  Announcement:   If you are parents who will be driving out to watch the parade in NYC and staying at the hotel with the band it may not be wise to try to drive in to the city to watch the Parade!!  See below: The Morris Plains Train Station (NJ Transit) is 11 minutes from the hotel, and for $15 pp. will take you "non-stop" into New York's Penn Station.  From there just hail a cab uptown a few blocks to the parade.  The train station is on 34th st. and the band steps-off on W. 47th St. so it's a short cab ride.  I can give you help if you need it!  Just let me know!  You'll be driving in during rush hour (not for the faint-hearted) and it will cost you $12+ just to go through the Lincoln Tunnel, not to mention the tolls on the Garden State Parkway... then there's actually finding a parking garage ($30+)... ( you won't find any on-street parking) and you'll still need to take a cab!  The train is the way to go.   Uber is still gonna hit all the tra
