  • Here's How to Watch and Stream the 2019 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade!

    8/20/2019 11:54:19 AM Link 0 comments | Add comment

    The iconic holiday parade has been around since 1924!

    When fall officially arrives on September 23, the countdown for Thanksgiving will commence, because when did we ever stop thinking about turkey, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie? Of course, we’re also excited for Halloween (hello, haunted houses and scary stories), but there’s nothing quite like waking up on Thanksgiving Day and watching Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade with the whole family.


    If you’re planning to see the star-studded parade in-person, remember to bundle up for the chilly fall weather or if you’re looking forward to watching from bed, make sure to grab a cup of hot cocoa before the event begins.


    Here’s everything you need to know about the 93rd annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade :


    When is Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade?
    Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade airs on Thanksgiving Day in the United States. This year, the holiday falls on Thursday, November 28. The long-standing tradition started in 1924 when the infamous parade first debuted and was later televised for the first time in 1946.


    What time does Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade start?
    Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade will begin at 9 a.m. and end at 12 p.m. in all time zones. In the three-hour event, bands from across the country, Broadway performers, and musical guests will make their way through the 2.5-mile route on Macy’s signature floats—starting at 77th Street and Central Park West before heading south to Herald Square at 34th Street.


    How can I watch and live stream the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade?
    If you’re staying cozy at home, there are several ways to watch and live stream Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. NBC’s live coverage will begin at 9 a.m. on your local TV channel and on the NBC website. In case you’re watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade from your laptop, tablet, or phone, you can live stream it through the NBC app—available on iOS and Android.


    CBS’s live coverage will begin at 9 a.m. Eastern with delayed coverage at 1 p.m. Pacific. Tune into your local TV channel or head over to the CBS website. If you’re planning on watching from a device, you can live stream it on the CBS app—available on iOS and Android.


    Both NBC and CBS are available to live stream from their respective apps on Amazon Fire, Apple TV, and, Roku. Other live streaming options include: Hulu Live TV, Sling TV, YouTube TV, and PlayStation Vue.


  • How to get around Tokyo Japan for the Summer Games

    8/1/2019 2:08:36 PM Link 0 comments | Add comment

    Tokyo is sure to be in its prime during the Summer Games. As is usually the case when traveling outside of your familiar surroundings, there are always challenges present.


    GETTING AROUND TOKYO & TRAVEL TIMES


    As is the case in most great cities of the world, traffic and congestion can be an issue in Tokyo. Add to that the confusing address system and getting around can be a challenge.


    In addition, traffic during the Games often isn't as bad as expected. Some schools and businesses will shut down for the competition period and a portion of local commuter traffic is reduced from the equation.


    Another upside is that Tokyo has a notoriously punctual train system, which will make getting to the Summer Games venues quick and comfortable.


    In addition to the efficient train system, taxis and ride sharing services like Uber are also plentiful in Tokyo. It's worthwhile to note that most taxi drivers will not speak English so having your destination written in Japanese is helpful when possible (our local hosts and hotel concierge can assist with this). On Japanese taxis, a red light illuminated in the front window indicates that the vehicle is available for hire.


    The bottom line: this is still one of the biggest events in the world and our best advice is to plan for extra time, be flexible, and bring along a good pair of walking shoes as many games' venues have wide security parameters. But don't think you're in this alone; it's the goal of our host team to make your experience as seamless as possible.
