Is the best place to sit for the Macys parade up near Columbus circle and along side the park? -

Have been told to sit along side of central park, and near columbus circle for the Macy s parade, just wondering if this is the best place, and if we arrived around 530am if that would be early enough to get front seats? Thanks

This article has the parade route and yes 5:30 AM should get you front row.

It is an excellent location. However, I would recommend getting there early, so you can be in the front row. There are no seat, so you ll have to stand.Good luck
