Locals and travelers alike flock to New York City during Thanksgiving, as it the home of the iconic symbol of the November holiday: The Macy¡¦s Thanksgiving Day Parade„µ. With low outdoor temperatures and gigantic crowds, many visitors opt to get a hotel room in close proximity to experience the Parade.
The Affinia Manhattan, a suite hotel at the center of it all, is proud to announce that it has been named the official hotel for this year¡¦s legendary Macy¡¦s Thanksgiving Day Parade, taking place on November 26, 2009. In honor of the Parade, the Affinia Manhattan, which will be fully decked out with Parade-inspired balloons on its distinguished dazzling marquee, will offer easy access to the Parade route to all patrons in town for this renowned event.

Like years past, this remarkable event will feature resplendent floats, giant balloons, and live musical performances including the famous dancing Radio City Rockettes.
