Gray's Papaya HOT DOGS is one of the more "New York" of restaurants you can find in the city. It's a unique place that bases their menu on hot dogs and on papaya juice. A very interesting combination!

There are multiple locations in the city. They are all standing room only! This is not a sit down restaurant.

One of the biggest tourist attractions in NYC happens every Thanksgiving with the famous Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Most people have watched the parade on television and are excited to be able to see it in person for the first time.

The parade starts on 77th street and marches down Central Park West until it gets to Columbus Circle where the parade turns onto Broadway until reaching Macy's on 34th street.

The parade goes from 9am to 12pm but if you want to get a good view you'll have to find a space long before 9am as the crowd is huge!
