Experience the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Like Never Before

For decades now, every year on the fourth Thursday of November, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade has captivated audiences with its in-sync marching bands, whimsical, spectacularly decorated floats, beloved singers and Broadway stars serenading the crowd and larger-than-life balloons floating as high as the buildings themselves. If seeing this world-famous parade is on your bucket list, but you prefer not to stand for hours with thousands of spectators lining the sidewalks in the unpredictable weather the Big Apple is known for this time of year, then we’ve got great news!

Imagine a Thanksgiving morning spent in the heart of New York City, surrounded by a festive atmosphere, but without any of the usual holiday stress. Thanks to Beyond Times Square, you can enjoy this quintessential New York City event stress-free in luxury and comfort at our Exclusive 2024 Thanksgiving Day Parade Viewing Party at Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse! Read on for all of the delightful details!

Location, Location, Location!

Let’s talk about this venue first, shall we? Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse offers a unique, indoor alternative that will totally elevate your parade viewing experience. Situated on Sixth Avenue near Radio City Music Hall – and of course along the parade route – this well-known upscale restaurant offers partygoers panoramic views from its two-story building adorned with floor-to-ceiling windows. Upon entering the venue, you’ll be welcomed by festive decorations, thoughtfully arranged tables on both levels to ensure your parade experience is a comfortable affair, plus a warm, inviting staff. This exclusive event starts an hour before the parade, allowing you to settle in at your private table and get the celebration started before the parade makes its way down to Del Frisco’s from its starting point on Central Park West.

Buffets, Beverages and Broadway

The buffet at Del Frisco’s is a feast for the senses, featuring an array of hot breakfast and brunch items alongside fresh breads, pastries and fruits. The spread is conveniently set up on both floors, minimizing lines and maximizing comfort. And in addition to traditional non-alcoholic beverages, unlimited mimosas and bloody marys flow freely, adding to the festive atmosphere. And the entertainment? Phenomenal! We bring the spirit of Broadway right to you thanks to live performances by actual Broadway performers. That’s not all – there’s also a live DJ to keep the party going as the parade passes by. And we certainly didn’t forget the kiddos – because as you can imagine this is a super family-friendly event! Keeping the littles entertained all morning is a balloon maker, a face painter and a caricaturist. And of course, there’s the main event happening right outside the windows – and on large-screen TVs throughout the venue to guarantee that no part of the parade is missed!

Choose Your Viewing Vantage Point

The parade itself can be viewed from both floors of Del Frisco’s as it boasts a spacious, open-plan layout with a second floor that includes a railing, allowing guests to overlook the first floor and enhancing the venue’s airy atmosphere. The restaurant’s second-story balcony also provides an elevated view of the marching bands, vibrant floats and gigantic balloons. For those preferring to feel the energy of the parade up close, Del Frisco’s also offers a private outdoor viewing area that’s roped off for our guests. This exclusive space ensures that you’ll enjoy curbside views without having to elbow your way through the crowds, giving you the best of both worlds.
