    You can check out a map of the new parade route here and pick out the spot where you’ll have the best view.

    Macy’s says Central Park West between 61st and 72nd Streets offers the best view, but, really, we’d rather watch it on TV.

Tell us what you think! Which Thanksgiving Day Parade float or balloon is your favorite?
