New York City’s First Tourism Initiative Since Pandemic

If there is one thing that the coronavirus pandemic has taught us, it is that things change constantly.

Over the last few weeks, we have learned about the cancellation of the live Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade, the closure of Century 21, and the removal of many states from New York’s mandated quarantine- list. Indoor concert and comedy spaces remain closed, but protocols have been set in place for indoor dining.

And now, for the first time since March, New York is introducing a new tourism initiative designed to recharge the city’s economy, stimulate local travel, and bring back the appeal of the Big Apple.

All In NYC: Neighborhood Getaways offers more than 200 deals and specials in hotels, museums, eateries, parks, and facilities across the five boroughs. Aimed primarily at New Yorkers looking for fun staycation opportunities at reasonable prices, All in NYC is the city’s most robust and varied tourism platform ever.  

Social distancing, health recommendations, and safety protocols are observed at all sites.

Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade

Visitors to New York can enjoy the 92nd annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Over 3.5 million people are expected to attend the display of balloon and floats.

The parade will take place along a 2.5 mile stretch in NYC, and also features performers, bands and clowns. This year, there will be 16 giant character balloons and a total of 1,350 handlers!

For those who want to get a head start, stop by to watch the balloons being inflated outside of the American Museum of Natural History.

Visitors should be prepared for cold weather as the expected outdoor temperature is 40 degrees.
