The westside of Central Park around 67th Street to 60th Street are good areas to see the Parade, but you do have to go very early.
We bring thermuses with hot chocolate and tea. You should dress warmly.
If we start out too late, then we also bring a step ladder so that we can see over the people in the front rows.
I agree that it's great to see it in person once or 2x, but then it's even better to watch it on the tv while cooking Thanksgiving meal.

Unless you get there at the crack of dawn, the only thing you will be seeing is the back of someone else's jacket.
As a native New Yorker, I go to the rehearsal in front of Macy's the night before. The acts all hit their mark and do their thing, minus the parade. Or you can go to the park and watch the balloons get filled up.

My friend likes to stand on the steps of the Christian Science church on Central Park West & either West 68th or West 69th St. Get there early, dress warm, and bring a old blanket with you to sit on & keep you warm on those stone stairs.

Rather then bee with the crowds on Broadway< we love to be on Central Park West near Tavern of the Green, or even on their raised parking lot. The baloons are lower and can be easily seen; its fun to be in the park
HAVE FUN

If you can't get in front right along the street, you cannot see a thing.
It is miserable. You have to get there KILLER early to get a good place to stand and then God help you if you have to go to the bathroom.
If you go see it in person, you'll only go once!

No where. I did that and enjoy it more sitting in the living room watching it on TV
