Here's some of the info. For the map and photos, you'll need to use
the web.

The Paperless Guide to New York City <URL:http://www.ny.com/nyc/> is
a publication of Mediabridge Infosystems Inc. of New York City

Many New Yorkers brave the cold, wind, and brave the thousands of
other New Yorkers who attend Macy's annual Thanksgiving Day
Parade. You have to get up mighty early (arrive at 6:30) to get a good
spot to see the parade, but you can also check out the amazing setup
process the night before. Be sure to show up early (5:30) if you want
to see the balloons being blown-up, because this is everyone's chance
to get right next the mammoth cartoon characters so the crowds are
quite formidable.
