops.

Macy’s fireworks barges will be positioned in the Hudson River between 23rd and 50th Street in Manhattan.

For the BEST VIEWS, head to 12th Ave. below 59th Street along 11th Avenue. Please note there is very limited viewing north of 59th Street on the west side.

Fireworks Skinny - You can essentially view the Fireworks from any area with an unobstructed view of the sky above the Hudson River off Manhattan.

Do not go to the East River this year! The location has moved to the Hudson River so last year's viewing areas don't work this year! DO NOT GO TO:

East River
Battery Park
Battery Park City
All Hudson River Piers (except limited access to Pier 54 and 84)
Hudson River Promenade between W. Houston and 59th Street
Hudson River Bike Path between W. Houston and 59th Street


Millions of spectators will marvel as the sky over Manhattan rumbles and explodes with fireworks and the air is filled with a patriotic music score that has kept us swinging, tapping and jumping through our history. If you can't be there in person, you can still catch all the action on Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks entertainment special broadcast live from the Intrepid prime time special on NBC beginning at 9:00pm EST. Fireworks start about 9:15 – 9:25.

Today and Good Morning America " AM Shows"

This summer, Today and Good Morning America are battling for your attention by sponsoring free summer concert series featuring big-name artists in New York City.
The good news: Free concerts featuring a wide range of artists including Black Eyed Peas, Fall Out Boy, Katy Perry, The Jonas Brothers, Green Day, and many more.

The bad news: You have to get up really early. Shows start at 7:00 A.M.

The 2009 Today Show Summer Concert Series will take place Friday mornings (and on some special additional dates as indicated in the schedule below) on the plaza at Rockefeller Center (between 49th and 50th St. near 5th Ave.). The Friday shows start at 7:00 A.M., but plan to arrive no later than 6:00 A.M. if you want a decent view.

Viewing is on a first-come, first-served basis but you can request a fan pass and you might just get selected for a front-row view for an upcoming concert.
