Greetings! It’s THE RIDE here, thinking about how grateful I am that I get to spend Thanksgiving week in New York City. As my magnificent multi-million dollar motor coach rolls along the streets of NYC, I am truly touched to see all the groups of family and friends gathering together to count their blessings and feast on the traditional turkey-with-all-the-trimmings.

People flock to New York this time of year because Thanksgiving is a glorious transition when enjoyment of crisp autumn weather gives way to the magic of the holidays. Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade is therefore the perfect emblem of the day, ending with a jolly Santa waving in the holiday shopping season. And whether you are in town to see the parade, to glimpse the balloons being blown up the night before, to enjoy a meal at one of the city’s best restaurants, or to get a head-start on your holiday gift-buying, I’m here to make your visit even better.

So c’mon and join me! Choose between always-exciting interactive entertainment of THE RIDE: HOLIDAY EDITION and the sightseeing-trip-on-steroids of THE TOUR. You can’t go wrong either way. No matter which you pick, you’ll be treated to luxe seating that allows you to sit back, relax and see the holiday sights of the city in style through floor-to-ceiling windows, and with support from my patented audio-visual technology.

Best of all, you can be assured that everyone in your group will have a good time, knowing that THE RIDE and THE TOUR are the ultimate in family-friendly attractions, pleasing parents, grandparents and even sometime-surly teens. Ready to accept my Thanksgiving invitation? That’s great—click here to sign up now!
